General Event Discussion

    So what you're saying is, the only thing you fixed, is bosses spawning every 10 mins now. You still didn't fix the bug with the loot, and how it's only a few people getting loot every time, cause they figured out how to exploit the bug.


    That's not completely fu**ing useless, OR a joke to your playerbase AT ALL.

    No, it is working as intended. The loot system is basic NC mechanics, nothing GF will bother with. :)

    Find out how it works, enjoy the game. Nothing any publisher/GF will try to fix for an event, if you judge it by the effort which is put in into recently. :)

    There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

    ... but what with the loot case? Is it works like in 5.3 - 5.8 patch Nosra/Esterra "ancient weapon" (this boss) where loot have 4 best alliances in league?

    ...asking, caus many people had not their loot after killing bosses :(

    Quote from Galeas

    The rest was intended as far as I know and I didn't hear about any compensation since it was supposed to work like this (Factions fighting for the boss).

    Yes but the situation is un-pleasant for many, GF didn't intend that only a select few got the RNG rewards.

    When I'm here I'm always answering. As a matter of fact I was not working yesterday. Indeed spamming doesn't change anything, if I'm around I will answer (if I have an answer).


    Regarding the event, the boss spawn was not working as intended as explained in the maintenance info and has been modified. Starting from today it will be the boss we named and the week after the 3rd one I believe. The rest was intended as far as I know and I didn't hear about any compensation since it was supposed to work like this (Factions fighting for the boss).

    Tell us about the bugged loot then.

    Some people is was getting 25+ bags every boss, while others were lucky to get 1 or 2.

    And it has nothing to do with luck.

    I have tryed solo, in group of 6 random, in group of 6 with high atk. speed. classes, an half full ally, a full ally, a league with 6 full allys, joining ally at 25%, changing from group to ally. EVERYTHING.

    And somehow, i get 2 bags, while others get 25.

    Im a glad, but i have extend, so i do more than enough dmg on the boss, compared to others.


    Tell me how this shit works, because 85% of the players doesn't, and they are getting screwed hardcore.

    So you are telling us that now events are not for everybody anymore? This game is getting worse and worse lol.

    Well, try naming one event from the past year, that wasn't bugged to hell and back...


    It's like they never heard of a testserver, before putting on live server.

    The thing is, the factions aren't fighting for the bosses. The underdog faction simply rerolls to the dominating faction for the event, something your decision made with 7.0 (an over a half year old patch at this point) enabled them to do (play ely and asmo on the same server / same account) - GF never completed the forced transfers for people with conflicts, and the character restriction is still down, half a year later ("for people who want to level a painter", appearantly).


    You do know what happens to soldiers who desert their own state and fight for the enemy in times of war (solely for their own benefit, at that), right? They don't get awesome rewards without repurcussions, to say the least. Asmodians and Elyos are at war, so it only makers sense to enforce the "one faction only" policy again IMO.

    It's obvious that they don't test anything, we all know. But even with bugs events were for everybody....that's what events are, right now the losing faction is screwed.

    Other event bugs, bad as they were, never stopped the majority who participated from being properly rewarded.

    I'm sorry what :/


    It supposed to be like that ? That the same 192 players get the loot ? You know that at "good" events there are like 400+ players online ? What about them ? Not to mention the faction.

    Factions can't do pvp since its all about numbers not to mention its super duper frustrating to pvp for 2h a day even if you kill the boss to get 0 loot ? But hey as long the same guy gets his 20th legendary in a week everything works fine.^^

    They do test events on test server, always did, their testers are unable to think of enough scenarios to test tho ;) I think their test cases are just to ensure that the basic things work.

    So enlighten me someone if i understood corectly this week boss gonna spawn in snuwa area and not anymore in outlaw area, did i understood right? besides the 10min spawn time between bosses

    Elite Enemies

    Elite monsters are terrorising Atreia! Defeat the King of Thieves, Snuwa Grand Chieftain and Rega Hospodar daily between 1 and 2 PM and 7 and 8 PM.

    A Bundle of Dumamonds (3x) is waiting in reward.

    Rewards

    You can find a list of rewards here.


    Please note: All event items will be removed from the game one week after the end of the event.

    According to this, there should be 3 bosses, all spawn at the same time, with 10m respawn timers.

    Basic things aren't working though. ^^

    i remember in the past, having a live video when they tested stuff on test svr where everything worked perfectly and when they copied files on the actual servers we had a lot of bugs =] Guess this is what happened for last events =] Also less employees working so we get the 'fixes' with weekly maintenance and not in the same day

    Quote from Galeas

    I didn't hear about any compensation since it was supposed to work like this (Factions fighting for the boss).

    how nice of you guys to give us a faction event that gives such nice rewards while perfectly knowing that servers are completely imbalanced and that such events ALWAYS ended up with the dominating faction snatching all the rewards.

    Increase the imbalance even more pls.


    If it was supposed to be a faction event, then it should be limited to one spawn through the whole timer. Now you guys allowed this abusive farming from the dominating side over a whole week, so indeed it's only fair that the other side demands a compensation.

    I hate stupid people.
