Don't bother to fix the event this week because we already lost 2 days worth of it. Just use the rest of this week to fix the issue and then just restart the event from scratch next Tuesday
Everytime NC shuts the server down for a patch the event gets reset and the progress bar is empty again. What is the point in keeping it going. I say just end it and do another event we've had before.
This event is giving us tons of heal pots, haste pots, and a whole bunch of stuff that we really don't need. It's filling my inventory with stuff that I just delete. It all has different names than the original items so it takes a new spot in my inventory. The event makes people crash, it gives prizes people aren't happy with, and has a drop rate people aren't happy with.
You're having a problem with member retention and you wonder why? Seriously?
Do NOT restart this event next tuesday. I'm supposed to go out of town next week for the long holiday and I want to participate in the event THIS weekend, such as it is.
The lag wasn't an issue last night on Devianne.
My only complaint is that they drop WAY too many ghp's. I've said it during other events and I'll reiterate it now: event prizes should always be rare items that most of the player population can't obtain through normal means. That rules out heal pots, EWD/EAD (which can be had easily through the wondrous cubic), haste pots, swift attack pots, etc. I mean if you're going to go that route, why not let the beasts drop SP Scrolls, S crystals, A and S gemstones, etc., at the same rate as the ghp? :D
