Any player except someone who started playing after the event started can get 1 copy of each girl with no real effort, clear 1st 3 tiles (because they are based on commander level lower level accounts are actually better off in this event) and farm up some pumpkins doing your normal oil dump maps. Really the only thing you will do different is the 24 event missions and considering the first 18 you can do in the space of 30 mins and not lose any girls at all it's not asking that much at all.

I only get to log in to the game at home and only really twice a day, If I can get close to a full clear with that then anyone else can do similar. Also you get so many cores from the actual event that buying 2-3 of the 50/50 deals is pretty much covered even if you do run a little low or forget to do a few days.

TL;DR: While the commander level scaling is annoying, it doesn't stop anyone from getting at least 1 copy of each event girl. This event is the first really good thing I've seen enter this game since launch and I hope to see more.

The commander level scaling is actually horrible, you rank up faster than the tanks do making it more and more diffecult unitl you reach a point in the story where you are forced to grind for silver and gold tanks because 2 star tanks are too weak, but switching to your new tanks gives you a low level team that cant do anything making the dailys and the event horrible diffecult and a even worse grind. My uttely boring grinding got rewarded with a even worse grind and not being able to get event tanks, hell i can barely complete the second tile, and thats only when i wait every 1 hour for my tanks to recover, this isnt fun, it feels more like a job, one that i dont get paid for.

You must have had really bad luck with the factory / free daily login 5* tanks to be having trouble with the second tile. The third I can understand, even I lose tanks on the last 2 missions of that tile but the second tile should be 50% ish of your commander level making it quite easy.

I can make it up to lvl 60 enemies but the amount of metal to repair isn't possible for me to keep doing that. My HT takes around 3 to 4k metal for just ONE of them to be repaired. Its not that I'm doing something wrong don't be so soon to assume that ffs. I can clear all the way to 4th tile most of the time without losing more than 1 or 2 tanks but there are times where i lose about 5 tanks which is costly for repairs.

Also unless you clear the 4th tile entirely there isn't much point in doing it as with 3rd tile you can get the event girl. You DO need the 4th tile if your going for top reward of elite

Dammit, AB...you don't start a maintenance period during the last hour of an event day where people are timing their repair intervals. And you really need an in-game chyron to announce it, not just an off-screen Twitter feed that nobody can see when they're playing.

I only hope they notice the shortcomings with this event and make the following events a bit less grindy and more interesting.

There are ways to profit without raising such paywalls.

What reward is at the 60k level?

Click on the gift box at the 60K level on either cauldron to find out.

Guess I'm not getting either of the event tanks. Third tile is way too hard for my tanks.

Here is a copy of a ticket response I got from them today:
"Yes, we've read all of the feedback so far. The Panzerwerfer (rocket unit) has the same ability as Katyusha. She appears on the event map in the path you fight to earn her. Even though she is strong, she is vulnerable to commander artillery strikes.

The battles during this event are probably more on the difficult end of what was intended, and the next events we run will be much more manageable. We will probably make an adjustment in the final week to ease up tile 3 and 4. But that will be out on Oct. 25th, coinciding with a new character release."

I would prefer something sooner but they do seem to be acknowledging the problem.

Can't one shot her with art strike at last tile 3 stages and only that makes her 'not-so-vulnerable' as you need to make 2 shots.

That's bad idea to make changes in the mid-end of the event, people who already spent cores would get pissed imo.
