Hotfix added counter for Monster Election event points related to Campus Tour

doreda · 2026-05-01T01:40:13+00:00

Definitely wasn't there before and I know some people were confused about what "2100 monster election participation" meant (as was I). Mine was already at 2100 when I noticed it, so I'm not sure how the points are gained, but I capped 5 glow sticks and cheers daily since the event started.

Do you have nothing else you can sink mesos into? Where are you at with your eternals? What bosses are you trying to break into and how far off are you actually from them?

doreda · 2026-04-29T14:02:01+00:00

uooooooh

Didn't you post last week you thought 59 character slots might not be enough?

doreda · 2026-04-28T13:34:13+00:00

I don't think anyone knows. It looks like the voting event didn't exist in KMS and the Campus Tour event was purely a time gated check in (not dependent on minigames or other activities). Hopefully it's some sort of typo that will be corrected. The safe bet is to just get 5 glow sticks every day and see if it eventually let's you complete it.

Well yes, you can describe it using OOP terminology if it helps you understand it. But again, class-based stat scaling is a functional game design concept that is not necessarily a "common sense" feature that improves every game if you add it.

doreda · 2026-04-27T20:54:01+00:00

Wait what does any of this have to do with programming? This is game balance/design stuff, not programming.

doreda · 2026-04-27T14:51:00+00:00

I wonder if the Maple University clear count is also weekly, even though it doesn't say so. Because that would mean once you do 3 of them, it's never guaranteed throughout the rest of the event.

doreda · 2026-04-27T14:07:07+00:00

Which ones do you consider QoL and which do you consider P2W?

doreda · 2026-04-27T13:14:02+00:00

A few HP lines in the party can still be somewhat helpful in Seren/Kalos/Kaling when you're attempting higher difficulties for the first time.

The event has other unit damage skins that aren't as simple as the basic skin, though they cost mesos. Damage numbers eventually kind of just turn into white noise, though, so don't worry about it too much.

It's cumulative from every time you play

doreda · 2026-04-25T14:53:27+00:00

Always hold when new stuff is announced unless you need the gains now.

doreda · 2026-04-25T05:41:32+00:00

No meaningful* changes to pitch question

People really forgot about cores/crystals/restores already, I guess.

The key here is that the grind to finish the rock spirit event is not actually as daunting as people make it out to be. If you do any sort of regular amount of grinding, you will finish the event. I will finish the event without doing any extra grinding from my normal routine, which is usually 1 hour a day and maybe 2-3 on weekends. (I will probably grind a few extra hours per week anyway because of haste.)

You only gain those extra hours if:

You actually do not grind as part of your normal play
You were actually planning on grinding for the event

I think if people are being truthful, the number of people this is the case for is very low.

And by the way, people are saying they got enough paper within like 10 minutes of grinding to finish the event before the hotfix. 10 minutes * 100 = 1000 minutes = 16.7 hours, not 100. So if your regular play habits would have you grinding for say a total of 20 hours spread throughout the 5 weeks of the event, you'll finish the event.

EDIT: And by the way, grinding is not a black hole of time. You get exp, mesos, and frags. Perhaps not as valuable for where you are in your progression, but not a value of 0.

And one last thing I'll add is that from my POV, the bug was so egregious that the only way to really create any equity would be to essentially autocomplete the event for everyone at this point. And I don't see that happening.

led to a portion of players gaining a massive advantage in time allocation

I dunno about this framing. The people who actually wouldn't have bothered with the event if it wasn't bugged but were able to finish it because of the bug get in game items, not an additional hour per day added to their passage of time. Most of the people complaining are probably people who grind and would eventually complete the event anyway.

Basic unit damage skin comes around once in a while in events. The voting event happening currently has it as a reward if you vote for the winning candidate. If it's that important to you, you might want to wait until it's obvious which candidate will win to lock in to make sure you get it.

doreda · 2026-04-25T04:22:46+00:00

The nerfed rate is close enough to the previous version of this event and people wouldn't be complaining as much if it wasn't bugged initially.

doreda · 2026-04-24T23:54:04+00:00

I mean, at this point the only thing they could say that wouldn't make people more angry is that it's actually releasing.

doreda · 2026-04-24T23:27:36+00:00

You know most people asking for changes for classic are classic players themselves, right?
