Character : The Miner
Which Event: Finding what was lost both long ago and recently.
I personally found this event really engaging even if it was a little easy on the participants. I really liked the Mario-Party style minigame where multiple enemies were present to provide a consistent threat while a non-combat objective was being completed, I would love to see this format of 'fight' be present in other events.
I did enjoy the multi-stage fights and pick your own adventure style of engaging with the EC Spawner. It made silly moments like attempting what we assumed was the 'final' boss earlier than intended was really tense and exciting.
The atmosphere of the event lead to really interesting roleplaying experiences with limited communication between our characters which also lead to me actually needing to use my brain to figure out how we should communicate.
The only dislike I have is when an event holds less rewards than the amount of players present. It can lead to situations that feel relatively bad for the player who is 'left out' in most situations or just creates an awkward dynamic of tension.
That being said the fights themselves felt surprisingly well tuned despite the potential gap in party power.
Also I commend you guys for running an event that playing an Armed PC in doesn't feel like trash, I felt actually useful to my team!
Responsiveness: I don't think we ever waited too long for posts from either DM
Balance: The start was a little silly easy, but I also think it's hard to balance multi-EC fights. The more you tinkered with them the better they got.
Storytelling: I really loved the switch up to allowing someone else to come into the fight after they got their shit kicked in for asking the EC to 1v1. It gave my character a moment that felt really heroic that I'm very likely to call back to for important moments in their life.
Fairness: Nothing felt like it was unfair, and if it was 'unfair' it didn't do enough damage to one hit someone or gib them in a really cheap way. I personally really like events where if you go down it usually feels somewhat earned or like you made a mistake play wise.
