the grind on this is outrageous. most people are not going to be able to do this with normal time constraints even in a month and the buy out still requires you to grind. that's not reasonable. if you buy something out let it just be bought out. you're going to lose players over this. this is a terrible event. standing around killing things over and over is freaking gold farming. all you're going to do is push people who otherwise would never consider botting into botting or convincing them that that other game over there is looking really good. this needs to be altered. let the buy out just be a buy out for goodness sakes.
TL:Dr.. MAKE THE BUY OUT AN HONEST BUY OUT. no grind.

@mullymoomoo#7130 that's not quite true. if the server completes it you have until the next phase to complete the grind. I think it's a month. that's still a thousand a day.(and no longer directed at mullymoo moo) what about the people who can't be on that much for whatever reason or just don't have the time to grind or the will to sit there going pew pew pew at the same demon for 8 hours a day.
Also, making the buyout a full buyout probably ins't the correct solution, imo. That still leaves everyone else who isn't going to dump $50 with a huge grind. Maybe they should consider cutting the amount of favors needed to unlock the stuff in half, or something.
Horrible grind. Needs more variety.
At that time, where i unlocked the event, the first milestone is most likely done. I don´t know if there is a "still ongoing phase", where ppl still can do the first milestone (except spending Zen).
So in short, I have now way to participate in that event since i do not meet the requirement yet, which is really sad. And like me, i guess alot ppl don´t meet the requirement to unlock the event for at least the first milestone. If they ain´t change that, i guess i will quit just like that. It is really casual-unfriendly, just like thefiresidecat wrote........
I think the main purpose of locking the race behind content is to get players to play the content without just whaling like you can with Dragonborn and Gith without even playing the game.
If you buy all of them, which let's be honest; many people will do solely for access to the race probably, then you have as long as you want to complete your personal milestones whether it be within the event time or days/weeks/months afterward. The citadel will disappear but the favor will still be obtainable for you until you finish your milestones.
The real problem is that on console by the time the event starts, 99% of people still won't be eligible for the event so it will be a few dozen people at most who get to participate and tbh, that's not okay.
The Event should definitely be delayed for console for another month or two.
But whats the point to pay for not play? This "event" is an excuse to give you something to do, like for example do dungeons that I didnt do for years, well that was a bit of fun.
the items are meh, so the only point is the race and maybe some items from the paid line, but if you pay, you have all the time you want to complete it so do it at your rithm.
I can agree with you that the grind is maybe too much for some players, I think we should have like the double of missions weekly (4800 favors instead of 2400) but well. They are trying to do something different to keep people engaged. I like this direction but need to be polished for the future. Thats why we give feedback.

basically whole "new m19 chapter" is just grinding exactly same monsters we already grind since n19 release sooo smile on and back to docks
darth : sooo grind 100 000s of monsters now or pay and grind them over longer time? thats loss/loss decision
*well ok you have to pay to get unobtainable bis companion gear from premium pool
basically they just added new limitation on campaign selling you unlock to make it normal
lets just hope its not becoming new standard
First two "checkpoints" should be achievable even for casual players (casual players are still on older content, so, there is no time to grind this for hours every day), third "cp" for semi, and 4th one for most dedicated players. With every reward/checkpoint people should be satisfied. It's not good when all eggs are in one basket. It's not good for game, not for player base.
