Event: "Galaxy Wars: Purity"

Type: Guild Conquest

-

To sum it up: Great concept, horrible execution.

Too many major bugs


 * If you let your highest level Virgo (Fallen) escape and then beat a lower one, that highest level might not come back. Instead, the next one is that highest level +1; the highest level can only come back through a random low-level encounter. People have lost rewards, including the daemon cards, this way; my guild lost Piston N. Gynn, and we were lucky to find and beat a random level 25 Fallen later on.


 * ... not all of the regular rewards showed up. I personally never received any of the candy, and I suspect I'm missing a lot of silver as well, and I've only received one each of the magatamas for Occult Mask, Socrates, and Piston N. Gynn.


 * On the flip side, if multiple people went and dealt the last blow to the Fallen at the same time, the rewards would multiply for people.


 * Or, sometimes, the rewards would multiply out of proportion regardless of how many people dealt the last blow.


 * That found-Divina-Virgo-but-cannot-battle-her bug frustrated a lot of people.


 * The guild system announcements were sometimes buggy regarding who got Virgo.

The good stuff


 * Hey, more Anima! xD Piston N. Gynn is a pretty decent defender even though he's only a reducer (and if all of his magatamas actually showed up, he'd be even better), and Arcade Hermione is really nice. And don't forget about Occult Mask: she's great for beginners (and, again, better if all of her magatamas actually showed up).


 * Guilds get a chance to bond more and to really try to help each other. If you didn't like this event because you joined a guild full of selfish people and jerks who kick you out for sleeping or not spending enough or for being lucky... I don't mean to be mean, but you should probably find another guild because you're probably not going to get anything done in that guild. It's not Zynga's fault that you joined a guild full of self-centered people. (Not that I support Zynga, but seriously: the people who join a selfish guild and blame Zynga for it are rather delusional. I mean, it's totally true that Zynga decided to only show you the search results of selfish guilds to prevent you from joining nice ones... -eyeroll- No, no, I mean, Zynga totally brainwashed your guildmates to make them all jerks. Yep, that's what I meant, mhmm.)

My guild

My guildmates are really supportive of each other; there's a bit of envy running around, but it's nothing too serious (it's more like "aw dangit I didn't get lucky this time either" instead of "why the heck are you so lucky go away").

The guild leader only kicked out the people who we hadn't seen for weeks (and before she did so, she asked us if any of us had heard from them).

By the way, we're a 40+ guild, so there are some relatively low-level members in our guild, but we don't really mind.

We all tried to pitch in when we were going after the Fallens, especially the higher leveled ones, and we communicated as best as we could about when our AS/DS were recharged and when we were sleeping and all.

We're also trying to help each other get Divina Virgo. I'm wondering if she doesn't like me; for all of the Divina Virgo fights I did not participate in, at least one member got Virgo each time. (And no, the system didn't mess up our announcements; no one complained about it in our guild, at least, and I'm pretty sure that I've seen everyone who got her use her as a leader at some point.) And then for the two Divina Virgo fights I did participate in... no one got her. TT~TT

We've beaten level 35 (Arcade Hermione).

tl;dr

Great concept, horrible execution. Too many major bugs, but this event wasn't exactly terrible beyond belief.

I'm really glad I joined a nice guild; it made the event a lot more bearable. We got Occult Mask (though most of her magatamas went missing for all of us), Socrates (also missing a lot of his magatamas), Piston N. Gynn (the bug made us lose him, but we got him back through a random low-level encounter; yeah, we're missing most of her magatamas as well), and Arcade Hermione (no magatamas because we didn't beat any of the Arcade Hermione Magatama Fallens).
