The event I mean is this one. It just started.
Not only are all the mobs beefy, the Boss is incredibly resilient even if you run colors that are stronger against this type (purple).
To make matters worse the drop rate for the event girl is absolutely attrocious. I mean, sure, RNG, luck and all. But I spent some 325 stamina on this (160 and then I lvled up so another 165), and got 1.... ONE drop of the event girl. I am sitting at 9/10 upgrade lvl, and thats only due to having some copies carried over from the previous itteration of the game.
I dunno who is this event meant to be for, but clearly only whales are able to max out this girl. Hell I had better luck with drops on the previous one, and even managed to 3* all the maps in the end thanks to your advice and some pure luck (I often had time like 30:04 and the game still didnt count it as beating the map within 30 seconds...).
Honestly outside of the UI layout, which you can get used to, and the reducing of graphical fidelity and on main hub movement animations for the secretary, none of which is game breaking, this, this right here, the difficulty spike and nonsensical RnG fest for getting a Event girl is what is truly grinding my gears, and one of the biggest things I absolutely hate about this game.
Even if they do Re-Issues, unless the drop rate is at least somewhat bolstered, the event girls will be totally useless. The only good thing about them was that while weaker, you should be able to max them out and upgrade them to a Rainbow, which in turn would make them better than native Gold tiers, but if this is how its gonna be, then... sigh... this is just frustrating.
