This event has sparked a lot of angry discussion. I also allowed my disappointment to cloud my perspective resulting in some forum rage. My apologizes if anything I said offended anyone. It was never my intention. This is not a post to continue that mindset.
The discussion for the event ranges from worst to best event ever. In such situations I find the truth is somewhere in-between.
Limit discussion to the event itself and not the four free quests. For all intents and purposes these quest will be release on Wednesday 11/8 regardless of the event outcome. One is not dependent on the other.
Please leave your love/hate for the event at the door.
The goal is to provide constructive feedback. Above all else remain civil and objective.
Participation - As with anything of this nature there are those that wish to participate and those that do not.
Reward - Most people like to get something to commemorate an event. An "I survived Illithid Invasion 2023" shirt so to speak
When posting it helps to provide a suggestion that potentially addresses a short coming. This actually helps put you in a constructive mindset to be heplful as opposed to only pointing out a perceived negative.
This is also a place to provide positive feedback as well for elements that were done well.

- Having the Thrall champions (flavor only, do not contribute to event completion) in non-reaper levels forces participation to some degree. These are not re-skinned champion models. It has been confirmed by many, myself included, they are much more powerful.
- Reaper only Illithid spawns, unfortunately this is a limitation in the game. There has to be away to prevent players, well above a quest level range from running them with zero challenge just to find/exhaust the spawns and in doing so ruining the event for everyone else. The reaper level lockout is the only solution currently. Non-reaper players should have a way to participate in the event. No one should be force to play in a manner they do not wish to regardless of reason.

- As mention at the start the four new free to play quests are not a reward for the event. They are available regardless next week.
- Participation is the reward. To some this may be enough, others may want something tangible within the game, it is all 1's and 0's in reality.

Hunt type events can be a lot of fun. Unraveling the rules and locations versus being told to go to X and kill Y is a change of pace.
Hopefully this helps to set the tone for this post and additional feedback.
