This event wasn't something that tickled my fancy as with previous Summer events. The spin the wheel bit or competing against neighbors didn't make the cut this year. However, I was kind of glad that they didn't do the way of the Winter Event of 2023 where they skimped on the moves (1-2) as we get the full three count on advancement. The daily specials offered and their alternate switches did not do me any justice so I had to save all my doubloons for something I can probably part with: 2024 Summer kits that had the Sunken Treasure items I need to build further on my production layout.
I didn't do the rival as I made that promise I won't ever (no matter how many have tried to get me in doing so) do one for the rest of my game playing life. I didn't miss out on anything it can offer, anyways.
However, I do have a suggestion that might make the events in the future a bit interesting: further daily prize switching for diamonds. The first one can be for free. The second can be for 50 diamonds. The third can be for 75 diamonds. And, the fourth should be 100 diamonds. The mechanic of this should not be set for the previous daily specials that is shown in the player's game for the day. If that player gets a 200% attack boost as a daily (from the event game), it should not be offered in the next 3 switches as well as with any other prize being swapped out. This eliminates the possibility of getting the same prize within the same day's cycle.
I will be taking a break from doing events until the Winter one comes. I will do the quests and spend all available currency to ensure I get all that is coming to me.
