Complaints Concerning the Yokai Watch Event

[raymon]

Why not? There's ALOT offered in this event. 2 mounts, 13 glamour weapons AND 13 minions. I see no problem with having to put forth a little effort to get them.

I have said and will continue to say that it's not that I have to put effort into getting the stuff, I will also say again that the event could have been made longer and I would be ok with it. I will again say that my big issue with the event is that it does not feel like an event. I don't mind putting effort into getting things. but you yourself said that the event is boring. which is what I am complaining about. i on;y mention the grind because it does feel needlessly prolonged.

The "event" wasn't exciting. It was a grind, but that's what the guys at yo kai wanted. It was a bit mindless, but there's ample time to do it, and no reason to rush. If grinding fates bores you that much, do a few a day. Say 'Ok, I'm going to get 3 medals today" and go out and do fates for an hour, and move on. Don't come to the forums and cry that it's "too long" and ask for it to be nerfed a week into it. That's ridiculous.

Funny thing is, even if your goal is 3 medals per day you still won't have enough to get all the weapons by the time event ended.

just did a 3 hours fate grind, got 3 medals. going to bed now. Oh, and i also noticed the developers with a suggestion. Not asking to make it 100%, but make it more than 1 every 10 fates ffs

"I wasn't in a particular rush, but I liked it so I kept doing it." "wanted a drop every fate. Yawn. That would have been even more boring." Your words not mine. I have been attempting to grind a bit daily, I'm irritated that I'm spending a few hours grinding alone and I only end up with 6 medals. That's an entire month just for one character, god forbid if you have an alt or two, if you don't find spending a month per character getting glamour items tedious and a bit ridiculous I'm pretty sure you're in the minority here. Plus as some folks have reported, some folks just saw the high number of fates and were just "Eff this event I have better wastes of time" or some are even using bots apparently. When we get to that sorta situation, I'm pretty sure the problem isn't me (Especially when I'm pretty sure I'm offering a still kinda lengthy grind as a compromise.)

That's the thing, comparably speaking you're spending nearly ten times the amount of effort to get all those weapons and last mount and you can't even do anything with the spare 700 or so medals. This event is just badly designed and meant to be a slow and annoying drag for the next two months for whatever reason. I still have yet to see why for whatever reason 222 isn't considered enough effort.

The biggest letdown is that they could have done something like tie things in to the mechanics of Yo-kai Watch to get new players interested in the series (I know it's huge in Japan but the NA playerbase is much smaller )

Instead we got a horrible grindfest that does nothing to communicate the kind of game YW is and why I find it so fun.

Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely getting YW2 when it finally hits NA in September, but this whole thing has definitely soured me a bit on the IP, which is a real shame.

Yeah, it's like outside of the initial references to the game/anime in the first quest and that was pretty cute! Then it's basically "Time to grind for who knows how long! Hope you're not sick of seeing these things by the end of it". I mean, even thematic fates would've helped a whole lot, like the few we've got for Easter for the past few years or the questline/fates featured for the FFXI crossover, those were interesting enough.

It depends on how much time you spend per day grinding, but basically yeah, raw math puts that at about two months lol.

YES! The reference to the crank-a-kai had me super excited. Then it dropped every pretense of being a crossover event and was just like "HERE RUN SOME FATES LOL"

Some suggestions I would make for the weapon grind, either make legendary medals always drop or don't increase the amount you need and keep rng. At the rate am going not sure if I can finish before the event is done.

[Alexander_Dragonfang]

I will never understand how spending time equals skill, fun or effort.

The problem with the event for me is I work 5 days a week, I spent most of my free time not at work doing the fate grind but I don't have good rng. I have finished 5 weapons so far but you know how the number keeps going up and the last 3 take 30. I only maybe have 2 hours or so a day to play if that. Been getting maybe 5-10 a day but I am afraid I will run out of time.

Given the huge amounts of medals the weapons take leaves you not much time to do anything else in the game. Please buff the drop rate on the medals.

[Musashidon]

from start to finish the event has over 60 days (closer to 70) total average about 5 medals a day and you will complete it with extra time.

course that is the base statement some days you could get lucky and get 5-6 in an hour and some times 0-2 i know when i was doing the grind i could go 20 fates without a medal and sometimes get 4 medals in a row rng is pretty mean but that's how it is.

the only real advice here is the sooner you start the slower you can take it.

If you get 5 legendary medals per day you will make it no problems. You only need 222 legendary medals. 5x60 days is 300 legendary medals.
