My biggest problem with all of the combat ones and most of the gathering ones is that I cant even see my cursor because there's so much going on at the same time. Its like sensory overload. I estimate that I get a reward about 15 % of the time or less. Waiting until there's less people there seems unfair because I'm paying to play something that wasn't designed to be playable by all playing members.

Sure, my suggestion too for those who can wait, or if you can spare a few seconds browsing for low populated words (not necessarily Legacy Worlds), there shouldn't be a big problem.

Yeah, they definitely need to tone down how much is on the screen. I can't help with the skilling ones, but for the combat ones just use Legacy worlds and, while it isn't easy to see, it's not hard to get the amount of damage because people can't use AOEs, allowing you to do more damage. That's the best we can do until they fix their mistakes.

I did it with a nox scythe only, no augments.

Literally just put on revolution with some AOE abilities and click enemies with the most HP.

on second thought this event wasn't so hard, but they should lower the required damage cap depending on the individual players level.

70k for a maxed player

50k for a medium level player

30k for a low level player

Seems fair to me.

The ones I was able to complete without having to go Legacy I did with ascensions and ruby baks, but the main problem is that you just can't see from all the AOEs on the screen. If they'd at least spread the mobs out a bit so you can see and so we don't have 10 people all hit the same area with Magma Tempest then it'd make it a lot better for everyone.

I still think 50k would be a better requirement, or even just saying if you were there for more than half of the event and participated then it counts. Just feels like really bad design when other players can prevent you from "completing" the event. By all means make it higher requirements for the reward bags, but the achievement itself shouldn't need that much in my opinion. I mean it even says you contributed to a successful event, just didn't do enough to get the reward. I feel contributing to a successful event should be enough for the achievement at least, especially when some of the comp achievements require you to do barely anything to consider the content as having been completed.

Yeah , well , yeah , will wait a month to get comp back , as mentioned in previous comments , can be quite impossible without pvp or decent speed atm. Not my pc or internet speed , btw.

However , why is Jagex moving on all this new content & quests & achievements when .... we have no mention , what so ever, of finishing old content ?

To clarify , what happened to finishing off the elemental workshops ? Or , finishing the Pirate Quests ? Hmmmmm ?????!!!!! Just to mention a few ...

Further , what happened to seeing the actual faces of the Jagex team ? Fair enough , covid , however, surely peeps have cams and it can be sorted out via group video discussions and such ?

Heck , any discussion or even job interviews I have these days , is all a cam on me from my comp , sent via whatever means ....

Yeah... I just tried to do my first event. Didn't get enough contribution. It's just an elitist fest at the moment. Total crap. It's actually amazing that they can release updates this badly thought out. It doesn't take that much brain power to realize that applying a flat damage requirement as a contribution requirement is going to make the event utterly impossible to complete on release. And it will be the other extreme as soon as the elite players get their stuff and move on. It will be dead content. I bet I won't even be able to solo the combat ones after everyone disappears :|

Very disappointing...

If they scale the strength of the event mobs to level of the players, it is only fair if they scale the rewards too. Necro salvages for a maxed player, rune salvages for a medium level player and stell salvage for a low level player seems fair to me then.

scaling for flash events is beyond horrible.

I just did one where a dozen ppl had to kill about 50 ramokee in 5 minutes... of course they all died in under 75 seconds, which just made it a total waste of time for everyone who wasnt a mage.

The other things to consider is they are talking about adding new Events and perhaps different time schedule, like 30 minutes instead of an hour between some events.

There are a lot of moving parts. I think at this stage, they are just happy to see players are responding very well to this Flash Event concept.
