I don’t remember a whole lot of disappointment last year. There was a bug or something in one of the events, but for the most part things were pretty good. Second anniversary was the one that was worth being really disappointed in. Especially considering the terrible state the game was in for most of 2016, last anniversary really marked MPQs climb out of the dumpster fire it was in, and into a halfway reasonable state. That said, if the entire game was as free with resources as the anniversary was last year, I’d be way more invested in the game than I am. From a raw game design standpoint, the anniversary is one of the only times when the game actually feels fun and fair, instead of manipulative and cynical. ---

Boss Rush was last anniversary, so it was very “you’re supposed to lose,” also. They didn’t really address anything about it, and waited out the complaints until the next wave of grievances came from the following event. ---

I think we’re going to have an all new “you’re supposed to lose” boss event. There have been too many done in 24 hour boss events lately… ---

I only have about 60cp right now and gonna be hoarding it for a while. About 100k iso but I gotta champ my 2\* Storm in a few days and then the rest will go towards champing Iceman or Mordo next. So for hp I’m swimming in that. Rostering Thano5 in a few days but my hp hovers around 12k. ---

We’ve still got a few weeks to hoard stuff, glad they reminded me it was due as was going to spend my saved up points this week Dino covers would be nice and perhaps a new ultra rare character ---

It’s a hooray for me. As much as I don’t like some of the game mechanics, I still play every single day for more time than I do anything else leisure-related (unless you count television, which happens concurrently). Anniversaries are the times I consider splurging on a Stark. 30% more is not a bad bargain if you need the hp, and since I drew two missing 5\* back-to-back right before rostering Lockjaw, my coffers are bare. Depends on what’s in the vaults, though. If it’s for mediocre rewards, I’ll just conserve on shields in the offseason. ---

So if they make the anniversary fun, are reasonably generous with rewards and beatable events, and are able to make things run smoothly, most everyone will be happy… doesn’t seem like we’re asking for too much here. ---

Anniversary=Devil Dino. I’ve sold enough covers to have him champed at this point but now find myself somehow with him/her as my only non-rostered 4\* and an abundance of HP. Bring on the anniversary. ---

I’ve sold enough covers to have him champed at this point but now find myself somehow with him/her as my only non-rostered 4\* and an abundance of HP. Bring on the anniversary. When the last anniversary happened I champed her. At the time she was my highest level 4\* at 287. I was curious to see who would be my highest after a year went by and it’s currently Antman at 297. Devil Dino is currently joint 7th with XFW and Thor. ---

I’ll be very disappointed if there aren’t Double ISO events. I think the last time it happened was around Christmas, and I think it was just a flat doubling of everything for like a week. PvP, PvE, even the then-Intercepts. I feel like the 2000 ISO reward came around more often back then too, which became 4000 when it dropped during that week. It was grand. ---

Well, I have to admit that during the last two anniversary events, the hype was there but I was quite disappointed in the actual end results. ---

I’ve been disappointed since the first anniversary. Second year anniversary, more frustrating than fun, token pull rates sucked so bad D3 had to apply a fix. Third anniversary, Boss Rush was an absolute disaster. I’m hoping after two strikes, D3 will finally get it right again, but I’m not holding my breath.
