This is the first time in probably 3 years that I won’t be completing all the Side Event missions. It just feels SO tedious and I’m no longer interested in many of the resources. It’s especially poorly constructed given all the other missions we have to do with Summoner Summer (or whatever it’s called) and SoP.
I thought the Hercules Side Event was a grind but this… this is far worse in my opinion. For me, this has honestly been the worst side event ever. It’s lazy, it makes me do all the work trying to figure out the arbitrary mission I have to complete, and it just doesn’t feel rewarding or challenging to try and complete a quest on Heroic mode at this point in my gameplay.
Jubilee’s Arcade was poorly constructed but at least I felt a bit more direction in what to do in that event. I don’t know, maybe I’m just mad because I can’t pull the champs I want for years…
Thoughts?

Explore eq as you normally would but beat the new champs with 3 different class combos ( same as the dual crystals)
That alone is enough to get the large majority of the best rewards especially since you can pick and choose what you want from the store.
If you want extra snapshots participate in the arena and that also complete the sinister 6 solo event.
I'd much rather do this than most of the side quests we've gotten especially the repetitive snore that was last month
- Being forced to semi-explore every eq difficulty for the rewards. I haven't even bothered with any other than Cav and as the month drags on, I lose the will to do them.
- The grind for the creepies shards. Totally not worth it for a few measly shards. Only reason I'm bothering is to get snapshots and buy the t5cc. Once I do that, I'll pretend it doesn't exist.
- The objectives. I've never liked objectives in this game and when I heard this month would have one, I knew it was going to be long, uneccassarily complicated and mind-numbing boring. This month didn't disappoint.
I want the weekly side quests back.
Its tedious an boring. I don't mind the arena one but there's better rewards in other arenas so i am not going to waste my time.
Jubilee's arcade was the worst event this year IMO but this is definitely second.
I am all for no side quest occasionally, but these stupid objectives are annoying. Especially the ones where you have to fight punisher 2099 20 freaken times.
I'm fine with the rest...gonna skip some red thingies, I don't need all of em.
Only thing that takes some thought and more effort than normal is hitting the sinister six milestones. But even that is easy of you're bringing one Spidey into the arena.
Plus I found the bugle store rewards top notch. It's nice to pick and choose what I need as well needed it this month. Made rank ups and crystal openings easier and more enjoyable.
Overall I really liked this month's change of pace. I wouldn't want it like this every month, but once a quarter or every 6 months is a good idea.
I chose worst ever but really my thoughts are somewhere between it's not that bad and worst. not a fan of this month's side quest but we've had worst.
I also thought it leaned to heavy to arena play vs other items. Smashed out arenas is the least difficult but strangley much more rewarding than the EQs.
So all the juicy rewards can be gotten by just doing the arena, logging in and doing the objectives outside of the boss ones.
I have started to save up on t1cc and t2cc because I have all the worthy rewards I want already outside of the 5* awakening and t5cc. Only did the boss objectives for uncollected.
