So. October just ended, another battle heavy event, and one with its own share of fantasy encounters. Comparing how this grind felt compared to July, even with *so* many mechanics and valuables and factions to juggle... it's a no brainer, October was a lot of fun to participate in. Its rewards cover a broad swath of interests (Crunchies, SODs, cool apps, tons of different decors for so many looks), I completely forgot how much Trick or Treating eases stress later in the event when you're starting to tire, and the battles aren't ludicrously difficult or gimmicky. I was able to use a Roasted Lamb every day, meaning I had to check in more often to use my energy, on top of Rabies capping out energy at 80, and? I honestly enjoyed it a lot, and don't feel nearly as burnt out as July left me. The combination of a lot of rewards to spend currency on, to fit any need really, and mechanics to ease grinding (Demonic Whip/Angelic thing/Trick or Treating) all kept it feeling no harder than September, despite being a busy, battle oriented event at a glance. I'm not saying 'we need FIFTY unique mechanics for a battle event to be fun', no. May is... okay, for instance. But a mechanic that eases pressure is a godsend, as well as alternative grinding methods, more varied rewards (why couldn't the Firefly Shop be turned into a Meteor Shards Shop and keep those natural decors there??) and just... some encounters that aren't necessarily fight and actually interesting (dropping one space rock on my foot is not interesting). And encounters not being ridiculously hard to the point that *statting* is easier. July, *take notes*. (Also sidenote, but both July and June turning into battle events, when we already had October, January, March and May being battle oriented, kinda sucks? Like do the devs not know that these are usually way less fun than explore/interaction events? Now *half* the months in the year are spent juggling energy into fighting, using that god awful and tedious battle system... barring October, it's just not fun. Quit it or fix it, Lioden?) 0 players like this post! Like?Edited on 01/11/21 @ 18:52:03 by Agryo [Private Stud] (#70050) |

Been playing for less than a year, and I’m already getting tired of all these battle-heavy events! 0 players like this post! Like? |

I actually came back for about two days in July. What I saw was so confusing. I just stopped playing because the event was so weird. I love dragons so much, but they could have implemented them into a storyline with the lions. Like. We came from he stars to help or something of that magnitude. I didn't particularly care about the storyline per say. But I did care about how it went down. I skip most of the story line anyways (because I saw it before) but to have a battle heavy event especially when may just happened a month previously (give me a battle event every two to three months in between) is kind of hars. 0 players like this post!

As someone who's been playing since 2017, I completely agree with this. The July event was one of my favourites, gave some of the best decor. Now they've thrown out a half-assed grindfest, that unlike the February or October event where you're rewarded with really good items for grinding, it just felt shallow and pointless, I also can't stand how we've gone from.. Storylines that are more grounded, to suddenly we're fighting space dragons. I hated the Vredefort crater side quest as it was like that, however it was still rewarding despite it's difficulty. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I joined recently, and I kept seeing people talk about Apollyon, Apedemak, Menhit, and Tefnut. So I googled them, asked around about them, and I got hyped. The event seemed amazing and I was really looking forward to it. Then a few of my friends told me it's actually been replaced by alien snakes and dragons, like wtf?? It's a LION game, not a fantasy RPG game for goodness sake. I understand and appreciate the work the devs put into it, but I think they should have discussed it with everyone to make sure everyone supports it. So basically what I'm trying to say is.. maybe bring back the characters everyone loves and get rid of the dumb snakes?  0 players like this post! Like? |

Zephyr - "make sure everyone supports it" What? I'm sorry, but there will *never* be a unanimous decision in a community this big. I for one hated the July story line, the super exclusive raffle, *and* all the characters. Good riddance. I hope they get rid of the raffle too. In my opinion any replacement of the July event is an improvement. I am aware I'm in the minority. You don't have to tell me. I also wasn't here last year so I can't comment on the balance of the currency. But anything new takes time to achieve balance. I'd rather battle hard enemies for currency than rely on other players pooping in my den. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I never got to see Apollyon or tefnut or any of the previous storyline, but i looked through the lioden wiki about the storyline, and i loved almost everything about it (Save for the obvious, of course). It would be so easy to go back to that storyline and just change a few things to make it less...the way that it was and more enjoyable to the players. I loved seeing the lions, and it made a lot of the decor make sense. when i went through my first july event, i had no idea who Apollyon was, or why the shop was called tefnuts memories, or what was really going on at all. I'd like to be able to have an event with the characters, and i'm sure many others would to as long as the bad parts were removed! 0 players like this post! Like? |

They said the event was just a "baby event" when it came out. I can't wait to see what it is this year! 0 players like this post! Like? |

I'm excited to see turn-o-the-month just to get away from this dingly darn PVP event! I'm really not huge on June's theme either, but I am really ready for a change of pace. I got June and July mixed up again event-wise and thought that this was going to be the dragon one for a bit there! Personally, I was glad to let go of the old July Event. It felt like a fight of morality just to click buttons to get event awards. A big mess. I wouldn't mind seeing the NPCs reworked and made into small explore event encounters or something, but Good Riddance as far as I'm concerned. 0 players like this post!

i remember playing in like....2018-2019 and starting in july of all months. lucky me! the storyline was pretty great honestly but i figured there's room for improvement. i miss my fellas apollyon and menhit ): i dont mind that apedemak was uh. ungodly unhinged. to put it lightly. but putting incest and rape in the storyline without like any heads up was a fucking WEIRD thing to experience for a petsim, even a 17+ one. yes i know what i'm getting into with a higher age demographic in mind and being in my 20s myself and generally liking things with much darker themes but SHEESH. upon seeing this i didnt even know how bad the july event was considering i hadnt touched the game in years. seeing it compared to wolvden was hooo spicy (only played wolvden for a week and had to drop it. it's not fun at all). when i saw the new july decor stuff on the wiki it just instantly activated my monkey brain because i love weird space stuff and dragons  didn't know it was such a shitshow to say the least. hopefully it's better this year and if it isn't i'll explode into blood or something 0 players like this post!

From the news all I'm getting is that they barely understood what we wanted as a community. They brought the civil war storyline back despite multiple people saying that they didn't like what the storyline became. Unless these 'dialog changes' include removing all of the triggering content or at the bare minimum adding content warnings this is not what I've seen most people want. The cost for celestial explore steps are still 5 MS each and unless they made MS way easier to get I find that ridiculous. There was also no mention of making fights easier, just adding new ones. Also I'm a little bit upset that the storyline rewards are just marking apps, I get that a lot of people really like markings and stuff but I've never been a fan. It especially sucls considering previously you got a mane app and the Astral base. I'm pretty sure you won't get those now and that kinda sucks. I dunno, thoughts? I might change my mind once I actually get to yk play the event but so far? Not exactly happy. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Yeah this went from my most liked to my most hated event. I’m out of shards now because I can’t seem to beat any enemy and.. it takes shards to explore lol. Haven’t found any shards in normal explore either. I love entering the raffle for the new lionesses but that probably won’t happen. 0 players like this post! Like? |
