Am i the only one who hated this month's side events and rifts?

The rifts were so frustrating to me, i always get the same unneeded trash all over again. I just felt frustrated when i kept getting bad, useless rifts, and the chronometers take days to save up so it's not really worth it. I just don't like events that involve RNG. Maybe i just have bad luck, do you guys like it?

To paraphrase Charlie Brown on Halloween, "I got a Groot", from my 1st ever 5* featured.

I liked em, especially get a new 2 star team that I could immediately max out and try. That was tops.

Worst event of the year so far for me. Boring event with RNG rewards isn’t a good combo

I liked the aspect to hunt down specific champs. But they should have omitted the intermediate mission to gather the information, forcing us to use 2*, and do another abundant mission. The tickets should just get you into the reward mission ....

Else it was lazy game design, reiterating MODOKs lab...

I do not like the high RNG aspect. At least they tried to reduce it a little, but the cost for the chronometer was to high.

It would have been so much better if we had just gotten Intel directly from completing the bounty mission.

The event has some good sides and might have looked fresh on paper, but I have to agree that it is boring. It seems to satisfy the “less grinding“ request but not an ideal execution. My luck hasn’t been that bad though, I pulled 2 or 3 5 stars (a Luke Cage which is great and a dupe for Domino) plus a mutant gem with the chronometer.

I don't mind the rifts themselves, it's getting to it that was more of a pain.
Hunt down champ
Collect ticket
Complete quest with 2*s
Collect Intel
Wait a day
Hunt down champ
Collect ticket
2* quest
Collect Intel
Buy detector
Go into rift, remember to change teams
RNG reward
Just an unnecessary tedious process!

I didn't mind saving for chronometer, used it on the 9th rift.

So far, the best I've got is mutant awakening gem (from chronometer) and 10.000 5* shards. I got a 5* Thing from it. So I guess I got lucky.

“Hate” is a little strong. I felt more of a settled resignation towards this month’s events.

The one major piece of saving grace was the chronometer: I’ve often ranted that players should have more autonomy and RNG less sway, and the chronometer was a fair way to do that. I got one thing I wanted that was actually helpful, I got a handful of other stuff that was okay, and it wasn’t that difficult to do.

Without the chronometer, however, this month would be just another series of duels, mindless quests and mostly fruitless rifts for me.

It’s really tedious and 4 energy sucks for lower accounts.

Zola nailed it.

Get ready for next month's third iteration of the side quest no one likes!

I got lucky with my rewards, so I’m pretty happy with it.

Thecurler

I just wish they would get more creative with the side events and quests in general.

Everything so repetitive and grindy.

The fact that the thing of the highest value to me was some new two stars says a lot.
It was also really fun to buy a Chronometer for 3000 Intel and then not have a Skill awakening gem (the one I wanted show up for the whole month)
I hope next month is better.

This event is total ****. Just like the rest of the game lately. It has caused most of our alliance to not care about the game , and step back. Most of our alliance has been together for over 3 years. And all loved the game until the last 3 months. It is killing an alliance that everyone used to love this game, Now it’s a total **** show . Are any other long term alliances seeing the same thing in their alliance lately?

I got the mutant AG I wanted using the chronometer, 4 t2a and 1200 6* shards so far. No complaints. Plus a bunch of fun new 2*s for the next quest or arena that limits champ rarity.

Timone147

Cant say I hated it because truth is it’s easy, not super time consuming, and gave me a 5* awakening gem plus a decent chunk of 6* and 5* rewards. Is it boring yes but I’m ok with boring versus annoying or frustrating from my side event(except real challenge quest content which I cannot fathom why seems it is completely cut at this point).

The rng rewards I always hate but so is this game these days. Rifts are an easy go to and have been reoccurring event for some time now.

I already can’t wait for next month when everyone is pissed because the randomizer side events with randomized champions and buffs is usually not a crowd pleaser. You can reroll(and the reroll function probably still has the bug that it resets when you leave and come back)but when you can’t even plan before dropping in is usually painful and gets a lot of flack(because truth is it sucks). Randomized rewards can be unfair but randomized level of challenge for the same rewards usually is more painful for everyone.

Realistically we are just playing side events slightly altered out of the same playbook for the most part from the last 2 years. I’m ok with that and would rather have the easy ones for the easy rewards versus the harder ones(especially since the rewards are Relatively about the same typically).

I haven’t got any sig stones so I can’t complain about it.

If I go by the rewards I got from the rifts, it was an average month. I decided not to go with the chronometer, as I already have the skill and mutant awakening gems for Aegon and Omega if KABAM's RNG ever decides to bless my account with those champs.

So far I've done 16 epic rifts and the rewards I've gotten:
1K 5* shards - 8
2K 5* shards - 2
T5B - 1
5* Featured crystal - 1 (Electro)
100 6* shards - 1
1K 6* shards - 2
T2A - 1

Now that I'm thinking of it I could have gone for Cosmic gem with chronometer for Cap Marvel but I don't have her either and who knows how long will it take to pull her too and it also meant less 2* crystals.
I love collecting 2* champs and this was a good event for that, so many new 2* champs and immediately ranked them all up and used on rifts too much fun.

Everyone is running after 5* and 6* champs and gems and here I'm having fun with new 2* Hyperion & Iceman and other unique ones.

Ditto

2* Hyperion is too much fun

I agree that Hate is too strong a word, but it was definitely a PITA to have to fight specific champs, get the pass, go into a quest to get the intel, wash-rinse-repeat to get enough intel to get a chronometer and then do the rift. Should've been fight specific champ, get intel and 2* crystal, fight rift, get rewards.

I repeatedly kept getting sig stones, eventually had to save up for chronometer which got me a skill AG that I used in awakening aegon.

well written...all of that for some bad rng rewards...& in my case...can't use my chronometer...because I didn't found the mutant AG, in 12 rifts...this is crazy
