Event reward prices should be halved

[MeCallDaBacon]

I'm not crying here, it's doable and I'm gonna do it cause I love Halloween and this game, but cmon.. It's a little excessive don't you think? 15 exclusive Halloween items to unlock, and so far every one I've gotten costs two coins. You get 1 coin for all but two of the event missions, the exceptions give 2. In all it takes 30 to unlock all those, plus 20 for each outfit to a total of 40.
That's 70 1 coin matches, 35 two coin matches, or somewhere in between for a mix.

I just think prices should be halved. one coin a cosmetic piece, and ten for the outfits. That brings it down to a more reasonable 35 one coin missions or about 17-18 two coin missions, with yet again another in between number if you mix. With every game having an event, and the majority of them all lasting the same length and ending the same day, 70 to 35 games, all of which can last anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes is a hell of a ask.

You got like 3 weeks, plenty of time. You don't even have to get them all you know.

yeah plenty of time to play the same nine unchanging missions over and over again. I like Halloween so I would like to get them all, but not everyone has the free time I do. Plus every other Halloween event going on right now. I'm just saying the grind is a little much for the average player.

Although I agree with it being excessive, this game just came back from a drought and it desperately needs the player count to stay active. I'd say its a pretty smart decision to keep it grindy since people will stick around to play it more; I know I will, I want to get ALL the cosmetics eventually before the official release and then be able to flex that to my friends years down the line (im a loser).

just realized the post actually says 15+ rewards, so 70/35 isn't even the max. I understand wanting to keep us playing but thats just soo much grinding with the nine same missions

If you think 70 tokens is excessive, you should take a seat. There are actually 52 items (2 token s each) + the two legendary outfits (20 tokens each) for a grand total of 144 tokens to unlock all the event cosmetics.

with that math and the fast token gaining method being around 3 minutes average not counting the 1-3 minutes it takes to get into the trial so lets say 6 minutes per token

144 tokens makes that 14-18 hours ish of trials to get everything

if you do the 2 ticket ones in under 10 minutes (which is very possible in duos then maybe 10 hours

Maybe the intent here to make sure you don't get everything, so there is something to get for the next 5 years of them doing the same event with the same rewards?

maybe, but so far there's no confirmation that any of the items will be returning.

Yeah I came across that in another thread. ♥♥♥♥ is crazy, gives more merit to both the ideas that they want to keep us playing, and that they don't want us to get everything. I'd be fine with such a grind if everything gave tokens, but only the same boring nine missions do, and I'm already getting sick of running through them.
