Carmine Blizzard 24-11-2021
New one stage exotic started for a sniper rifle, more will be posted once they fix it
Just open your packs to collect parts, that bit still works, and play Chapter 1 missions to keep the packs going.

Not sure about this weapon. So far it seems strong enough but its tiny magazine and very slow reload are disturbing.
Will have to finish the event to really evaluate its use. All Event weapons seem to be like that. Hoping to find a diamond in a barrel of broken glass.

Just seen the minimum requirement to win the weapon, 70% and that equates to a minimum of 14 upgrades and around 155 packs

Re: Carmine Blizzard 24-11-2021
And the next upgrade step, they're obviously working at getting spending going again.

Re: Carmine Blizzard 24-11-2021
I can see this one just being abandoned before it really gets started, this one is a real 'open all your saved packs then spend real cash to buy rubies to buy even more packs'.
If this is the future for exotic events then that's another part of the game killed off!
The grind/spend ratio to fun/reward is 100% the wrong way now, the fun element has been removed to be replaced by frustration and anger.

Re: Carmine Blizzard 24-11-2021
I doubt it, as there are still no StW and No Videos.
Looking back at the last time these quantities were needed I ran a 1 day Operator, not this time, sick of POS weapons that end up in the cupboard.

Re: Carmine Blizzard 24-11-2021
I've not seen the upgrade requirements to keep the weapon, but so far it's been one upgrade per chapter, so if it is to be 70% to win it they're going to have to step up the number of upgrades required per chapter.
With the ads being humped it's going to make getting enough parts more tricky and I'm not sure this one is worth even a single pack getting opened.

Re: Carmine Blizzard 24-11-2021
I tried one of the rationed video ads for Exotic event parts and got 3000 gold - what a waste since the videos are limited. I'll waste the videos elsewhere.
Notice that the random double-gold video in PVP is gone after using up the daily post-update ration. It appeared for me and I declined since gold is so plentiful nowadays. STW in the FREE section seems to be the most productive choice but then there is the 1.5 hour wait for it to show again.
This new video rationing thing seems to be fully intended rather than a bug. Don't know what the intent is or why it would be changed from what it was.

Re: Carmine Blizzard 24-11-2021
Well so far today;
6 rubies spins
1 StW
1 exotic StW
1 exotic 10 min speed ups second offered and then bombed
Short time later
3 exotic StW another offered then bombed
4 exotic 10 min speed ups (to activate these I need to play a PvP round before the option appears, been like that for a couple of years)
StW countdown running as normal
Each time it bombed I had to close the game and I waited for about 15 minutes before starting up again.
My own thoughts are that Gameloft continue to commit the cardinal sin of playing with production servers without knowing what they are doing, and this is the result of, yet again, untested (outside of the production environment) changes. This continues to show their complete lack of respect/concern for players, but that won't come as a surprise to anyone who has been around this game for a while.
They seem intent on making the game unplayable.

Re: Carmine Blizzard 24-11-2021
Back in game again and vids working again across the board, not counting now I'll just take the preferred ones as long as they are working.
More on the weapon, it drifts like mad when zooming in for headshots, you need to keep it moving and time your shot, it may get better but it's started off pretty bad, that with all the other issues with it are not making it a happy prospect.
Also chapters still only asking for 1 upgrade so far, was the 70% thing a pop-up as I've still not seen a thing about that?
