With a 90% probability of landing on the same node in the side quest, and no offers or ability to select targeted routes, after 5 or 10 times it's just frustrating. Soley relying on luck or chance is not enough. I would've been great to have had at least 3 or 4 opportunities for route selection throughout the event.

The problem is that for them to give you multiple guaranteed choices, the best prize that you could get would have to be tuned down significantly. The very thing that makes these rifts “more boring” makes it possible for them to be that much more exciting when you actually do get the rare drops. Kinda how rarity in crystals and RNG works.
If it helps, when you hit the candy again, just picture the rewards you want most that you can select in the store using the candy and maybe that will help with the illusory excitement.
But the sheer hopelessness. Not exciting.
I wonder what it would have been like if some of the prizes on the paths were selectors—sort of like a prize nexus, with three random rolls of Candy, gold, cats, whatever. I think that might have aggravated players, but it also may have made the SQ feel less drudge. Don’t know, but that’s my best guess re: what feels off.

It must be more around 5 or 6
I go back to a theme I’ve emphasized in the past: autonomy. Having the ability to exert some control over results can lead to more satisfaction. The team has honestly done a very good job of this in a number of areas over the past couple of years—perhaps that’s why this SQ feels so off.

Still, this is really one of the worst designed quests. And I see no reason they shouldn't have allowed a selector for the AG or whatever the top prize is for people. They've gifted much more so the whole "economy" of the game is really just smoke and mirrors especially considering the rosters of people these days. Awakening one champ is not going to destroy the meta.
my candy store going to be empty before the event is over at this point
Edit: i totally got rekt with a tigra on that node, she is continuously using heavy and i am in corner. Sadly quit the quest🥲🥲
And you couldn't have popped a revive or two for the sake of 10k shards? Surely worth the unit spend. If a 6* crystal went up on store for 500 units you'd bite Kabams hand off. Mental
