I actually like the augments they added, for the most part (ahem, Isida Pulsar...).

However, I think they should have included 1 or 2 legacy Demonic skins alongside the augments - like Viking DC and Hammer DC, for example.

They should also lower the RP needed for the contract from 5K back to 3K.

So glad I grinded Silver contracts and got all the DC skins last year xD. I was so sure they will nerf this minigame this year given how relatively 'easy' it was to nolife it last year xD

Two first checkpoints are basically nothing. Excelsior is okay, but you will probs do just as good with Solenoid Cooling. Boxer Rico sounds like it might be a pain like the infamous Hammer augment of that same name, but we will see once its unlocked by some Youtuber or buyer. Genuinely, I have no idea why fifth checkpoint is  a thousand year old augment like Pulsar, and on top of that on Isida, because who even cares about that ravaged turret. Legendary key is an absolute hit or miss. If you havent  unlocked all the crap skins there, then good luck actually pulling out something decent looking.

And the final DC skin looks just okay and not to mention its on Isida, one of the most disliked turrets right now thanks to your updates. What a way to shoot yourself in a leg. Also where did all the old skins disappear? I wont even go into the 5k contracts. Last year, the 3k ones were pain, but more manageable to grind as an end game f2p, but have fun wasting your life on grinding 5 000 exp points.

Am I missing something with this mini game? Why are there so little rewards? 

Have you considered the fairly chunky drop in price itself?

 

Would you like to compare other events like these?

[soldierinduty 18]

W's (Ranked):

1. Reduced prizes (Fair price for silver contract and amazing for gold)
2. New skin (Expected for a year of waiting)
3. New augments (Expected)
4. New paint (Expected to be for 1st checkpoint)

L's (Ranked):

1. Absence of previous skins (Could be at least one more and specifically recent one)
2. Augments not related in any sense with DC skins (New augments could be introduced to another event like New Year's or Tankifund and Isida pulsar should have been a new augment at least for a 5th checkpoint or previous DC skin)
3. Prize of 6th checkpoint
4. Grenades (Should be more in quantity) 

I was going to grind but not worth it, even the augments will eventually be included to containers

Only thing disagree is price of silver contract. If they are going to 5K score for contract, price of silver should be 20K or 30K

Depends on what event you are comparing it with. Some other event from this year or last Trick or treat event? If we compare it with last years event:

Last year Rewards: Paint, 4 DC skins, 2 Legendary keys, Rare Shot effect, Module Slot, 30 Nuclear Energies, and 15 of each container

This year Rewards: Paint, 1 DC skins, 1 Legendary key, 3 augments, 10 Pumpkin and Tsar Grenades, and 15 of each container

Comparatibly, I believe last year there were more rewards with more focus on cosmetics while this year there is less rewards with more focus on augments (Excelsior and Boxer will likely be kind of a cancer as expected, Pulsar Isida probably wont be anything incredibly toxic). I am not surprised they changed the skins for augments in this year's installement as last year they leaned too much into cosmetics making all of the existing DCs available at the same time either from UCs, Elite pass or Minigame. I believe they were hesitant to repeat DC skins again in fear of disinteresting the buyer playerbase, given that a lot of endgame nolifers and buyes probably got all or majority of the existing skins last year.

Personally, I think they should have taken some middle road, making at least 1 or 2 old DC skins available in minigame, replacing others with something new to motivate buyers to spend like new cool shot effect and some new augments, and make the rest of old DCs available later in Day of the Dead and/ or Black Friday UCs.

As for whether this minigame is better or worse than last year's, the only thing that positively changed is the much cheaper Golden Contract going from 990 to 290, which is significant for sure, making it far more available for buyers and better for f2ps who somehow saved some rubies. However, we must also account for the fact that "Islands of fortune" or whatever they are called now, were only -1 last year while this year they are -2, possibly making progression harder and thus more expensive. And the contract progression itself has been significantly nerfed going from 3 000 to crazy 5 000 points. This also significantly lowers the ammount of contracts you can finish and puts a strain on your other ingame resources like supplies as well as your personal time. Also for pure f2p (just Silver contracts) nothing positive happened. The price is the same, but progression is slower and much more dependent on the islands of fortune coin drop.

The other factors like prizes for individual islands, ammount of islands of fortune and the total length of the minigame (103 jumps) seems to be the same as last year. All in all for f2p, its completely nerfed minigame. For buyers it depends whether that GC prize is worth all the negatives (5k exp contracts, -2 islands and questionable prizes for each lap)

You did mention costs back then and costs now.

The only main downside is the score requirement on contracts, but ruby costs from 990 to 290, speedups from 2000 to 1500. just to put it in simple maths, it's generally 60% cheaper, not saying 70 yet without seeing the -2 trigger effects.

So let's make it sound a bit worse, maybe 50% reduction in cost. So to lose a lot of pure cosmetic items and gain some augments, most want busted augs. Granted, these may or may not be busted. Along with the first time release of a measly just a turret skin again.

The main thing I need to know and confirm is, are the prizes from steps, same as last year. If they are, then this is still more than fine. Sure skin collecters get punched in the gut, have been for a while. Likely means they're holding them for black friday. But for the game to show Hunter DC on the wallpaper with Isida DC this seasonal event too is, well i'm not gonna complete that.

 

Also, one of the things, that a lotta 'buyers' fail to see is. Assuming they have the money, You always want to hit EVERY -1 (-2) step, because u get prizes for each step u make. More steps = more tile prizes. It's a weird and funny thing. 

This holds more truth even at lower ends for small spenders who are going for X checkpoint, since any moves you can't use to complete and reach a checkpoint, are rendered null.

This event has always been mainly for grinders with lots of crystals and small-large spenders. This trick or treat event is not made for f2p's.

 

Saw an image with 140 moves for completion.

140 epic keys, 262 commons, 150 pumpkin nades, 61 tsar and around 3k of each but mines/golds of supplies. On top of checkpoint prizes that is.

28 gold contracts, 8120 tk/rubies, now, tell me it isnt a great event for the grinders, cuz it deffo is.

 

Last years cost was around 25k ish for such grinders ofc with less rep points needed that time.

Well, I would agree with you that the first couple of instalments (those that had -5 rolls) were defo not for f2p. I think last years was made for endgame f2ps and those that saved millions of crystals very specifically for sales or events. So that was the charm of it for some like me. You did not have to spend 25k rubies or spend rubies/tankoins at all and go full crystal grind. Heck, they even gave a f2p event mode in CP Firebird/Wasp without supplies which made the grind even easier and saved your drugs for regular MM. You just had to run in the middle and got hundreds of points for free. I spend somewhere between 4.5-5 mill crystals on last Halloween, but got 6 skins, shot effect, and bunch of supplies, crystals and nades from the individual tiles.

Those end game players who saw the value got a godsend of event where they could use the otherwise pointless crystal banks on some of the best skins in the game. Its just that some people missed the value because the system changed from free progress locked to second or third checkpoint to contract system that gave possibility to go further but was conditioned by spending crystals/tankoins/your time on contracts. You are right though, if we consider the regular f2ps with very limited resources which make the majority of the playerbase, this event was never made for them and actually got worse with last years instalment.

I also agree with you when we look from the perspective of going just full Gold Contracts. If you are going completely 'buyer' mode this event got much cheaper, so if the prizes are good for you, its still a win despite the contract progression and -2s with the UCs, grenades, Excelsior and Boxer as the main prizes to set ones eyes on. I think a lot of buyers can actually call it a day on fourth checkpoint if they arent invested on the prizes on individual tiles after this checkpoint given that Isida Pulsar is an old augment, legendary key is useless for many buyers with all skins and new DC is for turret that many players stopped playing after recent updates.
