Total agree.

It's an amazing set of events. And F2P or hobby level spenders now have a realistic chance of getting hold of game changing Grade V's. That is a real step in the right direction for the game.

Was excited when the events came up, cause have been looking out and waiting for them.

But was a huge disappointment to see Brigadier again (which must be a mistake right?). I enlightened that from prior two guaranteed events and can't justify using my limited number of bonds on a 5% boost to that champ. Have to hold off, it's the only sensible way to use my scarce holy bonds. 

That does mean that I can't do the orb event (no Grade V to use - I might be able to do a rank 7 but that is a huge amount of work to get done in 3 days). I now fear I will miss out on collecting in the Lunar event. And will miss the benefit of the event gives bonus bonds for opening others.

If the guaranteed champ could be fixed so it's the one it should have been on natural rotation, would be brilliant.

One other issue. If it's gone back to brigadier.... so that mean if it isn't fied we'll get the Arfificer and Auger again. In which case we have gone back like 2 months from progressing towards the champs that people really want for their PvP (beacon/fort/hamlet etc etc). That is a nightmare.

The guaranteed event is Brigadier AGAIN!!!

This is the THIRD time the guaranteed event has been Brigadier.

The event had been running for months as a rotation through all the champs. Pretty sure it getting stuck on Brigadier is a mistake rather than something planned.

It's a real shame as it completely nulifies the amazing set of events on (Bond Swap event, Orb event, Lunar and Solo Champ with bond as reward). But if you already did the two prior Brigadier events then there is an absolutely HORRIBLE time to open bonds, which means you might not finish Lunar, you won't get far in swap and as a result you might not have new Grade V for the Orb event. So frustrating!!!!!

If it's possible to quickly fix the event is would be AMAZING and much appreciated.

Following your teams logic, any single champ would also be the most popular champ in the game if they were available for three consecutive events in a row.

Hello! Thanks for sharing your opinion! However, Brigadier was a planned Champion. Our analytics monitor the most popular Champions in the game, and Brigadier is one of them. Nevertheless, we'll forward this feedback to the team. Cheers! 

This is total and utterly incorrect..

I can say that with utter confidence as how would the "analysts" know it was the most popular?

We only get champions at random. We have no choice over what we get. So how can you possibly accurately figure out  what champs are the most popular? What we are dying for but the random loot box isn't giving us.

I can tell you without any doubt that the most sought over champions are the PvP champs. Beacon / fort for people that want to help their league and boost their offence or defence at PvP locations for their league, hamlets off and def for ppl that play hamlets hard and castle off/def for ppl that play castles hard. 

That is so obvious it shouldn't need explaining. Would you want a champ that can increase your total army power by up to 168% or a Brigadier that speed up troop production in 1 of your 5 queues. For many players that will be the difference between a bonus worth hundreds of millions and one worth maybe a couple of hundred k a month.

If you are thinking you are tracking this from training them you have messed up royal.

You messed up previously and ran the Brigadier twice. So plenty of people will have it enlightened now. For the tower that means ranking it at least to lvl 6 so it can clear the 32k floors in one hit. It's also now been run 3 times out of the last 5 events, so the game is swimming in new Grade V's of that champ. So for many it's one of the only things they can train for the orb event. It's just being trained because its the most recent one ppl got.

And if you did it by orbs usage, there is no way you are telling me that players have orbed more Bridagiers than PvP champs. If you did it by orbs used in the last few weeks, then bingo you will get the answer again of whatever champ you have most recently given us.

This is crass stupidity of the highest order. Totally exposes what I already knew, no one left at Plarium working on this game has the slightest idea how it plays.

People are going to be so excited it will be beacon def / off champs next, now we know that it's done by most popular and you guys know what is ACTUALLY most popular. Please ensure the message is passed onto the 'analysts".

Hello, Kings Guard! I understand that my words may seem confusing to some of our players. However, we do have means to track any info we need to run the game  And yes, you're right, PvP Champions are also popular. Well, maybe, you'll see one in the future events 

Sorry if my words are confusing to someone that doesn't play the game and so doesn't understand it.

BUT Brigadier IS NOT the most popular event. Your analysts are misinterpreting the info tracked and have made a mistake. Anyone who plays the game, no matter how casually will know that. It's so obvious to us, it's pretty worrying that Plarium doesn't get it.

I even went to the trouble of considering the info the analysts are probably looking explaining /how they could have been misinterpreted it.

Can we just admit that it was a mistake, it's now been communicated to the decision makers and the same mistake won't be made again? That all players care about, fixing the future and making the game better.
