I have been very vocal on my opinions of this event. Problem is they are scattered around and I have been angry. Very, very angry. Which is the opposite of how I should feel when I play a game right?

Right, so lets start with the good. Yes there is good! Let us acknowledge kixeye put out videos on base layouts. Let us acknowledge we have 4 options instead of 3 from revelation. Let us agree the reintroduction of a past prize unit is cool and the idea of a beserker unit is nice as well. Looks like we reached the end of that.

Grab your note pad CM Swag. Cause I'm going to put my anger in a bottle just for you so you can bring it up in your meeting.

Lets start with the lack of any engaging story. This event in the war commander time line is bad guys are making new weapons. That is it. No character development. No nothing. It feels bland. Were are the factions or power plays?

Next onto Game play. Choice is important and so is the scale ability in difficulty. If you push out a base you must commit to it. You cant change it to make it harder. Just do better next time to make it balanced. If players crack a puzzle don't run to change it up. You are only allowed to reduce difficulty of bases else you just end up upsetting your players raising difficulty and missing the whole point of trying to see which combo of units can sweep a base. During this event the difficulty was raised and could be argued it was done maliciously based on some of the turret placements such as under your unit cards in the bottom left corner. Further more I read that players in the CC 6-7 range did not have the tech tier reflected in there own bases. I tend to be more defense focused to offset the offensive ease of cracking bases and I was shocked by the amount of high lvl turret bases and walls. Which brings me to my next point...

Prizes. In revelation, you nailed it perfectly. Unit variants that scale to base units in the game offering flexibility new strategies and game play without over flooding the critical cards, equipment, and turning the game into a farm fest and pvp prospered. It also helped because the units were smooth like butter and easy to control. Everyone loved them and wanted to get there hands on them. This opened alot of potential, like a game character with different move sets, and then in exodus. You did the exact opposite of that.

You bought varients of existing units. Tried to base them off real life design. Read some of our feedback and just did not do a great, good, or okay job.

You took variants of tanks and essentially made them something in between a new unit and a unit variant which we loved. They did not scale to lvl. In fact they need rare criticals that you cant even earn in the event, you must pay with money to betta test before anyone else and that is not even including the equipment. Despite being limited to one. Which we wanted to avoid so the power creep of bases and other units. Kinda like you did with the base defenses this event, but you know what?

That is not going to stop me from pointing out more errors with the units you pushed out. Because you ignored our no limited or unique unit wisdom. They are not armored enough infact id say they have 55% the health of the standard unit and the dps though nice it does more dps for second it does take down any of those walls fast enough. Not to help with this event and not giving you undeserved paycheck. Not that anyone would notice cause there are no mines during said event. Despite what these units in rl were built for. They do not remove mines. They are controlled by ai. Removing the skill of micro managing units and increase oil costs and kixeyes profit. Which is a shame could of been a valid moveset and reason to give the abrams or mk that ability. Thats if you kept the stats on health as they are now, and remove the limit on them. but if you choose to keep limit to one health needs a buff per lvl (NOT ANOTHER EQUIPMENT TO COMPENSATE).

I want to continue touching on how the equipment on rocket and cannon resistance is never touched upon. I guess I have to login a Reddit account an type a paragraph or two on how equipment works, the different types, and which units are impacted.

Returning of old prizes! I'm all for it, but could you be more generous and maybe provide the last prize schematic they didn't earn from the last event. That way we all get something new and useful. I would really love to have that styker, but now I have two schematics of humvee ifv? Do i make to humvee or the price of one now? No? Good and I hope you never add such a system to this game. Please fix it to earn something we can use.

Finally the last and the bad. T-14. Yes essentially the tier 4 tank following the mirkava you dicided to keep the tank tree stat growth which is good, but you didn't touch the resource costs. With 75 critical compared to 300 critical that is a 400% increase. What is more, we now have to wait for another event that I hope to god you will do right with pr and anounce coming out between the sniper and this prize pool trash.

Jesus. If i had to unlock the abrams schematic from an event found the stats were the same but the costs were 400% more and have to grind or pay overpriced component packs to earn. I'd think that this game was not just free to play. It was free to play at a fun great perfect pace until you pay us more and more and the pace gets dreadfully slow and you pay to stay relevant as we nickle and dime you while we destroy any means of life you cherish and hold dear.

Recapping all these prizes are bad. The difficulty curve for later tiers is overdone and does not help adding more attrition during the event when players dont have the tech. And the story is not interesting.

I'm looking forward to the next event when you guys release copters like the second coming of Christ. Where I hope to god some decent man with a soul realizes we make games not to push a margin but to have fun as well, artist, and masters of our crafts. Else Right-Thinker is packing his bags and I am gone with this game, forum,

Revelation was the event of your potential. Exodus was you telling the players to get out.
