Is not to be messed with. THIS is how it should have been all along. These Unhallowed Wights are good stuff.
.....but the lag is back...

    The lag is back with a vengeance. Was getting about 20 fps on med-low setting in phase 2, then 3am hits and 2fps on low settings. Even when the portals arent open for those 5 minutes my fps only soars to about 15.

    Otherwise, this phase seems fun, too bad its like looking at a picture show for me.

    Max FPS through the entire event + close.

    Seemed to have lots more mobs this time around as well + the Wrights.

    I'm actually having little to no lag with Phase 3, which is a welcomed change from Phase 2 where I had to hide in Trade of Blades whenever the event was about to end due to the 30 second to 1 minute freeze on my PC. They seemed to have fixed it with this phase somehow... at least for now.

    The higher HP of the Wights is very nice. Actually gives everyone a chance to hit it instead of insta-dying like the archers and zombies.

    Since Im at work.

    Do the bags drop off these wights or is it still only the hulks?

    I ramped the graphics down to low and it does make a difference. I just hope with the total number of enchants being dropped, it doesn't make them worthless on the AH.

    Must be something wrong with me then - I find the 3rd stage an upgrade from mind-numbing boring to rather dull...

    Lovin' it! It winds up being every 10 minutes (5 minute battles, then 5 minutes before the next round.) The wights are awesome!

    No lag here (I should hope not...I just dropped 2 large on a new gaming rig!)

    The Wights and Hulks are both dropping bags.

    I like it - no insta death on wights and you get a good go at killing them, I got careless & needed a pot, excellent.

    Just a tip on avoiding the screen freeze when the portal close.

    I play the event on my office computer with all graphics option tuned low or off, because the computer is pretty low-end (integrated graphics card, etc.). I have never experienced the freeze at the end of event. However when I play the event at home with my more powerful PC (and therefore have my graphics tuned up), I get the freeze every time at the end.

    Well, even with my graphics turned way down, its a repeat of the lag fest from Phase 2, Day 1. Almost unplayable..... almost.

    I got the Blue Dawg from about the 7th Wight that dropped the Bag of Bones. Or from the eleventyseventh Hulk....

    It's my understanding that the dogs come from:
    A. Rewards from participating in the event.
    2. Bags of Bones that are dropped by mainly the Hulk and Unhallowed Wight (I have received a bag from other minions on occasion).

    Do you mean the bag said "Skeleton dog" or was it just a bag of bones that happen to have it inside?

    Wright ain't pushover. Fighting two or more of them in a very small group is fun but hard!

    I kinda like it.

    It is pretty awesome with smaller groups.

    Still a bit to many folks per instance and that is making the Portals easier then they should be.

    Pretty darned fun though. The gloomy night and full moon effects are some good eye candy! Good job devs

    They should keep the night/moon around if they arent planning on it. Like night/day cycles or something because the moon is awesome.

    Definitely. I've been hoping they'd implement a night/day cycle into this game at some point.
