Your ability to exploit the game to get higher than normal kills per hour doesn't equate to good game design.  The opposite actually.

I think it's just designed as a goal for people who are already in the end game phase, hence the objective rewards. I don't mind that I probably wont get the emote but I'd cry (real inquisitorial man tears ofc!) if I missed say a Witch Hunter hat (cough..cough) or something.

I'm more concerned about the overall goal (50m). It doesn't look like it's really growing much...I'd prefer the overall goal reward, but I'm concered about the ability to meet that. We'll see how things turn out once we reach the weekend where more people will be playing...it could just be timing at the moment.

I already have to do repetitive things at work, I do not need that on a weekend...

My thoughts about the event. 1Thump up 3 Thumps down.

Thump up for the idea that the whole community works together for the reward. 

First thumb down: Too many kills for solo players. My mission results ranged at 130 to 150 kills (rebel only) in 15 to 20 minutes. To get those 5.000 kills the calculated time lies between 500 and 770 minutes. Grinding might be okay but at one point it gets booooooooooooooooring.

Second thumb down:

The reward for the players was... meeeeeeeeeh. Some worthless emote for 500 to 770 minutes? Emotes are nice to have, but in my opinion not that nice. The overall reward for 50.000.000 kills... a loot box and pitfull 100 influence points.  I don't know how other players are interested in Influence points, but as the event has been in  the starting system  I think there were a lot of player that allready reached the max influence there (not me, i went straight for the campaign and did side quests only when I needed equipment)

Third thumb down:

The challenge / reward of the missions themself. The event was in a beginner system but with relative high power rating.  To get there I had to do some side missions / assignments to level up. After 3 or 4 runs and new equipment I overshot the requirements with the negative effect that the glory points for the missions dropped. Even switching gear to reduce my power level didn't work as the power level for the missions adjusted downwards too. So i had to do booooooooooooooring repetetive missions with an worthless overall reward and no usefull reward for the missions themself.  

So the overall idea for the event was ok. Perhaps the "challenge" option from the campaign could help a bit. That way players can do the boring stuff  but also optain sufficient glory and influence in the Event sector. Also the overall time was a little short for that sort of boring task. And please put in some more interesting rewards. I don't know the average age of the community but I can't imagine that there are whole armies of inquisitors trying to emote a great unclean back into the warp.

This "event" was really lazy made by the devs and totally demotivating for the players in so many ways.

It would have been better if the devs had spent their time fixing bugs, and actually, it would have been better if they had just not made this "event" and went partying instead or so.

Bad move, really.

1: I totally agree that the reward should be something else, i don't know what but not just an emote.

2: Tiers in community events would be awesome just like Elite Dangerous for casual family or hardworking players and the hardcore or burned brain ones.
3: Many say that 4-5  hours farming was too much but personally i was happy that i made it cause i got a profit of  1.5 million credits, many buffs, around 6-7 relics and around 500 fate. Let's be honest, none of us wouldn't do such a farm if there wasn't the event carrot thing. So that takes us back to number 1. in order to take part in the future again in an event..
 
1: I totally agree that the reward should be something else, i don't know what but not just an emote

so a tiered reward system kind of similar to the influence system on the planets would be nice. imho make the most desireable things to be rwarded first. i know people will say that then its not a reward but a giveaway but the upside is that no one feels left out or feels like they are not "hardcore" enough.

the high end tier rewards should be something designed for hardcore grinding players. you can do unique appereals that only the grindiest of the grinder can achieve in hopes of more people turning into harcore players but this didnt happen in one game i was playing so i have reasonable doubts that it will happen here.

maybe this needs long term tweaking but i definately agree with the op that there is an issue that is to be handled carefully and afaik there will be no "best" solution to please everyone.

5000 is to much (for me), and for me the PR550+ Missions are to strong. I have to take Time while playing each Mission, so I only can complete 2 or 3 within one Hour.

Sadly: The Event doesn't give much fun. Is boring due to the same kind of Mission, it's to difficult due to the huge Number of required Kills and due to the Level (Power Rating) of the Missions. Sadly ....

The Leaderbords can't be the Measuring Stick to define what is possible and what is impossible. Some of us, the Guys with a real life, won't have Time to do 50! Missions during 1 weekend. There is much more to do than just playing a Game. 5000 is much, to much - and the missing response of the Developers is unacceptable. 

There are some Players with Lvl5 Characters out there, which can't participate because the Missions have a 400+ Power Rating - atleast - there are Players stating that they won't participate because they have not enough time to reach the Goal (why they should start a race that they will never be able to end), and we got no response at all.

This Event should fail, to show the Devs that they should start to listen to the people - and PLEASE - do not tell us, that the E-Penis Board should be the Measuring Stick for any Requirements.

But the multiplayer lag seems to have cleared up, so maybe they were busy fixing that and only had 2mins left for event planning. ;)

As about the kill count (5000) which I see people going on about well I don't know how hard it is for others, I ain't going to brag either it did take about 5 - 7 hours of farming getting kills each map between 100 to 200 which I personally was fine with., but again I can't speak for everyone. Anyways if majority demands it be less in future than I couldn't complain. Just the reward was the biggest downer for me. 

Thank you and keep up the good work, loving the game and looking forward to more content.

A a lower number would be more realistic for a lot of us.

I agree. The number is way too high, a lot of us have family/jobs/etc. and do not want to spend our time grinding repetitive missions. The reward is not something most would be super excited about (a salute emote ?). Not only that, but it seems that meme virus for extra xp does not work at all on those event missions, and the xp they give is a joke. For me there is no real incentive to be a part of this event. I hope future events are better balanced and have better rewards. The game is lacking a lot of things right now. Armor skins are few and bland, not much of a difference between the 3 tiers of customisation, items that can apparently be customised do not even appear on the character, no option to disable the long, buggy melee executions and the list can continue. It feels like the game was rushed out to meet the release date and lacks polish.

one mission is like 5 minutes if you're not too low,
that makes 50 missions (rather 60 actually).

That is WELL OVER FOUR FKING HOURS OF STRAIGHT GRIND and they call it an event?!?!
And give you a useless emote as reward?!?

wtf...

This is just my experience, but for me 5k kills in those 3 days was just not possible.  I have a family and a job, so I agree that a lower number would have been more reasonable.  I know my situation is not everyone's situation.  Also, I found the same thing other people were talking about, which is the rank of the missions outranked me to the point the grind was slow.  I was rank 6 with a PR of about 125 when i started, and most missions for me were in the 250-3?? range.  I did find I was able to complete the lower end yellows in between the green missions that would spawn, and they would typically be way under my PR making them useless runs except for the kills.  I was able to get to about 1700 kills, mainly playing yesterday, then realizing i couldn't hit the goal so I went back to leveling.  If the community goal is reached do we all get that reward or just people that hit 5k?

Yeah as someone who had too do stuff this weekend and only came home today i 've really tried t o get the 5K but i wont make it in time only at 3232 with 15 min remaining meh kinda sad. Wish they'd factor in people have a life.

K.

Other then that I would like to add that it was a wish for me to actually have that Emote even though it was just an emote. But perhaps with some luck, they might just have that Emote available in another Event in the future, so all of us who didn´t make it might have another chance.

But on the other side of these things, is 5000 really THAT much? No, in fact it is not. It is totally NOTHING. Assuming you have the time to actually do it of course.

But on the subject of much. How does 30 000 ++ sound? And that was done in less then 8 hours, I know. It is very likely to be WAAYYY higher now.

Is that even possible? Is that even the slightest achieveable for a regular person to do? Just check the Leaderboards for this event. Or is it as I think, huge time plain simply big time cheating?!

You who are good in mathematics, could perhaps figure it out. I´m able to churn out everything from 150 to 300 in score for (in SOME cases might even score a bit more) each run I take. I´m not the fastest, I´m not the strongest Character build either, so I certainly have to be careful during each run I go. I can´t rush in to the enemy crowd and slaughter away, regarding everything I see of enemy. I am likely to spend everything from 9-12 mts to likely 25 mts each run.

Would it even be POSSIBLE for me to churn out that kind of a number in such an amount of time?

I can see myself (with big dedication) in that timeframe, churn out everything from 5000 up to even 10 000, maybe even 12000 with some good luck. But 30 000 ++ pts??! Seriously, come on. Gimme a break.

My problem with the event was the random 'shifting of the goal posts' which I encountered while trying to join in with the event. I'll explain what I mean, although a couple of fellow players have touched on my issue.

When I logged in on Sunday morning to start the event I was level 22 with a PR sitting at about the 550 mark. Checking the maps in the event system I believe the lowest PR level was 640. I didn't feel that this was a problem, a couple of hours story grinding, Tarot missions and Random Assignments should do the trick. Fast forward a couple of hours and I am sitting with a PR around about the 640 mark and so I head over to the event system. Once there I find to my surprise that the lowest PR level has jumped to 718. I thought I'd still give it a crack but the damage I was taking and outputting was nowhere near good enough to make a dent into the event. I just gave up and went back to levelling.

I am wondering if I missed something here. Was this a max level only event? Was it a bug? Was there a breadcrumb mission that I missed? I have no idea, but I am fairly disappointed on a personal level that I couldn't get involved. I wasn't bothered about the boredom of the potential grind as Netflix, the World Cup and booze takes care of that.I just found it weird that the PR rating had shifted with no explanation.

Anyway, that's my experience of the 'event'. I'm not going to knock the DEVS too much about this but I hope they do take note of some of the fair and valid points raised by my fellow players here. 

Although the game is a tad rough around the edges I believe it has potential to grow and it's set in a fantastic universe.

Onwards and upwards.

Regarding the lvl of the missions,

they were around 550-700 or so on my 2nd pskyer that I am leveling now, for that char most missions were low green up to somewhat yellow, and no threat at all.

I would have thought the missions spawned for everyone at their green-yellow range, regardless of PR, anything else would be outright super stupid.

Really annoying is, once you did all the "good" missions and there are only siege left, that give 20% of exp/fate always, or bunker buster missions that tend to be un-finish-able due to the mis-aligned bunker that is not reachable.

There is so much stuff coming together in this "event", and I dare you call "grind 50-60 missions for an emote" an event!

It really looks like the devs did a brainstorming on how to break the ARPG record for annoying players most,
which though goes well in line with all the other stuff that is unchanged and unfixed since alpha, with not even a word of the devs on all that like the 1000-ways-to-randomly-lose-all-your-buffs, the 2 bugs that make tactical crusaders turrets completely unusable, the high end grind perk self flagellation that is bugged for psykers ever since, and all those other little things everyone knows already for a long time...

...but yea, by all means, ignore all that and make a 50-60 missions grind for nothing and call it an event.  -.-

I ended up going for max speed (+70%) and doing the missions in 2m to 2m 30s usually while picking up every non-horde kill I could find,
and that is stil 2.5h straigh hardcore grind, not even counting in time for checking loot and stuff, rather 4h+ for the average player,
you just don't do that, really.

they should just said its a little prelude instead of "the first opportunity to carve your name into xy" so people would feel more casual about it but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Best of luck to you in the future! and Keep the happy purging going!

Emotes and such things are supposed to be done in (If you have/are in one) Guild, or Cabal as it´s called here.

And besides, in PVP. Who is interested in doing Emotes anyways there? Go and smack down your opponent before he does the same to you. LOL.

Hhmmm. Okee. That I did not know. I thought some things were a bit different in a Guild/Cabal.

Yes, I know of bonuses and such. Have read about that.

speaking of the leaderboard.... i dont think thats possible in a normal way what i just saw in the leaderboard.... im am a similar lvl and have 3,5K rebels killed....

https://www1.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=14918472

a 2 million count on lvl 35...nah i dont think so...
the other leader are all around lvl 50 (if the scaling of the dead rebels/per mission has something to do with your lvl)
i get 100-150 being lvl 32

should be checked....

I'm sure their response will be something like "Working as intended".  That's just sad and pathetic though.

And when it comes to this event this weekend, I will not be able to get to 5000 Pts I think. A bit hard since I lack the power Rating for most Missions.

And when it comes to this Event, I will say this is only a tiny little thing to kick off bigger things down the road with.

I clearly remember something they wrote within 1 month upcoming will come of Event they wrote. Anyways, this summer will bring one big Event, and then people will say: Marvellous, nice, so sool, etc, etc..

and on top of that, at a point you HAVE TO do missions of type "siege" that only grant you 20% of both the experiene and fate they should!

This looks as if it is a deliberate trolling of the devs, kicking the playerbase in their nuts.

There is hardly any other explanation to this.... "event" by all means.

Guys please have a look at Megapull post :

"During the next weekend (June 15-17), a shorter global event will take place. This will be tied in with a new short story from the Caligari Archivum, and Inquisitors will have to deal with invaders at a new point of interest. There will be community-wide goals to achieve for this event, and of course, successful Inquisitors' efforts won't go unrewarded." 

A shorter Global event ... all is write here ... we have understand 5000 is to much for a lot of us ... for myself too i'm in family this weekend its father's day and i prefer spend my time other way, but don't forget its a community based game so some of us will unlock the perk for give us the community reward and its most usefull ( maybe ) than the emote so don't forget that every one will be rewarded and for the one's saying its just a little event there is no story etc ... Excuse me but they never say it will be a big new story line ... we have a background a little event and a story of the Caligari Archivum ... On E-Book but we have it and i think for this time Neocore give us all they say ... Little Community Event and a Story ...

So please don't say its a shame i like this kind of event its challing with the leaderbord and every one will be rewarded ... After its my point of view not everyone may agree with me ^^ 

Good luck inquisitors ! =p

5000 kills isn't anything special, the usual spawns I had were about 165 to  210+ at level 27 to 29, and finished it today.

It isn't complicated and just quite easy to do. What I'm saying, comparing 5000 kills in this game to let's say Warframe, Warhammer 40K is fine with it due to spawns being rather consistent. Whereas in Warframe it's random and actually bullshit at times, and I've played Warframe for 4 years and still do. 

So saying 5000 kills "is a bit too much", is an overstatement. If you take the worst example for Warframe, farm Equinox. Equinox requires both the day and night frame, each requiring 3 parts, a total of 6, and then finally make the warframe itself: Equinox. Where the actual shit in this, is the amount of RNG in Warframe is actually terrible at times. 

Yes, I know both play differently, but both has RNG of course, but Warhammer 40K here is actually more fair and this event is fine in a sense that you get reward towards glory (I got more than half ways just by doing the event alone), and the levels in addition to fate. 

Besides, take it easy doing this event, rushing it will just result in you stressing and come to an irrational thought process. And I see this coming more and more because people expect to have an easy time, and I can only say: Remember games like this, wants players returning for with an investment in time (and money of course).
