I'd like to know what you think about both events and the nerfs that they made. If you don't know the events/changes:

Kat event

Rare Black Kats can spawn instead of normal Kats which drop special tokens, which can be used to buy special kat hats and materials to upgrade them.

Changes:
The event returns(like once per 6 months)
Black Kats from the prestige mission don't drop tokens.

Apocrea:
There is a Slender like map where you walk around and destroy breakable gravestones, purple lost souls can randomly spawn, if you "free" them you get tokens.

Changes:
OOO reduced the soul spawn and reduced the token drop by a lot.

Designed to be swapped in and out every so often to give the illusion of something to do.

Having players just stand around in front of the elevator waiting for the Candlestick to pass by was always an issue, who wants to play an avoid-em-up? If the chance of finding a Black Kat was a permanent feature of Candlestick then perhaps selling fetishes might have been a way to bribe us to play it.

Fighting the Harvester seemed neat at first. That was until you realize that its... yet another avoid-em-up.

Then why are people so obsessed with gold mobs making a return when all they are going to do is get bored of them/hate them?

Anything new in this game is good. I vote for more new stuff.

On a side not, Apocrea had an awesome atmosphere.. and seeing all the dead knights with their souls being freed was a sad sense of accomplishment... but that feeling passed as the grinding continued. Was still pretty awesome the first time or two.

The black Kat boss was kind of a neat concept. There should be more things like that... The gathering of materials from the corners of the clockworks to summon a boss type thing and get an awesome payout for your efforts.. or luck?

Oooh, I like that idea Blueflood!

What if that's what we use minerals for now? Summoning new bosses! I would be down for that.
