Halloween Resolt

In the end a very good event.
Imaginative, innovative, exciting.

What is your result?

I'm rank 90 and don't have the DLC

[vgeorgiyv5591]

I'm level 90 too and I don't have DLC either.
I also managed to earn +237 BC on this event.
But I have a slightly different view on the quality of this event, as they say, "there are no comrades in taste and color."
The fact is that the old Halloween events were much more democratic, so to speak. Players of lower level could take part in them and win, a level 50 player could reach the finals and win without spending money to buy DLC, which is in the first old event, which is in the second. It was a truly massive event, with equality for almost everyone.
In the new event, starting with the very first mission - Colorado - high-level gear is required to complete - 75 and above, and the following missions take place at high-level locations, up to 83. The steering wheels are also located at the same locations, of which there are 12 instead of 56 pumpkins and tombstones from old events. The event is built in such a way that it is impossible for a low-level player to pass it for free - you need to buy DLC, buy baits.
In short, FP is increasingly turning from a widely advertised free game into a game where, if you want to play interestingly, you need to pay for absolutely everything - from a normal boat to the very last worm. There is a transformation of a good folk game into an elite club where only rich people can play, or players who have managed to reach a high level, but they also need to pay extra for a high-quality game.
Yes, the event turned out to be quite good. But in my opinion, the growing commercialization of the game and the transfer of the pleasure previously received by players from the game into a buy-sell relationship will lead to an outflow of real players and financial losses to the owners of the game.

The criticism is of course justified. I too have cursed a lot. I just say dirty windows. But you also have to praise the programming performance. I think this FP event is the best I've played so far. and I've been playing for a few years.
Don't forget, programming something like this is very complex and costs a lot of money

[vgeorgiyv5591]

Yes, the cost of upgrades in any business, of course, exists, but in business it's like in the fairy tale about Alice - to stay in the same place, you need to run as hard as you can. But in this case, it's not about programming costs at all, but about a systematic approach to the politics of the game. With the increase in player spending on the game, the owners are changing the "niche" of the game, transferring it to a higher price category. With this action, they change the composition of the contingent of players - people who are not ready to pay for what used to be free, leave. There will be those who are able to pay, but their number will be smaller, and the company's revenues will fall. The management team forgot that the production of chewing gum and flour will always be more profitable than the production of gold Swiss watches due to the mass coverage at a low cost. And every product needs regular updates and advertising the same way.

Just finished it. I thought it was a fun event even though the Maku mission was frustrating as all get out. I made a bait coin profit but not sure how much since I didn't keep track. What I did like the most was I was 1/3 of the way through level 87 and gained 1 full level at just over 1/3 of the way through level 88 after catching the monster squid.

Do you call this a good result if you are forced to sell the rewards just to balance your baitcoin balance??? So let me tell you that with having sold the rewarded rod you will most likely miss a rod that closes the gap between the biggest freshwater spinning rod (Nile Chasseur) and the smaller saltwater spinning rods! This rewarded rod will probably be high efficient when chasing for Nile bass 200kg+ or something similar. I will let you know in time if this comes true! :-)))
By the way - I did this event without dlc and less than 50 or 60 baitcoins spend - so no need to sell my rewards!

I'm also rank 90 and I also did not buy the DLC. I sold that rod and reel because I just didn't need another so-so rod and reel cluttering my already massive inventory. From what I remember, the rod was weaker than the best freshwater rod. And, I don't see a need to close any gap between the freshwater and saltwater equipment because you can use the saltwater equipment in freshwater if you wish. Most times, the devs do not give out anything for free that will be uniquely beneficial. They mostly give window dressing stuff from my experience.

Of course, if you have received this premium rod and reel, you can keep it for yourself, since you like them so much, just as another person is free to sell it to get BC. Who likes what. I will only say that the premium rod is not the only one that will "close the gap" between Nile Chasseur and marine rods. There are several options for such assemblies in the store. Here, please, compare the characteristics:

Katana Soul 220 - 25....60 kg (line weight 56 - 140 g)
Tri-Flex Graphite 170 - 21.5....60 kg (line weight 48 - 166 g)

Samurai Shadow 15000 - 58 kg (max drag)
Titan Golda LWR 18000 - 59 kg

And this is not the only build. There are several other options.

Who said we were forced to sell the rewards? I already knew starting the mission that I would be selling them because I already have the equivalent or better. I did the event just to do it and got a lot of XP doing it. I don't really care to grind to get to level 90 but I got 1/3 of the way through level 88 and started the event a little under 1/3 of the way through level 87. Not bad for about 5 days of playing.

In opposite! Quite bad for 5 days of playing... 5 days at Congo instead could easily bring you to level 90 (as far as it concerns the aspect of leveling)!

If I wanted to grind for multiple hours per day for 5 days I'm sure I could, but I do not care to. Why do you always assume people want to play the same way as you? I am in no hurry to get to level 90. The event gained me a full level without being too grindy which is fine for how I PLAY.

You don´t know nothing about the way I play this game! Do you?
You need not believe me but you may have a look at this vid here about the rewarded rod and reel:

What does that video have to do with me not wanting to grind to level 90? IFor me gaining a full level to 88 in 5 days is just fine. I am quite aware that I could get to level 90 on the Congo easily but I'm not interested in doing that. I do not care how you play the game. You are the one to always tell people they are not telling the truth just because they do things differently than you.

And another example where you don´t catch the point. But meanwhile I watched your FP profile and now everything is clear to me.... You are just a bigmouth not worth wasting my time. Sorry!

Just to say: The Katana rod is a spinning rod with spinning reel whereas the Tri-flex you mentioned is a saltwater casting rod for trolling which needs a casting reel. There is no other spinning rod available in the ingame shop between the Nile Chasseur 200 as the heaviest freshwater spinning rod with a line weight of 46 kg and the lightest saltwater spinning rod, the Kodo Kyatcha 230 with a line weight of 65 kg! You may see no difference between using a spinning rod and a casting rod. I do!

See my comment above. You might also watch the vid I recommended to Ozzys_Dad above.

But my main critic point is: The devs justified the poor drop rate of baits and the overprized baits in the shop by saying "No matter if you need hundreds of baitcoins as you may rebalance it by selling your rewards". That´s official and I think that was no good as this event in fact forces especially lower levelled players to sell the rewarded rod and reel to rebalance their wasted baitcoins wether they would like to keep the rewarded gear or not.
