I tried the event many years ago.
Still feel traumatised by the sheer boredom and feeling of too low reward for a too high effort.
The best about this event is the offer to buy Spaceball Pirate and 2K20 drone.
The new drone was first posted with 7,5% damage and 7,5% attack range.
The big problem is that the division drone was before drone update with 10% range not useful as a passive stat bonus.
In my drone hangar the Spaceball drone with 7,5% damage and 7,5% armor is barely in use, because I prefer the singles (armor and damage drone) with 15%.
So both passive stat bonus seem to be very unattractive to me, because I would always choose the old division drone over this new A131 Dualstrike Drone.
I was hoping to see a new useful drone stat like increased healing + cooldown reduction or hit chance + critical hit chance.
Also adding a new drone to the game for healing only as a stat, which would be regulary collectable in Gemini.
When the Spaceball Drone (Pirate) was first time available, I thought the bonus hit chance with 5% was too low and not viable, but I bought it because I believed in some future drone updates for the hit chance in general of the Pumpkin Drone aswell (which happened).
The issue with this new drone is that no matter how the bonus % is getting fixed, I would always choose for bonus % damage the A112 Damage Drone and for bonus % attack range the AR1 Division Drone.
The design goal is now to have on single drones the bigger stat bonus than on dual bonus drones.
This means:
- if Division drone gets buffed to 20% then the Dualstrike Drone's attack range bonus would only be 10% (old bad value). So I would still pick the Division Drone which would be even kinda OP at this stat.
- same would be for the damage bonus
I would only play this event if it had a cryonite bonus (and maybe Gravitons, they are round aswell) for each event progress, which would be based on the players level.
As a level 99 Player I would only consider leaving 5th ring or Erebos if each hour of playing the event would generate around 700-800K cryonite or 500K + 2 Gravitons.
