Agreed. I don’t see a problem with Salty’s statement. It was randomly chosen… before the event started. It’s not randomly chosen as someone progresses through the event. Nothing contradictory here.

The more locations, the easier for newer players. That’s all I can think of. If there was only 1 location, a new player could get stuck in a hard fight and not be able to progress more. If there’s many locations, anytime a hard fight shows up, the player could “skip” and pick a different location until the map only has too difficult to do fights.

For an event like this week, there’s effectively 4 skips. Once the map has 5 locations all with too difficult to do battles, the player is stuck. In other events where fights reset or there’s rounds, as long as a player can reach the reset before using all their skips, they can keep going.
