Event Admiral Damage - Devaluing our Gems

Another total miss when it comes to players and the work they put in.

The Christmas 2026 event that everyone looks forward to has been a total miss again. Don't get me wrong I've made masses of currency this event enabling me to get the most out of the shop (not the second and third teirs as that abyss map is just ridiculous, and yes I know how to play it)

However, I buy the gem bags, I collect them from the shop, I collect them from the water, I spend resources up grading them, but for what?, so you can introduce event admiral NPC which hit from around 80 to 130k damage as standard no matter what gem levels you have.

Some of these NPC have 5 billion hitpoints. Get out of your ivory towers and have a sail around the maps, you will see there are some of these NPC sailing in every map, and I don't just mean 1 or 2. On the maps from 6-50 there can be 3 or 4 in each map which are aggressive, so you can't just sail and do other things without getting hit. Go above the 50 maps and there can be 8-12 of these ships sailing, plus the usual agressive npc.

Folks still have daily quests etc to do, stop with these aggressive npc. And stop devaluing our work with gems.

 

One sad part of this problem was that - during this event - I even tried exchanging my Level 5 Sellsword for the Level 5 Guardian, yet my incoming damage didn't change! Add in the fact I was running armor plates, super armor plates, and lion's bulwarks at all times, and it makes one wonder. I didn't want to use the other good stuff (layered and coated armor plates), because that gets expensive fast. The npc damage problem continues from one event to the next. I'm glad you pointed the problem out here (again).
