load the mortars, sure easily said but they only 'spawn' once ever minute it seems and there are 6 people camped on each one... nice job

edit: 3 minutes after the 5 people fight over it, for it to spawn again?

    ^^^This!^^^ I mean one strike after another with these events. WTF?

    Can we please get the cooldown on mortars reduced? To 10-15 secs. The 2 min. timer now is causing 2-3 people at least to camp on top of each mortar with more trying to ninja 1. It's taking 20-30 mins to complete this quest for a event that should be enjoyable but has turned in to a stress fest fighting over who gets to click the sparkles...

    Why not just allow you to walk up to the mortar and click on it, why make you wait? I mean is sitting there waiting for something... fun? At least add 6 more mortars and reduce the cool down time. I think the max in a instant is about 40, that is a LOT of people who could all be possibly waiting for a cool down.

    As I said in another thread, what this load tested?

    I was getting a 3 minute cooldown, and on one character I stood there for 25 minutes trying to catch the F button, as I said on 2 other posts, I am skipping this one after last weeks mess, there should be no cooldown on those mortars and there should be no "gate" on the dog quest........too bad since usually I have enjoyed the events

    They have three-minute cooldowns. Bad design. The event is a neat idea, but apparently no one thought about scalability. If you think it's bad now, wait until the weekend when more people are on. The animosity will be x10. I would urge the devs to fix this ASAP.
