Carmine Blizzard / Single Stage / 11/14/24

Post by GWD »

Single stage event with a potentially useless weapon. Problems already:

The weapon's affinity to "snap to nearby targets" doesn't seem to work.

The weapon upgrade costs seem a bit high. Might be wrong about that since three stage events have such a low upgrade cost to begin the event. Could be just used to that. I'm going to wait to upgrade for a few days.

Not a great deal about this one is there, the scope does work but you need to be close to the target and it's slow, but it does seem to zoom for a headshot, tried with crystal armour and bombs away head.

Your right about the upgrade requirements, like you I'll be waiting.

After 1 upgrade the snap feature seems to work better now.

Perhaps that is the solution...sounds like it.

I'm going to wait until Monday to do any upgrades but I suspect the upgrade costs are going to stay where they are. This is one of those events where only a 50% upgrade is required to finish so the higher costs make (some) sense.

Well, I have done 4 upgrades and the snap feature is a bit of a waste of time. If the target is outside the Cross Hairs it won't move, and if inside it is a slow move. If you are on Zoom you have to be near 'On Target' to get it to do a gentle move to the target. All in All a bit of a dud.

Well finished enough upgrades to finish and not really any use, low end bases maybe but barely touches a higher end one.

That certainly has been a recurring theme with the weapons in all the events that I play. Just from the PVP opponents attacking my base, it seems that Defroster is the weapon of choice for many. That weapon may have come out around last Christmas.

As we know it's all just money grabbing, not much left of the game worth playing.
