The catch zeig event is a sham and punishes older player.

So for anyone that doesn't know, the Catch Zieg event just started and SmileGate decided to be stupid.

They made the event worse for old players.

They advertised the Catch Zieg event as having selectors and random 5 star units, Well what they DIDN'T mention is that most of those rewards are for NEW and RETURNING PLAYERS ONLY.

The random loot chests are different between new and old, with the old being worse of course. We only get a fraction of the tickets, the gear is worse...

Everything about the event IS WORSE for OLD PLAYERS. This is unacceptable SmileGate, what the heck. Seriously.

I could understand with the Path of Heir, you are correct in giving more to newer players so they stick around, I could **** it up even if not getting those Hero tickets, potions and slates felt terrible.

But for AN EVENT? The thing EVERYONE gets, and you decide to **** players over that didn't make an account this year exactly or started playing again just a week before ORIGIN update, for the third time in a week, just why?

Old players do get some more charms, but are charms really worth losing so many 5 stars, bookmarks and other stuff of that caliber? Personally I don't think so.

Here's a link to a video by MoriyaE7 showing off the differences between events btw, just in case someone doesn't believe me.

[ It's unfair that, if your account was created BEFORE January of this year, you lose so many opportunities. ]

I'd like to ask everyone on STOVE to make a similar post to mine, make sure to complain about this every day of every week until Smilegate says or does something.

Just copy-paste this post up to the brackets and make a STOVE post, make sure to comment that you also feel this is unfair on every post.

We can't let them get away with ******* everyone over with their events, or they'll do it again and again.

The old player shop is fine, the rewards are really good. The issue is the advertising

Bless. I'm glad to see I'm not alone screaming into the void on this one. The advertising was shitty. Everything beyond not giving everyone everything they advertised and trying to hide behind a thin as heck excuse is totally reasonable.

I'm very worried about Path of Heir being deleted for accounts created before 2025, which is most people including players that are RETURNING for the Origin update and didn't finish Adventurer Path or the campaign, their accounts are crippled. This is a very severe oversight and ruining the Origin "relaunch" of the game for everyone. I urge everyone to contact Smilegate about this issue.

About different rewards, they did this in Epic Dash and I have voiced my concerns before. In this instance older players get 50 less Covenant BM and 10 less Molagora, among others. More gear is good only when it's not RNG, as for which new players get pre-rolled Destruction and HP sets while old players get unrolled Speed and Torrent sets. Older players get 1 less Hero selector and 2 less Artifact selectors, that's substantial.

New players get tons of other rewards: https://page.onstove.com/epicseven/global/view/10686936

Thanks for the Moriya video, it's extremely helpful and everyone should check it.

If you check, everything outside of the initial path of growth or whatever the hell it used to be called was added to path of succession, which isn't time gated. No one is missing out on the fundamental rewards they added to make the game accessible, they're just missing out on the new player goodies that got condensed into the path of the heir.

Missing out on the selectors is actually an issue. They advertised the rewards, and then rug pulled the loyal playerbase, and that's unacceptable. But everything else is fine. The molas would have been appreciated, but they aren't game breaking. That's about 2 weeks worth in the grand scheme of things. The gear is also fine. They aren't handing out god roll PvP pieces to new players, they're okay but not amazing.

TonyMarlowYou don't understand the issue I described. If a new player made an account in December 2024 and stopped playing, didn't finish episode 3 or even 1, didn't finish Adventurer Path, but came back today for Origin, that player is locked out of Path of Heir because what they coded to have it enabled is "account created on or after January 1 2025". They did this to lock out "old" players from receiving any rewards from it again. Players without Path of Heir are locked out of 2 Hero Selectors and 2 Artifact selectors, among several other rewards. New players have a new permanent event with large rewards separate from Path of Heir or other Origin campaigns like the Catch Zieg event. The new Journey of Succession instead replaces old Hunt Challenges and certain Reputation quests. They also said that old players could get the Episode 1&3 selectors again but since Path of Heir got deleted for them you actually cannot. It's all wrong however you look at it.
