I guess the devs got a LOT of data and feedback from this event, since it's taken them a full week to pour over it and none of them have time to say anything about how the big boss event for the anniversary was received.

Slight correction: the devs have had a week to pore over it, while the players have had a week to pour on it.

Start of a new week. What are the odds we'll hear something today?

They won't mention boss rush until they rerun. They haven't bothered to comment on Anniversary fun in general. However, they made sure they were snarky to a long time player quitting, but 41 pages of concerns over boss run, nothing to see here.

Hoping for some response this week even if it is to say "working as intended get over it" at least we would know..

A lot of people here defending poor customer service because that's apparently just the way it is...

Know what happened the last time I ordered a McDonald's and an item was missing from my bag? I went back to the counter, and I got what was left out because the staff half arsed the order.

This is very, very different but Ima stretch it here.

We expect our game, our EXPENSIVE game for the most part, to be fun.

If it was not fun, we want a reason. If the reason was "that mode was not supposed to be fun, it was supposed to be an extreme test of skills and roster depth", even without an apology for not communicating that properly before rolling it out, it should be a bare minimum to explain that to the players!

Boss Rush was too hard for a lot of players, to the point where it was not enjoyable.

Why? It was probably supposed to be hard (no one has said this).

It surprised people that Venom Bomb was a part of the anniversary celebrations as its first run had a poor reception.

Why? Probably because it's fixed now and players would get a kick out of their expectations being mixed up in a nice direction (also not communicated).

Best Friends Forever was a really interesting idea, that player feedback seems to suggest was a bit of a misfire in execution.

Why?

It seems like 5*s threw the event off (no statement on this any which way, and if there are plans to try it again with any adjustments to make it work as intended).

There were no Clearance Levels for the anniversary character release.

Why?

It seems like it wasn't quite ready, probably because there was no final decision on winning the new character through CL7 placemebt or not yet, they're with us now and it's pretty awesome (no one has said anything though).

A full post-anniversary run down would be nice answering some of the questions that came up would be nice.

JV - You read me too well.

Seriously though, how long does it take to gather "data" and relay it to us. Even a "We're looking at it" would be better than the silence.

This is my favorite waiting game

Haha they have to wait for all the charge backs to come in to see how much revenue they made to declare it a success or failure?

I read somewhere (*) that if this thread has no new posts in 24 hours it will disappear and the timeline will be rearranged so that the event never happened. 22 hours in, I don't really want to take a chance.

(*) Or it might have been something in an episode of Lost

I feel like the discussion is worth keeping because they seem to want to run this again and it's pretty unanimously unliked.

It says in the OP from HiFi that "win or lose, you contribute points to the boss". Which, to me, means it's the same as all other alliance based events. So I'm thinking this is just a glitch. That it was supposed to be a regular, everyone working together, boss battle, but somehow messed up and is now individual based. I don't think Demi would make an event with scaling like this one for individual play. There is just no way that lower level rosters can beat the higher levels on their own.

It may be too late to fix this, but I would suggest to play as much as you can and see what happens. You never know. Demiurge might surprise us.

Where is this person at?

Confirming that no additional statements are planned at this time regarding the Boss Rush event.

The dev team have taken your feedback into consideration and are currently going over the in-game data. The plan is to factor everything in for any future runs.

Thank you.
