I firmly grasped this one character 6 out of 7 times. The claw itself dropped the animal on the way to the prize bucket each of the 6 times and I had no control over that. Whoever thought players wanted more RNG dependent unlocks? People hate claw machines IRL, what made you think they would like them for unlocks in games?
The only animals I wanted in this event were Platypus Blackcurrant (got it finally thankfully) and Chicken Coconut, which of course is on the bottom of the pile for me. I'm out of change trying to get whatever one is on top of Chicken, and I've only got 2 coins left to get on the pass. Really don't want to just feed Nemo Bucks to the machine because who knows when it will decide I can actually get the animal.
I appreciate the creativity put into the events like this and usually they're good. This is a miss though. Give us a currency on the pass to buy characters, and let us choose who we buy. Hell you don't even have to give us enough to buy every animal/outfit in the event. Depending on the event give us a number we can earn just by playing the pass, and then the others we have to buy using Nemo Bucks. But we should always be able to select what we're buying so it's not a slot machine.
