This at least gives the smaller coalitions a chance by eventually forcing some coalitions to focus on one event or another. Would prefer coalition tiers too, but I'll get what I can get. I think you are optimistic. As long as event will not require the same time that qb leaderboard does, top players will be able to simply dominate every single event. Its not hard to play 2 or even 3 events at the same time.

That said probably it won't matter much. Some people could get more than usual cause they see it as a unique chance. Some other will fall behind cause it's not worth it for them to try this hard. That wI'll only affect a low % of people. For all others it will only mean getting same results(talking about each individual event) with much more effort(because you are playing 2 event together 2 times in a row during a single weekend) It begins to feel too much like a job. If giving a better chance to more player or "rotating" somehow winners is the matter there was an easy Solution from the very beginning: if you run 2 events let people only be able to join one. This would have also fixed the problem of people already owning saheeli competing for saheeli again. Simple.

Right now I am going only for one secondary in terror in the shadows, making is much less of a problem, cause I still hate that event even outside of the double event. This way the whole thing is less of a problem for sure but again, double events does not accomplish much: - top people and coalition will still be overall the same level probably. Some going a little up some going a little down - saheeli prize will for a big % go to people that already own It, so wasted. The only good thing it does for sure is to give more prizes overall. That goal can be achieved in better ways. Also by a pure game design perspective people should be able to get the most out of a game while having fun. Putting so much content that implies not having fun to play it all, it's bad for the game.
Morphis wrote: Now in the saheeli event thread some people started discussing the problem of having two event at once. well IT IS a problem. - First of it all we have no deck saves. So getting different decks for different objective may require many adjustement. - Second going back and forth you can easily forget what the hell you are playing. You are in saheeli? Or was it NoP? ****? You feel lost. - last but not least: it is exhausting!!! My head hurts My eyes are on fire. While it's true no one is forcing me to play for personal prizes I would feel bad for leaving my coalition without a member. So I want to play at least to get some ribbons. This leads to me making mistakes even stupid ones while playing(like my first **** match: I forgot to put phone in charge and lost the match cause of shut down). Every time things go bad for luck, cards or whatever you get even angrier than normal cause you are tired, very tired. So pleas PLEASE DEVS. I don't know why you decided to make this happen. If it will ever be decided to bring some special event back at last time, REMOVE temporarily the current ones. Thanks. P.s. Hope this topic makes sense, my English gets worse when I am tired

Nobody complains that Quick Battle events are going on at the same time as Coalition events. Nor that Story Mode is still there. If you can choose to play or not play Quick Battle, couldn't you also choose to play or not play Saheeli? Or at least not play her with 100% pedal-to-the-metal effort? As far as I'm concerned, they could have events every hour. People are always complaining about stingy drop rates and prize payouts. But then they double or triple the number of prizes being given out in a certain week, and people complain about that as well.

There are other people getting the prizes there. I'm perfectly fine with it. As I stated if they made events "exclusive"(you can only join one) I would have been ok with that. For sure would have not complained cause "OMG I can't get all the prizesssss".
