Aquaman

Aquaman is an event that started on November 20, 2018, and will end on January 2, 2019. It is sponsored by the upcoming DC superhero movie titled Aquaman. More about the event and the new games will be revealed as time goes on.

Aquaman: City of Rolantis
Many players have found the combat system in Rolantis to be quite buggy and laggy, in particular pointing out how the basic attack animations seem to be disrupted after staying for a few minutes in the server.

This game has also been heavily criticized for the mobile interfaces. When a mobile user opens up the menu, the left and right sides of the GUI are cut off. While this poses no problem to most users, it’s still annoying to see. Also, due to the huge map, most mobile players just crash upon entry of the game unless they have the newest device, but even the newest device versions lag severely and crash every once in a while.

Trial of Power
Players complained that it requires in-game level 10 in order to unlock the trial, which is time-consuming. Also, the trial was said not-so-easy, time-consuming and contains quite a few glitches. For example, enemies will be fully healed if they leave their designated area, which means that if a lvl 10 droid goes into lvl 9 droid territory, the drone swims back to their area and fully heals as a result and etc. The last stage where players were required to beat 3 giant robots, which was reported to be extremely hard, mainly due to the fact that it takes 50 hits to kill (as a lvl 10), and if you die, the bosses heal back to full health. These bosses charge you in an almost unavoidable attack the first time they see you or you attack them, taking away 60 hp already. The only way to really kill these bosses is by attacking their legs or going under them so their lasers miss (as the lasers are head-level).

Trial of Endurance
Mostly criticized by players for being too time-consuming to unlock, the actual trial is pretty easy. However, getting from Level 10 to Level 20 takes even more time than Level 0 to Level 10, and to even be able to attempt the trial, the severely hard Trial of Power must be complete.

Bandit Simulator
Bandit Simulator was criticized for its tedious and time-consuming quests, particularly the pearl stealing objective. There would only be one cyan-and-yellow chest in the treasury at a time, only rewarding the player with one pearl. Following a raid, the building would close for 5 minutes. Sheriffs would also camp inside the building to either disarm the bomb and close the building or kill bandits trying to enter. Many players sped up the process by server-hopping or by rejoining the same server each time they robbed the pearls while the treasury was open (if they had Roblox+ to view specific server pages). Overall, it would take at least 10 minutes to get 1 pearl, totaling the amount of time required to complete the event to 3 hours and 20 minutes considering you stay in the same server.

This game has also been heavily criticized for the lack of mobile support, as mobile users cannot arm the bomb nor can they zoom in with snipers, causing them to have to rely on PC users to arm the bomb for them.

Booga Booga
The primary complaint with Booga Booga was the lack of food sources in the new event-specific map, causing many to die of starvation multiple times while trying to complete the event. There were reported to be no land animals available that would drop meat when killed, and the only food available were coconuts which were quite rare to find since many players had already looted the palm trees for their coconuts. Later on, the map was updated with orange trees, 2 types of animals that drop meat, one being a larvae-like animal that drops 2 raw morsels, the other being a cow-turtle type animal with a stone shell that drops 1 raw meat and 2 raw morsels.

The use of the Lost Sea map itself for the event was a point of critique as it was not as refined as the original map, as well as quite unoptimized for mobile devices. Data loss was reported by some after leaving and rejoining the game, which included their progress with finding caves and crafting the tridents.

Trivia

 * This is the first event to have a Rthro package as a prize.
 * It shares some aspects with the Ready Player One event, which has resulted in this event being quite controversial.
 * It is the second DC Comics event after Teen Titans Go! and the first of the extended universe of DC Comics.
 * It is also the most non-mobile-friendly event, with every other event actually accommodating for mobile users, yet this one does not.
 * This was also the case with Spider-Man Homecoming from 2017. However, it was possible for mobile users, just extremely difficult.
 * The objective for the Aquaman Backpack used to be to collect 20 pearls instead of 30. There also used to be a second pearl chest in the treasury and another one in the church. It is unknown why this change was made, although most speculate that it was to increase the difficulty.
 * Around November 23, it was changed back to 20 pearls and the 2nd pearl chest was removed. It is unknown why this occurred.
 * Before the Trial 2 prizes were revealed, most people believed that Aquaman's Trident was in Booga Booga, as the objectives were revealed a day before it began.
 * On December 1st, Feed Your Pets had released 2 test badges, which led most to speculate that this would be the Trial 3 game.
 * Oddly enough, people were somehow already unlocking these badges without the objective being revealed.
