@Brigby is this right? How long is RotGP running? Until Wednesday evening? That’s so FUCKED!

3

@Brigby and @Oktagon_Daiane can I ask why RotGP is running for 5 days? And why it is a coalition event if its doing so?
Cruel and Unusual punishment is illegal in the United States, and this definitely qualifies. DO NOT DO THIS

If you want to run it, that’s fine, but keep it in the 2-3 day range (preferably 2 for this one). Not 5. Never 5.

4

I suposse the boss health will be over before that date, but it’s quite long indeed for a coallition event :S

5

@GrizzoMtGPQ @Mburn7 @Coilbox

Return of the God-Pharaoh has always run for 5 days, however more often than not, players are able to defeat the boss seemingly by Monday at the latest.

It’s only set that long on the off chance that the boss hasn’t been defeated, and players needed more time to defeat it or reach max progression.

6

We’ll make sure he dies quick :smiley:

7

@Brigby the health was increased. Can you explain that? Were there really lots of players running into issues with hitting progression with the lower HP.

8

The 3,500,000 boss health for this run is the same as the last run back in March. It was set to 3,000,000 back in February, however if I recall correctly, players claimed they defeated the Boss too quickly, causing some players to be unable to reach max progression; you are correct to reference that concern.

9

I wish it would run like BoFT does – with life so high that we know when it’s ending.

10

Woops. Forgot to add the Coalition tag to it. My apologies for the confusion.

11

Thanks for the clarification :smile:

12

The available PWs you link to are still last weeks.

Will Bolas appear soon so he can purchased and levelled somewhat before HoD for those who havent got him yet?

13

Ah good catch! We have it updated on our new FAQ page, but it seems that link still connects to the old one. I’ve gone ahead and corrected that.

14

Just a question … Why HOD and RoTGP? It looks like the worst choice that could be made…

We had 6 months of theses events, I’m personally sick of them (in particular rotgp)… I guess most players are too. ..
Besides, do we really need more HOU boosters full of dupes while we still crave for RIX boosters and new cards?

Not to mention the new BOFT has only been scheduled 3 times … While its the ONLY way to collect RIX boosters from events.

In two months, most players only received 10 RIX boosters from events (13 if we consider coalition reward). Crystals income have been drastically lowered because of the event shortage thus making packs harder to collect.
We know dominaria is coming soon but we now have deal with 2 weeks of HOU events that will give us nothing but dupes?

I hate to say that … And my words might sound a bit heavy … But i i honestly feel insulted as a player when i see a big cake on the table and i see they are giving us crumbs over and over again.
It’s even more painful as i’ve got the feeling this is getting worse weeks after weeks regardless of the general frustration of players and the massive feedback about it.

15

While we only had HOU we repeated HOU rewards for months.

Now that we have Ixalan and Rivals, why do you again take us HOU rewards? Just to spend the crystals on IXLN, RIX before Dominaria release?

My coalition members are tired of repeating rewards, they are playing less and less.

16

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the boss health, though? Not saying you’re wrong, but if they’re going to do that they might as well just get rid of the boss thing entirely

17

I think that was kind of the point.

18

Edit: I think boss health should be eliminated as a concept — but there are more important things to do now so increasing life to the point we have a definite end time is a great quick fix.

19

Back in the day when RGP was run every week I was also sick of it, but now I really enjoy playing it. Even though B4T has only been scheduled three times, I’m already sick of that event. Not that I dislike it, it’s way too time consuming. Five nodes AND two charges from the start. Not to mention that it also runs on Monday and a lot of players from my coalition can’t or don’t want to risk playing while at work. I already fear the iterations of this event without cycling. I think the B4T nodes are very flavorful and well thought out, but that gets shadowed by afore mentioned reasons.

20

I see your point, but when i only have a single standard event per week, i prefer a fun and useful event that might last longer than a boring, overplayed and poorly rewarding event.
The HOU boosters among rewards are also someting that concerns me because they are so irrelevant in the middle of the RIX scarcity and just before releasing dominaria.
BOFT is time consuming but hitting 750 points instead of 650 isnt that much of a problem. The hard part is playing after hitting progression. But that happens with ROTGP too. Thats just a personal point of view though.
