The extreme RNG in the BK event needs to be removed....

None of the other events are like this.... in all the rest the amount of RNG is perfectly fine and workable.... you put in effort and you make progress

Tortodrones: Even a new player can farm for glyphs and build up a stockpile of ID cards for future events.... those who can beat the boss get a few special materials after the fight 100% of the time... it's a tough and long process but you are always moving forward

Dark Harvest: There is a daily mission, regular missions with graveyards, and clockworks floors all where you can hunt for Scarabs or Punkin rooms

Apocrea: It's a mission where even at low levels you can earn tokens and material... every time you play.... even if you are just distracting the Harvester your team can still net you a heap of tokens.... always progressing you towards a reward

Grinchlin Assualt: The main mission is replayable, you can get a team... and if you aren't strong enough you can get a taste and prepare for next year with better gear.... there's always progress....

The BK event is totally different..... in fact if it wasn't for the BK set or the need to fight Margrel for the armors it wouldn't be near as bad.... it doesn't matter how many tokens you collect... the next BK has the same chance to drop the book as the first one you ever met.... it doesn't matter what gear you have or how fast you can finish a level.... the possibility for you to get what you want is always the same....
Just because you haven't gotten a book from 1000 BKs doesn't mean that your chances go up....

There is no way to WORK this event.... no amount of player effort can get you what you want... and that is what gamers hate.....

Part of being a gamer is growing, overcoming, working, developing, progressing..... this event flies in the face of that....

I don't mind if the book is possible as a random drop IF it is also possible for players to earn a book... AND if the non BK armors didn't require you to get Wicked Whiskers to earn them

C'mon Grey Havens.... I know you don't have a lot on the crew but taking little steps here and there to make the game better should always be a priority...

I want you to listen to me,

I want you to listen to me, and listen to me good. I didn't read anything you just posted.

Stop posting and be quiet, because it's been 6-7 years since the BK update, and nobody in OOO or GH ever gave half a bread bun to ever update this freaking game when they could get paychecks for scribbling costumes and changing a few colors around every few months.

Cronus and whoever else is sitting in the office aren't listening to you, and furthermore are going to ignore you. They have NDA's and scripted responses, and even if they wanted, they can't help you.

They ignore me, they don't talk to me, and frankly they only respond to praise and immediate problems.

IT'S BEEN YEARS. YEARS. I'm going to say that one more time YEARS.
Just be a good human wage slave, be quiet, and play the game.
Nobody cares. If they did care, things would be different. Screen cap this.

Several of us have been try to suggest and tell the truth since the dawn of the game.
It hurts, and the sooner you give up, the sooner it won't hurt anymore.

If I had a purple spiral, I'd toss it back at them, because it's better to help you understand the way things are than cry about the impossible.

At this point I've been taking a break from the game until the one thing I need to progress on has been made reasonable.

It's been a long break. Come join me for EDF, now only $12 with all DLC in this month's monthly humble bundle.

@Paintool
They did listen to the suggestion of hardcore weekend being more often and to have different modes though, they also listened to the suggestion of introducing a MSI trinket, however they only listen to the suggestions they like not what the game needs. This is the way they like their game a grindy F2P that you can get anything you want with grinding albeit some items with extreme grinding and RNG included to balance making a paywall which is still unreasonable but what can we do.

well

They did increase the spawn rates of black kats that one time, so at least it's better than that.

But I really don't mind the black kat event if it wasn't so focused on the book of dark rituals with said item being behind a way-too-rare drop chance. The moment the black kat event stops focusing so hard on the book (ie, remove whisker requirements from all pieces except black kat, make black kat helmet lines fully craftable, give the user of the book of dark rituals 6 whiskers instead of 1 and no BKC) then I think it will be in a good spot in its spawn rate state.

I get that the even is based around luck, but locking us out of so many alternative gear options kinda stinks.
