    I like it. Would be even more awesome with an epic version of it.

    Rewards are nice too.

    I also think this has been the best event ever.

    Over two evenings, I was able to obtain enough dice to buy a pocket pet and a slime, though I got a BoE pocket pet in the chest of the last run I needed to do. I know it's still on for another day, but limited time and all. I had a blast with it.

    I noticed that the boss drop consumable was always Dew. I don't know if that was supposed to be randomized.

    Those that fix bugs are not the same as those that create new content. Keep saying that to yourself and maybe it will sink in - Also, as a business, they cannot stop developing new content, so that option is right out. Lastly, keep in mind that squashing a bug may not be as easy as you think it is - for all we know the process of addressing said issues is already underway, and it's simply a matter of tracking down the root cause in order to fix it, which can be time consuming.
    ^^^very condescending, and mostly incorrect
    The managers that hire or assign budgets for "those that fix bugs" are usually the same as the managers that hire or assign budgets for "those that create new content", so your statement is moot.
    As for debugging, it is not as hard as you think, as it has been something I have been doing for a living since the 1970s. But yes, it is not something a **** can usually do.
    As for new content, THAT is correct, especially in the f2p market.

    edit: back on topic...
    SO many people drinking the Koolaid. It is not a 10 out of 10, that 99% of you are implying. Maybe a 6 ut of 10. I have to assume that you are accustomed to content ranking a 2 out of 10, to see this as perfect.

    One of my measures for tv/movies is "would I want to see it again soon? how soon?" Similarly for games, "will I continue to run this event, once I have both the Green Slime and Pocket Pet?" No.

    All of my characters had a wonderful time playing Respen's game, with one exception.

    My HR joined a game in progress and could not find either the Mithral or Adamantine keys, nor could anyone else. He left after 15 min of looking and realized hours later that one or more of the early players had the keys, left and took the keys with them. I consider that a minor glitch.

    Why isn't the event over yet? Timer ran out hours ago.

    Timer setup error.
    Not sure when it really expires (info buried in some forum post somewhere), as i have my desired rewards, and no longer feel the need to endure the video lag.

    Liked a lot, (the table top forest map was the best) a little glitchy though. Would've like a Guardian pet, like a paladin, draw threat and heal. Way better than that Ghost Fighter.

    The event is adorable. I wish it would last through the weekend since school/work/family emergencies kept me away until now, but I'm having fun while I can. It's a cute idea.

    The event was graphically gorgeous and clever :) The dice value for the pet and slime were very reasonable.
    As always with the Events or CTAs , I find it edifying to see how well equipped 60s melt the opposition.
    As a side bar , I'd like to thank the multiple Level 60s who not only didn't kick my low level HR and GWF but had the courtesy to say "GG" at the end.

    I loved it. Though I really feel sorry for people who only have time to play
    on the weekends. Was able to drag my brother on during a work night and
    he's really glad he didn't miss it! :)
    Did you really think anyone could steal the power of the god of thieves?

    I greatly enjoyed this event and the rewards pricing was really reasonable. And the addition of God's challenge was a good idea too!
    Some bugs spotted for possible future reference:
    - if someone dcs or leaves the squad and the squad haven't passed behind the first door yet, the filler player is put behind this door, making the rest of the team unable to enter.
    - God's challenge sometimes gives no task.
    - Sometimes doors inside get bugged (no "glow" around them) and cannot be opened at all.
