I don’t mind long events, really I don’t, I just hate it when any kind of event overlaps into my weekend. When I’m at work and I have some down time that’s when I usually play this game. It helps pass the time and it feels like im filling in the void during my shift. So monday through friday events are cool for me, but when a event spreads out into the weekend, I feel kind of cheated. I don’t want to fill like I need to get to my phone so I can work my day around trying to maximize points for events on the weekend when im suppose to be enjoying the weekend. running to my phone to make sure i spend a hour and a half grinding points every 8 to 16 hours isn’t my idea of spending my weekend relaxing or enjoying my days off. I say that because im now working a second job MPQ. No im not a top 10 ranker every event nor do I want to be as my main goal usually is just to get the 25 command points, ranks be damned. This Prodigal Son event is a perfect example of it though, i didn’t play during the weekend and now im most likely not going to make the 25 cp goal, despite having put in double sometimes triple time on the nodes during the week.
Would it be possible for D3 to schedule events more workweek oriented? I know the work week isn’t the same for everyone. Maybe they could come up with some kind of system that is similar to their time brackets. run duel events of the same type that cater to those with a monday through friday type deal and a 2nd that isn’t. At least when they want to run 5 or more day events, or maybe just make events either 2 day, with another being 3 day, and some being max 5 day. Running weekend 2 day events as well.
