Aside from my criticism of the state the event was released in, assuming that all of the bugs get fixed, I'd still like to chat a bit about this even in comparison to many others and suggest ways to improve it.

So first off, what is the Spike Event?

Basically any Construct level will have a chance to spawn spikes nearby when a Construct (not Retrodes) spawns. This spike can be picked up by monsters or players. Monsters can pick up several and gain stat boosts when they do... you can collect the spikes and trade them for Fire Crystals or use them in crafting.

What can you craft?

A gun.... one gun line.... that takes hundreds and thousands of spikes to craft... good luck

So how does this stack up to other events? Well.... I'd say it's kinda lacking. Sure it's the long coveted F2P earnable Diskgun the community has long asked for, and that alone makes the event something that will see a lot of play.

But there's no costumes, no other weapons, no armor, no cosmetic prize boxes to earn, no prestige missions around it, no unique boss fight.

------

I don't think that all of this would be necessary but I do believe that adding more stuff in future iterations of this event would be very welcome. More weapons, armors, and maybe a shield would be wonderful especially considering it's current application already being weapon focused. (though I would argue for lowered crafting costs if you're going to add many more)

A basic prestige mission without a boss that has a heavy focus on spawning spikes would also be appreciated... so even if you can't replay it every day you can still earn a solid number of spikes.

A boss fight would probably be too difficult especially with it possibly having respawing monsters that end up with spike boosts. This event is also a good time to rerelease the Construct Prize box so not really any need to have earnable boxes like for the Punkin, Winterfest, and Anniversary events, and since these boxes will be dropping on the event IDK if earnable costumes would be that good either.
