CoA Entrance Bug: A Year Later

So since I started playing PWi from the Descent Expansion, I decided to run CoA today, only to be hampered by the lovely entrance quest bug.

Figured a year later, it would have been fixed, but I assume it doesn't bug players much, mainly from lack of it being mentioned on the forums until this post.

Any tips on to avoid this bug? It's happened to me a lot a year ago back when I was actively playing. My quest log wasn't packed, had 11/20 for quests, I was in tiger form, if that has to do with anything. That's really all I can think of that I was doing the moment I took it. I even saw the time, which it was 8:49 PM server time when I took it, I know the event doesn't open until 8:50 PM server time, but it appeared and I took it, had a friend who took it before me, and he got in fine.

Just wondering if there was something I was doing wrong, or it this bug only happens by chance.
Ice Bear is pleased.

    Had 5 mill on me, it's a 100K fee, so the money was covered.

    To add a bit of more info, a countdown timer appeared in my quest log, from 10 seconds, to 8 seconds, then it went to 5 seconds, then reset back to 10 seconds, over and over.

    PWI has been pretty unstable lately in terms of timed quests. My daily attendance quest was at the 0:00:00 counter for about 10-20 minutes before it finally decided to complete, even after I relogged.

    That's probably what happened.

    Quest can bug if you take it as soon as it pops up. this used to happen to me a lot. now when the quest becomes availble i wait 10 seconds before taking it, and havent had the problem since.

    Usually it bugs if you take the quest too quickly, or if it is full from what I've noticed.

    This.

    If you read one of the guides on the forum about CoA it would tell you that since day 1 some people have trouble getting in if they take the quest the second it becomes available. This is because CoA has a limited number of slots spread over 4 instances and sometimes when alot of people try and enter at once some people on the waiting list never get moved properly inside. Normally just trashing the quest and retaking it fixes the problem.

    However as Skai mentioned quests have been laggy for some other reason for a few weeks now and many times the only way to fix it is to relog.

    Edit: Oh look my avatar glitched now lol

    Wow your sever is more than alive, on mine there's like 3-4 persons in each room so unless 12 is the maximum people allowed in we have bunch of place. xD

    I used to have trouble getting in all the time, where my 10 second quest timer would constantly reset. It had something to do with quest lag, and if the entrance quest took too long to finish, it would reset. Restarting my client shortly before the event would usually clear out any quest lag. It seems that they extended the quest timer to 30 seconds some time ago, this should have helped with this issue, I haven't had any more problems getting in myself.

    One thing that you may want to try next time is to relog. As long as the instance isn't full yet, the quest should reset and pop you in. You lose all your buffs, but it beats missing out.

    but still, just cuz there's 3 or 4 ppl in one room doesn't mean u have a lot of place....
    n i think the max. allowed ppl to enter COA is 150
