Hey D V I think your being a bit harsh here dude, it states in the description they are "Mini campaigns".. My personal opinion the time frame is good. So it might not be enough time for everyone to get it done, where is it written that everybody has to? And not that hard either 1 really good drop or 2 avg ones usually took care of it. I'm perfectly happy with these Mini event's if it meens they are more regular occurrence. I would also assume they could be precursors to bigger event's like Tukayid and the like. just my 2 cents.
Hi there. You're not the only person to read a bit more into my posts today than what I've been saying. I guess being a bit more fine-grained on my part would help.
Now, I was NOT saying it had to all be a 100%-ensured chance of completion. What I was saying is that there should be enough time to enable 100% of participants to
even have a mere chance at completion. I (
and many others) happened to be running into issues with not having a chance to even attempt certain Challenges on the Previous Event. That in a nutshell is why 24-Hour Time Limits are
too small, and why 48 Hours is an absolute needed Minimum Time Limit.
On top of this, not everyone is capable of completing a Challenge Set in less than 4 runs. You must have been really darn lucky in that regard. As I noted in the Previous Event (
and many others did), some of us were hitting 10 to 20 runs,
but still getting done out of having a chance to do a particular Challenge or two. I've even got an example of that from someone else on this very thread...

Most of the objectives were accomplished in a drop or two for most Kuritan participants, but the objectives (Victories, especially), took much longer, or were outright impossible, for Davion. Of 7 drops I had time to play during the Assault phase, I won only one single match, and not by capturing their base (so we didn't get that reward, which came with an MC prize, and was one of the few actually worth getting).
...and I was having the problem too, even though I was on the
opposing Kurita Side of the "Kurita vs. Davion" Event!
So, in addition to all that, I should note that I do agree with you on a couple things, albeit
with an exception... I would like more of these Mini-Events for Faction Warfare as well. And yes, it would be good to see some of them lead up to bigger things and awesome Mega-Events. Where I differ is that I think PGI should be more realistic about Time Provisions versus those Heavy Challenges, because a literal single day is too small for most folk... particularly some older ones I know.
Geewiz 27, thanks for the chance to really expand the discussion. (
Your post is getting a 'Like' for that!) I appreciate it, and I hope you have a better insight into my thoughts on the matter now. Maybe once PGI's Staff reads this, they'll understand why their sticking to 24-Hour Limits is rather unrealistic. Have a good day, okay?
