i really cant understand with this company keeps shooting themselfs in the foot...
I really apreciate the events you guys keep adding to the game, the effort on your part but you really should think things trough...
waiting in a full group for over 30 minutes is just plain stupid...
The guys that work for you are what 10 years old? they cant figure out stuff in time of release? or they just put random stuff like this event not caring about the repercussions if the job is badly done because its free to play? or you just dont have responsible ppl in front of the game?
You have great ideas but poor execution, this game has lots of potential, if only you choosed better the guys that work for you the game would be even better
... making ppl wait 30+ minutes in a queue while in a full group is just plain stupid... i cant even remember any other game that does that... and im not even talking about the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> thing that it is in dungeons, when if a person leaves the party we have to disband group because the queue system doesnt replace that person, and after wasting 30 minutes or more inside a dungeon just to have to disband because we cant fill the group is just bad...
this is 2013 and you cant copy what other games have done in 2008?
On topic, its almost 45 minutes of waiting in queue now.... in a full group.... great event...
Goin' on 2 hours now. This is a fail event, just needs to be removed now.

What a disappointment.
First, the event is absurdly easy.
Second, the queue times are insane....the first two times were OK, then a 20 minute wait (even for a nicely balanced 5-man group), and after that we waited for 30 minutes before giving up.
The only positive is that I did get the green wolf companion, but still.....
Charlton Heston was involved in less Disasters than this...

Yeah, queue times are pretty bad. I queued within seconds of the event starting... no wait at that time....short wait before second time...then 15-20 minute wait, and finally a 30 minute wait before I gave up. Maybe I'll try again while there are fewer people around, but seriously....I consider this a failure.
I am also disappointed in how easy the event is, but at least I got the new green wolf companion so it isn't all bad.
Hoping for improvements...

So after second/third/... accounts, bots, and people who tried and have already left the number of actual players is likely to be a tiny fraction of that.
Currently even with the event running I counted less than 2 THOUSAND people in Protector's Enclave on Dragon Server. On other occasions I checked there were was similar numbers too.....

you are disappointed how easy the event is, but you should probably be that you couldn't join or do the event again, as none that I know can join this event now.
I hope they sort it out, I would've farmed coins in gg if I knew that I wouldn't get in. 2 of my other characters still need an item each from there . Well My tank needs 2 too but he's only l22. At least I managed the 2 games early on =/.
It's not Cryptic's fault they are just the DEV's. It is IT Department (Server Engineers) fault for not having the servers able to support more instances running at once. But I'm sure the Server Engineers will put the blame on Network team as they are the ones blame always falls too.
At least that is how it is at my company.

I am adding my voice to the queue issue. this is ridiculous to wait an HOUR for the queue to pop. an Hour...
Nothing can excuse that....
Please get your devs to fix this....

My first pop we all about same level , wasn't ' easy ' but we all survived without injuries . Shure people had to be rescued but no one had to respawn . I blame the lameo cleric . The second time , the rest all level 60 , lets just say I died alott . I did change up my abilities after that fiasco . Last match mostly 60's but one level 12 .. was a piece of cake . So if you want weaker mobs group with a lowbie . OHH and to my first group , I can heal much better now , sorry .
Always easy, if things not going ok just blame the cleric.

I am terribly sorry, I invoked Mystryl wrong I think and broke time itself....
((. . . . . The issue has been forwarded, I am terribly sorry for this. I myself waited over 50 minutes unable to queue. I know quite a many others too suffering from these queue issues with CTA, it really sucks!
Let's do try and keep it all in this thread though. Thanks! ))

We started out with 6 groups in the guild when the event started, telling those that came in to either wait those 7 min the skirmish take and we would rotate ppl in the groups or they could start their own.
More and more guild members came online wanting to do this and in the end it was just so frustrating listening to the guild chat and on TS as the waiting seems to get longer and longer.
Now, with up to 30 min queue, how long will it be when US player have prime time?

The inevitable vitriol this failing has produced will spill out into other threads. Not unexpected either:(
Definitely not an Arc User.

Sounds like a lack of instancing infrastructure, then?

Really??? You didn't see the OBVIOUS sarcasm? huh, you must work for cryptic
2 million ACCOUNTS.

So far I've only managed to get into one skirmish.
Any list of new unique rewards? so far I have seen the Armored Orc Wolf on AH.
