Seasonals are becoming a joke to run (1:40 seconds to complete)

No.

The seasonal Events are just a goody, something to distract us from the usual Content and give us some extra feats and styles. They should be fun in the first place, not a hassle, which they sometimes still are.

Leave it as it is from the difficulty. If you don't like it that way, make a premade group and take of pieces of your gear.
Or try the other seasonal event, if you want a challenge. It's called Survival Mode.

1:40!?! It takes me 30 seconds tops if at least 2 other people know what to do to end it.

And yes, once we've done something thousands of times we want fast and easy. The first couple dozen times it was neat to learn it, take our time, and just generally enjoy the uniqueness of it. Not anymore.

Im not a member of the fast and easy society, never have been with this game.

I get what you're asking.

I think the bigger problem is the open world crap takes so long. I'd rather pay more to reset the instance than bother with that.

I would take a longer instance if open world wasn't such a bore. Until then, I welcome my under 2 minute runs.

Wow you had some slow burn I finished the seasonal in 1:29

The best time I've personally been a part of (so far) is 1:12. The timer starts the second one person has most of the map loaded, which means 5-10 seconds are usually wasted on the load screen. Then a total of 20-40 seconds for beginning the event, 2 beginning cutscenes, and the end cutscene.

I agree, though, the actual Aquaman fight is TOPS 20 seconds. Shuriken Storm -> Meteor Blast twice is enough to solo the boss in that amount of time at 103/157/2204 Precision; I know I'm not even close to top.

This ^^^^^ In most of my pugs I have to turn the cog for 2 of the 3 turrets because half the group can't follow instructions.

What is it with these "I want a challenge in everything" people?

No

Seasonal event? yes, If it was a different instance with new stories every year, maybe I would
agree with you, even tho most of the seasons have a feat that requires you to stay there to for a bit
and see everything, but why would I want to spend +10min in a seasonal that I already did over
20 times last year?
ATM I'm only doing it to build marks for next year, and I only do because itsfast,
if not I would rather do the outside mission that gives more marks, my bet is a lot more people
would do the same,then there would a lot more people here complaining about the queue times.

1min for 2 seasonals marks sounds about right to the reward x time equation,
and if you have a under level 30toon chances are you will get in group with others under level 30
toons, so you could level a toon to 10 and just do seasonals on him.

1:40. Pretty sure half of it was just the cutscene. It takes less then 15 seconds to the master down and 7 seconds to get the machines.

For frivolous stuff, yes. Not very hard to comprehend.

Here's a harder challenge for you hardcore, try NOT running the Seasonal Event. It's a win win for all parties involved.

Sigh. yet another of one of *those* threads.

Make your own group of low levels to run it. Problem solved.

I fail to see why this is a problem.

Like many have said, fast and easy is only because this is meant to be fun, not hard. A seasonal event is something that everyone should be able to finish, and not be so frustrating that there is even a chance someone would give up trying.

If they made it harder to accomodate the higher level guys, what would happen to the lowbies trying to run this fun little event? If the seasonal were a challenge for a t5 and t6 player, what are the chances they will not kick the level 10 trying to get some feats. I dont want to wait for a team to form looking for whatever role i play just so i can do a mission that means nothing in terms of game progression.

And lets not forget that the Speed Feat for this even it 4 minutes! It is meant to be very fast.

Just a few base items and I'm done with all the seasonals.
So the real joke is, I'm about to be done and you're not lol

1:40? I wish it could go faster! Dang cut scenes.

Also, now that I can one shot the boss so easy, this event isn't as hard as it once was.. Getting to the terminals yourself is pretty simple to do, as there aren't any adds or turrets hitting you. Yay zipline.

magi, normally i'm on your side. but in this case i have to disagree. seasonals are supposed to be fun side things and not difficult or timely. especially when you have to run several alts through (like must of us do). so, i like them just the way they are. if summer takes more than 2 mins to finish i get really annoyed :/

Exactly.

I see a pattern here. Some players like to get on the forums and complain how easy everything is and the devs should make it harder. They are so awesome, that the Devs should change the game to cater to them. Make your own group, respec OUT of skill points, remove some armor and enjoy your 20 minute seasonal run.

My best run is 55 seconds and that including all the cut scenes....lol I think they forgot last time this seasonal was up we didn't have weapon mastery....lol
