Great news guys! The newest event (Theater of Blood) is already broken. After you die in the instance, you can't get back in. Why you say? The NPC dissapears and leaves you stuck inside the waiting room. The only way to get out is to relog, and quit the event.

THANKS FOR THE AWESOME EVENT! b:victory

    Because the "devs" actually spent more then 5 minutes coding this joke into an old re-used pvp arena.

    In all honesty I find it boring, even more so when the guild I am in goes in and slaughters and then no one is left or no one comes back (they were able to port back in day 1 of the event, jus tnot yesterday).

    Oh and the rewards suck. b:surrender

    Don't see many complaints here except from you. Maybe you should try harder to stay alive.

    Seeing as how I recorded the event w/ Fraps, and the entire room of 30+ players are saying in common chat "WTF, Where's the NPC? How do I get out or go back in?", I'd say I'm correct in stating that this was not the intended function of the event, nor was I the only player w/ the same resolution.

    Also, seeing as how the first day of the event, the NPC was in the instance after everyone died... Either it was a glitch that the NPC was there in the first place, OR it was a glitch that the NPC wasn't there the second day (yesterday), and people had to relog to leave the instance.

    Try harder to survive? Try harder to post w/ a real avatar. Try harder to troll. b:bye

    I think the thing is here that..

    Like me, you died almost as soon as u got in, but then the maximum number of players of 150 was reached inside so of course NPC will not spawn to let you back.

    It is broken though that u have to relog to get out.

    But all in all, if people woudn't be too concentrated of killing each others in a event and maybe enjoy it as it's suppose to be, would be a bit more fun.

    It was probably coded that way yeah, that you can kill other players for their bloods, but events like that should have 2 sections really. :

    --A PvE one, where only mobs spawn and R8-R9 would only really count as to how fast they could kill them (although they all have just 9 hp b:chuckle) No one here could whine they got one shotted by a R9 or owned by a high lvl Nix.

    --A PvP one, that would maybe contain both mobs and players. People in this one would expect to die or be owned..

    I think it is hard for devs to make a event that can satisfy both non cash-shoppers and heavy cash shoppers. A few did came up that didn't give power players a huge advantage (Quiz, Grim gamble, Temple ruins)

    As a saying we have here in my country (loosely translated from french) :

    - "As much as you want to satisfy everyone, somewhere, someone will still won't be"


    Thoughts ?
    Proud supporter of the new expansion. Sure it has it's share of bugs, like any games. But for a pure farmer/grinder, that's a whole lot of new mobs to go beat up b:chuckle

    This one is a pvp event though and is meant to be. Kinda nice there is another mass PVP option besides TW, but I think it should have tiers. Level Tiers. If you don't want to deal with rank 8-9 players then simply go on an alt where that level of gear isn't possible.

    If you want a PVE version of the event, you should do CoA.

    My only complaint with this event is that I wish the rewards were better.

    I agree with this :) I haven't had the chance to participate yet. But it seems kinda foolish to let lvl 50's and lvl 100+ loose in 1 zone to pvp... the lvl 50's wouldn't even be able to kill 1 lvl 100 if there was 8 of them... And then I'm not even talking about rank9.
    Lvl brackets should be taken into consideration imo :)

    Well, the thing is... It didn't port us all out of the instance when everyone died. It ported us to the waiting room, where the NPC is supposed to be (to talk for prizes, and to port back inside the actual instance). So there we're 30+ people sitting in the waiting room, waiting.... The NPC didn't ever respawn. I waited nearly 15 minutes, until the event was over. All the people just relogged to leave the instance, and had to call it quits.

    ^ This, it will make it more fair for players so they can at least have a chance of winning instead of getting 1 shorted... ijs

    Would have been 19:05 'till end of the event. So, basically five minutes after the mobs in the instance began spawning. I have video proof to back this up, as well. If needed, of course.

    Level tiers is simply common sense. I dont see why they wouldnt implement that unless they just wanted cash shoppers to pwn this as well.

    30-50 (Not many 30-50s really do PvP)
    50-65
    66-75
    76-85
    86-95
    96-105

    With a level say 100+ level tier for example, Rank 9 would dominate. But you can't even have rank 9 if you are level 99. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you have to be level 100 to even buy the rank 8 gear? So if you were in the 90-99 tier for example, you wouldn't have to worry about rank 9 players. That doesn't solve the rank 9 problem for 100+ people, but you can't expect PWI to exclude people just because they have nice gear. If you wanted to do mass PVP without having to worry about rank 9, just make an alt for that (hope that the arena opens up for longer periods of time) and keep it within the 90-99 level range. It's not a perfect system, but short of excluding players just because they have good gear, there really isn't any other way to level the playing field so that all players can have fun.

    Everyone that teleports in the arena gets stuck with binded NPC shop gear, that can't be unequipped until you leave the arena, best idea ever.

    This plus a level tier and random squads, massive TW capture the flag style game play. Would be fun XD
