Idea for Strange Sights

I find it kind of funny with this event that Strange talks about choosing wisely when you choose which portal to go in when it doesn't really matter as you play all three no matter what and it doesn't make a difference really which order you do them in.  What if there was actually something to the relics you collect?  What if they made them into three different moderate supports that could only be used for the rest of the event.  That way part of your choice could be which supports want to use for the other days.

I know, an attempt to make supports something actually useful/relevant, crazy idea, but it was bound to happen someday...

    What would be real funny would be if you chose the wrong door it shut your phone down for 3 days. That would spice things up a bit.  :D

    Or the other doors locked you in to "You're supposed to lose" Galactus and an even harder version of  Boss Rush.

    Making those artifacts into supports, and putting them into Support tokens in the vaults for those subs, would be a way to make those 21-item vaults more interesting. So the only way to acquire an Orb of Agamotto Support would be from the Orb of Agamotto vault from the Orb of Agamotto sub event in Strange Sights.

    THEN, to make "choosing wisely" more relevant, maybe you get a number of tokens based on the day for that vault. So day 1, whichever one you choose, you get one token for completing that sub. Day 2, you get two tokens. Day 3, three. If you go left to right, you'd get one Orb of Agamotto token, two Book of Vishanti tokens, and three Wand of Watoomb tokens.

    The rewards add up the same for everyone over the course of the event, but the order you choose the doors matters because it influences your rewards, and it gives more reason to stop and think about the choice. There would be kinks to work out (my idea might work for Beginner supports, or maybe even Advanced, but if you put Master tokens in people would be hoping for those tokens for a whole bunch of supports that AREN'T the relics, which kinda goes against the idea you suggested of making it themed to Strange Sights; likewise, if you did my idea with Beginner tokens, then it would be weird that you'd still have to hunt those relics down for the Rank 4/5 versions in other events). It's not perfect, but it's a start, and little things like this that make the events a little different would be a welcome addition.

     Actually it does matter what order you do them.
    Is this event, the pool people you were competing against split for each day.  
    If you pick the know that if you were people are in, you can likely please higher getting a better daily reward.    Also this your alliance split between the groups it can impact the alliance reward s you get.

    Go look at the alliance rewards for this event. The only thing that matters is whether or not you have each sub event covered. Beyond that, there is no placement day to day, so it doesn't matter that you're split up.

    I'd inverse - Day one you get three tokens, two two and third one - It places importance on the first node you play, rather then maing the hard choice the last day.

    If you choose the maggia sub first, you loose around 1400pts because of a bug. At least it was during last trial of that event. Not sure if fixed or not. So... yeah, choose wisely.

    The bug has been fixed.

    Oh god, I'd rather it shut my phone down.
