Amazing Event Cryptic, Thanks! 9.3 out of 10

Respen's Marvelous Game was amazingly great.

It took me back to my 3rd Edition table-top gaming 3 day weekends which was a wonderful surprise! I have thousands of Master Maze pieces because I was the ;)Greatest ;)of all Dungeon Masters, for those who have never heard of Dwarven Forge...

The Rewards for the event were great. I earned my companions with 15 short successful runs each and Pocket Pets with 12. I only found a Pocket Pet randomly, I never found a Green Slime companion.

The "Call to Arms" events use a very low random luck percentage which sucks. I know this because I wasted a weekend doing the CtA and only got 1 Swashbuckler ALL WEEKEND!

It seems the Green Slime Companions were also randomly dropping in the last chest? Can anyone confirm this? I ask because there were players trading them in chat.

Anyway, I hope they change future CtA events to include bound companions as a purchasable reward while leaving the same bind on equip companion as a % RNG drop in loot, perhaps 1 in 35 odds?

My wife, friends and I had a great time. Please share your nostalgic stories with us, I'd like to hear them.

Thank you PWE / Cryptic, keep up the amazingly innovative work.

    Yes, they were dropping... I got three from the final chest (and four adorably adorable Adorable Pocket Pets), over about 125 runs. (The RNG was very kind to me this week... I even got an Eye of Lathander yesterday on just my 19th Adamantine gauntlet. :D)

    Th chest rewards seemed about normal when compared to the CTA events - I got 1 pocket pet from the end chest, and bought another one and a green slime using the crystal dice.

    I hope they keep Respens and add some fun new adventures. Best mini-event by far! Good job Cryptic!

    Best event to date.

    I got a Green Slime from the chest and bought an Adorable Pocket Pet with the crystal dices.

    Really like how every run is randomized somewhat and different enough to not be boring like the previous events.

    Hope future events are at least of this standard.

    Keep the randomisation and the ability to buy the rare drops so casual players won't feel alienated.

    Well done=)

    I liked how the level balancing worked - that hasn't really been mentioned much, but I think it deserves to be credited. Even when running about as a level 10ish character with level 60s, it seemed to balance out the damage done/received about as evenly as possible (obviously the 60s did a lot more, but it was still possible to contribute).

    The whole event was really nicely done.

    Yeah it was a fun event. I got 7 adorable pets and exactly 0 Jelly pets in about 100 runs. Was wondering if the Jelly was dropping at all but it seems it was....

    Agreed. I'd love to see it as some sort of permanent event you can access. It'd even be cool to see a module themed adventure with each new content update :)

    I liked it for the rewards, but for the event itself and its Thematic, I felt a little stupid.

    Btw, I think it is time to make a dungeon more focused on the roles of each class and make it difficult to complete, I'm bored doing the same dungeons over and over and over again (and where the only strategy it's to gather all the CW you can), I prefer a dungeon that really makes you feel you did an achievement only only for having it completed...
