Reception[]

Aquaman: City of Rolantis[]

Initially, 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. Fortunately, all of these issues have been fully addressed by the event developers.

This game has also been criticized by some players for its mobile interfaces for some minor graphical glitches and small interactive elements. For example, when a mobile user opens up the menu, the left and right sides of the GUI may appear cut off. The developers have indicated in their community Discord server that they are aware of the issues and are looking into addressing them to fix them.

Initially, due to the large and detailed map, many mobile players on low-end mobile devices were not able to join the game or play it for an extended period of time, but this has also since been addressed by the event developers by cutting off a more-or-less empty portion of the map. Also in general, optimizing the map and scripts. The game now runs fine on low-end devices.

Notably, the developers have been active in collecting and addressing bugs and other feedback through their community Discord server.

Trial of Power[]

Players complained that it requires in-game level 10 in order to unlock the trial, which is time-consuming. Developers addressed this issue by giving a 3x experience boost to players below level 10. Since then, the rating of the game has drastically increased. The trial was also reported by players to be too difficult and time-consuming initially. This was due to the fact that two rooms contained too many enemies, and the ending room contained 3 giant robots that were difficult to defeat in single player. Developers have quickly taken note of these issues and addressed them by reducing the levels of the robots in the ending room, nerfing the charge attack of the giant robots, and removing some enemies in another difficult room. An effective way of killing the giant robots is by attacking their legs or going under them so their lasers miss (as the lasers are head-level).

Trial of Endurance[]

The actual trial is pretty easy, which players enjoyed after the initially difficult Trial of Power. This trial is available to level 20 players, which means that players need to level up from level 10 to 20, which was reported to be time-consuming. This has since been addressed by the developers, as you now gain experience quicker when you are below the level requirement of the active trial.

Trial of Control[]

There were minimal issues overall with this trial, aside from how the crabs were reported to be quite glitchy in some servers as they would often move in random directions inch-by-inch after being called with the Horn. Some found the trial itself to be time-consuming due to the average length it took to complete (as opposed to the Trial of Power and Trial of Endurance).

Arena[]

Some players had to wait for excessively long periods of time before being placed on the winning team, while others were able to obtain the prize quite quickly. There were no other major issues with this section of the event.

Bandit Simulator[]

Novaly Studios 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 computer 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 and 2 types of animals that drop meat to fix this problem.

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.

The sharks were not moving but a few days later, the owner has fixed shark issues.

Feed Your Pets[]

Feed Your Pets was seen as having the most straightforward tasks to complete out of the three external games. There were minimal complaints about difficulty. Although, some may have found it too easy as a result.

Trivia[]

This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.

  • This is the first event to have an Rthro package as the grand prize.
  • It is the second movie-sponsored event to have a promotional video featuring the real actors, with the first being Ready Player One.
  • It is the second time DC Comics was featured in the event after Teen Titans Go! and the first of the extended universe of DC Comics.
  • The objective for the Aquaman Backpack in Novaly Studios 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 1, Feed Your Pets had released 2 test badges, which led most to speculate that this would be the Trial 2/3 game.
  • Despite the Feed Your Pets game having objectively easier tasks to complete than Bandit Simulator and BOOGA BOOGA, the third trial took significantly longer to be unlocked in comparison to the first and second trials.
    • The total badge requirement was decreased from 375,000 to 300,000 on December 14, 2018, as a result of this slow progress.
