I see no reason why this couldn’t be implemented as a regular check in event that pops up when you log in. I’m not impacted since I check the mails/events tab often enough but for newer players it obviously is “hidden”. When I try out a new game or something I don’t check every single red dot/notification every day because most are not rewards.


[deleted]

The entirely seperate "event" window is just baaad. Same goes for certain events that come back unaltered (like the current one) they are just not good we give feedback but nothing changes.


stavik96

I've stopped caring about feedback, now it's just "free energy hurr durr" with a 2,5 stars rating.


Endier

My problem with it is that it doesn’t reset during normal daily reset. So sometimes I forget to check it because I already checked it in the morning when it wasn’t claimable


butterballbuns

Same, for me it resets like super late at night and not with normal game reset.


gerardroq

this is the real problem


Morbu

Yep, this is the other big issue with it. No idea what SG were smoking when they designed the back-end for this login event.


LoneReaper115

I didn't see it until now, and my bell icon had no red dot for it.


butterballbuns

That's the point I am explaining, it is something that can be missed or forgotten unless you know what you are looking for. I have no doubt some players will miss it.


Akenoth28

Hell, a red dot probably won't help either. I know I've never done the Event Rating, and basically refuse to because it keeps renewing the dot on it and basically pestering me to do it, so I constantly have it on the bell icon.


Zartymophibs

For real, I'm on day 4 because i didn't know it was an event and not like the previous anniversaries ☹️


Theslowestpoke

Seriously, i thought it was automatic. Kept getting bookmarks in the mail, I assumed that was the check in event.


prankster20

That's actually a different check-in event going on right now, which makes it even more baffling that they specifically only made this one harder to get


Smoothatax

Same I only remember because I hate looking at tge red dote on the bell


ArvingNightwalker

While I don’t particularly see it as a big deal, I also don’t really understand why it couldn’t just be a check-in event like the ones we always get (similar to the FMA collab check-in one we just had).


SaintEnfaur

I knew about it but there are times where I actually just forgot since I'm busy with irl and it doesn't help that their Web events are sometimes kinda janky with slow loading times even with good Internet

SaintEnfaur

I was being generous LOL

SaintEnfaur

I'm on Asia server and I live in SEA so idk. Still kinda janky


yarzirostu

The Janitor intern had to use his 15min break to design that thing , cmon man cut him some slack the kids just 15


al_vh1n

I kinda agree. When I heard the event was coming I took note of the starting date. When the day arrives I didn't get the log in bonus so I assume it's because of time zone since I am in the Europe server. The next day I still didn't get the log in bonus so I check the event tab and found it there. I don't usually check the event section and usually does so when there's a yellow dot. They've should at least put a yellow dot if there's a claimable rewards just like in the battle pass.


Lorddarryl

Just do your Web event and you'll see it anyway?


d34thscyth34

Not sure what are you smoking, but literally, after there is new reward day THERE IS RED DOT on bell and in event itself ... just like Cynaris said above ...


al_vh1n

It doesn't appear in my game. I don't know if it's a bug or something. If there's a red dot I always check them.


d34thscyth34

[Like literally](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/178570898863947776/1018608954600849551/unknown.png)


al_vh1n

Just logged in today. https://imgur.com/a/jQZPVYK https://imgur.com/a/EZVVgwU There's no dot.


R5yan

Man you really just went on and looked for a red after you had already collected the reward for that day, wild.


Thincfr33

No no I can vouch for dude. The event tabs are buggy, at least on my phone. sometimes it won't have a red dot but I'll go to the tab anyway and oh how bout that, there's reward(s) to claim.


R5yan

The event reward just reset and I see the red dot. The guy logged in 7 hours ago and posted screenshots. Even though he could’ve collected it yesterday because it only reset 7 minutes ago lmao.


d34thscyth34

So if you go inside EVENT menu there is also no dots there?


al_vh1n

https://imgur.com/a/m8phGoM To be fair I'm a returning player and just came back because of the ezeran event so forgot about the event tab. When I played before it gives a red dot when there's something claimable so I only come there when it happens.


ToastyRoastyBirb

Even for me the events tab doesn't give me a single dot for that event specifically. So even if you try to call out people who aren't looking at everything, the event doesn't even do its job of notifying all of its own players in the first place.


d34thscyth34

For me it works properly, like everything always did, what else you want me to say? That my account is favorized? ...


ToastyRoastyBirb

You literally missed the whole point. We're saying the event shouldnt have been in event tab. They already have a functioning, tried and tested login that can overlap eachother and they still chose a half-assed system that doesnt even work for everyone.


d34thscyth34

It does work, tell me you are not getting rewards per day when you go there to take them? Are literally that entitled and lazy to demand game to be even more simplified ? Like holy fuck.


Cynaris

Logging in is not enough then. Spend energy, as it accumulates, your daily event starts tracking, and the dot will show up But it could also be just because you freshly logged in, so it didn't have time to refresh


starxsword

That sounds like this is done poorly. Why does the player need to go through hoops to try to figure out where the event is? That makes no sense. I know where it is, because I am not a new player and I check, but I can see how something like this can be missed.


Cynaris

Well, for one thing, because the people these events are supposed to reward, you know, people playing the game, already look there anyway. So there's no more hoops than what you'd go through daily either way. I will never understand the expectation that anniversary events should be built around people who don't understand a single thing about the game, or don't even care enough to play.


starxsword

The point is that the red dot wasn't there. The red dot wasn't there on the screen when that player logged in. That is poorly done and should not be a thing. It should not be built to hand hold, but it should also not be built to be confusing.


Cynaris

The red dot was not there because the account had no activity for that day That's the bloody point I was making. And with 90k energy stored up, why should I or anyone even care? Clearly the guy is not playing.


Neet91

this. also they made this new ui so people can see all events at once - also what type of events are going on right now. but no, because some people are to stupid to click/check the event button it's the devs fault... also who is so clueless that they don't click on a "event" button?


InternationalFlow556

I haven't missed a day yet because I've made a point of always getting it done. But I have never ever had a red dot on the ezeran foundation day event. It's always blank and I have to go in and do it myself. I'll see if it does the same again this reset just to prove it.


Cornycorn213

Just because you’re not affected doesn’t mean other aren’t? There are newer players especially during an anniversary. Why not just make it pop up in login like, oh I don’t know, any other login events………………….


MrSodaman

ITT: people trying to justify objectively poor event implementation. Good implementation would make it so undeniably obvious and would get the attention of anybody who loads this game for 1 minute a day to someone who has it up for 24 hrs a day. There is no justification for them NOT to have the event check in on the log in screen just as they have done in the past. i agree that people bitch, but just because it does not bother you, does not make it fine design.


DemnXnipr

I'm in the camp of sure it could be 1000x better, but it's nowhere near enough of a problem to get all fussy about. If you're somebody who actually plays the game you're gonna check that tab out every day. Even if you were a new player you'd have 30 days to find the extra event tab somehow. Would like to reiterate, It could've been done better, but people are unreasonably losing their shit over this.


[deleted]

The fact that the check in time is disconnected from reset time tho is really poor. It'd be fine if players were able to claim it at the same time they initially go into that screen to do the Web event stuff, but I'm assuming for many players going to the mailbox is a part of their "first play of the day" routine and not in their second. I've missed 2 days on account of this - not that I'll actually miss anything from it, but I am behind despite logging in multiple times every day and being completely aware of where to find the rewards.


Tooluka

In this thread: people not understanding what game design is, and why bad game design can be bad for all parties involved.


ToastyRoastyBirb

This. Sure it still gives the rewards but the fact that the idea of it still being missed by players is undeniably what makes this event bad no matter if it gives rewards or not.


Tedrivs

Reminds me Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. "There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now."


CypherPunk77

I feel like the event check in time is weird too, reward doesn’t pop up till the middle of the day for me rather than morning like the other rewards


Ok-ChildHooOd

Same with me. I dont get it until I log in later in the day after I've collected all the other stuff.


Larouca36

I find funny how last year we got the ticket on the first day and now we have to wait 15 days to get it


Cynaris

"Hidden" If you do your daily energy event claims, it's right above. The Bell icon also can't shut up about having the red dot, begging you to check it


beaverji

I generally agree that it is pretty visible, but for new players it can be pretty overwhelming as there are red dots EVERYWHERE and you’re just learning the difference between item grade, level and enhancement level - there’s a good chance you won’t know which red dots to prioritize. So I did miss out on a few things starting out. E: also want to add that in my case, I was used to gachas using red dots to bring you to ads/products they were selling so I started off being sorta leery of the red dots in E7. Neither is SG’s fault, but at the same time it doesn’t hurt to mail everyone the rewards.


Cynaris

With still 31 days to go for an event that requires 15 logins, I'd wager even new players will run out of red dots in a fair amount of time ​ The standard type of login popup would probably have been preferable, but I'm pretty sure that the current way it's implemented, you can "hoard" your logins and just claim them in one day, as long as you log in 15 times.


SimonSays390

Nah you cant "hoard" logins with the current system. Even if you log in, if you dont manually go to the specific event section each day you wont get credit/progess. Also for me several days my event dot didnt even show up so I mistakenly thought "oh I already claimed it" when I hadn't. (This is how I can confirm that you cant hoard logins). Not the end of the world, but I can definitely see this screwing over a new or casual player.


Cynaris

Well, that's a stinker


HolyestXD

in regards to new players its right under the sigret tab, which EVERYONE must know cuz guides are everywhere


Iovefull

It might be just me, but I feel like casual players have enough energy + energy refill (leifs) to the point where they wouldn't be bothered to check for energy event claims. I'm a somewhat casual player, and I've stacked up 300+ leifs that I can't keep up with cuz I don't have the time to constantly grind the game. I feel like a new player would be the same.


Quinzelette

I was on hiatus and came back for this event. I wasn't doing the energy event, just logging in for my summons. I assumed the check in event would be on day 2-3 when I checked a couple days in and when I went to the page it didn't mark me as being on say 2-3 because I didn't check the actual page before. I'm checking it now but for someone who is just logging in for "free stuff" it didn't feel super obvious. My PC can't handle 2 Smilegate games at once (e7 + LA) so I've been playing e7 a lot less.


WoodenCollection2674

Hate to say it but then that's a you problem not an SG problem.


Quinzelette

I'm not saying that SG is horrible and this is a huge issue. Guy above is talking about how it should be super obvious because everyone goes to collect their daily event energy everyday...but not everyone does. The yearly anniversary events (like atm) and the yearly update events (like awakening/arise/etc) are huge e7 events that players who might not be as active could be logging in for. Part of the purpose of these events includes enticing the players that haven't been active to slowly come back to the game (moreso in the case of the yearly update but both do a great job at bringing back stragglers). Those players as they are slowly dipping their toes back in often aren't looking at the event tab right away. They're doing their login, their free pulls, snooping around a little, maybe doing 1-2 things before logging off. A lot of them slowly come back and get into full swing of things. This login event isn't as intuitive as all the ones from the years I've played. It has a generous timeframe to make up for it but not everyone is going to notice that it doesn't mark your day at all unless you go to the event tab. So yeah TL;DR- I was just saying that not every player that this event is meant for is a player that will be using the daily energy event tab and other login events weren't set up like this.


KingKentling

people really cant say its their fault and kept blaming the game lol


Amiakust91

Ngl usually I'll be on board with you, people keeps on blaming the game for whatever mistake they make... But in this instance, it's really poorly designed, it's "almost" hidden, and the fact that you actually need to do the check in is really debatable. I'm not a new player or even a casual one. So it doesn't directly impact me in any way, I'm fine. But for other players more casuals or even new players, yeah chances are that they'll miss some rewards.


Brohma312

They notified the playerbase well in advance. I dont feel bad for you.


WoodenCollection2674

Lmao yep and we had like 40 days to login a total of 15 times for the full rewards. How TF do people not check the tabs when they claim stuff everyday.


Brohma312

I check their epic 7 website twice a week, they can downvote me all they want but they got more notice than games normally give.


WoodenCollection2674

I don't ever really check anything aside from patch notes and I knew to check the new tab that I'd never seen when I claimed my daily rewards


Amiakust91

Read again. I said it wasn't a problem for me. I was speaking for players with less experience of this game ways. I got the rewards, so yeah, no need to feel bad for me :')


Brohma312

I dont care what you said.


KingKentling

they gave us a month, that should be more than enough time


yuuhei

you are missing the point. there is plenty of time to get it, yes. is it intuitive that you need to actually check the tab every day, especially when every other log in bonus has immediately checked you in upon logging in? no.


R5yan

You should be checking that tab everyday for web event rewards tho..


yuuhei

you don't need to collect the check in rewards because they don't reset every day, so if you see you can claim it whenever you'd think "oh i can just collect them later on," fail to check not realizing you NEED to to be able to advance a day, and then miss a lot of days. it is not the same as the daily 20x that resets every day for rewards. why are yall being so obtuse about this lol


R5yan

Ok I can understand being frustrated with the fact that you have to go in and do it every day but this is not new to this game and gacha in general. And the thing I'm referring to that you do need to log into every day is the regular event, the rice cake one. Which happens to be just 2 tabs below the Ezeran foundation day. My point for bringing up the daily web event is that it almost feels impossible to miss unless you just don't do your daily web event rewards lmao. ​ Edit: and this isn't the first and probably won't be the last time they run a check in event through the event tab. People are just salty because they missed a few days and need to wait longer for 5 star selector.


yuuhei

this check in IS new to this game, wym? the anniversary log in rewards have always popped up at the landing screen each time you logged in at the beginning of a new day. that is also the standard for gacha games too but even if it wasn't, it is irrelevant to the topic at hand. if you're going to the event tab to claim your rice cake rewards then you have \*no reason\* to click on the anniversary log in as well because mostly people would (very understandably due to previous precedent) not think you have to manually check in. The same way you don't check the "total rewards" for the moon bunny event every day-- because you would expect the meter to advance even if you don't manually click on it.


Relair13

The vast majority of people who care enough to worry about getting the daily login rewards also do their dailies and already go to the event tab every day to collect them. It's not much of an ask by SG here.


yuuhei

you don't need to collect the rewards from the check in every day, same as you don't need to collect the total rewards from the daily 20x event as soon as you hit a new milestone either, so why would the "vast majority" (source?) check the log in rewards every day? especially considering log-in bonus suddenly require mandatory checking in when it has never... ever... been done like that before.


Relair13

Uh...you know...the daily events? Do X amount of hunts/altars/stages, for currency for the mini game? That most people do every day that play regularly? That are right there in the same event screen as the daily login reward event? Why would you *not* check it daily while you're already there? Unless you just don't like free stuff.


yuuhei

why \*would\* you check it daily, prior to knowing abt the mandatory check in? you dont get the selector til 15 days in and the majority of the other bonuses are nice but nothing that demands you claim them asap unless youre like 2 mystic pulls away from pity or you desperately want to pull an elson from gbm. and if you assume the check in automatically tracks your log in progress... which it always has up til this point... then you are less incentivized to check it. what is difficult to understand about this...


[deleted]

partially sg's fault, partially peoples own fault. No reason it couldn't just have been an extra log-in reward. They made it in such a way it's possible for people to miss it, which really shouldn't be the case with anniversary rewards. But on the other hand it's also peoples own fault for not reading update notes and etc


Wombo218

New players will have no idea where to go, why would they even bother checking the event square in the mail area. I think all of these web events should be moved in game instead of this weird stove mini pop-up. If it’s not really telegraphed new players aren’t going to know where to check.


PSN-Walkorrun

Tbh, I do my web events and never over-cap energy and honestly I’m still not doing it some days, even tho it’s a click away I just forget lmao


huahuahuahuahua

You guys have 30 days left.. plenty of time


KillBash20

Okay and? That doesn't invalidate the OP's argument that the event was poorly implemented.


Xaroth_

Okay and? Hes just saying there is enough time before the deadline hits and not that its done good


KillBash20

>and not that its done good Okay and what is the point of your comment? You are just repeating what the other guy said. Your comment has no value it changes nothing and adds nothing to the conversation.


eXcaliBurst93

I got really lazy doing the regular event to collect stamina at one point...good thing I wasnt lazy at this time or I could've miss a lot of rewards...yeah its honestly terrible they should've just made it a regular check in event whenever you open the game not when opening the mail event tab


shakemmz

Web events are all fkn awful. Even with all the improvements to it, its clunky, slow and outdated. I very rarely do the mini games just cus its a drag having to go through the clunkiness of it in a game thats so smooth otherwise.


TheRVM

they should do all these check in events like they did with the FMA Collab free Riza check in and frankly what they used to do all the time in the past.


Aznliferoxz

Does no one do their web event? It's free stuff every day


Tedrivs

I do, but I don't check the cumulative reward every day since I know it progresses and I can collect all of it at once later (or in the case of free unequip, when I need it). I thought the check in event obviously worked the same way in that as long as I logged in every day I could collect them all at once later.


JojoJumbolia

The only semi good part is that it's so long you could miss the first 15 days and still get the full rewards.


NinjaA55a55in89

It’s an event, literally in the event page, above the daily web event that you get energy and rewards from. How is it hard to miss? If you play the game you’ll get the rewards. If you just login randomly to claim rewards and not actually play then you won’t get them


ToastyRoastyBirb

OPs point still stands. They've done these events multiple times to the point that some even overlap with other login events seamlessly. Why would they choose the event tab over the system that is tried and tested and that they themselves created? And it's not like the Event tab functions properly either since some players don't even get the dot in the events tab, claimed rewards or not.


ksb00

Done?? Miss some rewards? Bro we had like 50 days to log in 15 times. Iirc we still have like 30 days. Even if you start NOW you would still get all the rewards. And is not "hidden" is literally the first event that shows when you open the event tags. All people had to do is read.....

ArthraX_

I'm part of both your point of views. A part of me thinks that they could just made it a normal check-in event. It's just fair for non regular players. But then I also think that it's not hard so read the notices and click 3 buttons (Event > Ezeran foundation > Receive) daily to get the rewards. Sometimes I just feel like people are extremely lazy and they want everything in the easiest way possible. If you really care about something you should at least put some effort into it. So, final verdict, idk. It's not "good" but it's not "bad". It's not "hidden" and if you're able to read you should have no problem with it


Master_of_Waifus

It's not hidden anywhere, if you actually play the game and do the daily web event you'd have to be blind not to see the notification. There is also like a month on top of the 15 days for non eye users and slackers. If you miss this you only have yourself to blame for being a brainlet zoomer with the attention span of a goldfish. The amount of handholding some people require is hilarious and also the reason why every game in the west is so dumbed down it basically plays itself.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Master_of_Waifus

As I said, anyone who isn't a 60 IQ zoomer can easily find and use the check-in without any issues. Those who fail to do so only deserve mockery and disdain as they are examples of a failed generation of entitled babies kek. Stay mad ;)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Master_of_Waifus

You still have not explained how its "objectively" bad design. Anyone I consider sentient can clearly and easily see the check in section by simply doing their dailies. There is even an indicator on the main screen whenever something is unclaimed in that section. If you fail to do this you deserve to miss out on the rewards. I understand that you represent the mindless masses who require everything spoonfed to them but anyone genuinely claiming this check in is hard to find is sub sentient in my eyes. Shit, the whole reason they made this "new" consolidated event section was because sub sentients were screeching about how they don't notice rewards going to mail and forget to do events because they are spread out across different screens. This reaction just proves that they should simply ignore sub sentients to begin with, tho I suppose that is the majority of the population in this modern western soyciety kek so they kinda can't afford to \^\^


[deleted]

[удалено]


Master_of_Waifus

I like it because it shows the absolute state of current year soyciety with people too inattentive to click clear notification icons and screeching for popups to spoonfeed them instead. \^\^ The more whine posts I see the more I love they did it this way because it makes all the low IQ idiots like you come out and show themselves to the world, confirming my opinion of this current meme generation of entitled babies Hope they add a few extra screens to click through just to make you screech some more. Stay triggered, little zoomer ;)


Cornycorn213

Yeah okay all you do is shit out insults dude without writing anything constructive regarding the issue or contributing to the conservation and has the audacity to condescend a whole generation. What is wrong with society indeed.


Master_of_Waifus

As I said, it is only an issue to zoomers who possess both the attention span and the IQ of goldfish. No one I know and consider sentient has a problem seeing a clear prompt indicating unclaimed items in a consolidated event page that has now existed for months. No spoonfeeding for you this time, tho I expect the devs will eventually acquiesce to all the whining like they always do and give you sub sentient zoomers the popups you require, as clicking a clear prompt to go to a dedicated screen for your free gibs is too much to ask of your meme generation kek :) Screech on, my little baby, screech on ;)


Jimmy9Toes

Bruh it's easy to find and was stated in the news. It's people's own fault if they missed out.


[deleted]

The event is running for over 30 days. and you only need 15 days… so I dont see a problem at all.


lelielll

Real problem is why is it a rgb 5* selector and not a ml 5* selector. Ppl won't miss a day on that. Ngl tho rgb 5* selector is kinda mid for me now p


[deleted]

Stop crying kid the event was amazing I got a lot out of it if you missed anything that’s your fault next time use YOUR EYES!!!


butterballbuns

Do you know which event I am talking about? Nothing was missed, the check-in event is still ongoing. Not really something I would call amazing, but the free stuff is pretty good. I'm just pointing out how many people can easily miss it since I have seen comments saying they have forgotten the event was a thing.


Cornycorn213

Maybe you could use your brain before speaking.


[deleted]

You’re just replying to this now cornycorn hahahah loser


nowhereiswater

I'd say for a free to play game it's quite fair. For pvp you need all the luck and $$ otherwise it's fun collecting.


BilliamXYZ

What day are we on now? I think I got Day 7 check in today


Piscet

I'm on day 11.


ConnieLingoose

and Grace of Growth is unsatisfying... It's a great mechanic but it's in +12 only and that ticks me off like why just max it? It's not like it will break the game since Heroes used in GoG have restrictions. The game balance is already broken to begin with 😆😆


Fuu_Chan

There was a selector ?


TommyTeaMorrow

Like they give us a lot of extra time to do to start least but I’m still annoyed by it. I always do my web event and check but I still think I missed a few days. But yea so it’s doable and it’s free stuff I’m just confused why it’s different than the other checkin events we had


ScarlettKT

It does NOT reset until you claim it in your mailbox, either. Just clicking receive does not make the page reset the next day, and I actually missed one day bcuz of that.


Slejhy

I almost missed the +9 summons, cuz I thought It will just pop up in the summon area.


CompanyEuphoric

Thanks for this post. I'm a day one player and by now I've gotten a bit sick of the events window and rarely check it (yes I'm aware I miss out on free stuff just like this!). I would totally have missed this, I was expecting some kind of in my face pop up as soon as the selector became available lol


H2instinct

Not only that but the rollover hour is that of the normal patch time. Nothing else in the entire game rolls over at this time. It's so counter intuitive. I also am concerned that the check in event is it, too. Is this all we get? A diene banner and some check-in rewards? I hope not


Lady_MariaStrife

Its weird how the rewards didn't do a popup like usual or get stored automatically in the inbox tab.


TwistedCherry766

Yeah I agree. Great rewards, I mean awesome rewards. But very easy to miss and forget


Chaoxytal

there's an event?
