Event Shop Challenges
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Event Shop ChallengesAlso have another idea as a way to get event points, it's a bit of a tangent. It'd make a ton of sense if participating in Event Distributions also rewarded you with some Event Points. I mean.. viewing Wondercards literally leads you to the Event Shop so some tie-in with that would be awesome so it's more like "Hey! You got some points from this distibution- now go check out the shop!!" That way you get people excited and let them see that they can actually take advantage of the shop one day with being active instead of seeing the shop as a "you have to be lucky or have a way of income to even use this.." which makes that certain part of the site obsolete to many. You'd have to workout the range of points rewarded for that but I say 20ep or more sounds small but also like a decent amount to grind for over time, as to not make them too easy to get, since Events seem to happen fairly often. It'd also likely get more people interested in participating in events they may not even be a fan of because of that added reward. I think the most wondercards I got in one single event was 7, so times that by 20 is still small, but an improvement compared to a total of 0 in months to a year without me opening any mystery boxes.
Or just an overhaul of the entire shop. The prices seem almost exorbitant, although it may be the main source of income to keep the site afloat along with premium, cuffs, etc.. it could still be that way, but also made more fair or worth it.
This is the math without taking the 'discounts' into consideration, so just at face value-
Event Pass costs are crazy high when there are so many mons with second and third evolutions on the site and constantly being added. Take a Common Pass for example- it's 30k EP. And say you wanted to hunt the entire line of Catercream. That's 3 mons in total.
3,000 nuggets = 30,000 EP
So you would have to spend 9,000 nuggets in total in order to get the full line if you wanted to hunt solely through event pass. That's more than Premium. 8k nuggets gets you a years worth of Premium, 11 retro starter vouchers, a mew voucher and an extra 2 months premium on top of those. While 9k nuggets used on a Pass can.. what..? help an unlucky chain go faster or surprise you with a quick hunt that feels like a devastating loss. (yes i'm being melodramatic lol) But I don't believe the shinies of these events even come close to how much you spend to get it if you did go that route. So this may just be me having a blind eye bc it seems more wasteful than cruddy mobile games in retrospect, but I don't think many would go out of their way to spend any actual money on that.
A rebalance is a much needed and welcome thing- so many things have gotten improvements over the years, it'd be amazing to see one on this in the future. The Event Pass prices. The Nuggets to Event Pass conversion rate. The amount of points needed to just buy a single egg of an event in the shop: Highest is Special/Legendary. 6,500 EP = 650 nuggets = roughly 1.2m PD at the going rate of 1,900 per nugget.. which, to say the least, is absolutely no where near the worth of those mons
The last time I spent money on this site was when I was a dumb teen :-[ I'd like to throw more money at it in support, more specifically I'd like to take advantage of the Event Shop but it's just not feasible with the current imbalance going on with it.
***Bonus Suggestion: Maybe introduce an Event Flute in favor of scrapping event passes or just added support for event hunt?
