Mitne Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) That's right folks. If you didn't started earning Christmas achievements yet, this is your last day and chance to do that as one of achievements involve completing 20 Slay Bells activities. You can only complete 2 each day and event ends at January 2nd. If you for some reason didn't started yet and want all achievements - start now or regret later! Edited December 22, 2018 by Mitne 1
Frosi Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 To note is that this is for the completionist title that requires you to complete 20 Dailies while the main role for the Event only requires you to do 10.

That's what I said, it's one of achievements which you can't get last day of Christmas if you didn't played all time. I imagine some might get angry over that.
Zolerox Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 With all the downtime i'm not surprised if a lot of people miss it, An extension i wish, but LO has avoided such quick responses for the previous events.

Jazeker Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I like the event, still, if you had a few of these days occupied you'll be unlocking Christmas gear and decals after Christmas , seems a little...I dunno? Well at least those folks will have the goods unlocked early for next year Maybe we can start a little bit early next time around... people want to design stuff with those as well I recon? I dunno. 8 8

See... That's what I was talking about. Day later it's too late and this showed up. I just had guts.
GhosT Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) I find this incredibly funny considering they said they didn't want to repeat this "you have to log in almost every day during the event and play" mistake. Not to mention that some people have work and spend their free time elsewhere. Especially on christmas! Edited December 23, 2018 by GhosT 1

Only the completionist achievement takes longer

vsb Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 it’s an extra reward for people who want to put more time into the game, what’s the problem? weve gone from “ew lol no one cares about titles” after autumn assault to “why isn’t this title easier to get????????” for slay bells make up your mind guys

Im glad for people who can play everyday, salut for them

Raichu Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 I feel like the reward should be grindy, but the kind of grind where you have to put in the hours of play to get it. Not having it be daily with a set limit you have to play before you have absolutely no chance to get it, which is only half way through the event period, theres no point to the event continuing at this point. Daily or weekly limit grind content is fine if its indefinite, but an event that only lasts some days is a bit of a silly design choice. They should try to make people play for longer by making the event itself fun to play.

Chinook Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Problem isn't the grind. It's the very narrow time frame allocated for the grind. If I happen to miss even one day now, it's "over". If that would happen to be the case, I'd just abandon after the second-longest achievement is done. It's not THAT great of an event due to it being so random and heavily depending on things you can't control. The event in Fin is super dependent on the random matchmaking. If you get into a good team, you're all set. If not, well, you're SOL and JWF. And the event in Beacon is all about getting lucky with spawns. Edited December 23, 2018 by Chinook

It's based on easy activities which you are bound to complete always (unlike Halloween ones) so as long as event will be up even the biggest of greens are capable of completing them. I mean holding 5 checkpoints at the end of the round, doing 15 kills or going to tier 5 weapons isn't out of scope, right? Edited December 24, 2018 by Mitne
