Other Daily Events & Event Tickets

[Bitter-Floral]

So a recent update added this weird "Event Ticket' system to the Daily Events. This weird, unnecessary system has a major flaw: Daily Events expire. So I spend one of my four tickets to start an event, and it expires. Now I'm out the ticket, and the event. Did no one consider this? If you must have this 'system,' it should at least keep the event active or refund the ticket when this happens. Or just go back to the completely fine way it was before. You guys are trying too hard with this stuff.

I'd like to start by saying "Welcome Back to SGM"...because it seems you were on a break when the Event Ticket system was first introduced 11 months ago. Even then, it did not go over well with the players...so we hear you!

The biggest 'draw' for the Ticket System is being able to skip Character Dailies (once you've played through a particular tier 100%).
But yes, if you use a ticket on Holodeck or Accursed and don't finish before they expire, that ticket is spent and you walk away with whatever rewards/resources you've earned at that time.( but frankly, that was how those events worked without the tickets, so it is really only the entry fee that you 'waste' if you don't 100% in time) Plus, you can only bank 4 tickets for the next day, so if you're not spending 4 tickets before the next refresh, you're still losing tickets.

Unfortunately, Event Tickets is another 'resource' to have to micro-manage in this game, but being able to skip character dailies is pretty sweet.

I see, or we could skip dailies and just garbage bin the whole ticket system: instant improvement.

I've been in and out of the game, but the more the devs seem to be sleeping at the wheel with bad decisions like this the less attention and time I've been allocating. I love the original story and art, and the base game was solid, but as is so typical these days it just keeps getting dragged down with unnecessary bloat as time goes on. Like yet another resource where none was needed before. *sigh*

I think the next break will be even longer.
