      Every time I log into the game. It's always 2-4 hours I have to wait for the event to start. And I just cannot be bothered to wait. That's the issue. It's so annoying having these events be time gated to such a extreme degree. Every hour at the top of the hour. Or every 30 minutes. Make it so I know without having to do math.

    Yeah, I'm a paramedic and play these games during my tiny bits of downtime between calls during my 12+ hour shift.

      Yeah, the one benefit to the 15 minute cap is that after 15 minutes of sorting or century road I want to tear my eyes out anyways. They are just tedious, unfun game design, that are tolerable only because of their infrequency in the storyline.

    the dumbest thing of the event is that they give you like 15 minutes to enter and play the event, but if you enter 5 minutes later you only get the remaining 10 minutes for participating, so if you really want to get the highest scores you have to be in the event in the literal second it starts, which is absolutely ridiculous.

      @@craigness4856 its an afk game, where you're basically meant to log in for 15 mins a day. But now pushing an event with somewhat lucrative rewards, that 'encourages' you to log in practically every hour for mind numbingly boring mini games. In order to clear out the shop, you need about 20k vouchers (10k if we ignore the affinity stuff) & thus requiring quite heavy , almost forced engagement. In a 4 month season, we've already cleared all story content in the first month. I literally play for 30 mins, claim resources, auto push afk stages a bit, trials, battle drills, wrap up arena and log off. Its borderline mindless and boring, but as long as there's progress, its still fine. This event is just terrible game design, and whoever came up with it doesn't understand the very idea of an AFK game. So yeah, def makes me feel like dropping the game. But hey, if you enjoy it, good for you.

    Thank you for this video, I thought I was the only one with this sentiment. I HATE anything time-gated, the time windows are awful and so far apart and you only have 15min to take part in the event, I don't have time for that. I think they should've done it a daily thing in the style of the Grimmaw clan quests instead.

    They go against the purpose of their game (written in the title : AFK)...
    Most people chose AFK to do not have restrictive time event, at the opposite of most gacha games. Our goal is to schedule time for the game in our life (playing when we have time or when we want) not to schedule our life around the game will...
    If we wanted that most of us would still be playing our previous gacha games.
    The more I play this game the more I have the feeling they don't know what they want to do, and it might be the reason why the communication is really off and there's no road map at all.
    Like I told them in their questionnaire : they have to chose if they want to do a real AFK game or a classical gacha game. Doing both will piss off everyone because it's 2 opposite play-style, it's basic game design knowledge to do a game to target a specific audience and to stick to it. If it was their 1st game OK, it could have been explained by inexperience. But it's not, they have no excuse

    Yeah, The upside is if you hit one event every day you sill get all (or nearly all) the summon rewards. So it's not too hard to get the rewards. But if you actually want to participate in the event, it feels like Lilith is just giving you a big middle finger. I'm only available for 1 set of windows a day. So I just have to hope I don't miss out on that one chance each day.

      @@Sipalman and those same people will give wrong answers in chat. I still don't see a difference. And it's not like you have time to debate the correct answer.
      In fact in chat you could lie about the correct answer without affecting your score. That's why chat would be superior to a leaderboard. A leaderboard, you only care about where you are. I doubt you know who's above you or below you. But I'm chat you'd start learning the names to listen to, and who is talking crap, and who is a troll. You actually would engage with those people and learn something about the other people on your server. Like if you got 20/20, good for you, but nobody but you knows that, or cares. But if you're the guy who always know the correct answer in chat, people are gonna figure that out. They'll remember you name, and look for you when the game is starting. Suddenly your score will matter to other people on your server.
      And they could limit chat to just your district or server, or just people in the game that you are in. There is so much they could do with it.
      And leaderboards without rewards have no meaning to most. As long as you're doing well you'll keep checking to see how high you are, as soon as you fall off, you don't care. In that chat and the leaderboards make each other better. More people doing well means more checking the leaderboards, which incentivizes chatting, both to get the correct answers, and possibly to troll others. They work to mutual benefit, not detraction.

    Time-gating events is SEMI-okay. As long as it's accessible to all players.
    The scheduling on this is ridiculous.
    Super short timeframes when the events are active, and LARGE downtimes = People will be constantly missing the event and being unable to do anything about it.
    You're now dictating to players that you HAVE to be online and playing on the hour in order to do multiple events in a day = the most scummiest behaviour. That's them trying to get people addicted to dopamine hits.

    The trivia quiz makes sense, however it's by no means cool & fun.. at first I was worried because I skipped a lot of story dialog but they were super easy questions and the one time I attended so far all the answers where yes/true. Also the time gating isn't exactly the problem but the 15 min window is the major issue(once again for trivia it makes sense).
    On another note. I complained about lack of communication(& road map) on the podcasty vid, which led me to pretty much stop progressing in story/afk stages because I felt I had 4 months to worry about it. However now that I'm at the new Primal Lord I'm being heavily punished for not having completed the content ASAP and can't even get the first chest unlock from the Primal Lord because the only character able to do damage is a F'ing support SMOKEY.

  • @lostprophet8888
    @lostprophet8888 3 місяці тому +1

    Just to add a few points to all the valid criticism: Since they use UTC as the timezone for all servers (at least that I know about), the timings for the mini games are also completely fucked up for my timezone. The best one, where you can actually do all 3 mini games in a 75 minute time frame with only 2 x 15 minutes downtime in between, starts at 3:00 in the night for me. xD Better fuck up my sleep schedule for this event! 🤡💀
    And while I think it's fun to do the trivia quiz together with a lot of other players, there would be such an easy fix for this event: Just give all players 3-5 tries per day per mini game that you can use up whenever you feel like it (like Dream Realm etc.). And if they don't want that for whatever reason, just reschedule all mini games. Trivia Quiz starts every full hour, Sorting Stall every full hour +20 minutes and Century Quest every full hour +40 minutes. Every player get's 15 minutes to play each mini game within that time frame, but you don't have to be exactly on time not to miss out precious seconds to be competitive. ^^

    To get max rewards it appears you'll have to hit each game 2 times a day and once or twice 3 times a day - if you want to get all the titles and stuff. Unless completing ech sorting/century quest during the timer counts as a completion, and not just the whole participation. I don't know if you get points directly for playing the games or not, but just off the points you need 20100 to clear the shop, and the quests give 11400. If the quests don't give points and it's all from the point store, you will clear the shop minus the hamster dolls with 8700, leaving you 2700 for hamster dolls that's assuming no other points quests pop up to replace the current ones and the point quests listed are the only point quests we get.

    The quiz is so fun, but if you don't talk to the person at the exact second it opens you have to wait till the next question. They need a way for you to say you have joined and then when the quiz starts you get the 1st question. I also 100% agree, that the way they have the times set up sucks. Have it at the top of the hour for everything, having an hour between events then something like 4 or 5 hours till they come up again is beyond annoying.

  • @RinoaTheOwl
    @RinoaTheOwl 3 місяці тому +1

    In general, I like that they're trying different things. However, I totally agree that the timing of this is awful. You basically have to login every hour so stop doing everything else you're doing. And 15 minutes is too long imho. The sorting and card game are ok, but playing them for 15 minutes in a row is way too long and not much fun. Also, once you have finished the 'point quests' it seems like it doesn''t even matter if you're doing good in the games anymore, because you don't get points for them, as far as I can tell there's no difference between sorting 1 inventory or 30 once you got alle ther missions done. And unlinke other events, it feels like you have to play a lot of these things if you want all rewards, so lots of 'oh I have to login now and then again next hour' and so on. This makes it a total chore and not fun at all.
    Plus, I also agree that their schedule of announcing things is terrible. The windows are way too short and the information they give often ist quite vague (e.g. not talking about that the events announced in the monthly update will not start all at once, that a magic charms vendor will come later or the confusion about how a season works when they first announced that).

    For me, this event is so bad, that even when I look the shop rewards, I don't really feel compelled to do them. Something like "I'll have to sort these items to receive a tiny bit of points to receive 2 pulls...Ehhh, don't wanna."

    The only thing keeping me logged in is the free heroes every X day, the S tiers and celestials. But tbh I might not even stick around because I hate arenas, it’s such a pay to win predatory thing. It’s not even fun, winning a match doesn’t give me any satisfaction… just a “phew”. This game isn’t for me so think I’ll just delete it tbh. I don’t see the point of collecting heroes and maxing them out after months when I don’t enjoy using them. And yeah that event sucks, the rewards are not worth the wait.

    Something else I don't think is mentioned but should be noted: if your server does not have season access and no access to Ashen wastes 2 you cannot do the century expo. Funnily enough my server gets server acess AFTER the event ends. XD I don't know why they could of have all events in Holistone even without the season.

    As one person who always fills out the surveys and is honest and puts time into it...
    I gave them feedback about open world content and making it more like an mmo, and likely I'm not the only one. This aspect is what sets journey apart from many other games in the genre. I didn't mention time gating or opening events at particular times or having it be part of a week long "event", which is the wrong approach. If this system is up all the time and sometimes quests are up and sometimes not, and the rewards are minimal and not tied to some week long event, then it totally changes. My idea was "world quests" like in WoW, which ARE limited time quests, but cycle through and are reset every day. This is not the same thing.

    I think it can be quite annoying to run back to the NPCs after finishing the Sorting Stall and Century Quest Expo because most of the time, I end up clicking on other ppl or other players icon which kinda sucks…. Especially when misclicking.
    As for the timing, it’s technically ok but a real pain to be on time for that event itself. Rewards are decent but it could be better.

    I could do the event at least once a day but truly i am thinking about droping the game because of this event. Forcing to players to play once a day got a new level with this event. Forcing the players to be online at a specific time for 20 Minutes is to much. Thats to much going in to the lifes of paying customers.

  • @ItworksAlex
    @ItworksAlex 3 місяці тому +1

    I agree with everyone, the time gating is trash, completely dumb for an afk game where you connect whenever you have time. The only good thing from this event are the rewards, and the quiz mini-game. That one is pretty fun and could be implemented way better to make it a recurring event on it's own.

  • @NicvB

    The game is kinda dead, at least for my server. Many whales in the top guilds just stop pushing and playing. This event and the reputation event just sucks and wasted your time. The whale felt burn out, the mid spenders felt burnout, everyone. And the question is, why do you still play AFK Journey, if there are much better gacha games, like Wuthering waves recently or Zenless Zen Zero which will be released soon.

    I hate all time gated events, even tho i[m personally able to enter and multiple a day i sympathize with the ppl that just can't get at those times. ppl that can only play like 15 min a day and it doesnt even line up with any of the times.
    Silver lining is that this is not as bad as it could've been, cause just doing the one a day and getting that quest you get enough points for the invites and enough tickets to get all the pulls and souls on the store, so you just need to go into more serious mode if you want the affinity items (and the prefixes)

    The game just have boring events after boring events. The clan reputation is just a daily and who the fk thinks chasing the birds were a fun mode. Its just super annoying to do. I already dropped doing any PVP stuff, just go in to do 20 games a week and stopped doing it. None of the new characters were attractive enough for me to pull, so I just skipped them. Now this event, basically cant do it due to the schedule being so bad. The recent survey they asked how likely would I continue playing the game, I gave it a 2. Dropped massively from pre-season of 8, start of season of 5. Now I want to drop it to a 1. So if the new character is boring again, then yep gonna drop this game.

    yeah, this event is trash. the worst part about it is that they released during peak time when people are getting ready for their summer or going on trips and such. it’s like they don’t value our time. it’s literally supposed to be an afk game. you can’t even properly set timers for these events because they’re not consistently timed apart. so you have to plan your life around the game and let the game play you instead of the other way around. this event is such an f you. like cool- rewards, but why make it so tedious to get them? such a turn off. ugh.

    AFK Jouney is so boring , no new abyss lvl's poor rewards on the abyss, the seasson dont have longevity, i wait a lot of time for a event and get this, like i cant play this in the time window that they want us to play, I would rather have more difficult AFK stages to advance than have these events, but the AFK stages themselves, it's just a matter of staying there and hoping to have more stats than tactics, Not to mention about the minimum number of pulls they have given, being F2P it is very frustrating, because I need copies to advance in some content like another copy of Carolina, but in the last two weeks I got 1 S tier and it wasn't her, So I'm still stuck,this is my opinion

  • @Anakhann
    @Anakhann 3 місяці тому +1

    The game has gone downhill since Soren. I knew they were greedy and just wanted money when they separated Soren banner from alsa. This is the only game I've played where a NEW character cannot be summoned with the required currency for normal banners except ONLY through diamonds on a separate banner? How about you put the character in both normal and rate up banners but obviously keep the rates normal on normal banner so we can still summon for it with our letters. I've got 200+ letters saved only for them to be morons and not release the heroes for the normal banners. Not everyone has money in their accounts especially with the inflation WORLDWIDE. Honestly disgusting path they're taking the game. A month more of this and a lot of players will quit including me.

    I like the idea but it could be done a little better by not having two of the events on a timer. I get what they are doing there trying to do something different which I like. I think it interesting that they are adding stuff like MMO play style and the season system reminds me of it to be honest.
