Are you participating in Cake vs Pie?

Cake vs. Pie is glitched today, can't receive medal or get the status board.

I'm participating in the event, I like the chair.

Main issues with the event:
1. Need to donate to a specific town, lots of travelling. (Sometimes I just don't bother donating and get the default number of insignias by just participating)
2. It's impossible to defend in a high-level battle. If the attacking team just hits the barricade, there's absolutely nothing the defending team can do to prevent them from losing. I like the old system of healing when you're on defense.

I like how everything is instanced though, I wasn't able to get into a single battle last year because I would always lag out due to the sheer number of people on the map attacking.

Yeah, the traveling is annoying. I think they should have just made it into one global donation, and whoever wins gets all the perks in all of the maple world for 1 hour. This would include all the new training areas, giving more incentive for people to donate. I don't know in other worlds, but in Khaini, only once has a town other than Henesys gone into battle since the event began, and Henesys itself doesn't have that many battles each day, maybe 3 or 4 tops. The resetting of the bars at midnight doesn't help either.

The battling system is quite terrible in my opinion. The people should be divided in teams until the assigning minute is over, so everyone's level and team can be taken into account. The current system makes it so that some maps are super crowded, while others have only one person in them, or 2 attackers and no defenders, etc. Even though with this system it's almost certain attacking side will win, I've seen defense side win several times because of multiple maps left with no attackers. That, and as you said, the old healing system would probably work much better.

And battle maps should start from ch19 going down or something. Ch1, Nexon? Seriously?
