What would happen if I left automation on the event adventure?

[OldGamer]

So I won't be back until after the event has ceased.

Therefore, I am going to leave the automation running (which resets at 51) to get any chests that I can get when I hit to 2500.

My question is, will it just keep going - as long as I have 2500 tokens - or will it not allow the automation to continue after the event but still have it running (as if you didn't have enough tokens I guess)?

Cheers
OG

Any event run you're in will keep going after the event ends until you reset.

As for during the event, it'll reset until you have <2500 tokens (at level 51), then if you happen to earn enough tokens during the run, it'll reset one last time.

not quite
as far as I know modron resets only at level end so you may be running the adventure, have less than 2500 tokens, then you hit your wall, wipe, go back a level and as your auto progress stops at that moment I don't think modron automation will work so ultimately you will be running a close to wall level over and over again and even if you get 2500+ tokens I don't think you will restart

Please do correct me if I am wrong.

If you don't have enough tokens to do another free play it won't reset, regardless of the level.

the question was what would happen if you gather tokens while doing such run
for example
Reset is set to 51
you come to 51 but have 2490 tokens .. of course your dont reset
you continue the run
once you hit 2500 AND you complete a level (as far as I can tell) then you reset
you you hit a wall, wipe and your autoprogress turns off, even if you hit 2500 I believe you don't reset (as the condition of completing a level was not met.

You don't need to set the area to 51, 50 is enough. I've been doing that for a long time and always get my chest.

Not the case ... especially if you have really high speed and briv inthe formation sometimes it bugs out and you kill/jump the boss, reset and don't get the reward. Happened to me only a couple of times or so and I am not in the mood to raise tickets so I do 51 (with briv jump rather more) and then I am sure I get the chest

I don't think I was clear enough, apologies.

Basically,
I set a reset to get chests (mine is 51 due to reasons Noeh described.)
Say it's happily running this, everytime I get 2500 it resets.
cool
but say it 7.58pm GMT (2 minutes to deadline) and we reset on 51 as usual.
But by the time we get to the next 51, it is now over the deadline.
Does it

a) reset and then just hang out in the campaign map mode. (aka useless)
b) doesn't reset as it knows its the end of the event and continues to run (aka useful)
or
c) it carries on the level but stops progressing so it doesn't think to reset (semi annoying)
or, or
d) resets one last time for good measure.

Sorry for the confusion.

I am 95% sure it's A but if anybody knows for sure please do share

It does b. Tokens disappear as soon as 8pm GMT rolls around so you won't have any way to start a new run.

Edit: this is both my experience from leaving it running and what they have stated--that if you're in a run you'll continue till you reset, but won't be able to start another.

good to know,do you know whether that run actually gives you a chest?

[OldGamer]

Thanks Soteria.
Noeh, I believe it does give a chest - I see why not. :)

That asset might be removed from the game but I guess not as you can still get it if you use a code or something. Then indeed it should drop a chest.

I think the code is left in, as we saw (for early birds) at the start of this event when Zorbu was in this event accidently you could still get a random chest by completing 50. I just did 3 with him (1 gold 2 silvers) before they fixed it!

5 or 6 events now I've been doing this and I've yet to miss out on a chest. I don't use Briv for it, why would I? He is on my speed team farming gems. Also speed does nothing on a background team. Why would you farm event chests on your active core? That's just crazy. My active core stays on Mad Wizard 99% of the time.
