I had loads of fun during this event. Loved the jp idea, even if I was salty I didn't have more rep on my low toon at first, LOL. Won't catch me with my rep count down again, Trion... Noooo sir. Other than that, the ark falls spawned decently, with the usual lull here and there (usually after an abrupt server restart) which I took full advantage of and did my daily/weekly contracts.
Loved even more the Armistice Elite Lock Box. If I wasn't getting forge, I was getting req (which I desperately need), keys, and sometimes a chip puller (which, again, personally I liked since I have a rig I just threw OJ chips on to reduce my inventory). Would love to see this box come back if Armistice returns at the end of summer. (And maybe cores can be thrown into the lot, too)
And, RNG was the devil it usually is. Either threw me a bone or it didn't. Although, it threw me more bones this event than any in the year I've been playing, I will say that. Definitely cannot complain about *my* t4 mod/oj weapon/jp drop rate (MM actually gave me a sweeeeet oj AR (WITH A NANO!!! OMG!)) While I did get a few worthless jp's to drop for me, both at the falls and from the DF box, they were (free) jp's nonetheless and I did get a few things I've been after. So *I* was satisfied. (Because honestly, even a crappy jp beats no jp for me)
All in all, I felt like the time I spent grinding the ark falls and playing so many hours a night was rewarded well enough between drops, vendor food, keys & forge (mostly due to clan boosts, bless my wonderful, generous mates), chilling & killing with friends / clan / rando's, the chance at free albeit untradeable jp's, and given the chance at some elite jp's from years past. I was never bored, didn't really care that HH's spawned more than the rest from time to time (but this is a personal thing because I was after a specific drop), and over all just really enjoyed the last 3 weeks of playtime. And would be 100% down for a second Arms at the end of summer.![]()
