Lunar Event #2! (March 19th-25th, 2021)

Posted 2021-03-22 20:56:11 (edited)

Personally, I think it's a good thing that the applicators and event items are retired after each event — it ensures that these items retain their value and rarity, and is good for the market. It also makes obtaining them a lot more exciting! Overall, I think the devs were very generous and thoughtful with this event because we were given more than one chance to obtain the selene base, as well as the decor. Having a few items that retire sooner isn't really a big deal; users can simply prioritize those items when deciding how to spend their LT. In addition, the healing salve boost and new battle mechanic are great! Although I loved the first event, I think that everything is especially well-balanced in the second one and I don't really have any complaints. I think that if it were made easier to gain LT and obtain event items, then that might hurt the value of those items. Saving up currency and stocking up on healing salves and lucky feet between events are options for those who really want to maximize their event currency earnings (and thus collect more LT). Lucky feet make a big difference when it comes to fighting high level opponents. Overall, I think the devs deserve some appreciation for bringing these events to us. The art is really beautiful and creative.

These stances frustrate me.

42 items per year being introduced and nearly immediately retired every year without end is not "a few items retiring". Especially with how hard they are to get. If they were easier to get, or less of them, the retiring would not be as harsh. Think of the more long term repercussions of the numbers.

Many players only being able to obtain 1 to 2 of the more sought after apps and nothing else every time isn't just something that "prioritizing" can really compensate for with how many items are introduced and retired. And spending $10 -$70 or so PER APP to buy them off other players is very unsustainable long term. It'll also possibly bring up extinction of the traits if people don't use them due to cost, or the pass rate is low and none are available. Those prices are also likely to keep going up the future from release we get.

The "well they'll be available again in the future" argument barely holds water. If we didn't have enough LT to get it when it was available, how in the name of everything canine should we be expected to have enough to get them in a year and a half or more when other things have be coming out and immediately retiring in the meanwhile that we also won't have been able to get all of? That more like a desperate bid to avoid trait extinction by giving very spaced and limited reintroduction of potential popular and overly limited items. Keep in mind, in just over 2 years, there will be around 100 retired apps being reintroduce this way. And it'll keep going from there.

Editing in

Don't forget too, people, that this is technically considered a mini-event, and that full month long events have been said to be planned for the future too. Depending on how things get set up, you might be changing your tune in how you like the set up and retirement schedule of these now. But it might not be seen as something to consider changing later if everyone thinks it's fine while it's the only available thing to work towards.

Anyone know if the lunar tears we have will carry over into the next event? Or should I spend as much as I can?
