Just a quick vent about this month.

Everyone's raving about how great the acorn event was. I thought it was terrible. Master level gave paltry rewards, Epic was way to tough as I don't have a roster of 5/65 champs. I know I'm in the minority but I thought it stunk. Just my opinion though. If you liked it that's cool, I just had to vent, now I feel better, hehe.

2. Uncollected players - who were the only ones who could spend one million acorns and thus the only ones who could even realistically benefit from doing the Epic difficulty side quest - didn't actually need to complete the Epic side quest to reach one million acorns. It was possible to reach one million doing only the first six fights, and sometimes less, in the Epic side quest and it was also possible to reach one million doing nothing but the Master level side quest. I did the calculations when the event first launched here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/177360/epic-side-quest-too-difficult-you-dont-need-to-do-it-to-reach-one-million and others repeated variations of that idea throughout the month.
And because the fights escalated in strength as they went along, it was a great way to test your strength, instead of just mindlessly getting thru your normal level of quest.
But I am gonna defend this particular event, because it wasn't like that.
On any given day, I was taking characters like Annihilus and Kingpin in there for Epic, at basically the 4/55 level.
I am not saying that Epic was easy. It was challenging for those later fights.
But you didn't need 5/65s to do a lot of it. Because I was doing it with characters who weren't at that level on my roster.
I am not someone who tells people to "git gud" -- that doesn't help anyone.
But this month was as much about roster management and depth, understanding nodes and skill, as it was sheer roster power
It's almost 1/2 to objective.
That's what I did. I did one shot at epic, and, since I'm kinda lazy, did master the rest of the event.
I personally did 5-6 fights with my team of 5/50s and 4/40s and then quit. It was a really good event imo
The fact you kept the rewards from the fights you completed made this event work really well, for me; and the overall rewards from the Acorn store and the milestones (5* Mystic AG for either Dr Doom or Dr Voodoo) were really good for someone at my level; which is comfortably Uncollected, but not Cavalier. I say nice work, Kabam!
1. No Energy Cost
2. 2 million acorns available total, only 1 million needed to spend
3. That I can remember there hasn't been a single event like this where you could choose exactly how you wanted to get to the goal. Normally events are so narrowly created that there is only 1 way to get everything you need to complete the event.
4. I am not the most skilled at this game and I was able to get 5 to 7 fights on Epic without using tons of resources. I used some health boosts because I had overflow, but that was about it.
While this might not have been the event for everyone, and like others have said if someone is really struggling with the content they may not be ready for that level of it, I do not recall an event that was ever as balanced and obtainable in my time playing this game. I am very grateful for this event and hope for more like it.
