Proposal: Bring back previous Crystal and Mirror rewards.

Here is a stupid thought I had recently:

How would it be if whenever a new Crystal Cataclysm or Mirror Hell event is running you could not only work on getting a new shiny but in addition have access to previous special rewards you might have missed or your dog ate.

Don't have Mirror Hakeev? When mirror hell comes back spend ONE multidimensional transporter device to claim him. For obvious reasons this should only work once during the event runtime and you should only get the doff and nothing else out of the project.

    Not bringing back rewards means that they remain special and are explicitely also rewarding long time players that were around at the time.

    So I see a good reason why they shouldn't be brought back.

    My proposal would be to bring back the reward as long as you have acquired it once previously. This way you could get it on new characters but new players would not be able to acquire it.

    Yes, they should definitely repeat the rewards at some point. If for no other reason then because not having to create a new unique reward every time would allow them to run more events. I wouldn't want to see them cheapen the event by gviing the rewards away for 1 item though. At least, not without doing a full project first.

    There's no good reason players should be "rewarded" (if you think withholding useful items from other players is a reward, I certainly don't) for having played the game sometime in the past. Especially at the expense of rewarding the players for playing it now.

    It's Cryptic... Recycling? It's what they do.

    I think on the mirror event, for example, a compromise would be: Allow people to slot previous years' reward projects, but the FULL project. If they have leftover from last year and just need 1 more? Then they can finish that project and get the new one as well. -- This would reward the mindless grind that Cryptic wants to promote lately. You can't do both unless you've already done your grinding homework from last time, so it's not as if there is a free giveaway or anything. It's been earned.

    Sounds like a fair plan. I’m just glad I have the Zefram shoty on all 8 chars, I love it.
