    Hey guys,

    We hear you, and we are definitely very interested in your feedback. Please feel free to post or PM me any thoughts you have on this and future events (but keep it civilized lol). Keep in mind that we do plan to have more in-game events on a more frequent basis, and I believe that the process and execution will continue to improve over time.

    I'd like to thank everyone for participating on Dreamweaver server, and I can't wait to see how the inhabitants of Lost City deal with this new and most dangerous threat...

    Thanks ;)

    b:avoid
    mayhaps an "Oddball" event.
    b:avoid

    Okies there be like multiple special very large room (sort of like cube rooms where it be pk enabled and no colored names/risk of drops/loss of exp.)
    There be like one special item that a person has to get....then try to stay alive and can't leave teh area or something. When they die teh item drops on death (can't be bound or safety locked, etc)
    and whoever keeps teh item for teh longest time wins?
    O.o'

    (^.^)
    winner gets a special fash or something? something that doesn't really affect teh game or anything?
    or mayhaps like a small charm or something.
    b:chuckle
    o and teh rooms can be level tiered so you don't end up with like a level 100 barb against level 30s or something.

    I don't think events have to be such large scale.

    Why not do something like making monsters drop special event items for a limited time to exchange for goodies at the end. But make it instance based so lower lvls will have a chance, will encourage squads, there will be no lags, everyone will be able to participate (full time workers and basement dwellers alike), and everyone will get something out of it. I mean it's not ground breaking, but at least it doesn't put anyone at disadvantage and everyone will potentially be happy.

    Also, make GMs handout the end prizes instead of some random NPC. You guys need to bond with players more.

    Exactly. Dont just log in to make yourself noticed, afk a while, and log out after. Do something cool, make yourself popular. Like that one time when on svr Dreamweaver a GM was negociating a duel with MrLucky in Arch. Dont know if the duel happened or not in the end but we had a good time, killed the boredom ; would be fun to see this kind of things in the future.

    I wish the DW people would give us more information than "It failed" or "It sucked" or "It lagged"....

    I'm betting most people who would explain can't because of the lag. I would elaborate, but after about 5 minutes into the battle, my game and computer crashed, so I decided to not bother going back in until after the event was over.

    I would have been fine with dying, losing exp, and losing a lot of money because I like server events like this. However, I just couldn't play because of the lag itself. So, while I'm sure many are genuinely upset about the difficulty to get anything out of the event, were the lag not there I don't believe it would be that big of a deal.

    problem is, any event of this type has always failed

    just look at the history of them, all the way back to the "Invasion of Archosaur" event

    these events are heavily imbalanced towards highest DPS/ highest level

    honestly, they should be instanced, with each instance having a level range... like 20-40, 40-60, etc

    just my 2cents

    Woot it showed up... and QQ I deleted what I said earlier. let me try to find it again.

    Also in the meantime, its not that they are ungrateful, its just that it would be REAL nice if just about everyone left with at least something.

    i got to admit this is the worst event in any game i have ever played.

    LAG sucked waiste of charm and on top of that for the pkers people lost gear not me but some people did.

    on top of that no rewards there was no reward for anyone in our squad for our time and money we spent on charms. TY PWI for ripping us off again

    About the even on Lost City

    1. Sure it was great and all was a little bit of fun at first, but mob/bosses in the area come out of no where and kill

    2. pkers destroyed any and all fun there could have been, esp on LC where there is the faction called Faguza, I mean Yakuza where they aparently have nothing better to do then kill people, as bad as Essence can be no one I know got killed by them once

    3. Only allowing certain people to get any kind of reward is total ****, everyone that showed up should at least get something for their time and probable exp loss

    4. Next time there should be a special instance just for this where you can not pk anyone and you can only hit the gms etc

    Event was completely unfair to most of the people on the server, most people lost a good bit of exp and will not be getting it back, there will probably be high repair costs depending on how much you got hit, and getting absolutely nothing from it all is total and complete BS

    Something I wanna say about this event is...

    There's too much lag, much more than a tw... it's become a free PK fest... and only high levels really has a chance to survive, enjoy killing and get the drops ~

    Well, as I got there... I was pked instanly in the air... respawned in town... lag getting worse... pwi crashed. The end, thx for this event xD

    I didn't think it was bad...sure the lag was bad, especially when it first started...and at the first bosses i could only tell i was doing damage to it from my attack log but yeah..I wasn't expecting drops and it would be impossible for everyone to get a drop.

    I mean pk is expected..I dont see why people on LC was complaining about being pk when first its an event where the gm's didnt ban pking like on the hide and seek events. Second, you're on a pk server, dont expect just because a event is happening that everyone wont pk. The pk on LC only really happened during the last part when we had to kill Ironman and after turned into a pk fest. And the event was for all levels, so if you get pked by 9x or lvl 100's its not personal, unless they are looking at your gear and then decided to pk you if you're under lvl 50..which i highly doubt.

    FaIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL

    I am not one to complain normally. But there was no reward or exp or sp. All that took place was people random pking white names and losing gear and getting their charms ticked. I was FRIGIN just watching and people went around Pking at aerial height 79? really? really? This event was major EPIC FAIL. Honestly, PWI I can see why many people quit this game. I hope future events won't be this much of a FAIL again. Actually, next time when I know there is an event I wont even bother going.
