I'm not going to get in to any of the heated debates up here but I think Funzio have come up with a good event idea. I've had all the same bugs as the rest of you, I wasted 2 days thinking I had 10 hours rather than 2, I've had the boss disappear quicker than he should or the two guys standing there aimlessly shooting at each other with nothing happening. Yes Funzio did a poor job of testing this event. We all know that and Mark has put his hands up and admitted that.

However as a game mechanic, the actual idea of the event, I think it's brilliant. really fun to play, we get free gold units and it makes you play the game differently to the way you would normally play it. That makes it fun in my book.

I won't spend gold on this event but I have used my whole queue of 50 ally requests to boost my attack and get a few extra units out of the event. I was stuck on boss 8, now I'm at 11. I went from 4500 A with 39 allies to 13500 with 99 allies just to get a couple more units. I'll drop back to a more comfy level after the event but for a week it's making me play differently. think differently.

I've tried new stuff, I know it's a bit scary but not too scary at higher ally levels. It's opening up other areas of the game that I might not have got in to for months, or maybe ever. That's nto a bad thing.

Sometimes i think we all get so caught up in our own personal little strategies in this game, not leveling up, not getting attacked, not having any fun!!! that we all need to take a step back and just run with it.

I've had a smile on my face all week, and I've not even had any rare units yet! 2 x uncommon, all the rest commons. But MW has been more fun the last few days than it has been for me for a little while.

Well done Funzio, fix this event mechanic and then give us something else that puts outside of our comfort zone will ya!

I agree. I did not spend any gold and I have 8 new units ...

I know we all like free gold units.

I guess my point is more about it making the game more fun, making us play the game differently and trying new things. It gets us all out of our little ruts.

Yeah its great man, I got 10 indestructible units. Thats worth 3 crate events for me. Even if I got 9 commons and 1 uncommons its ok for me. I like the event. This event makes me try the whale regions again and I can say its much more quiet here than when I was with 260-320 allie bracket

It was a good event for my 2nd account (lower level) received 15 gold units, that was not bad at all for free.

Great idea. It's made me go up 1 extra level, and about to be 2. By the time it's over, it will be three or 4. It also made me finish my lieutanant rank, and beef up my attack substantially. If I can get to 25 with cash, it will also get me to empty my 500 tapjoy gold reserve.

I agree I got some great free units. Even with all the bugs I think it was a great addition to the game. I just wish there was a chance to get the main prize without using gold like other events. I think funzio should fix some of the bugs, maybe rework some of the parameters like time limit, amount of hits, and damage given. With a few small tweaks this could be a true "epic" event.

Good idea, they just should of worked it out before releaseing. I got 46 "free" powerful units from it.

500 gold for a unit without a boost is not an event it is buying a discount unit lol . I don't want to spend gold on an event cheapens the winning if you ask me. And playing without gold was just too demanding of my time and concentration on the timer with my little ones running around and going for days out ect so don't like timer part. Other than that it was a good try shame it didn't work as stats didn't go up when bought over 1k of units ect lol. If you don't have a timer and don't have to spend gold it would be cool as long as it works as it states! If I buy a cheese burger I don't want to end up with a chicken burger!
