    I think that the hole place can be 3/4 manned with a 13-15k GS party, maybe, so shouldn't it have been a que skirmish? as a GF my targets get killed most of the time before I get there... And it seems to already have an instance limit of 15... What do you say?

    Some of the 2-3 man icewind HEs are harder than the ones here.

    I'm lovin' the new system!
    It doesn't interfere with other queue systems.
    Unlike all the other Skirmish or queue based Events PvP and other Skirmishes AREN'T DEAD OR UNPLAYABLE.
    Could it be done better?
    Of course!
    This IS Cryptic, after all!
    But none the less, an improvement.

    Who told cryptic we like HEs? Mod 3 was enough, let alone mod 4.

    Do we know if the rewards are BoP, BtA, or BoE? I would really like to know whether I need to participate with all toons or if I can just use my main and a second toon and give rewards to those I see fit?

    I personally loved the anniversary event. These HEs are boring and lame. All I do is show up and watch a mob of 16k+ people mow things down for me. Not to mention the performance issues.

    The new event is awful .

    Another DPS oriented event with awful rewards the only one this worth is the 7 day pack but after i spend 5 min in this event i realised Cryptic is DPS oriented no rewards for DC / TR / GF nice job .
    Its booring another HE where is the fun? When you never i say it agan NEVER can achive Great Succes?
    Nobody will respec her self for this event only to do more dps.

    1 thing is you made HE in the game not supporting DC TR and GF tanking taking dmg healing buffing .
    But this is too much for me. NO MORE HE PLS!


    I played all events call to arms and this is the worst of all . And i find in any of those events some fun.
    The best until now was Respen's Event (hint devs shoud focus on this event). It was fun multiple fun even with usefull rewards.

    I just buyed the horn cuz i realy dont want to do this (from another player).
    But i was suprized how bad is it .
    8 sec 2160 TEMP HP and 1-2 sec 50% running speed only for belt slot and on top of this 10MIN CD? really?
    The only cool thing in this event is the animation of Champion's Battle Horn.(Good work here)

    As a GF, the dragon encounters should be finished with great success everytime. Use knights challenge, kneebreaker and lunge with crushing surge in between. Reflect damage works well too for face tanking those dragon blasts. For the group battles, maximise your AOE damage skills.

    I managed to get it a few times but full DPS, like Luning + KC + AoD, set up. So yes I agree it s a DPS madness. And it s not cool when you use lunging and your target is dead before you reach it so nope not the best event...

    I will not respec for conq just for this event . Just to achive 7 day long Great Succes i have done this for BI hunting and Draconic Set hunting but not for an event.
    And you have zero idea how bad is this for TRs and DCs the shoud also respec for full DPS build for 1 awful event?

    Sorry but NOOO thnx.
    Why they cant implement fairness? For REAL tanks DC s?
    Why is this game soo much DPS oriented?

    People have got rewards without great success ALOT. Around 160 instances with potential of 2 dragons in each. Can kill dragons all day long non stop. Awsome event, keep up the good work. First post to me translated to *I WANT ALL THE LOOT NOW!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!* This event also helps sort out alot of crybabies in zone chat for the ignore list. So double thanks :)

    dude if all you see in an event is crafting and killing then you are wrong we want more then that... like a maze or secret doors or something like Respen's Marvelous Game was, you know when everyone was chess pieces... that was nice that was something to look up too! if you consider this better then that then...

    I really find very sad that they spent certain amount of time working in the whole map, rewards, graphics, etc they also did a livestream and once the event is live for us, after 10 minutes playing I find it so, so boring and so poorly optimized for every class, even the weakest or poorest geared RANGED character is able to clean a whole wave of mob and the "elite or boss" dies in like 3 seconds top. Please, increase the damage of the Doohickey for 1000% then we might have a chance against the ranged characters.

    I like the event (I play primarily TR followed by DC & HR, but have all 7). The encounters take time, and they spawn more than back to back (at times), so no waiting or jumping instances. As usual, the most annoying part (as usual) are the self absorbed, greedy punks that can't be bothered to help with adds or raise others <minor nuisance>.
    Not sure about the rewards yet; more variety in drops would be nice, and the stone does seem crappy :( I also agree that the horn may be a little weak compared to the pocket pet (the only other one I have, but I'd guess Tymora's coin as well).

    Its called feedback what you do is trolling .

    You dont give feedback = trolling.

    Any way what i want is not good reward here and now .
    I want fun and this event for me and some fellow DC /TR /GF s = no FUN.
    Respen's Event was FUN awesome job here .

    My main is a GF, I also get great success in every enounter, but as with the Dragon encounters getting a great success which also i get on every dragon I fight in any of my characters.

    A great success tends to mean nothing at all maybe a garb or one of the blue dragon bone items but on the whole its too many people too much lag and not enough for the time spent.

    As for the event, was expecting a lot more, was looking forward to this but after spending some time in it, its a zerg fest with mobs poping left right and centre before even half the players have got anywhere near them. Its fun for half an hour if that, but there's rinse and repeat and then theres this which is just "oh mob nope thats popped run the other way ..nope he's popped even the elite mobs die too quick, had a dragon last a bit longer than some of the others but on the whole, its lacks enjoyment.
