Same Same But Different
The rerun of the first summer event [Heart of Surging Flame Retrospection] is live on the CN servers, and here is a summary of the main differences from the original run:
- Different "Featured Operator" Banner. [The Summer Guardians] Banner was not re-run, but instead a feature Banner with new Operators, [Unbound Reflux], was run
- Significantly reduced rewards and event currency requirements for the Obsidian Milestone and Capsule Machines.
- No Daily Missions that award event currency.
- 5 Capsule machines with less items and NO infinite capsule machine
- 1 new Story-only Operation.
- Increased Sanity cost for Event Operations but the same ratio of currency drops to sanity spent (aka faster farming).
- Operation progress is saved from previous event run, so first clear rewards are not available for Operations the player has previously cleared.
- LimitedEvent items (Skins and Furniture) in the Obsidian Milestone and Capsule Machines that players have previously received will be replaced by a currency that can be used to purchase items in a special store.
- Players still choose a band at the beginning of the event that will determine the BGM for the event and the conversation rewards from the capsule machines, but unlike the original event, all band furniture will be available for purchase from the Furniture Store for 500 Furniture Parts or 3 OP (it will not be gained as a reward in the Obsidian Ladder).
