Hi Reav3! Thank you for the response. Can you explain a little bit more about the doubling points? Because the first thing I noticed when I got to the second region is that the amount of points needed to progress ALSO increased. I am feeling right now that even tho I got a new sentinel (wich increases the points I get per game) the bar just got even higher, so it does not change much. I think that's where my frustration comes from. Also, sorry if I sound confused, english is not my first language.

Well that’s the first region u chose. Noxus and Freljord take similar points to get through so the one you do second should go faster since u will have a additional Sentinel for it and so you should be getting more points per game. As you progress through the story you will get new ways to gain points as well

Aren't you directing the event? Why didn't you make this upfront and clear in game? Half the people playing right now are burning themselves out because at the current rate they will have to play litreally HUNDREDS of games to complete the event. It was front page ALL day yesterday and we find this out now through a comment? Come on dude

Edit: Like come on you told me days ago I needed to play through the event for the lore answers that where bothering me, WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THEN?

FYI, every week the amount of points u get per game increases . As you can more sentinels and as the weeks go on the amount of points u get will increase

I wonder how /u/Reav3 feels about most of the playerbase not being able to even see the culmination of almost a year of lore drops and build up. They clearly worked very hard to make this a special event and then they decide that the only people who get to experience it properly are the subset of the playerbase who has no problems playing 25 games a week for over a month.

Not to mention them disabling the ability to complete things in PvE. Locking even more of the playerbase out of the lore. It's baffling. You want people to care about the world you create and then you make it so grindy that barely anyone will get the full story.

I don’t think OP estimate of how many games you need to play is correct. Not OPs fault as it means we likely didn’t do a good job of explaining it. As u gather more Sentinels you gain more ways to gain points AND every week the amount of points each Sentinel gives you increases. As the event goes on their will also be additional ways to gain points.

Maybe. I think seeing a Champion is a big story ahead of time could also build excitement and hype for the Champion. We are also interested in how this goes to see if we ever want to reveal champions more intentionally in big stories ahead of their releases in the future.

Yes their are A LOT. And new chapters unlock every week of the event. They also get longer later as we wanted the intro region to be short and sweet to get people into the event. Towards the end the chapters get a lot longer

Now we are getting into stuff that was and is still meant to be revealed in the visual novel. I didnt mind talking a little about some stuff that was originally meant to be in earlier, but I dont want to talk about stuff that was meant to be discovered by playing through the story

What do u mean you unlocked the first part in Demacia? Like u completed the entire Demacia Region? Or u just got to Demacia?

She is still a little ways off. She won't release with this event

I want to engage in this story but there are none of my character archetypes and playstyles in here. Maybe adding someone like Taric who uses a mace and fights for life and beauty would’ve added a different “color” to this squad. Either way, super rad event, I just have no way in with any of these characters.

Yeah ofc, and we had a wide variety in Spirit Blossom. We want to do lots of different events that hit different players

It's not new, in that she is currently in the visual novel that is in the client right now

It feels extremely limiting that the only ones that can be Sentinels are characters that fulfill a hypercarry ad fantasy. I’m not sure how much of a “ragtag” group it is if it only appeals to a specific subset of players.

Choices were also made based on who made sense to use Relic Weapons. Relic weapons are physical based, not magical based. We also took into consideration which champions it would make sense for the Sentinels to have Relic weapons for them to use

I appreciate the response and I agree with you on most parts. However if you don't mind a little bit of hopefully constructive criticism, I feel like it could have been better if either Irellia, Diana or Riven got the legendary instead of Graves, or if Vayne had more character growth in hers.

Right now both of them have the kind of "eh I don't really care that the world's ending I'm just here for the cool guns" vibe with their voicelines, which I feel takes away from the impact of the event since they're the front and center. Using your analogy, In Guardians of the Galaxy, Starlord has Gamora as the serious side to balance his more... carefree attitude, and I think a lot of the complaints come from people who expected more of an Avengers approach to this cataclysmic event than the Guardians who are a bit more silly.

TLDR: I dont mind that graves got a skin, I think it fits pretty well actually. I just feel like Vayne should be taking this a little more seriously, s...

I love reading constructive criticism. Thanks for the thoughts! It's something I'll keep in mind for future events

This is unrelated but since you are currently active may I ask something: is there any reason why Viego's power is so absurd? Why can he revive a god? Why can the Black Mist corrupt petricite when it can hold the literal source codes of all magic?

Their is yes, and unfortunately this was meant to be a beat that came out right before the event back when Vex was planned to ship right before the event. It's explained in the visual novel but since it was meant to originally be a story beat that happened before the event I'll just explain it here. Prior to this moment Viego was strong but not strong enough to cause a global ruination. He meets Vex who travels to the shadow Isles from Bandle city. Vex fancies Viego so uses her spirit world Yordle magic to greatly amplify Viegos powers. This is what leads to Viego causing a global ruination and becoming crazy powerful. He couldn't do it without Vex's help

I greatly appreciate the post from a human perspective and I thank you for taking the time to explain your process. Your words provide some insight towards the choices this event, but I also feel like some of the things said feel really off.

Skin choices aside, as we know this will always be a factor whether good or bad, the choices themselves still don't really fit what you've mentioned, for myself and a lot of others.

Where Guardians of the Galaxy, Suicide Squad and X-Men work is that there's either a common thread or mood attempting to be portrayed. Whether that's collective comedy of GotG (which Odyssey does very well), and some misadventures being funny, or with SS that all share bad guy statuses that don't play to anyone's rules other than their own. Or even X-Men where they are much more all over the place, but never feel out of place and all come together with very few actually being bad guys.

With the choices made, and yes even the narrative choices...

Have u played through the in client visual novel at all yet? It's like a 15-20 hour long story that will fill in a lot of the gaps you are mentioning here. It will also show a lot of the champs interacting with each other as the story progresses. I think before the event started you could only really see that in the Legendary skins VO, you are correct.

Her and riven were LITERALLY IN SPIRIT BLOSSOM, im not gonna elaborate too much more cause its not worth, at the end of the day you guys just rely on your money grabbers such as vayne and riven. The last thing is i feel you maybe, justtt maybe Reav3 you should actually chat with ppl that know the lore, let me a...

I was actually the producer of the Yorick VGU. I worked directly on that project and love him. I also mained him for like 6 months after the VGU and still play him in top lane sometimes depending on the match up. My comment about Vayne wasnt about how many events she has been in, it was specifically about how her lore and story progression we felt fit very well with the Sentinels

Hi,

I personally love what you guys have done with the event and just wanted to start of by giving you guys some positive feedback, the event looks amazing and I love the 1 year arc story that you guys have gone for this year.

The only "negative" (which could be proven wrong) feedback I have is that I would have loved to see Yorick either join the Sentinels or break free from the power of mist like Unbound Thresh. I want to make it clear that I don't know a lot about the lore/Yorick's connect to the Mist. All I know is that his persona/lore is based around the Mist and Viego so I really do hope he will make an appearance and received a good quality skin throughout this event.

I am someone who plays really unpopular champions (Ivern, Yorick, Pre-rework Mundo, Pre-and Post-Rework Fiddle, Maokai etc) which is why I think this "means more to me" than any other event/skinline that we have seen in recent times. Yorick would be an amazing fit for this story arc. Si...

It's a long event with more chapters unlocking every weak. More characters then just the ones getting skins or even characters that are playable champions (as already seen with the Buhru Sentinel) will show up in the story and visual novel

Vayne makes the most sense and is a good fit, Olaf is one as well, but characters like Pyke are kind of just ??? and he's legit one of my favorites in the game universe.

Not seeing Yorick, or how champions become ruined is another thing. In voice line interactions it speaks that people like Miss Fortune, Karma, and Draven sold themselves and intentionally sided with Viego which doesn't fit the cinematic of them being taken over, or their characters personality.

Maybe the pandemic did a lot more to change how things worked then anticipated but there's a lot of missing pieces that need to be filled or they just seem kind of mishandled or nonsensical from the current stand point.

All those answers are explained in the visual novel story in client. The reason I'm not answering any of those questions here is that I dont want to ruin the story. As for Yorick, well more characters then just the ones getting skins will show up in the visual novel
