Introduction in spoiler (already mentioned many times):
Summary
I am aware that you Devs are holding this “permanent event mode” with the primary goal of keeping the numbers of active players constantly high. Hence you need to keep us playing as long as possible.
The event format itself is also overall player-friendly, whereas we can play however we like and still progress. Rewards are nice, too.
However, as many others already pointed out, the last major issue we have with this format is the mandatory daily commitment.
Reaching a daily quota, easy as it can be, on the long run feels like a duty rather than fun, and eventually causes burnout, even more so since we’re now starting the 3rd monthly event in a row.
To try and find a compromise between Devs’ and players’ goals, we could try keeping the current format almost the same, but tailored around 48h steps instead of 24h (War Thunder does so already, and that’s one of the few positive things about WT events).
Instead of scoring, say, 10k points every day, it would be 20k points within 2 days.
The total amount of required points would be the same, but with more flexibility.
PROS:
- More player-friendly. More flexibility in fitting game time among real life stuff.
- Less “empty” steps between main rewards.
- Less burnout (to some extent). An intense gaming session on day 1 can allow rest on day 2…
CONS
- …which is probably a con in Devs’ eyes, in terms of daily active players numbers.
- Higher cost in gold for missed steps. Can be negated if partial progress in a task reduces the price.
- Less secondary rewards (daily boxes). Can be negated if fewer boxes drop more orders, so the total is roughly the same.

devs arent even counting in event fatigue. ffs we have constant events in last 3-4 months without any breaks.

we also need oceanic servers when you grind an event and you’re lagging your ass off it’s quite miserable Oh I can’t forget I remember seeing someone talking about Asian servers too we need those as well so Asian players don’t suffer

Alternatively they need to stop with the daily once a day cap but instead make it 3 to 5 either a day or every 2 days.
The way they are doing events lately is burning the hell out of me like couldn’t even do troop rotations like irl because the game keep churning out events with daily once a day caps.

At this rate is going to feel like we are in penal battalions or worse like goddamn even Japanese mobile games have more flexibility where you can do everything on an event in one sitting or atleast a significant progress without any restrictions.

I wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion, why does DF try to let the game play out at such a pace?
Maybe they are a little bad at thinking about the feelings of their users…
I just want to say that the forum yelled for more events with profits. Cards, special weapons, squads and so on. It’s what they literally did after several complains.
they just need to find the right pace. yes more goodies is good, but not non stop events that require daily participation is bad. i like event rewards, but i just didnt participate in few events cause either no good reward, or stupid requirements or both.
making event with higher multi day goals would be better. get 70k score in a week and player could decide how and when he would do that event. he could finish this in one or two day when he has time, or he could grind it daily. getting 20 pistol kills daily is stupid mission, but getting 20 pistol kills in a month along other missions could be interesting.

Atleast remove the daily once a day limit like let the players do the event on their own pace within the event period with more freedom to pick which day to do the event and not missing out on the main rewards instead of forcing them to play everyday. Atleast some other events can be played every other day instead of everyday.

Personally, I really think we need an event break.
I appreciate all these events and the great stuff they gave, but we need a break now.
But on the other hand: no one forces me to play. Only my reptile FOMO brain makes me.
And they know that …
So it’s a gesture of love with semi-bad intentions, ngl. kek.
But as I said. It’s my choice to play. No one forces me.

The problem are not the event is the needs of make score each day, if the event let us complete task at our own time it would be better expecially for who can play only in the weekend

Agreed, but I’m afraid that will not be happening that often.
They want to pump their daily numbers and believe that sacrifice from the players match the value of the prizes (event squads).
I think the New Years event was perfect.
Would like them to more events with that regulations.

You’re not wrong.
Too bad this time the rewards are so good. The German paratroopers squad, in particular, totally looks like one we’d regret forever missing out.
