why are we going from 2k points to 5.6k points? didn't he say it's lower? isn't it therfore supposed to be less than 5k points instead? like 3k ~ 4k back then when such an event has happened. no wonder greedy people are selling them for 600k+ PD! so that next time can be 5.5k ~ 6.5k points? it's killing my motivation ngl.
I'm currently on a painful shiny hunt (no nuggets to freeze) and thought I could get all paldean Pokémon with the new cool update Riako has high praised so much. "This curve had been very steep in the past [...] the curve has been relaxed a bit". but when i collected my first egg, it jumped up all the way to 5.6k points. the gap from 2k to 5.6k is too much. is the third one 7k or 8k?
are you telling me, that all future event distrubtion second eggs are going to be 6k eggs or locked into 5.6 from now on? if so, then it would be like a dystopian future. killing everyone's fun and joy. do you really want that to happen?

Update: I apologize for overreacting. I was spooked by the sudden jump from 2k points to 5.6k points (which is 3.6k more). Yes, it's less than previous events. But not how I used to remember them. I used to remember them with the second egg having an equal or 2.1 ~ 2.3k AP different (which would showcase as 4.1k or 4.3k).
As razpberry has proven: the fith egg is really 3.8 times higher aka at 7.6k AP more. Riako did not lie. I guess my main dissastification came from how the last few event distributions had such high goal. Thankfully, this one has lower goals.

no, I will still not break my chain extra to bend for those new pokemon.

First egg requires u 2k AP.
Second egg requires u 3.6k AP (5.6k was displayed cause the 2k AP u got from the first egg was counted).
Third egg requires u 4.8k AP (10.4k AP is displayed since the 5.6k previous AP was counted).

So, theres no really a problem here.

so you're telling me few years ago with a similar event like that were 2k, 2.5k (4.5k was displayed) and 2.5 (7 was displayed)? so that we could get them all easily.
of course i might be wrong, but i remember it being less than what i am seeing right now.

I get it, I get it, overall, the EP curve is less steep, so we've been told and this DOES reward power clickers.

But the power clickers aren't the ones with little motivation. It's the people who can only click so much per day due to whatever reason, be it real life or distance from servers meaning only 1 in every 3 clicks counts or even simple boredom at clicking.

In the past, assuming the event was one with only a 2k EP cost for the first egg, the second egg was the same, effectively doubling what you need for 2 eggs to 4k in total. Now it' s 5,600 EP and that is a HUGE jump. VERY disheartening after being told the curve is gentler.

The 3rd egg would have been about half the amount again on top of that. So what... from memory, that would make the 3rd egg cost 3k or thereabouts and it would increase exponentially beyond that.

Yeah, I get that there's a cost to gentling that overall curve but honestly, the people with less motivation to click in the first place are the ones being punished. Not the power clickers.

@skrelp-
Those few years ago, whenever u get an egg from event distribution, the AP counter (edit: may) have reset to zero.
However, by this time, for some reason, it didn't and continued including ur previous progress.

Oh and it's showed the total to reach for the next egg as it does now ever since the previous EP curve revamp. 4,521/5,600 for eg. That in and of itself hasn't changed.

Hm. I see.
It's just. We're on a page with many minors and they have school. so it's obvious they should focus on real life rather on doing hourly task. i have to focus on rl too. so seing that high jump honestly scared me.

And say lets assume that the second egg should be at 3k or at 4k, then since the previous 2k AP uve done had been counted, u only need 1k or 2k AP to get ur second egg, which is lower or equal to the previous AP u got on ur first egg.

QuoteThose few years ago, whenever u get an egg from event distribution, the AP counter reset to zero.

i don't remember ever seeing that in my time here (2.5 years), but i do remember seeing e.g. 4k AP for the second mon if there's multiple being distributed at the same time (aka needing 2k for the second mon, as the first 2k already counted)
so it did actually increase (at least for the first few we can see so far)

@charizard- yeh, maybe. tbh, i dont really remember if the counter resets to zero (as i dont really paying attention to it).
But, the fact still remains that the slope or gradient of the curve is much gentler now. From 2k to 3.6k to 4.8k. At this rate, the fourth egg should be at around 6k+ and the the fifth should be at 7.6k (as stated in the post).

And we can't really expect that u need to have an egg at every 2k AP as this indicates that potentially every day, u can get eight eggs or more from this event, which can be concerning since it has a higher chance of being shiny.

not every egg, but from what i remember, the first however many options were there eggs were all 2k or slightly above
so you'd have an equal chance at getting them all
and then it increased much more for subsequent eggs

e.g. if there were two different event mons you could get, the first two eggs were roughly 2k-3k, and then it increased
if there were three different ones like now, the first three eggs were roughly 2k-3k, and then it increased
and iirc the first egg was already higher if there was only one mon to get (4k?)

that's just the pattern i remember tho

i guess it has to do with the higher shiny chance that it increases earlier? so we don't just keep adopting the same one for a shiny? idk

so i wasn't insane after all. ~~or the mandela effect~~ i remembered the AP to have a smaller gap - just like how Char described it. but suddenly since a few months it spiked and only today it became less crazy like razpberry is saying it.
...
.
I apologizing to Riako for calling him a liar, as he still has lessened the AP. However, i'm still disappointed in the spike that raised up and him thinking nobody noticed even tho many have complained. Please remember that the site is used by people who don't have a lot of free time and need to concentrate on studying for their exams and general student life.
Then there are people who have to go to work and might be too exhausted to do hourly tasks. I hope the new implement is permanent.

@charizard- i think i got ur point. but then, they will be rereleased again in the future and will most likely be breedable. so getting them all will still be doable. u just need a species from each evolutionary line. its not as if they are the only pkmn needed to complete the paldea region.

@others-

QuoteBut, the fact still remains that the slope or gradient of the curve is much gentler now. From 2k to 3.6k to 4.8k. At this rate, the fourth egg should be at around 6k+ and the the fifth should be at 7.6k (as stated in the post).

but then, the fifth will be likely at 7.6k AP, which is indeed 3.8 times the first egg. so riako didn't actually lie or scam ppl or whatever. <--- Edit: clear now while typing this post. XD

@drakonia - i gotten to a point of 100k AP on the fifth or sixth egg. But then again, their initial requirement was higher than 2k (10k i think).

@drakonia i wasn't thinking about legendaries when writing this post anyways. i was thinking about more normal mons. like oran berry tropius, magnezoid, pumkaboil, toxtroll and oricorio. they were also quite high.
well, higher than i remembered them originally them to be
