Oh Duel Links, why must your events be so hit or miss?? The event in question this time is the currently ongoing 'Train Your Kuriboh' event. You'd think this would be an easy event to pull off but as usual, it's not what it's hyped up to be. Let's get into it!
First of all, you are 'training' a Kuriboh that lives on the right side of your app screen. Training means you duel every day and can add a maximum of 300 points to the Kuriboh's life bar. Here is where things get annoying. You can only add 300 points which are really easy to get and then you have to wait a day to add more points. When the Kuriboh levels up to a new form, a new prize is available. To get said prize, you must release your Kuriboh. You will not get another one. That's right - only 1 Kuriboh per campaign and which means one prize for the event. Yeah.... not exactly as great as it first seemed, huh??? To make matters worse, the point levels aren't for one continuous bar like usual. Once you evolve your Kuriboh to a Kuribandit with 700 points, for example, the bar resets to 0 (plus any extra points from the previous bar) and you have to start all over again. If you are working towards the highest form, like me, you will have to amass roughly 6000 points in total to fill the last bar up to 2500 and at only 300 points a day, that will take weeks to accomplish. I think I will get my Kuribohrn by next Saturday or July 28 which means it will take me 2 and a half weeks to earn one prismatic ticket. If the bar had been continuous, I'd have reached it half that time with the 300 point restriction.
My main point is that you are doing a lot of work for not so much. Other events of this nature (going on at the same time) give a lot more incentive. Even worse, someone could not read the instructions clearly and release their Kuriboh early with the idea that they will get another. But... they won't. Thankfully, Duel Links has fixed that with a shortened iteration of this event campaign and the addition of a second one right after. Still, if they had been more clear and had it been done better, this wouldn't have been necessary. Oh well, back to grinding so I can get that sweet prismatic ticket. I just wish the Kuriboh could have some other function like a digital pet or something. Either way, this event needs work and hopefully by next iteration it will be much better.
That's it for this week and I want to apologize in advance for next week. There will be no post due to my need of a break from the blog. I will return to the blog either Aug 4 or the week thereafter. Thanks again for reading and leave me a comment below telling me what you think of this latest Duel Links event. I can't wait to see what you think. Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!! :D
