This event is great, just figured I’d comment on how awesome this is. Instead of a complaint. The weekly events are some of the best parts of the game.

The event itself is fine but the option to pay money to finish it earlier is not.
This event is a test. It’s designed to see whether enough players are willing to pay money to bypass gameplay for rewards. If enough players buy this, rest assured that going forward we’ll have more events where paying money lets you complete them quicker. Just more Blizzard / NetEase monetising absolutely anything and everything they can think of.

Yes, it is amazing event as you can select the legendary essence you don’t have for your alt character.
To be honest, I don’t really mind if they add “buy quicker” as long as it doesn’t gate F2P players from getting those/certain items in the end, just slower to get all.
And giving the lowest possible rewards as possible as well 
it’s great that you took the time to come here and compliment the team for this event. I also appreciate you starting this thread as it saves me time and effort in doing it myself. I could see this event be ‘great’ early / midway thru Year 1. As we move into year 3, I am left scratching my head as to the Motivation of Game Managers, Developers and those concerned with making Great from Good - have a suspicion that Blizzard no longer has that role. Feel like Blizzard and Netease, like PEISTHAL, have unfolded from their cocoon and what’s emerging is NOT pretty… or maybe its actually a Chrysalis and because no one communicated - it got screwed up.
I am thinking of going the ‘communication’ route cause I find it TOUGH - not hard - But DIFFICULT to think that you would care so little about you Intellectual Property - Diablo - & 27 years of history. If you CARED, you would not even think of doing this:
lets start with your graphics - we know you have issues being completely forthcoming - Ala Boon of Plenty and exactly WHAT you get when you BUY NOW … but to me
The Box says CHOICE and has a Chest piece and a Shoulder Piece. So a rational person would THINK you pick Shoulder Or Chest…
Nope. Dummy. You get CHEST - Cause this is the Third Round. Next Round - in 500 points, even though the Graphic is the SAME - its NOT. That one is Shoulders.
-CHOICE Selection Box–

Am I slightly unhinged here? Am I making too much of a choice box? Ya maybe - but, I am sorry - I thought you were a TOP Gaming company. Not some android game thrown up under protection of a ‘beta label’ on the PlayStore so that any feed back - like its crap - you’re stealing from us - goes - HELPFULLY to the Developer only.
OK - I get it. Its a Choice Box - my CHOICE is Chest pieces this round… I am good. I will CHOOSE a Chest Essence:
-Selecting Chest Essences-

But not ALL Chest essences - well will you look at that. Pick one from NINE Choices. Counting… counting… 22 Chest Essences Available. My CHOICE is 9. Round 1 - Nine. Round 2 - SAME NINE - yup… no new choices. Same 9. Round 3… gonnnnna guess? Yup, same 9 and ect ad nausea. 4 rounds, only those 9…
Why? What was anyone thinking? If you knew the game, you would inherently understand what a bone head move this is. It looks PETTY - Cheap. Players who want to work on class mastery - likely out of luck as its only 30% of the essences available. Players who want to change class - you are offering them the same 9 essences 4 times - don’t forget to SPEND MONEY so you can see those same 9 items FASTER.
from your release notes:
These Tokens will help you progress towards milestones that provide you with a choice between 2 item rewards. The items will always be of either Legendary or Set rarity. In total, there are 14 milestone rewards that can be completed up to 3 times. View the rewards you will choose between below:
Rewards:
- Round 1, milestone 1: Helmet or Chest Armor
- Round 1, milestone 2: Chest Armor or Shoulders
On a PC, Round 1 Milestone 1 Helmet or Chest Armour? Wrong - completely wrong in every aspect. It’s Helmet. ONLY Helmet. Cannot pick Chest. No don’t buy that Crest package to accelerate anything - cause its ALL WRONG. Round 1 Milestone 2 -Chest - only a chest. What’s This CHOICE thing? Doesn’t a QA team sit with the Release notes when testing an ‘event’ that appearing for the first time? Isn’t the FIRST thing they says is 'Oppa! Bug - this is wrong or the notes are"
How do you get the entire thing wrong?
And then we have the SETS…Green SETS - or the mystery about why you left 3 sets completely out of the month long event. If you wanted to Select a ring from Angmets? Nope.
Eager to find a ray of sunlight - we still don’t know what our ‘additional ignite status’ is - and the fact that we can get a 15% chance to attach an additional ignite status to an enemy sounds appealing… but alas
https://yt3.ggpht.com/9dzQr5_YdsXZQNzEKIWf7SJ2GpR9Js_2rh10cAcxNzI-5RAPK0T4WImZKk5yh9Dxfyx1DJEK73pM=s642-c-fcrop64=1,48790000b786ffff-rw-nd-v1
Sown Gold, Angmets and EndWinter sets left out. You hate wizards? well that would account for EndWinter - but alot of people have no idea they even HAD an ignite status and the opportunity to ADD another to an ENEMY will not loose its appeal- regardless of your road blocks.
I am not going to go into the ‘RING THING’ Hopefully someone told you its NOT ONE RING. Each SET has Two Rings. They happen to be different. 2 of the same type ‘don’t work’… so lets go thru this - when you offer RINGS and you put 10 rings in - but not 20 to give a TRUE choice (and not sowngold, angmets or endwinter - got that).
My roadmap (which has checkmarks on it so must be right) has rings given at 500 and 550 points rings were on offer - i picked two Urges - hopefully they were different… Ring again at 1050,1200 then 1850 and 1900 looking forward in 3rd round. So, kudos. 3 rounds - 3 ‘sets’ of rings for a Green set. Just not SownGold… Angmets - no additional ignite status’.
so in summary (hallelujah says the crowd)
Overflowing was your word. You picked it and made an Event title out of it. Sending us home with our arsenal 30% full is small - small hearted like the Grinch, Parsimonious like Ebeneezer. You know the gear in the early 400’s is going to be garbage - you designed it and set the drop parameters. Paragon 330 gear will be better than 400 gear - well until 430 I figure. So lets not get too crazy with an OVERFLOWING Arsenal - 31.8% is just dandy - even without an Additional Ignite Status that I can attach to an enemy…
Not your worst event - but very illustrative of the ‘Effort’ being put into the game - as little as possible I imagine. No renaissance here
Yeah, it’s not like there’s a thread explaining exactly how to do this that’s been linked to almost 80 times since it was posted…
Or perhaps they could take feedback seriously - really want to understand the issue - encourage SS’s, detailed description of the bugs. Ya, NO - please take three steps (not including Searching about how bypass the URL error message when trying to post USING THE EMBEDDED URL FUNCTION.
thanks for the link - fixed.
