So I did a basic search and found nothing like this and I just want to at least make a topic on it.

I was thinking that after the apocrea event a lot of people got all the tokens and materials, but other people like me didn't have the right weapon or orbs necessary to make the weapon. I get that it was an exclusive and rare event, but hear me out. I was thinking that an obelisk could spawn randomly at a crossroads or at the ends of levels featuring fiends or ghosts occasionally. Sure the event will happen again eventually, but I would like it to be more similar to the spookat event.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

Shroud of the Apocrea is gonna return, not unlike the kataclism. don't worry, we will all get the chance of getting those tentacles.

Doesn't matter Thunder, it would honestly be better to be a random event that can be avoided by those who recognize the signs of it.

Instead.

I would love for all these events (especially non-holiday-themed ones) to last longer. In games like WoW and tf2, halloween events start in the beginning of october, giving players tons of time to experience the event, and get the cool new content. In Spiral Knights, unless you do nothing but play SK all day, the only way you're getting the cool event items is by forking over millions of crowns.

As you said, it was a rare event that was meant to be timed. It was completely possible to get all 3 weapons in the allotted time given to us, in the first 2-3 days even. Making it a random floor now would lower the value of the weapons and devalue the event as a whole. Also, if you want this to be randomly spawning you would have to do that with the kats too, which im opposed to for the same reason.

I think that it'd be wonderful if the event could be a random occurrence. You'd just be going about the arcade, and BAMF- TENTACLES! And then, Apocrea would be there again! It wouldn't be often enough to go out of your way to get things for, but it'd be something to look forward to finding. Maybe put obsidian prize boxes up for sale for like 5K tokens, so that 100% of everyone would look forward to getting it.

I don't see why you guys are so against this either- events are exciting and nice, but they could be actual content too! I've fought Margrel like, 5 times now? Compared to having beaten the jelly king/toxilargo/vanaduke/everything else several hundred times! Its like, they've made this awesome content and it is extra special, but I can't play it because its trapped behind the event wall... I'd like to play SK when I want to, not have to wait for OOO to open up the event so that I can waste my life farming books for a chance to fight a single boss one time..

And it isn't like the events would be "devalued" entirely. People still craft Chaos armor despite it not being behind a paywall. What it is, is holding people back from crafting their gear for several months, when people with blackhawk need an upgrade, they can't get one without waiting for the event or making the rather lackluster Sentenza variant of the weapon... but the catch is that you could still hold the event later; you could still say "Ten times as many black kats will spawn!" or put up the Apocrea mission.. then maybe add costumed kat hats to the event, or add a new puzzle/reskin or two to the Apocrean mission.

But its kinda lame when you go to craft that cool looking hat and find out that its tied to some event that you'll probably end up missing.
