First impressions: refine event
For those trying to defend the new refine event lets see how it holds up to the wish credit.
I use 200 medium refines (because im an unlucky sob) in order to upgrade my armor qnd sword to lvl 7:
Now, with this event i get 20 advanced refines and some cave keys.
With the wish event i get 35 or 45 wish credits (dont remember how much exactly) in order to upgrade from lvl 7 to lvl 8 my equipment.
At first view this event *s, BUT if i dont upgrade my tools from lvl 7 to lvl 8 during the week i loose the wish credits. On the other hand i get to keep the advanced refines.
Now let's imagine im a new player and i am still using low level refines. These refines do count for the event.
In summary:
This refine event is mostly aimed at newer players who have yet to upgrade their equipment to lvl 5+ as a way to get some advanced refine runes. It is also useful for more veteran players who have amassed several medium refines but are having truble to get advanced refine runes.
This event IS NOT for experienced players who already refined their equipment to lvl 6+, hence why the negative reaction since must of us in the forum have been playing the game for a while.
Don't hate this event guys, its the first time i have seen an event aimed at newer players in the 3 months i've been playing and its a nice change. Even if this event is less useful to me than wish credits.
9 tails strength
This event was only worth it last time if you used 700 coupons in order to get all the character plates in one go. Otherwise the value of the items was poor. Although we can't say it is a good or bad event without knowing the value of the redeemable items, it comes on the same week as lucky board.
There is no event which has better value for mixed items than lucky board.
Thus this event will probably be ignored by everyone since they both hand mixed items (seal scrolls, magatamas, cave keys) but lucky board is far superior value (unless they slashed the amount of points needed to exchange items by half compared to the last time). Mei is probably going to be there (12k coupons to get her....)
Charms rebate
New event for charms, no idea if it will be good without knowing the rewards.
No idea if this is the only type of charms rebate we are getting or if there will be wish credit in the future, does anybody know?
Slot machine
Not a heavy spender but on the couple of spins i have ever done the rng was decent. Good for p2w i suppose.
Total spending rebate
Those look like hokage packs. Does p2w players are still interested in hokage packs? well doesn't really concern me.
Lucky Board
Best event for f2p or moderate spenders. The changes to the board are nice, but please remove both the teleportation thing and sage Jiraya next time. I would much rather get coins than a teleportation thingy. As for sage Jiraya, you can replace it with any other decent ninja, hell why not a pain or Mabui or Ao? just no more Jiraya... I dare not hope to one day see Sage Naruto instead, that would be awesome.
Daily purchase limit
This always seemed to me as a bad deal, does anyone actually buy thos things? Just curious.
Activity lucky bag
Props to you guys, I see that we can now finally get seal scrolls instead of a single fragment from the activity lucky bag. Again a good event for f2p.
Group purchase
Never been a fan, but i suppose it is good since i always see people buying thigs from there.
All in all a decent week with lucky board. The 9 tails strength will be completely overlooked thoughm you could have replaced that with something else.
Also very happy for cave keys in home interface. I hope that lvl 8 wishing tree can get 2 keys per day!
