Metaverse Champions

Metaverse Champions was an event in Roblox that started on April 15, 2021 and ended on April 21, 2021. The event consisted of four champions (Sparks Kilowatt, Fey Yoshida, AJ Striker and Wren Brightblade), in which their main objective was collecting crates from games that corresponded the champion during four weeks before the event finished, with the most crates collected being the winner. The event was criticized by many players of Roblox, mainly due to being a permanent replacement of Egg Hunts. In tribute to the former Egg Hunts, the Tiny Egg of Nonexistence was rewarded by having 32 crates collected from any champion and toching one of the 11 plates along other players in the game; once the 11 plates were activated, the entrace to the egg opens, in which displays all of the eggs from the egg hunts and touch the white egg in the center of the room.

Why ins't Metaverse Champions

 * 1) The main problem of the event is the replacement of the Egg Hunts, in which was bevoled by many players in Roblox. When Metaverse Champions was announcied, many players in Roblox feared that the event can be a replacement for the Egg Hunts, in which turned to be true by activating all of the 11 plates in the game and going the Egg room.
 * 2) Some games of the event are to be considered to be hard by many players who played it, due to having zero hints, being time-consuming, being difficult, ect; examples includes:
 * 3) This Game is Pain: The most notable case, one of Fey Yoshida's mystery box challenges involves completing the entirety of the abtly-named This Game is Pain. Unless players happen to be experts at the sliding puzzle, expect to take hours to complete this challenge. Even the creators of that game lampshade how they unexpected that ROBLOX would pick this game for the Metaverse Champions.
 * 4) Left 4 Survival: Wren Brightblade's Metaverse Champions challenges are notably much more difficult than others, which contributed to them being in last place as of this writing. One notable case, however, is Left 4 Survival's requirement, which is simply win a match of Rescue. Seems easy right? HA HA HA—No. Most of the zombie team has a huge amount of Demonic Spiders and Goddamned Bats that it's not even funny to the point where the the entirety of the zombie team is hated for these reasons, and you can't even get the badge as a zombie, as the requirement is that you must win Rescue as a human. Some of the complaints towards the Metaverse and past events is that some gamepasses can be Pay to Win towards event progression, but here, even with all the gamepasses, it's mostly pay to merely survive 10 more seconds, and that's only if the zombie team agrees to a truce (which almost never happens). Oh, and that game also doesn't support Private Servers, meaning that you can't even try to attempt to cheese it that way. As in a final kick to the balls, there exists a mechanic that favors current players over recent players, as recent players will only join zombies and current players will be more likely to be human, resulting in numerous amounts of Rage Quitting. Notably, when the Week 1 games were made available again during the intermediate period between the end of Week 4 and the announcement of the winner, about the only nerfs the game received towards the objective was that it had reduced the amount of waiting needed to escape from the map AND a nerf to the Juggernaut spawn rate, but did not address the problem of overpowered infected zombies.
 * 5) Super Ball Battle: The description for Super Ball Battle states that AJ Striker's mystery box challenge is "Considered one of the hardest mission yet!" Sure enough, it lives up to that description, as you have to contend with the gimmick of being using an oversized flail attached to your leg and win the Planet map as a team, and if anyone on your team leaves, they deduct points depending on how much fuel the user had before leaving. At least you can buy Private Servers, unlike Left 4 Survival, and the game promises to make the mission easier if it gains more likes, though consider the massive dislike-to-like ratio it has, it's very unlikely. Oh, and it was originally much harder, as the dev originally intended for the player to win not just Rescue, but also Survival and Deathmatch, though the developer thankfully made it easier.
 * 6) Build It: AJ Striker's mystery box challenge for Build It is similar to Build Battle's objective (see entry above for more reasons why it was hated), but unlike Build Battle, only allows you to get the badge if you win 1st place, and unlike Build Battle, cannot be completed on Private Servers either. This can be rather unpleasant for those who had bad memories of playing Build Battle. At least Build It allows you to complete the objective on any theme, unlike Build Battle which had its objective only done on a certain theme and had an cooldown on top of it.
 * 7) Find The Square!!: Given the lack of incredibly hard objectives early on, Sparks Kilowatt's objectives for the first three weeks were very simple and easy, allowing her to easily obtain 1st place. However, there was an exception to that rule: Namely, the objective for Find The Square!. Sparks' Mystery Box had to be obtained by reaching round 25 through either "Find The Square!" or "Simon Says!" game modes, both equally hard modes: "Simon Says!" involves going to a square that Simon says before the time expires and the players who failed to reach it in time fall to a Bottomless Pit, while sometimes, someone else commands the players to go to a certain colored square, and the players have to do the opposite, and considering that the time to get to the square decreases, it can becomes very easy to mix up between the two objectives. In "Find The Square!", you have to get to the specified square in a limited amount of time which becomes very complicated later on. Oh, and there has to be at least two players currently surviving; if one player is left, the game immediately ends. Needless to say, this can be quite frustrating to complete, even with the Rejoin Round purchases. It doesn't help that the game has a tendency to throw in squares into the mix only slightly off from the objective color, which can throw off people relying on color names rather than the exact shade depicted or who are just in a hurry to meet the decreasing time limits.
 * 8) Teddi: Sparks Kilowatt's objective for Teddi involving completing the entire world 1 to get the badge, meaning that it can take up to six hours to get the badge!
 * 9) Merch Marzone: Fey Yoshida's Metaverse Challenge for Mech Warzone involved ranking up to 25, making it somewhat tedious for players who are uninterested in playing a clone of Titanfall. A later update lowered the requirements to simply rank up to 15, making it easier for players to complete the challenge.
 * 10) Fey Yoshida Week 3 Games: While half of Fey Yoshida Week 3 games are on a normal difficult, the other half are considered to be hard for many players, offenders includes: This Game is Pain (already mentioned on the list), Robloxian Highschool (The mission ivolves finding 12 nodes in the enitre map, in which has no hints at all on finding the locations of the nodes!), Wizard Cats (The player requires to be level 6, in which can be tedious to get onto the level 6), Ant Colony Simulator (It contains multiple missions, in which can take one hour to complete all of them!), Vibe NYC (The first mission consists of finding 20 crystals around the map, in which can be complicated to find without watchin a guide of them and the second mission consists of completing a very hard obby with only one checkpoint in it) and Water Park!(The mission consists fo finding 7 lifesavers rings on the map, riding 4 slides in a specific order and going to a pool with the secret room to the chest with a 4-digit code, in which can be hard if you forget the order of the slides required to open the room).
 * 11)  The event had received heavy criticism from users for a paid access game, Emergency Response: Liberty County, being included in Week 1 for AJ Striker. Initially, the game could have been purchased for 95 Robux until its price was decreased to 50 Robux. As the developers refused to make the game free for the week, this has led many users to believe AJ Striker's team is at a disadvantage. Later on April 19th, Emergency Response: Liberty County was removed from the game selection pool, however the badge still counted towards the total Badge count in the Hub until May 14th.
 * 12) Field Trip Z had been criticized for giving players on the Fey Yoshida team a Badge by simply joining the game, giving players on Fey Yoshida's team a substantial advantage above all other teams. The developers said that Roblox forced them to be in the event, and they did not choose otherwise. This claim was supported by another developer of another game for the event. The developer also encouraged players on Twitter for the game to be the most obtained in the event, saying he would donate $1000 to charity. Shoot Out! and Speed Run Simulator were also criticized for the same reason, which slightly boosted AJ Striker/Fey Yoshida.
 * 13) Certain games offered Pay to win perks such as a gamepass in Tank Warfare, in which marks the crate to help the player find it easier, or purchasing VIP Servers with robux in certain games of the event.
 * 14) There is less items in the event than the previous Egg Hunt, with only 31 items compared to the previous Egg Hunt, with 53 items.
 * 15) Obtaining the Valkyrie can be frustating, it requires luck to find the four shards, as many servers with players that are video stars, developers or admins are full upon joining it.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some of its game are actually praised by the players.
 * 2) You can get a free Valkyrie by collecting the four shards.
 * 3) The prizes looks good for the event and more specially, Fey Yoshida prizes.
