What part of the new Draconic Awakening event is your favorite?

It's a toss up for me.

I typically like the slash & bash of the ToT style events so that part appeals to me, especially since this time around they made it for multiple dungeons / facets and the drop rate is pretty decent depending on template/luck/luck potions/population. This is probably my favorite part based on the return on investment of time. I know I can get X drops (ie rewards) during my play time.

That said, I also like the semi laid back play of the nests which anyone can do. I like that the maps will have Umbrascale turn in items and plenty of refinements. I really wish there was some sort of "auto loot" capability with CC where I could click a button and auto loot all the gems out of the nests; they add up quickly. I also wish it was 1 stack of 60k gold instead of 3 to 4 piles just to cut down on the clicking. This is my second favorite because it gives some stuff (albeit slower) and a chance at a "rare" drop.

I'm back and forth about the matriarch part. On ATL we get to do it quite a bit which is a plus but it does get a bit discouraging when you've done dozens and dozens of them without getting the grand prize. Especially when you see the "other people" gating in their 5-6 toons (named things like ii / iii / iiii / iiii) thinking that I'm going to need to run 10 toons every matriarch just to get a mature egg...and getting a bag of deco eggs instead. Especially since it's a new pet, I think these should be more easily available.

I like the idea of the hidden chests, but given my thief is on ATL, I have the exact opposite problem other shards have with doing a matriarch... there are just too many thieves trawling the dungeons revealing. The chests are by far the biggest grind for me because it gives the least amount of ROI. If I played a less populated shard though I think I'd enjoy just walking around hidden looking for chests with a chance at the "rare" prize.

Rocko

I’m not sure what ToT means but my favorite part is working with others on the server, to spawn and defeat the matriarch.  Least favorite is grinding dungeon spawns to get 1 drop out of 40-60 mob kills. I don’t have a thief/ninja/stealth so chests are out of the question.
