Character: Akane Nakano
Event: Adventurer's guild - Malfunctioning Automaton
Responsiveness: Don't think we had any actual significant slowdowns. There wasn't much on the fly adaptation necessary due to the nature of the event, but crystik was quick enough off the draw with it.
Balance: 8.5/10, BIG BLACK HOLE HURT. This woulda been higher, especially because of the actual cool way the event was constructed, with the spelltree mimicry. But, that big black hole literally damages you from across the max size map
Storytelling: 9/10, For what it was. A mini event; crack in, deal with the scene setting, handle business, get out. Quick, concise, there was no unnecessary bloat or Chekov's guns that I immediately recall.
Fairness: 9/10, See BIG BLACK HOLE. The injury received was probably a bit long for a standard CoI event, but there's ample medics these days and it was a temp. Other than that, yeah we were fine.
Overall: 9/10(?) I'm not working out the averages of my scores.
The first adventurer post for crystik, would definitely do another of theirs again, though likely one with a higher risk/reward. It's a fun little romp for an hour or two, at least. Breaks up the norm and gives a funny little boss fight for the sake of just having a boss fight, which is an interesting way to tackle events without some massive campaign that ultimately leads to people simply being there for item grabbing, because that's the SPECIFIC point of what you're doing.
I hope these little adventurer guild posts keep coming, and inspire people to do their actual character defining events for more the story, while using these for the dev items or simply just to 'win' an event. Keep up the good work.
