Making Better Events

A good event is described below:
- Many times a day, in this way people from all parts of the world can enter... and remember this is an International game... not a USA game.
- At least you get ALWAYS something, in this case one item from the event is enougth.
- Dont have tons of LAG... and dont give server error to players that are enjoying the event.
The events on PW(I)
- One time a day for USA players only (I always ask to myself why the events take place in the best hour for USA players... I just wounder why!?).
- 100 eggs... for more than 1000 players, yep... and dont forgot to mention that one player can probabily catch more than 1 egg... but the players that are able to catch the eggs... are the ones that live near the location of the server and plus have super computers with super net to pick up every single event stuff.
- About lag... yes lag power... the lag is so overpowered that gives you a present bonus... enjoy server error and be back when the event is over.
To all of you... good easter day.

i agree completely, all i have to say is "WTF GM's?" you could have made a quest that people can do to help the easter bunny gathering items or something just like all of the rest of your quests, maybe something to kill in a FB so people can group for it and turn in a quest for the egg of their class, make things more convenient for others and stop the complaints, think before you design kthxbai b:sad0

Totally agree
This was the first event i've been in and the damn server error everytime my char gave a single step didnt let me even get a chance to colect an egg.
Besides that WTH? 100 eggs? are u people insane? Im not any expert but easter is celebrated by almost everyone though GWs dont seem to remember that...so only a few people (i bet less than 100) got a gift in this laggy, stupid, horrible event that gave a god damn headache >.<
Happy easter to EVERYONE!!!!!0 -

You forget about Canada, Central America, and South America. As to why they host during time that cater to North, Central, and South Americas, I suspect it has something to do with the PW China Servers catering to that area of the world, and the new PW Europe Servers that will be catering to Euoprean countries. If you are dissatisfied with the time Zones, look into playing on a server closer to you.
As for lag, I was at the Sanctuary event because it was the most convient time for me to go see how it was run. I knew there was going to be lag so I
selected hide players names and Hide players outside range. After that I had next to no lag what so ever. I still did not get an egg, but I did have fun chasing the bunnies around.
Since you seem to think that this was a failed event, how would you have hosted an Easter Egg Hunt? And keep in mind that just giving everyone 1 egg is not an event. Its just a gift.
As for the supercomputer comment, I built my own computer. It cost me about $700, of which $280 was spent on my 24" monitor. I have standard Cable connection that anyone can get these days. I live on the East coast and was playing on a West coast server. I had no problem with lag just my using a few of the ingame features to lessen the graphic demands on my video card.Dumb people are blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are. - Patrick Starfish0 -
My favorite part of the **** event was the part when the Gm tells us "The lag is due to how large our community is. "
Not a direct quote, but something like that.
So you have a huge community, yay for you, lets make them all pile up onto one bridge and see if it doesn't collapse. That would have been more fun.
Not to mention that the Eggs people did get, were ****.
Halloween was the best so far. Xmas was Ok, but really how long did that have to last.
Maybe there should be an event where a team has to go kill a boss. You can only do it once, and it drops prizes and xp like a Pinata. Different bosses for different level groups.
Most events lately stink!
Stating that the lag is due to a big community, is about the dumbest thing ive heard. You know we have alot of players , dont make us all go to one place.
Duh BArbie!0 -
The single biggest problem with the events on PWI recently is the lag. Whoever comes up with ideas centering around "let's see how many people we can gather together in one place at one time" needs to be kicked.
The second biggest problem, and this one isn't THAT big, is the timing. Having events that occupy a single hour or less in an 'international' game is a bad idea.
After that, I don't see problems. Rare rewards? That's fine with me. It's a special event, it's not like they're gonna give it away to everyone. Bad rewards? It's something to break the monotony of the standard game, so who cares?0 -

And you must be very happy...
European servers?
I ask again... european servers!!??
Ohh... do you mean the new 2 servers that are in "America" sure... instead of having an event 6 am I will have the event 3 am... sure big diference like you could see.
And why I should change server if I already have spent money to play in Sanctuary?Happy Sauce face

No, I am not talking about the East Coast servers. I am talking about Perfect World Multilingual Service. Its based in Europe. If that company wants, it is possible that everyone in Europe will not be able to play on this server anymore anyway. It is possible that there will be a block added to prevent you from playing because another company owns the distribution rights in that area and they may decide to enforce their rights.
And yes, I am very happy. But then again the last game I played would have simular style events then give away 1 prize to 1 of 6 different servers. Not 100 to each server.Dumb people are blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are. - Patrick Starfish0 -
Actually this game is focused on the usa
The idea meant behind "International"
is that they're making a bridge from china to the usa
if this was focused on the way you think it's supposed to be
then it would be called Perfect world Global

Huh???? What are you talking about? Why would it be your fault that I used to play a dumb game?
That other game I stopped playing in January. I never said it was your fault that I used to play it. I came here because the graphics are better, the events are better, the people are better, the game is just better in every way.
Also, just doing the math about your comments on what time it is for you, you must be closer to the China servers. Since Sanctuary's event was at 12:30pm on Sanctuary and you said you had to be there at 6:00am, the only way this could be is if you are GMT+9 to GMT+10.Dumb people are blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are. - Patrick Starfish0 -
I totally agree with the graphics being very good but the events suck. I played lots of mmorpgs and so far this has the worst events ever...dieseasily wrote: »I came here because the graphics are better, the events are better, the people are better, the game is just better in every way.
the people are better? that depends. personally i dont think so
The game itself has lots of flaws but still its a good game (at least while comparing to the free ones)0 -
I think what they should have done was have the event twice or even 3 times within a 24 hour span. That way more people would have at least had a better chance of getting something. Another thing is they could have done events where we do things in a squad. I really like this game and I hope these posts get through to the main guys.0

I have said the same thing in the archousar assault event...
About the easter egg event it was 8:30 pm in my country... thats why I was able to do it. But in general they do the events like this one at 8:30 pm in pacific hour... that means in my country is 4:30 am. The problem here its to make the events better, and one way of doing that is doing the events more than 1 time per day were all people have the same rigth to enter the event. And of course anyone would win something just for participating, for me thats a good event... but in PW(i) I didnt see nothing of that yet.Happy Sauce face

another way to do the event is to make the monstors drop the eggs. instead of a one day/hour event.. make it like a week where all monsters has a chance 10% or so to drop an random egg. Much like it does for the other loot the mobs drop. You can have different type of eggs so you can load them with randon items. that way every one would have a chance to get something.0

totally agree, besides that would solve the lag problem and give everybody the chance to get one 0
