Just had a notion that we should give Funcom a clear and easily understood assessment of the “Sacred Hunt Event”. Scale is the usual 0-5 stars with 5 being best, 1 being worst, and 0 being equal to not having participated (by choice or by uncontrollable circumstances). Feel free to leave comments if you like.
Edit; Yes, this is about what you thought of and/or how you liked the event.
So just to check, as I am a little confused. Are you asking us to rate how much we like the Event? What exactly are we rating it on?
Yes. I’ll update to make that more clear.
I don’t really feel qualified to rate things such as this. I have no events in other games to compare it to nor do I have any idea how limited the CE devs are in what they can do or how difficult it is.
To just shoot from the hip there are some aspects I like and some I don’t. Averaging those out I would personally give it 3.5 overall.
I haven’t even done it yet. I got nothing to base it on other than the overpriced recipes.
I’m staying out of this since I play exclusively single player private. I can always just admin what I want with no problems. However since official servers can’t do this I feel this poll is more for them.
Didn’t last long enough to decide.
I like the event and theme, but “invisible” bug and because it is timed event bring down raiting.
They problem I have is what is an event? Witchhunt was labeled an event. This is better than witchhunt or blowback however the siege is an event as well as Kurak, right? This isn’t the same caliber.
It’s alright. Overall enjoyable IMO, and it gives us something else to do. But the time we have to do it is way too short and the rewards seem to only be available during the event.
All that stuff you can purchase for fangs, the werebear follower, there’s currently no apparent way to acquire them after the event since the ambushes will presumably stop at that point. And none of it is tied to your account as far as I know, so if you start a new character later it’s all gone for good.
I know they said the event will return at a later date, but there’s still the questions of how much later, how often it’s going to happen if it’s going to keep happening, and for how long will it keep reappearing. Everything about it just feels way to transitory at the moment.
I like the idea and the setup, i also like the rewards.
I like that you can cancel the hunt, if you dont like getting attacked at night.
What i don´t like is the number of fangs you have to pay for the items and recipes at the trader.
It´s grindy and repetitive and i get bored after 2 rounds and need to do something else…
And since i play on more then 1 server i have to repeat that for every character…which is tedious.
And now i have only until 15th of April to get as much done as possible while still waiting for the hotfix since i cant join on of my servers without crashing.
So - 3 Points from me - awesome idea, nice backgroundstory, i personally love the rewards, but way way to grindy especially if you play on more than 1 server.
And now it got cancelled for who knows how long… 
Im big on anything that stealth in at night and try to kill me or steal my treasure like them thieves in the purge. 
The event itself is nice. The fact that it lasted only 2 weeks, especially with the game in a broken state and so, unplayable for some, is not.
For once there are couple of rewards that are actually nice, usually the events reward you with nothing. But that being said, this one is WAY too grindy. I thought that completing the hunt once would get me enough to buy even something from the trader but no. I’d have to play only Conan and the event if i want the only interesting thing, the regalia. So it seems that the event is for those who are online, well… always.
I’m not going to run around the map over and over again wasting time since the hunt doesn’t reward you with that many fangs so i’ll just kill the panther as many times as i can and try to reach the 1000.
So in conclusion, the rewards are better than ever before so i gave the event a star for that but having to repeat the process a hundred times is way too much.
No way to rate it with a single rating. The fight are good, simple, but good. The fact that they reuse the fortress is great.
On the other side, the grind is horrible, the rewards are way overpriced. And the fact that the event is so short make this much worse.
The event is way too short and the trade items cost too many fangs.
I ran the Sacred Hunt to figure out how much it costs to do a set (3x bosses and Champ) and what’s my fang profit.
I was able to do all three bosses and champ with one warpaint.
It cost me 31 fangs to do the 3 bosses. ( 1 fang for Wapraint, 30 fangs for 3 lures).
The bosses dropped:
19 fangs Mammoth
15 fangs Rhino
20 fangs Panther
54 Total fangs earned.
Champ Boss costed 3 fangs for ther Hunt Potion. And 10 fangs for the lure.
The Champ Boss dropped 41 fangs.
95 fangs gained
44 fangs expenses
51 fangs TOTAL EARNED
To buy the Beastail Regalia for 1000 fangs, I will have to rinse and repeat killing 3 bosses and 1 champ 20 times for 1020 fangs.
This is unreasonable expectation for players to do and for the time available for this event.
I cranked it out pretty fast.
The trick is to not go for the lures that take time to decay.
Also, this event is pretty much not worth it on PVP servers that constantly wipe.
But on RP servers that wipe less frequently, this event is actually prett cool.
