The New Events

So with regards to the new events, quite frankly i'm not exactly excited for the new events. Sole reason being that i detaches from actual gameplay, more so for people who cannot invest so much time in the game. I understand the point of events is to mix it up a little bit and make fun stuff for people to participate in, but it stops being fun when it seems like you're forced to grind out an event. And you could argue that the event is completely optional and that one does not have to partake in events if it is too time consuming for the player, but with regards to reboot players it doesn't seem to be the case. I personally play on reboot and the shop has some of the best in slot equipment for reboot players with regards to progression. Although it is not game breaking to be without those items, when hoping to push forward in progression It's understandable to push forward to obtain the best gear and equipment possible.
The new events so far brings approximately 50+ minutes of content that delineates from the game, that in my opinion is non optional as one is forced to play these games in order to obtain some of the best equipment in the game (with regards to reboot). With regards to my case those 50 minutes are quite valuable as they could be spent leveling, farming for nodes, doing bosses, etc. There is barely, if any at all, time for these events. And from what i see without a way to obtain coins outside of these events via just playing the game regularly . I'm not sure if these rings are as important to regular servers because i haven't played the regular servers in years, but i think having a way to obtain coins outside of the event would benefit those who do not have as much time to invest in the events completely a decent income of coins. Maybe I'm being ignorant or I'm missing a point, but I've always seen events as something optional that adds fun a little bit more spice to the game, Not something that seems to take large sums of time, while getting punished for not partaking in the events fully. I'm curious to hear you guy's thoughts on this.

    50 minutes? Given that you spend 45 in 3x Kemdi, are you really only spending 5 in Spiegelmann?

    Hi, so i said about 50 mins because spiegelmann has 10 runs each about 5 minutes long (hence 50 mins) and kemdi takes ~10 minutes per run (3 maximum runs, equaling another 30 minutes) and that's with out the other events which have not been opened yet but further delineate even more from actually playing the game, hence more time being taken up by the event.

    Also kinda shitty how we can realistically only get 1-2 rings and not being able to buy out the store even you nolife it.

    Meh... I already dropped Kemdi as each session runs over 15 minutes and it's pretty damn boring. The concept is pretty dumb too. Am I training to be a master detective or a expert cat burglar? Maybe they should have made it an parody of Lupin the IIII instead of Case Closed. I kind of like the taxi thing but geeze... why not just make the fares a little better without 10 freaking daily runs? Double the fares and and reduce it to 5 runs would have made a lot more sense especially since you have so many other events running simultaneously.
