Once again, I'm not interested or will participate in ANY event that rewards buildings that (chose 1: decay, depreciate, deteriorate) in value or worth, especially 10 days after I earn it. Decay in original valuation in 10 days is an insult to the player community.

While there are some stalwart players that will play any event and say it's the greatest since the invention of sliced bread, I'm hearing and READING player disdain on this event, and this new design.

Unfortunately, the "building decay" idea is also in the Summer Event 2024, now in beta.

I personally would rather work UP in value and keep what I've earned, vs using the "decay" model.

How about I make my money or diamond cost deteriorate in your bank account 10 days after I pay for the privilege of playing the event?

Making current 2024 and future events take this route by making buildings that do this, is just one more galvanizing moment in the annals of this great game going

I've only played 32 tickets in the Event and have collected 9 Etherial Fountains so far. At this rate I'll end up with about 27 by the end of the event which is enough to get me through about 9 months of QI. What's the difference between collecting a permanent Event building (that becomes obsolete in under a year) and collecting almost a year's supply of limited buildings? I think none but ymmv.

Just waiting for the day that's soon coming when you essentially stop lifting your GBs and Inno extends the "decay" model to them, so that if you don't lift them in say, a month, they start to lose their levels...
Forced decaying valuation from earned items in the game is not where I want to be as the reason I play FoE. If I earn something or pay for something, I get to decide on when it's not of value.

Inno seems to be embarking (in pilot mode) with full on embracing the entropy model, where now more than ever, player energy and money have to continuously be applied to stay where you are.

I put up with it for certain things (Forgotten Temple, as an example), but when this starts to extend into multiple other types and styles of decay that become more overt than covert, I draw the line at that.


My mileage DOES vary, yes.

I just view it as another obstacle to overcome. If you're dissatisfied then c'est la vie.

Personally, I am not wasting my time!!! Just another wasted event. Just my opinion.

I hate pineapple on pizza. Just another wasted meal. Just my opinion. And about as relevant as yours without more context.
I'd love to see a true deck builder instead of the card game that we're currently stuck with. This particular event requires a minimal level of skill/knowledge which is certainly better than the events that are complete crap shoots, but not much. It's not terribly time intensive, particularly in comparison to the top/bottom half of the key/gem events or the st patty's day event so I don't mind it. Five to ten minutes every night at reset just isn't enough time for me to get upset about.
That said the prize structure in this event is pretty bad. The main building is mediocre, the daily prizes are mostly uninspiring, and the rewards from the easy deck (where you'll do about half your games) are pretty meaningless. The 10 day boost buildings for QI are probably the best thing here (and the process of turning QI into just another brainless clickfest begins...) and the 1x1 garrisons are worthless unless you have the lvl 4 bullion garrison, so the lack of up upgrade kits means I have a bunch of essentially worthless buildings in my inventory.
So in terms of gameplay, it's average to slightly below average but quick and easy enough to blow through and in terms of rewards it's well below average unless you're spending the diamonds to get into gold, in which case it's adequate.

And that is exactly Inno's attitude towards players, too. Especially F2P players. Don't like something new? Too bad. Don't want to do Discord? Too bad. C'est la vie. Ridiculous. Equally ridiculous is that you still feel you have to defend every single thing they do, regardless of whether it improves the game or not.

I don't defend "every single thing they do". "Defending" is not the same as "not complaining". For reasons that I have explained previously I choose to not complain. Through your lens, though, you can't tell the difference.

I agree, but you go way beyond "not complaining". Not complaining would be accomplished by simply not posting. You, however, post a rebuttal to practically every negative post about the game on every thread. That, by definition, is defending.

I'll consider not replying to posts that I do not agree with the moment that INNO expands the options, that are now only "reply" and "like",, to include "dislike" or better yet, enable attaching an emoji.

I've said it before, being too Pollyannaish does not turn something bad or marginal into something good. Nice to be a glass half full type but still only half full, lol.

The opinion of a player, or even a couple of players, does not make a game feature "bad' or "marginal" either.

That is exactly what you do but the other way around. 2-3 Polyannas does not make a crap or marginal change good either.

My takeaway from this thread: pay no attention to chronic complainers and pay no attention to anybody who likes anything. That certainly narrows it down.

This event is an absolute cash grab. 4 X the hard deck was unwinnable. This is buying EVERY card , carefully drawing to the exact right card everytime. I have the full Rival nego boost and spent on average 280 coins on health top ups. The rounds were unwinnable and a testiment to Inno's complete lack of ethics.
