Talk:Early Fall 2018 Event/@comment-25289497-20180911200307

I cleared E-3 last night and obtained Kishinami from E-2 node I earlier today (on my first post-clear sortie). My thoughts on E-1 to E-3 of the current event is that these maps seem to be easier than the normal maps in previous events. With last season lacking a "real" event, I expected this one to be quite more difficult. Despite E-2 and E-3 having multiple phases, the TP phase in E-2 took significantly less, only 3 or 4, sorties than previously, there are no huge walls in the pre-boss nodes either and the boss battles are relatively easy. I find it somewhat refreshing that certain equipment have a bonus against the E-3 boss, although not new. Although I have my KanDex completed once again (with the Kishinami drop), I think there are plenty rare ships that drop in these maps for newer players or those who have missed them previously. Many of these drops are very useful ships too.

Concluding, the event so far appears to me to be catered to newer players, which is not necessarily a bad thing. However, I do hope that the EO maps ramp up the difficulty significantly (as they always are).
