another nien event problem

Armsman - Archosaur

I started the first nien event that took place at 4:00 pm today. But I had to log off after 5 minutes because of some issues.

Just now, I logged on about 2-3 minutes before the start of the 9:00 pm nien event. When I logged on, it said my festival invitation had expired, which should be obvious since it has been over 15 minutes.

But the problem is that the timer for the quest "Summer Turbulence" is still going. Apparently that timer only counts down while you are online, unlike the festival invitation item. What this means is that I was unable to get the quest or a new invitation, since I still had ~6 minutes left on the timer for the old quest.

So in other words, if you had to leave suddenly during the middle of one of the events, make sure you log in at least 15 minutes before the start of the next event.
