Okay so I'm a day late but otsukaresama〜 for the Slayers Magna event! A bunch of things went wrong during the event leading to Cygames apologizing not once but multiple times and the Granblue part of Twitter is collectively Very Angry about it. Poor Slayers is suffering (well, was when I last checked yesterday) terribly for it, with the half of the player base that doesn't know Slayers tweeting things like "thanks to Granblue, I've come to hate Slayers" and the other half that loves Slayers tweeting what basically amounts to, "if you have to hate something please hate Cygames or HRT, Slayers has done nothing wrong!"
Complaints are summed up very succinctly in this tweet actually:
• drop rate was absolutely abysmal
• abysmally slow server times made what is already an extremely busy and rushed type of event even worse
• due to the nature of it being a guild war people who joined the game hoping to enjoy the event probably couldn't enjoy it fully
• the fact that you had to rely on chance to max the unknown weapons was a shitty move
• please never combine a collab with a guild war ever again
Okay it was less of a translation and more of a summary of the points in my own words but. Anyway! Let's trade war stories~
I've been a huge fan of Slayers since I was a kid so I tried especially hard for this event (despite not being that strong). I ended up with both achievement reward copies of the Sword of Light and Blast Sword before even one (and my only one) Sword of Light dropped for me on the fourth day. So despite dumping a crapton of my resources into this event, getting half-way through my 5th box, killing over 400 lesser demons, and getting nearly 50m points, I didn't manage to max either of the unknown weapons ahahaha but I saw someone on Twitter who had nearly 2 billion points and didn't get a single drop so u_u。
What about you guys?
(When GBF twitter posted the most recent apology on Twitter with a gift of items as an apology the sheer number of "really? An apology? Sword of Light/Blast Sword please!" replies was both sad and hilarious...)
