They really be putting cookies inside a locked glass jar in front of me and telling me I can only have 1 cookie a day. Nah like it's right there, looking all scrumptious, but I can't have it. (°~°)

As the Captain of the submarine I was assigned to once said… “you’ve been had” lol

The weird thing is, it’s not tied to the sq, you’re only supposed to spend gold, why would we have to wait for it???

Pretend it's your paycheck at the end of the month. You'll get it when you get it.

Also kids, stay away from paycheck cashing stores.

It’s not who likes it, but those whining players that complete all the content of the month in one week and complain about having nothing to do after on the forums

Locking the rewards isn't going to change that. They'll still complete the content in one week and wait for the rewards.. this is bs..

pingu_tucnacek

exactly, this is not like you have to wait a week to do it. you can finish it right now. You just have to wait to get the rewards. pathetic really

And how is locking the reward going to help on that, as far as this event goes, someone could finish it without even knowing, apart from that, the sq is already quite overblown as well

Normally I don't say much because I understand the point is to pace out the experience, but there seems to be a lot of timed aspects this month.

Ourobøros

Locking the rewards would “supposedly” hold the players from playing to they can get the rewards in due time after completing the content. Also why are y’all disagreeing with me, I didn’t made this up, Kabam started doing this months ago and a lot people know this 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey all,

The intention here (I think) was to do one event with time gated rewards instead of 4x 1-Week Events where you can only make progress towards that Milestone when that event is on. Here, you're making progress towards these rewards all month long, and no gold is wasted if you used it after already hitting the top milestone of the week.

I know these time gated rewards aren't particularly popular amongst the community, and I think it has to do with the fact that we've earned the reward now, but have to wait to get it, but it is just the same event, using a different method.

You will also see more of these in place of things like Calendars that give keys to quests in the future (which, I have to say that this is a significantly better method than a Calendar because if you start the event late or miss a day, you're not going to miss out on Rewards).

Team knows these time gated rewards aren’t popular with the community yet still implement them, what stage of being out of touch with your player base is this? 💀

The one where we know it's the better option, and that players will get used to it over time, but we can't get players used to it if we don't do more of these. Let's be honest, we're not great with accepting change here, even when it's objectively better for ourselves.

Regardless of the way we did this, 1 month long event with time gated rewards, or 4x 1-Week events, you'd be waiting the exact same amount of time for those rewards.

It's objectively a better system it just makes everyone feel bad that we can see the rewards that we've earned already right in front of us with a lock on it. Like a really delicious looking cake locked in a display case that you can't eat

Gamers aren't always the most patient demographic. Thanks for the explanation Miike.

Well I get you somehow gotta keep players logging in for the entire month and time gating rewards is one way.
Just gotta accept it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Last month’s one month structure in the Solo Events was better structured. Either do 4x 1-week events or give us currency each week to spend (like you did with the candy).

I’m more annoyed with the fact that they have zero creativity when it comes to SQ’s most months. Same copy-paste format 90% of the time (with some exceptions like the incursions quest ofc).

Players will not get use to it over time there is no cure for impatience what will happen is those players will start to filter out due to lack of interest

Say there are 40 cookies, they can either give 10 cookies every week. But nope, they show all 40 cookies and unlock 10 cookies every week. This makes Petyr want to break the cookie jar. I wonder what are benefits of this approach as they keep doing it.
Perhaps it's good to buy 4 packets of 10 cookies for the month rather than buying one each week. Less cookie maintenance from Kabam and Peryr knows what all to eat for month and waits with increased hunger.

Isn’t that the same with calendars though?

Logically, I know that this is correct and an objectively better system, but in a primal psychological sense me see rewards me have earned and me want now. It's a lot more tangible to see them behind a milestone I've completed compared to in a forum post telling me rewards for the various week long solo events, which makes it more frustrating.

Like, with the ropes I get it, because you want SQ to be weekly thing, but necropolis is coming in a week so we're not starved for auxiliary content. I feel like the gold solo event should have been a month long thing you could do in one day if you so desired.
