Shards 2 vs Pero Colo

[JSensei]

How do people like Shards vs colo? It still doesn't have quite the same bonus for attacking higher ranks. Rank 1 = +2, Rank 2 = +1, Ranks 3-5 give no bonus. This means that I'm now taking on rank 2s to be safe. With only 5 days, the last thing I want is to break my streak anywhere in the event.

I'm also somewhat torn on the new 'raw' items. On the one hand, I'm glad it will balance the last day a bit (as opposed to having to worry about players ranked lower making a big push and knocking me out of a bracket) but on the other hand, it's kind of convenient to save all the temporary items until the end to get one nice day's worth of rewards. 120 victories is hard to get without using puddings/raw puddings in a single day.

I honestly don't mind that it's only 5 days. It means that I'll get another SR in 5 days. Perocolo gets kind of boring after a few days anyway.

So what do you guys think? Does Shards 2 make the event better? Still not as good as colo? Or are you just ready for Gambit to start again... (even though it feels like we just had a gambit event like yesterday)

The 5 days is a pain actually, since to get the 1800 shards needed you'll need to either spend a lot of time (or consumables) or get lucky with the slayers.
I'm currently playing it safe going after the lower ranks, and hoping to get a decent rating through sheer number of attacks.
Biggest disadvantage shards have over Colo is the lack of extras to get from the boxes, which did help a lot.

All in all, I'll probably be able to get everything from Shards, but I do prefer Colo better.

I appreciate the opportunity to get any cards you missed last shard event...but I feel like if you didn't have the chops to get them last time you probably won't be able to get all of this event's cards plus any of the old cards. They didn't discount the old cards very much at all.

Since they are offering old cards on new events, it would be nice if leftover shards from the previous event would carry over, even if you could only apply them to old cards.

The only thing I like about Pero Sharts is the music. 'Nuff said.

I'll be gone this weekend so I can't participate anyway.

Another EPIC FAIL.

I find it a decent event, although the bonus for going for higher rank players really is too small to make a difference if you're gulping down puddings like no tomorrow.

[chillinfar]

Def wins still pointless (no bonus) and shard isn't scaled with ranks. Win anyone = 1 shard. If this was scaled we will see less complains about this event.

And if they're offering a SEC as ranking reward is because they will use us as guinea pigs (as happened with first shard event) or something worse will happen with next perogambit.

P.S: And a new macro thread will appear.

will disappear when next colo begins. Give them to Kurito instead.

Are you sure? I always used the old tickets in the newest Colo.

The PeroColo tickets have always been carried over to the next event, unless I missed some announcement from Nutaku. You should still have them when the old Colo comes back.

If it comes back in time that is...

Can't even tell how long mine have left.

They will expire in July if they have the 5 month expiration that other tickets do. Last "classic" Coliseum started Jan 8
