Hey everyone,

We've got server maintenance tonight with an estimated downtime of 11pm PDT to 2am PDT.

Tonight's maintenance will be a restart for most servers.

This week's question:

What do you think of the Archosaur Assault event?

Thanks!

- The PWI Team

    It's a fun event!

    When it first started, it was quite the challenge. Nowadays it's a huge zhen fest.

    Doesn't happen often enough, though now that NW's on Fridays, Assault conflicts with it.

    First non-human reply!

    There doesn't seem to be any new manual patch for this maintenance.
    At least not yet.

    Because it doesn't end until 11 pmish (and switching it from 5pm start to 2pm start seemed to **** it up last time we had an Assault; there were double mobs at each spawn point after 5pm or so.) 2pm is also a rotten time for those of us who work days.

    I don't want to do NW.

    And time for Archosaur Assault event is suitable for me.

    Although event itself overcrowded by players.

    I love Attack on Archosaur event! It's a good way for lowbies like me to make coin; also, it gives people a reason to squad together.

    On the other hand, I don't like attending the event as a cleric. BBing for three (or however) straight hours isn't fun... :/

    You can check real numbers if you want.

    I wrote above just to show, that there are many players participate in this event.

    Please move west archosaur event to be a north archosaur event to even out traffic flow.

    Too much lag in west location for many players especially me.

    Maybe hold event 3 times a day to cater for all the non U.S.A. players on west servers.

    Thank you for any reply I may get no matter whar reacation I may get.

    What can you expect from filthy little heathens? Their whole disgusting race is like a curse. Their skin's a hellish red they're only good when dead they're vermin, as I said and worse. They're Savages! Savages! Barely even human. Savages! Savages! Drive them from our shore! They're not like you and me
    which means they must be evil we must sound the drums of war! They're Savages! Savages! Dirty redskin devils! Now we sound the drums of war!

    For your level first part you can even skip - low level DQ are not interesting for you in any case.

    Each new wave will be more an more suitable for you, although boss can be better(? - never damaged boss myself).

    pretty useless event imo, because when the mobs start to drop the non-1coin-DQ, NW also starts.

    anyway...how come this maint will last 3 hours while its only a restart? i have a feeling it wont even be 2 hours :S

    Assault on Arch
    Done enough times to know its
    long, repetitive, boring, and i just do not need DQ points that bad, so I avoid like the plague.

    Personally I would have handed duke over to them ages ago I hate him sticking his nose in others business then telling everyone on the server.
    There are old Warriors, and bold Warriors,
    but there are very few old bold Warriors. b:chuckle

    What do you think of the Archosaur Assault event?

    As a newer player without any high level character I have a suggestion: Break up the assault into different level ranges. North gate: Level 30-50, East: 50-70, South: 70-90, West (where everyone always is): 90+. That gives people of all level ranges something to do.

    As for the time... I suggest moving it to Saturday.
