First time playing SPD in the 4 or 5 years it's been a fan-favorite event here in FoE, that I went "the distance" in tasks, to almost the bitter end. Yup. did 37 of 38 of them. Would never attempt that without Rival's deliverables, forming the backbone of the lift to those extreme levels.
What a thrill that was.
Taking ship and fetival managers to level 5, @ level 300 and fireworks to 50 got the game engine to crank out 10.2Q (or so) shamrocks in 2 hours. I think it was 30Q in 8 hours.
Hats was spinning so fast, it was a blurrrrrrrr.
I didn't do the last 38th SPD task, which I think was to do 300 more level upgrades - probably would have taken a few years and a lot of money - LOL...
I didn't need to finish the last 2 Rival tasks (31 and 32).
What a blast to play at the edges of the game's "space and time".
This was actually fun to strategize on the integration of my event progress towards a goal, my preparation, my setup, my tactical steps, and the Rival rewards applied at the right times.
Really a lot of fun....
