Would’ve been nice if this solstice there was some quest you would complete that would give double perk weapons from bonfire bash. When you finish the quest you now can get double perk weapons from bonfire bash. In order to get them, you have to stoke the flames a certain number of times. 10 for 1, 20 for 2, 30 for 3.
That would be cool. I think keeping all event weapons at max 2 per column is far tho, since their perk pools are small and they drop more frequently than other weapon sources. Even with single perks, Bonfire Bash is still great to run since you get a lot of weapons (and can also complete Forge Bounties for double perk ones).
it's not "generic high stat armour": it's the double 16 spike roller. it's the same plugsets as PoH boss, and HELM vendors. your ghost will guarantee a 20 spike with this roller. this roller has a 64.5 average total stats, whereas most "generic high stat" is 61.5. overall i like the direction of these changes: being able to pick up bounties while i'm in the middle of activities is fantastic. having five bounties going in parallel is great. it's such a superior experience it makes me wonder how they landed so far off the mark for (ritual) pathfinder (just as a comparison).
Yeah, definitely should have phrased it differently. My experience gave the impression that it was spiky (and behaving like PoH / HELM), I just didn't dive deep enough into the research. So many numbers. And I like these Solstice changes, it's just a hard pill to swallow after having the closes thing to "armor crafting" for the past couple years. (Great armor that drops like candy, but most people will see that it's different from previous years and right it off has clearly inferior.) It's great for New and F2P Players to gear up, but veterans and hard core have the better "always available" farms with more control. Forge Bounties are a huge dub, especially since the Silver Leaf economy lines up almost perfectly with it. One day the Ritual Pathfinder will get in a good place, I believe.
As one of the only 3 people who enjoy FOTL, I wish they would go back to the Haunted Forest. It cannot be that hard to bring it back into the game. Haunted Lost Sectors are cool, they're okay, but I feel like there could be more into it. I hope this year they shake it up a little to make it more fun. On the other hand, these events are just for reeling in money because people want to buy the cool sets. I would be okay with doing a short quest during FOTL to obtain the armor sets, like in Solstice, instead of purchasing them but, that's just a dream.
That's fair. Honestly I've kinda been waiting for more bosses like a stasis using fallen. Or hell a stasis using fallen trio just appearing as the boss in an attempt to snuff the fire out occasionally I think that would be hype.
Two months plus on and I still don't regret not purchasing this expansion and still have no intention to purchase it. I know its not me that's changed, its the game and not for the good.

Great analysis and recommendations as always! I wasn't aware of how much of a time commitment difference the changes this year made

They need to do the focusing path for those events to get the weapons running the bonfire bash just to get 6 bows
I ground out the armor and got a set that absolutely sucks. Got very good stuff previously. Won't EVER do Solstice again
The way you get actual good high stat armor is by completing the bounties after you've unlocked everything (including glows). Super grindy event
The new enemy type would be cool on the eaz

What seasonal event?
