Yep, i just noticed the same issue. I wanted to carry an alt, standard raid didnt showed up, expert did.

Just joined a battle and didnt look at the timer.
Joined at 46sek left did not atk, hoped for a refund.
But there is no refund like in other raids, so allways check the timer xD

A rather high amount of event raids are failing. I noticed that most of the expert runs will hang around 1-4 people until the boss gets like <40% HP and then more people start joining just to get the basic rewards from it.

To sum up, that event is total BS for my opinion

I've logged in twice, spent maybe 12 BP in raid potions, and now have 100k PP and 16 souls. We need about 19 souls a day to max out each of the two soul reward charts. Reaching 3 million PP in the course of typical play will probably be impossible, but 1 million for the SSR eidolon seems achievable. However, if you can't earn MVPs (by soloing or outcompeting others) you're going to have a much harder time earning rewards.

Is not just waiting to get basic, is that raids are not showing up, after request support.
have had many fail (5-6 out of 30ish) to have any join where 2 others in my household on my friends list and union, unable to find the raid, and "request support" has been used.

not impressed at all.

Hmm, got a blue soul to drop from standard blue (silver chest). Odds seem low, but eh, nice to know that it can souls can still drop.

Does anyone know if event gacha has a finite amount of rewards? Like will it eventually run out or is it an unlimited amount?

Just got my first Jorm from it (and SR weapon)

I got Jorm as well, a couple of Gjallarhorns, and 4 more SR weapons. Gjallarhorn will be limit maxed tomorrow at this rate.

So to get all the souls is it better to just farm standard or go for expert for the extra tickets and rewards?

Disapointed with how long it takes to get a 25 ap / lvl 50 summon down, usually takes like 15-30 mins, way too long for this kind of game.. comon its not world of warcraft.. was lucky to never get "stuck" but i see a lot of raids with timer reaching the end..

On top of friends/allies/other people in general not seeing help requests and the battle list not updating correctly, it seem that the AP/BP ratio isnt right, too many people are summoning while BP are too rare for every battle to get backup, usually they manage to copy gbf well enough or even do better but not this time :(

Probably hinges on how reliable you are at clearing expert? Like if you need at least a couple of others to join you, I'd seriously consider farming standard during off-peak hours.

Oh, regarding BP cost, they actually do get changed with the next raid event (Sandalphon; two events from now). 2 for expert/4 for ragnarok.
