Possible pacing issues with Visual Arts event

[misty vessel]

I have been noticing in the Visual Arts event, that the completion level of the tasks has been far outpacing the actual completion percentage of the nodes. As can be seen in the screen shots, at one point, I had 10 out 14 tasks (which equals 71%) completed versus only 53% of the nodes. And this has been true for nearly the entire simulation. Combined with what feels like a slowdown in node completion rate in the middle, I am worried that this could lead to situations where players feel like the end is going to take too long.

Another thing about the pacing: There have been a very noticeable number of nodes where the time that it took to complete the node was between 1 and 2 hours. And this is with a number of generators that felt efficient for the cost to get them. This gives the simulation a very stalled feel.

As another pacing issue, I am currently working on the Moving Images generator. And even though I already have 15 of them, and nearly every node that improves them, it is still taking me at least five minutes just to earn another single Moving Images generator.

My apologies for pointing out perceived pacing issues as I find them. I just realized that for the Digital Revolution generators, the cost of the first generator was 8.0 Sx, but its output was a mere 400 Qa. That is more than four orders of magnitude between the cost and the per second output rate. That output rate seems way too low.

That's definitely a mistake, I'm betting it was meant to be 400 qi

Yeah I had pacing issues as well. Nobody in my race was able to complete the event.

I completed the event with about 2 hours to spare. To be fair, I had been trying to do it without using boosts, but in the end I had to purchase some Darwinium so that I could complete the event. Personally, I do think that trying to complete these events with a minimum of Darwinium usage is a worthwhile thing to test, since not everyone is going to be flush with Darwinium. Were we only given four days to complete this event? If so, that might have also impacted how easy the event was to complete.

So the screen shot with the - 19751 d was the first then closed the game reopened and got the second one. The even is bugged but it does make me laugh
