well i dont think it is, it might been great for those that just lvled, but for us that was close to lvl it was rather.... no great

i know, i could have had ga, i could have stayed away, i could have done lots of things, but you know what? i didnt, so quit QQ over i say i dont like it, its my very own personal opinion

If there was no QQ there would be no improvements b:bye

Personally I liked the event. I died 2x then purchased 10x guardian scrolls and died some more. I had fun!

Yeah, it looks like the people who had the least amount of fun were the ones who lost a lot of progress on their EXP bar, and I totally understand that. Next time, we'll split up the groups further so that players will be dealing with mobs more appropriate to their level.


Keep in mind, though, that we are seeing far less complaining about lag, and I think that's already a big improvement over the last event, Death From Above.

too bad only 2 servers had

I missed the event b:sad stupid schoolwork -.-


and and hea ninna ^^

My honest opinion is that the events are improving, but has a long way to go. Still potential though.

Here is how it went for me - Ported directly to Hidden Orchid. The port took almost a full minute loading from the lag of everyone moving at once. Perhaps if they announced it 10 minutes before the event people would port in at different times or fly. No one knew exactly where the mobs would be so everyone congregated right outside where Yan the Traitor is. THAT was a lag fest. Tons of people running around. No order to anything. It was impossible to log a kill on a mob to get drops because there were only a few spawned there and a ton of people. All the mobs that spawned there were on the lower end of the level so they were more obtainable. The drops that did fall were all garbage. I saw lots of one stars, DQ items, etc.

Now let's add in the PK aspect. Some people were only there to PK and spoil the fun for others. Now don't get me wrong. A PK server is a PK server so that's what you'll have, but come on. This is a new event and everyone wants to kick the tires. Not measure their epeens. It got kind of annoying, but thankfully there were so many people there that there were a lot of cannon fodder for the PK-ers. I was in a group of Kingdom and we all agreed to focus on the event and not PK. Clearly other factions were not of that ilk.

The easier mobs in the concentrated area died quickly and we were all left thinking that's it. No more. Then I started circling around and found some more on the outskirts however these were all taken by Herc venos solo-ing them and i didn't want to jump in and KS. Very quickly all the mobs were dead. As of that time still no one in my squad had gotten a single drop due to the massive hordes and PK-ing.

At this point a lot of people thought it was over and started to leave. I flew around some more and started seeing bosses. There were world bosses and FB bosses. My group took out two Hooli's and got ****. I got a Selee token (thanks). The best drop was a blue one star Serepentious Arm or some such piece of armor. Awesome! Meanwhile we had died twice because there was a world boss next to them with a HUGE AoE that absolutely decimated anyone that got near it. So we flew around some more and found a Brig who was already taken and a bunch more World Bosses we had never seen before. We settled on one World Boss and started poking him some. He hit hard, but we were managing until his AoE hit. Not nuclear, but still painful. Also had a mana drain that made my bar go from 7k to 0 in about 1 second. Not exactly good for BB. He also debuffed like Nob in fb79. We got tired of dying on impossible World Bosses and left with nothing.

So long story summarized of the good, bad and ideas for improvement:

- Give the time earlier so people come to the event over time in waves, not all running at once. It was like a Chinese Downhill.
- I like that the event was basically spread all over Hidden Orchid which is a huge area. The only problem was the distribution of mobs/bosses. All of the easier mobs were in one place which became a lag/KS epic event. There should have been easier mobs all over the area. Possibly maybe even respawning like in a wraith event, but maybe not as frequent.
- Way to many World Bosses at too high a level. Not necessary for a short event and too close together. There were two WB that took down the 20k HP barb mentioned above in one hit within 20 feet of each other. How about spread them out more and vary the levels some. I saw 2 Hoolis. How about more? More from FB89, FB69, FB59 etc. Or some other bosses. Maybe some World Bosses oned down some? Basically it was such a huge area, but the mobs were only in one place for a short time. It needs better distribution. This will also cut down on lag.
- I would suggest making the map area non-PK as I heard a ton of Q-ing. People threatening to take screen shots and report for harshing, etc. I'm mixed on this and can see both sides. Bottom line it is a PK server, but it is tough. It's almost like they rang a dinner bell and said come and get 'em!
- Better drops!! This says it all. I died about 4 times, killed 2 FB bosses, got PK'd, DD'd on mobs during the frenzy at the start and I got a Selee token. Not worth my time at all. I stayed for about an hour in the event and I view it a waste of time apart from being there to provide feedback

In any case I hope a GM reads this and passes it along. I was trying to be constructive as I think there is potential for these events and I appreciate you trying. Cheers

XD I gues I'm just so mean I like to see people being swapped like lil bugs... would make some great screenshots b:laugh
