Anyone else think this collection event is cheap?

specifically for the PQ ones - first they won't spawn all the time and second they still register at a chance only.

    Also forgot to mention the limited entries for dragon rider, hob king, tangyoon and chryse to make them even HARDER

    I collected all of the PQ ones at this point but it's far beyond a reasonable rate to obtain.

    Expect to run most of them at least 20 times with extreme outliers of needing more than 60.

    It's not cheap it's stupid. what i hate most is the elite versions of regular monsters. I've summoned 4 and none of the 4 were the ones that i needed...(example: beefy, speedy, healer,etc)
    It's stupid as heck

    Nexon thinks this is realistic? This event takes hours and hours upon end then you even have the slight change of it spawning.. then not collecting at all when it does spawn.. Up the rates.. This event is useless and unfair

    I might be reading the date's of this event wrong, but don't we basically have the entirety of two months to complete this? lol

    i've stopped counting how many times i've completed the pirate party quest for the party bellflower, and i've only seen it once. and i didn't even get it. right now there's two hurdles. things gotta spawn, and then they gotta register. they should have made it so at least one of them was a 100% chance. either always spawn with small chance of registering, or small chance of spawning with a 100% rate of registering..

    well if it wasn't hard to do then they might as well just give everyone the items straight up... not every item from every event everyone gets/can get

    I've qued my friend these past 3 days around 60-70 times on the Shammos pq alone. I understand that this event is meant to be difficult, but I don't understand why we can't get a 100% spawn or a 100% chance to register into our collection with the other factor being completely low RNG like Crawfishh mentioned. Personally, I've gotten the Hoblin monster collected within 7-9 tries with Dragon Rider pq being my last obstacle. I personally wouldn't mind the RNG of these pqs if we could enter all of them solo and without limits but a lot of them require parties like Romeo and Juliet being the most cancerous out of all of them with four players necessary.

    Trust me, I like the fact that 99.9% of my world will never have this chair, but I don't like seeing my friend suffer like this.

    TLDR; Qued friend for 6 straight hours for Shammos ( Hoblin ) party quest with 0 collects. Feels bad man. Feels bread.

    if you change channel after each pq entry you will have a good chance of it spawning i think its limited how often it can spawn on each channel so dont just keep going on channel 1 you will waste soo much time and they might never spawn if other people are doing the same pq :)

    I still need most of the PQ event monsters but it's so hard to find a party especially since I live in Europe.

    If anyone plays in Windia and still needs the PQ event monsters, please feel free to add Hollie and we can PQ together.
