I am a bit salty, since this is the first even that I havn't gotten the max girl since launch :P Just started box 7 and I know my luck on this event is shit enough that I can't pull the last skillbloom :P I am gratefull for the lifecrystal thing, but I prefer just completing the events properly.

Event would be good fun if they either added a few more unique items to the gacha and a bit less junk filler or reduced the ammount of coins needed for the later draws.

The last line here is the key to making the event better. 50 items is a lot to burn through (since there will be players who burn through most/all of those before getting the bloom item), so any of these suggestions would have made it a lot easier on people. Either make the grind more rewarding (1st option) or make there less grind to it (2nd and 3rd options) and I think a fair number of people would actually like the event type.

Personally, I'd cut out the coins (in the gacha box) and the 3*s (since we get a ton of those in our seed gacha draws anyways). Gifts are decent, and the manyus (and later bloom dragons) are worthwhile. Also drop the original coin requirement per pull so it'd look like this:

50 -> 100 -> 150 -> 200 -> 250 -> 300 -> 350

Believe this winds up being like half the grind or so. Due to the reissue events running alongside the main one, as well as regular grinding, we need less grinding required in our main events.

Actually like the Gacha idea for the event. First 4 resets had early chances of getting the skill and dressblooms. You can reset quickly because you didn't need the other stuff until 6th and 7th reset where you can get better stuff but needed to spin it more because it had a lower chance.

To me, it took less grinding for the coins compared to grinding for 2,000 tickets/papers/fireworks for a complete Flower Knight Girl.

And now imagine that RNG decided you won't be getting your dress/skillbloom till you exhaust an ENTIRE box full of that random junk in your first, second, third, etc resets. Fun? :p

Also, chances seems to be uniform 1/(remaining_item_count) to pull any one item out of it, no matter what.

Yeah I had good luck on my 2nd, 5th and 7th attempts. 1st used up 30/50, 3rd 45/50 while 4th and 6th were around the 25-35/50 marks.

Based on those figures and what many others people said I really think that the chance of getting the skill/dress bloom was the same no matter which reset you were in.

At the very least, I am not using FGs to draw the gacha.

It is like normal gacha but with better overall contents inside the gacha.

There is no real reason to complain about in this event, unless you have low stamina due to lower leveled and your playtimes. This is better than Mirabilis event where collecting fireworks only is a chore(low rate of fireworks).

First paragraph is false (except your opinion in the first sentence). It was entirely random, you fell on the luckier end of the spectrum. Many players went through 40+ items in at least 2 of the first 5 boxes, which were chock full of junk. Furthermore, if you got unlucky in boxes 3-7 (6 and 7 to a lesser extent due to more actually useful stuff there), you could be grinding a long time due to increasing coin costs. The item grinds are annoying, but they are at least reliable even if your luck is shoddy. The suggestions noted by Drynix and myself would have eased the pain for a great many players.

Seriously, people.

Pretty much my thoughts. If you bought the ticket, that means you already know which girl you want, whats the point in delaing the draw.
It feels to me more like that person did not know about that fact, and thought he can save it for later releases.
Trying to trick the trickster, just to get tricked in return... how fitting heh

With event girl placed into exchange center like this, the girl should always be the first purchase. You can always get a skill by purchasing a skillbloom, but whats the point in having bunch of skill/dressblooms and no girl to give them to. Facepalm is not enough for situations like this.

The one caveat for the 6* ticket is if you were almost to 50 FGs and were going to draw, and see if you got a 6* (and thus would change your pick) but that's still sketchy IMO. Not trading for the event girl first and blooms after is just plain silly to me. ESPECIALLY skillblooms (since those can be replaced with the Life Crystal traded ones if needed)

Agreed tho with the chance of getting a 6* from Gacha and then the number of 6*s to choose from the chances that you would get a dupe is extremely low. As for event girls, I always go girl 1st then dress blooms then skill blooms for the very reasons you have mentioned. It's just common sense really.

I have to wonder why you don't simply get her in the first place. "

My box was full, and I didn't want to use FG to expand. I had 6 Dress/Skillblooms mucking up the box. I don't even know what to do with them now.

Furthermore, she should still be available. I check the dates on these things, and I don't think it said "11/27." I COULD be wrong.
To compound matters...that Gacha is still available. Why would one half of it still be operational?? Doesn't make sense.

EDIT- And I remember Halloween stuff being there a good deal after the Halloween event ended, because I wanted to do the next event, and it still said something like "60 pumpkins." Who cares about pumpkins, that event is OVER. This is the only time its done something like this. I have every Event girl, I know how the game works. Usually (apparently).
