This is my situation at the moment:
I know that practically everyone, more or less, is in the same situation.
I understand that the Palooza event is the one that earns the most resources, so, in some way, you have to earn it. But, as it currently stands, it’s really frustrating as well as hugely time-consuming; having to spend hours fighting pointless and repetitive battles (not to mention difficult ones if you go into PvP) in search of that single gnome (which we all understand is set to be found more rarely than the ones we already have) is really a pain. Considering that there are other activities to do and that each Palooza takes another 15 intense minutes of repetitive battles, it gets even worse.
If all this was done with the idea of keeping users in the game as long as possible, well, the idea is simply wrong. The thought of having to repeat all this over and over again at some point only makes you want to quit and lose interest in the game.
That said, let’s take a look at some improvements that, in my opinion, could be made to this event.
1: Add the ability to forge verses. There are many resources that, the further you progress in the game, the less you use, ending up being accumulated and unused. I’m thinking of the millions of souls, thousands of ingots, and so on. Forging verses using some of these resources (avoiding diamonds, jewels, and other rare/really useful resources) would be the best and fastest way.
2: Add the option to exchange verses you have with missing ones directly from the soul forges. For example, if I have 35 verses 1, 0 verses 2, 18 verses 3 and 27 verses 4, give me the option to exchange a verse 1, 3, or 4 for a verse 2. It’s not as good as forging verses directly, but it would still be a big improvement.
3: Add the option to exchange verses with members of your guild. It works the same way as gifts for guildmates, but with different prices. Each gift/verse costs 10 gems. You can, of course, choose which verse to give as a gift. It’s certainly not better than the previous options, but it would still be something.
4: During the three-day gnome event, I think it would be best to only have the verse gnomes appear in battle. Other gnome types, such as the cursed gnome and so on, could appear during the 15-minute Palooza. In this case, however, if possible, an exception and some changes should be made for the dragonite gnome, since it’s a great source of dragonite during this event; when hunting for gnomes, it drops a significantly larger amount of dragonite than when found in Palooza, so it would be a good idea to ensure that the dragonite it drops during Palooza is equal to when found outside of Palooza. Furthermore, its stats should be brought up to par with the other gnomes, since its higher health level means it can’t be taken out immediately (at least not with the fastest team currently) on the first turn, wasting precious time during Paloozas.
5: When searching for verse gnomes, it would be best to make appear the gnomes you need first. For example, if I have more verses 1, 3, and 4, the next verse gnome to appear will be 2. If I have more verses 1, 2, and 4, the next verse gnome to appear will be 3. If I have more verses 1 and 4, and verses 2 and 3 are equal in number, the next gnome to appear will be a random one between 2 and 3. And so on.
I can’t think of anything else at the moment, but if you have any corrections, suggestions, other ideas, or disagree with something, please feel free to write it down.
