Soooooooooooooo sick of Snaptooth. And endless multiple runs of the same missions.

Here are my problems with this year's event. First, Snaptooth. I never saw any connection between Red Caps and St. Valentine's Day, and after the Winter Event he looks even more like Generic Villain That You Are Sick Of Looking At.

Second, doing the same missions over and over. I realize this saves on dev time, since they don't have to design unique missions for each reward, but to be honest I'd rather have fewer rewards than have to do some of those missions one... more... time.

Third, the farming was next to impossible. It took forever for my alts to get Coldblooded, and I didn't get Weed Whacker on a single toon. Why? Because they not only required villains, but villains of at least a certain level. Weed Whacker teams were rare and always full.

Fourth, no funsies. No trick or treat inspirations, no snowballs, no chalet, no gifts, no fun! There was nothing about the event that was whimsical or romantic or anything that fit the holiday at all. It was just, "Wow, I sure am glad I'm finished grinding those Winter Event missions. So what's next? Oh. Joy. More grinding."

What is the worst that could happen? Well, as of now, you walk in, talk to the guy, and walk out as your PvP safety timer goes out. Later on, maybe some jerk might TP-Foe you away from safety and kill you (I assume you won't struggle). Your 'discomfort' is a small walk out of the hospital and out of the zone. Waste of time for you? maybe, but you get a pinch of exp.

Er, do you realize how bizarre that sounds? "The mish is no big deal, just come into the zone and get pounded on for no good reason."

Over and over I hear that the intro mish is nothing to worry about. Except...

If you are like a friend of mine who takes two or three minutes to zone when her laptop is acting up. I've seen her take so long to become 'conscious' that she could be dead and the griefers already gotten tired of insulting her and moved on before she became aware of her surroundings.

If you don't know exactly where the contact is because there is a crowd of people standing around.

If you want to take the time to actually *read* the information. Remember, the PvPers keep stressing that people don't have to take the offered mission. But how am I supposed to know that if I don't get a chance to read it carefully?

If you get a griefer who is not merely content to TP you out of the safe zone and kill you, but sends you into mobs who give you debt when they kill you.

Or if the same griefer likes doing it over and over and over...

So yes, I think forcing players into the PvP zones *is* a big deal. The devs could have put the contact next to the transport helicopters in the PvE zones just as easily, and then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

I think if you can't get your SG members to wear their SG costume..then maybe they are not cut out for an SG. I mean....I earned 3k prestige just last night doing a few missions...many people in my SG have around 10k now.

They don't even have to change their costume colors if they don't want to. After all, the player chooses which parts of their costume to recolor for SG mode. I have a toon where the only difference between her regular and SG costumes is the symbol on her chest.
