@vvalkk For some context, it would be useful to know a couple data points - 1. About how many hours per day, on average, do you spend gathering AC and MS ? 2. Do you use boosting items such as Energy Boosts, Red Bull, or Roasted Lamb ? 2a. If so, how many / how frequently ? 3. Have you purchased GB to facilitate any of this activity or other activity onsite (example: purchasing GB in order to purchase Energy Boosts) ? It sounds like you are someone who enjoys the difficult repetitive grind that the current event activity is, and that's fine. The concern (one of many) that myself and some others have, is being able to have an event where all players can experience some level of success with. With the old event, even a casual player could accrue enough currency to purchase two or three apps*, but right now it seems the only two routes for success here are endless grinding and battles with the poor RNG system, or pay-to-play. *Source: me being a casual player (1 hrs per day on average) and last year was able to afford 2x sunset markings and a sunrise markings app. 0 players like this post!

I’ve been trying really hard to figure out the “right” attacks for certain enemies. Some I think I have a pattern for, some I can’t figure out at all. I have over 1k stats and it just feels so sad and mindless to try to stay present with every battle and try to do the “right” (works 30% of the time) thing. Am I doing something wrong?! The art is beautiful. I love the decor. It’s just making me feel listless that I can’t get it right. Edited to add that the <<<<< stat boost thing also just bothers me a lot. If I’m that much stronger what is going on! And I know it must be a coding issue. I feel a little silly complaining so much. But we are all complaining because we love the game. And obviously, I’m going to keep playing it  0 players like this post! Like?Edited on 19/07/21 @ 01:12:03 by Hysteric | G2 Demiurge Felis (#223688) |

I was so excited for this event B( I can only defeat the Wyrm (charge/grab/pound), the rest just kick my ass 98% of the time. I probably won't be able to get any applicators.  Damn you, dev team 0 players like this post! Like? |

Wyverns are weak to the claw attack and the Dustling/Burstling enemies can flee if you roar at them. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Mirenoch 1. so i actually had saved up about 3200+ shards throughout the month, and saturday i spent about four solid hours using them during a road trip. 2. i normally would not use energy items; however, since im trying to finish the july quest in a timely manner i have. i’d say i’ve used 1 energy boost and 4-5, 8-hour items. although, haven’t use them all for the full 8 hours. typically i use maybe 4-5+ full energy bars per day. 3. definitely, i’ve used maybe 10-15gb for the july quest, which gave me benefits for the july event as well. it’s currently summer for me and i’m going back to work now after a vacation, so im unsure if i’ll be able to keep up my daily rate. im kind of torn with that matter, as i agree many are troubled with the battle system. i do think though it’s an halfway-decent balance. casual players can still receive select items, and the people that put their additional, available time and energy receive more. i don’t think the applicators and decor should be “handed out,” or their value would diminish if they were more easily attainable. 0 players like this post!

I am only on sporadically and struggle to participate in the events due to busy IRL. I gotta be honest and say i'll probably just skip this event next year :s the battles being almost entirely RNG means they don't stay fun past maybe the first day of most given events, as much as I otherwise adore the "explore" mechanic and this one feels incredibly punishing. Love the art though, I don't really mind the storyline either, but at the end of the day it feels like "click to roll dice to click to roll dice to click to roll dice, maybe after days of this you get a cool prize" lol 0 players like this post!

I am not trying to bring down the staff, but this event was a bit of a disappointment. As some other players in this thread said earlier, we shouldn't have to pay event currency, to get more event currency. I'm not sure about others but this feature really stresses me out, as I'm constantly worrying about whether or not I have enough meteor shards to explore, the celestial realm (explore) only to have a small chance of getting axion cores. Another thing is the event NCP's are a bit overpowered. There have been people with good stat, and/or high-level lions who also complain about this in chat. The art is amazing, yet the whole event itself seems like a gamble. I'm happy that the apps are cheaper but it doesn't help the fact that the currency is hard to get. I also feel as if players look forward to the event currency and being abe to spend that instead of sb/gb, which is why I personally dislike the Tefnuts Memories shop. And we can't forget our beloved NCP's, Tefnut, Menhut, and Apollyon, who are no longer with us. I know for a fact that majority of the players miss them dearly 0 players like this post! Like? |

I only did this event to get the Demiurge base. I've had almost 2000 shards saved up from last year, so it was not that bad for me to get to 100 axions. But it needed almost all my 2000 shards and that made me a bit tense. Since I've got the Demiurge, I haven't done anything event based, because there's nothing for my interest. I love the art, the dragons, the space theme, but there's really nothing new that interests me, or makes me want to get it from the shops. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Baridi ^^ I only got a few things from the shop, and I paid people to buy them for me because it's hard for me to get axions. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I had about 1700 meteorite shards saved from using SEVERAL red bulls and roasted lambs, then spent an hour or two in the celestial explore to get axion cores. I got around 150 Axion Cores. I am in no way bashing the event, but the difficulty and tedious-ness NPC battling, and the low drop rate is very frustrating. That being said, I do have hope for this event, and can't wait to see what is done with this event in the future! 0 players like this post! Like? |

I think one thing that makes the June event more enjoyable for me is that our deity of choice helps us in battle. On my main I typically choose Bast. I'm not sure exactly what the percentage is for her heal to activate each turn. But even though it's only 5HP, it's still enough to tip the scales even slightly in our favour. if the NPC battles this month are going to stay tuned the way they are, I feel like some kind of help like this would diminish frustration, at least for me. That 5HP isn't going to be enough to survive an entire boss NPC attack, but maybe with that little boost I get bitten for 20 damage instead of 25 and survive. There doesn't have to be an NPC aspect to it. We're floating through weird space dust. Maybe that last cloud we moved through gives us an aura that heals 5HP on occasion, or boosts our attacks by 3, the way Seth does. I just feel like the battling aspect needs SOMETHING. The May event can be battle heavy, but that's not the only available quest. The June event is very battle heavy, but we have our deities to help us. And even if changes are not made to the battling, maybe add other quests. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I've checked out the Lioden Wiki before this event happened, and I thought the storyline and everything else was super cool! It sounded great and was totally looking forward to it, and I was met with...well, this. I feel kind of sad because I joined around February-March and I never had a chance to experience the past event. The new event's art is amazing, but without the storyline or anything and because I get currency to get more currency(Meteorite Shards >>> Axion Cores)I don't get motivated to participate. The chances of winning battles in Celestial Explore are sort of unfair too. I only win battles around 30-40% of the time and I waste all my Meteorite Shards to simply lose a battle. The NPCs are way OPed, even after the staff tweaked it a bit. Maybe if the staff added something to make players more motivated to explore? I also noticed the similarity from this event to the Lunar Event on Wolvden. It sort of made me wonder if the staff did it on purpose or if they made a mistake. I also really don't understand the connection between lions in Africa and soaring through space to fight dragons...? I am looking forward to the new changes the staff said they'll make next year, but the event was sort of disappointing. Staff, thank you for your hard work! I don't mean to pull you down or offend you. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Part of me feels like this event was extremely rushed and not thought over very well. We went from having a fleshed out story (albeit the entire thing wasn't very savoury and I'm still a little ticked that this character introduced to us turned into a incestuous rapist but I digress) to something that was just tossed at us with the 'HEY LOOK, DRAGONS!' as its only appeal. I have NO idea what's going on in this event what-so-ever. The gems and crafting materials gathered are completely useless at the moment. The whole event doesn't fit into Lioden at all in my opinion and the secondary explore just feels like a recycled Wolvden concept considering the two things are pretty much the exact same. I dislike fighting NPCs with a burning passion and feel it's a waste of energy. The overabundance of NPCs to fight in the nebula explore is kinda irking. I love starry themes and the July decor but this isn't it. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Almost feel like the "I liked the art" shouldnt have even been an answer on the survey. Cool arts does not make it better. I have never disliked an event before.. .but I dont like this one still. Ive given it a chance. I literally just on to use the stone for the rewards. Thats it. 0 players like this post! Like? |

The fact they never touched on it beyond those tone deaf polls and avoided the crux of the issues has left a bad taste in my mouth. I've just accepted for the last week that it is what it is, and am painstakingly harvesting what AC I can before it's over, as the apps in this event are some of my favourites. I desperately hope they handle this sort of thing better in the future, but it's not the end of the world. Just a poor turnout. 0 players like this post! Like? |
