Dragon Invasion is a pain

[Thunderchief]

I've been playing less about a week. I enjoyed the previous event with the towerbut I don't want to do this event anymore. New players don't have many heroes and from the start this event has locked out most of them. I am in an active guild but each day less and less of my guildmates put their heroes on the airship. I think in previous days the heroes had less hours healing but now they are up the 21+ hours, it's ridiculous.
Obviously this event is intended for us to use up our healing options but as new players we have very few and no backup heroes. Maybe if they let us have the king a little longer it would have made a small difference but not much.

Anyway just saying this event is not very friendly to new players and that is bad because they just got a bunch of new players from the epic store event.

The event does favour having at least two rosters of heroes to cycle while the other is recovering.

Yes, after the initial wave, players might have realised the recovery time is too long and therefore opt to progress their individual need for resources, rather than sending them for the event, which also requires gear and boosters to truly maximise damage done.

The event is optional so new players do not really have to participate. If the players feel there is a need to pull their weight, they could if they so wished to. Otherwise, just do what one can do, or just enjoy the game how you want to play it.

Unless you have really good heroes, gear is the most important thing to contribute. Since you get the full money and exp value for the items, it's a decent way to help out without sacrificing anything. I just wish that the preparation phase was 23 hours long and the combat only 1, because most of my guild is in a bad time zone for this.

Yeah, if you don't have the heroes, just ignore that part and enjoy an easy selling of many items. It's still a guild effort, so your heroes aren't really needed for the event.

I've been playing 3 years and this event sucks and is a drain on resources. There is a score bug inflating some peoples scores, plus if you pay real money for cannonballs your roster can beat a better roster without cannonballs. The Dragonmarks are nice is the only upside.

yea this event is the worst. the dragon horde item was cool tho.
