    Agreed, at least extend the event...

    Given DV map was broken, and the timing of the maintenance, this would be a much appreciated gesture.

    ROFL -- you will still have like 2 hrs to finish it B) . Ohh yeah and enjoy to be disconnected on the 5 run (happened to almost
    everyone at least 1x during the event) as it is really great to be thrown outside of the dungeon on reconnect and got 0 rewards! The best would be to finish 5 runs, talk to Nipsy and get disconnected stepping into the portal an getting BIG FAT 0 again! It is great fun. And then try it again and ,,,, ohh wait -- be sure that your 5th run starts close reset time so the dungeon will change on you in the middle of run and you will finish it as regular epic dungeon and you get a great 0 reward again!!!! It is such a FUN event ... not!!!

    On a serious note I never seen so much frustration in any game, including this one, as I have seen last 2 weeks with Tales. WHY are we treated like this? Why nobody read the multiple post of frustrated messages, why nobody tested these dungeons and why you are putting salt into our wound partially fixing it the last day? We are your loyal customers... we deserve to be treated with working and fun contents!

    ~~~STAFF OF NEVERWINTER WONT EVEN READ. IF THEY DO, THEY'LL LAUGH AND SHRUG IT OFF. LIKE THEY DO WITH ALL OUR CONCERNS ~ THEY DO NOT RESPECT US.

    AGREED 100% and then some. I cannot stress enough how irritated and frustrated I am about this! I have struggled with being ABLE to do this event, given the circumstances that are occurring around us in our RL environments....the dreaded C-19 for various reasons.

    This plague has had a negative impact on all of us, directly or indirectly.
    A few of us have lost people we cared about and loved dearly, C19 has effected us in NW too—even taking a few well respected and beloved Hero's, guildies... friends... out of our lives so suddenly.

    (R.I.P, Hero's and friends of our hearts, you are already dearly missed)

    This evil has forced the world to remain 'social distanced' and isolated, inadvertently making the internet just as valuable a resource as toilet paper and food (in that order apparently) :pensive: The internet has always been the most obvious way to reach the outside world that we are currently locked away from. Even more so that the majority of us are stuck at home to protect ourselves and others from spreading C19 further...

    This situation produces anxiety with the promise of restlessness and cabin fever.

    The poor internet is overloaded with a lot more activity at such a constant and consistent rate than it is used to, and for us to share it all, our speed and quality of our connection takes a negative hit at times. Lately, more than 'at times'.
    This effects bandwidth and speed for everything that uses the internet, especially, media programs that stream their information in real time, such as NW, World of Warplanes, War Thunder, etc, etc

    ...Seasoned players of NW return to pass the time and to run Tales, then that player will disappear again until the next event or social distancing order comes about... That is fine and I've met and learned quite a lot from these returning players.

    ...New players discover the game... Nothing wrong with that, and WELCOME. Sorry you have to meet me in such a manner.

    ...Neverwinter servers get overworked and congested to reward you with lag... Lag so bad that your toon rubberbands quite often... You run, say, the equivalent of 200 yards, and suddenly you're not across the river, through the woods and near your destination...you snap back to where you began running 25 seconds ago...Lather, rinse, repeat.
    THIS EFFECT MADE TALES UNPLAYABLE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND THEREFOR COULD NOT BE PLAYED—AND IF PLAYED, THEN NOT GRACEFULLY.

    AND WHY DIDN'T YOU FIX ANYTHING EARLIER THAN AT THE VERY END OF THE TALES EVENT? DURING THE EVENT!?

    THE DISCONNECT PROBLEM in TALES is a horrible joke! A smack to the face and a jagged knife to the spine--freagin embarrassing waste of time no matter what run count you were on.
    It's downright aggravating when you get disco'd on the 5th/5x run and Hrimnir's Health is 40% and suddenly, the game just takes you back to the login screen! This happened to me an hour and a half before maintenance. In bemused disbelief and horror, I typed my password without bothering to see if my Alien was still online, and my character select screen loaded almost instantly. MY INTERNET CONNECTION WAS FINE!!!!!! SO WHY THE DISCONNECT—THERE WASN'T EVEN ANY LAG, AND I NEVER GET DISCONNECTED BY NEVERWINTER. EVER. What a joke. YOU PEOPLE must REALLY HATE US.

    I immediately logged back into the game, it spawned me in PE, and I proceed to rejoin my party. I summon my VIP sign post to travel to them--there's still time to help them finish off Hrimjob. THAT OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE! I CANNOT REJOIN MY PARTY!
    I KEPT TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS. NOT WORKING. WHY???? YOU CHEATing... omg i just had to delete a lot of what I just wrote. You deserved every word of it, that's a promise. Every word, sentence, syllable, and pixel.

    MY GUILDIES FINISHED OFF HRIMwasteOFtime AND FOR ME...

    0 COINS!

    IN OTHER EVENTS, and regular dungeons/skirmishes, etc, if a player gets disconnected while in a party, the player simply reconnects with the same toon that he or she was using, and they have the ability to be reunited with their party.
    WHY CAN'T THE SAME HOLD TRUE WITH TALES!?, ESPECIALLY WITH REAL LIFE EVENTS THROWING A WRENCH INTO YOUR ALWAYS ALWAYS, OMG ALLLWAAAYYYYS FLAWED OPERATION CALLED NEVERWINTER? THE GAME HAS BUGS AND IS NOT FLAWLESS. WHY DON'T YOU WORK WITH THAT PROBLEM UNTIL YOU CAN FIND THE SOLUTION, AND NOT MAKE THINGS FREAGIN WORSE! and not DURING THE LAST FEW HOURS OF AN EVENT!

    I SUDDENLY THINK I HATE THIS GAME.

    I had my heart set on the storyteller journals.
    I wanted all of them but would settle on 2 journals with all pages. I saw that hope fading quickly. so I will complete the one I have and at least I got that, right? Fluke after Fluke to get the last page 'The Final Chapter'.
    I didn't get it 'The Final Chapter'. I should have my EnvenomedSTJ completed, AND 4/5 pages inside the Frozen journal. But no. I don't even have the first one completed!!
    After one fluked result of a 5x run that forced me to run again. There was only time for a 3x before maintenance. I got 10 coins. I figured I would reconnect after maintenance and do a 4x run with time to spare right before the end of the event and complete m Envenomed journal.

    WRONG!!!!! Since I've been bitterly clacking away at the keyboard resulting in what you're not going to read anyway, Cryptic (or fake 'whoever' that gets paid to feign concern about game issues and whatnot, the Patch install is only at 49%, This game will not be ready with a couple hours to run more like majority of people, not just me, assumed that we would have. We counted on it, even. I'm not the only one that shared that natural expectation.

    WHY IN THE BURNING FIRES OF KUNARK WOULD YOU RUN A CORRECTIVE PATCH TO FIX A BROKEN AREA OF AN EVENT DURING THE LAST COUPLE HOURS OF THE EVENT THAT YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE TRYING TO FINISH?????

    WHY DO YOU SAY THAT TALES EVENT ENDS AT 10 AM WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT—IT ENDS WHEN YOU LAUNCH THE PATCH. BY THE TIME ALL IS SAID AND DONE. INCORRECTLY PLANTING IN OUR HEADS THAT THERE IS STILL MORE TIME, AFTER THE PATCH, FOR A FEW RUNS... YOU GUYS ARE LIARS AND CHEATS AND I WILL NO LONGER SPEND A DIME ON THIS GAME.
    IN FACT YOU STILL OWE ME TWO FIFTY DOLLAR REFUNDS THAT MY BANK ACCOUNT HAS YET TO SEE. NOW, YOU ALSO OWE
    ME MY LAST PAGE FOR MY ENVENOMED STORYTELLERS JOURNAL. YOUR BS AND LACK OF ATTENTION OR CONCERN for you player base, is catching up with you. This might all seem trivial to you, but believe me when I tell you that it means more than just gaming theft by you guys from loyal players like me. IT'S NOW THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING.

    By the way, in the twitch stream it was said that Rage of Bel should be up on preview this week. Is it delayed to next week?
