I haven't posted in a very long time, but felt compelled to chime in on this discussion. What I want to say is I do love this event. It is equal parts fun, frustrating, and addicting to play. I've managed only a handful of wins, a couple of those being when there was less than 8 players in the final round. I don't care about getting the 100 win achievement. I was happy getting just one, especially under the current conditions.
I've had the same issues as anyone else when it comes to the snapshotting. I find it no more severe than anything I've encountered in PvE. I don't deny that it is a crappy thing to deal with in both PvE and PvP scenarios, but it is what it is. We have to deal with it, or just not play. Those are our choices. However, there are at least a couple of things I feel we shouldn't be dealing with.
The first are the absolutely disgusting set of players who will camp out by the goal line during the race courses in the first round until they are the last ones required to finish. This only grieves the other contenders, and gives them false hope to win. It also delays the progression of the instance. It never ceases to amaze me at the poor conduct exhibited by some players in the community. This is what's called "Unsportsmanlike conduct" and is heavily frowned upon. There is an easy fix to this though, and it is simply to move the goal line up to be adjacent with the last obstacle in the course. Once you clear the obstacle, you finish the race.
The second is Manderville Mountain should not be the final round. It should be an elimination round, and the first eight players to the top should proceed to the final. The entire event should be played out like this.
Preliminary round: Manderville Can Parade, Gentlebean's Fever
Divisional round: Saucery Siege, Manderville Mountain
*All four of these shows are technically races.
Final round: The Gold Swiveller
The Gold Swiveller is not a race, and it is pure survival. Though if all contenders are 'just that good', then the player in the lead will eventually win. But this would force players to make very risky maneuvers in order to take the lead. Typhon should never be able to spin faster than top player speed, and it should be the increased difficulty of the obstacles that slows them down enough to catch his blast. This really should be the final round, and the last player standing is crowned the champion.
Another suggestion I do have is that for the race courses, there is additional MGF rewarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd placers. The higher the standing, the higher the reward. It would also be nice to see how everyone placed.
Other than that, I would love for this to be fleshed out into an entire game. I never PvP'd in this game until now. I know there is the actual Fall Guys, but every time I enter this thing, I can't help but envision all the wipeouts being caught and shown on instant replay, increased reactionary physics to the obstacles crashing into players, and two Japanese commentators giving the play by play and laughing their arses off at all the spills. This is just my imagination running wild, but I would LOVE it. lol.
Stay true friends.
