I think the timer for the Help Bearnard task should be removed. This is a task you can only do 7 times in a day anyway (or with 6 turn ins because there aren't 28 hours in a day). There is already a daily limit on this task, why does there need to be a timer to drag it out through an entire day and force players to sit in Louise Hill instead of enjoying the rest of the game?
I was one of those "wait for the extra tasks, I'm sure the event will be balanced to be possible without ruining your sleep" people yesterday. I was legitimately furious when I woke up and saw the 4 hour timer on the Bearnard task. I've spent a decent amount of money supporting DV and was pretty excited for the event and considering spending more. But now seeing how poorly designed everything is, it's making me reconsider spending.
