The Birthday Bash event was awaited for quite a while. Many people wanted to see how it would turn out and what would be added. We got a great event with some not so great choices.
Lets begin with the story. Like every year, the CN characters remake the Gazebo on Pokey Oaks and turn it into a delicious cake. Unlike past years however, Fuse doesnt want any of this, and sends the "Party Poopers" to ruin the celebration.
I actually really liked that this year we got something more to do rather than vehicles and items. Now we got a boss, which unlike the past boss before it: The Ice Titans, is alot better when it comes to distributing items, but i feel like they were given out way too much (more on that later).
Alongside the Cake came some party planners dressed as Noods, a fun way to reference the year that CN came out: 2009, with CNs mascots being the Noods (and the disgusting CN real in a way).
On top of the cake theres a vehicle vendor. This event brought back all the old Birthday Bash vehicles. From the legendary Royal Swan to the XLR Car, theres something for everyone here. They were also at a much, and i mean MUCH more reasonable price, at 20,000 Taros per vehicle for a week. 5 times cheaper than the Knishmas vehicles, which were 100,000 Taros. They were class 1,100, aka some of the fastest vehicles at such a good price.
Lets talk items. Over 70 items were added with this update. An insane amount, all of them event exclusive. You get them by defeating the Party Pooper and its minions, the Birthday Bashers, and they drop special 10th anniversary Crates, and when opened drop these special items.
A ton of NPC like items were added, like the Ranger Commando set. Almost every item here is custom and brand new in FusionFall, which is always nice.
My biggest problems with this however, is that we never got any more bank space and how these items were distributed.
With so many items, people just ended up creating multiple bank characters to store the items. With how easy these were to get, it made all the items here almost worthless in the economy.
Even so i still feel like these items were given out better than the other events. In Halloween there were too many drops, and them being untradable made it even more of a hastle. With Knishmas we got very little drops, making it almost impossible to fill an entire inventory with just Knishmas crates. Here it takes almost no effort to fill an inventory with Anniversary crates.
Even so, theres a ton of cool new and awesome items here. My favorites include the new Focus Blindfold, the bubbleheads, the Ranger Commando set and all of the Fusion accesories.
Another new addition we got was a brand new Chat UI. I wanna make another review for it alone, but its pretty good and modern for a game this old. I like it alot.
Overall, the 10th Birthday Bash was alright. While it didnt have alot to do, it gave us cool items and awesome vehicles. Out of the 3 events we have gotten so far, i´d say this lands on 2nd place.
Even so, the massive amount of items given out making the items themselves worthless, the lack of new bank space and even exploiters who would glitch out the Party Poopers, its not a great event, but its not terrible either. Its ok.
8.5/10
Less items and more bank space or more awesome vehicles please.
