Also, I'd deeply appreciate the repeatable being left ingame so that we can aquire tokens that way too after it is completed, at least for a while
I can't agree more. Couch it however you like to save face, but restart the event with the obvious adjustments any fool can see are needed; you will win back some trust that the devs care about their players and have a clue how to create a fun event.

Shouldn't the event stay running until EVERY server completes the event on those servers. Meaning that even if AB finishes their Ring and Spire by completing the event the merchant, ground spawns and repeatable quests all remain until the last server finishes their events or "one week" expires them through auto-complete?

Even though AB will be done they can run the 'clean-up' events until Oasis finishes, right? Oasis Dragon Ring - 25% Wizard Spire - 10%

If the event truely only lasts for 24-48 hours ... wow, that is epic.

Zabjade · 07-15-2011, 02:24 PM

I apologize about any earlier comments, was a little heated. I did find a work-around however mostly to be outside the raid and to used ranged attacks.

Flittermouse · 07-15-2011, 02:31 PM

I participated from beginning to end in a 50 token wizard ring event. Died several times, racked up 18 gold in repair. A few times, one of the mobs did a knock back that sent me flying far enough to have the quest pop up again. I think this reset all the previous damage I'd done to zero, because I didn't receive any tokens at all.

Very disappointed.

Kikiriki · 07-15-2011, 02:35 PM

On super high populated servers like AB you'd think maybe they'd adjust the XP on the event accordingly. I went to sleep and when I woke up it's at 99%.

Lame.

As noted in this announcement, the event has been temporarily disabled while we address these issues. We'll post on the forums when we know the date it will be resumed. Thanks for your feedback! SMILEY

I appreciate the post. If/when possible, it'd be very much appreciated if you could let us know if those folks that killed the final x4 raid fight at the Spires will ge thier quest rewards. Espeically the 500 tokens, since the other things are supposedly going on the merchant.

I believe you yourself appreciate feedback, Domino. However, I do not believe any of your peers in management or development could give a rat's hind end about feedback.

There was 17 pages of feedback here on the forums while this event was on Test. Yet it went Live like this, all concerns ignored. This is by far the worst Live Event I can remember, not just in quality but also in design. Aside from this being the first time a Live Event needed to be pulled back off the servers, it's been years since a Live Event has been designed to exclude rather than include varying playstyles.

I'm not happy.

Juull · 07-15-2011, 09:01 PM

Even though this event was seemingly tailor made for my playstyle (casual raider), I have to agree that the design leaves a lot to be desired. It seems almost punative - Play Our Way Or Get NOTHING! Never fear, crafter friend - I tried playing it their way - and I still got NOTHING at the end, so we're all in the same (sinking) boat! I've got some tokens from running the [Removed for Content] Dragon Ring heroic stuff last night, but no where near the number required by my vendor shopping list.

I still have not received an answer about whether or not those of us on AB who participated in the bugged final encounter in EW this morning will be receiving our quest rewards or not. I did notice that the quests (including the 500 shard final reward quest) mysteriously disappeared from my journal at some point today.

Actually the anniversary event also excluded many many players. I am grateful we can do the ale/mining pick quest on our low levels. But it is a problem where one group of mobs hang out when no one wants to fight them at the Dragon Circle.

There really is no problem when it is busy and groups fight those uber mobs. But when no one does, it makes that area almost unaccessible to low levels. SMILEY

Uwopo · 07-15-2011, 09:34 PM

Any chance of getting the Replica Dragon Ring changed so it scales up to full size, like the druid rings (e.g. Black Granite Druid Ring) from the druid ring building events?

I bought this hoping to replace the ring around the druid in my guild hall and it's barely large enough to encompass her ankles.

There is a problem when theres people there and the special mob you need to hit goes down so fast you cant even fire off an arrow on him. One update in six tries. It's ridiculous. You should get an update for attacking any of the mobs.

An update from another thread.

Domino wrote:

Update: the current plan is that when the event is resumed, any servers below 50% progress when the event was suspended will resume progress where they left off. However, due to some of the issues that are being addressed currently, some servers had progressed further than intended in the time the event was active. Servers that had over 50% progress will be reset to 50%. This should extend the life of the event and allow more people to participate. This looks to be the following servers: Antonia Bayle, Butcherblock, Crushbone, Everfrost, Freeport, Guk, Permafrost, and Splitpaw.
As mentioned, the event will NOT reactivate this weekend, so relax and enjoy your weekend doing other things. We'll announce next week when it will be reactivated, and provide more details at that time. We will be sure to give at least a day's notice in advance so you can plan appropriately.
Thanks for your patience, watch for more details next week, and we look forward to seeing you at the rebuilding sites!

Needs a fix please.
Its a miniature version of the ring its not meant to be scaled up to actual size. I allowed it to be scaled up relatively large (possibly even too large) and I cannot scale it any larger or it will have texture issues. Sorry!

Tyrus Dracofire · 07-16-2011, 05:55 PM

please pull out dragon ring too, failed 3 times since it hit 50%, no updates hurting alot for 50 tokens each for few times.

NOT REALLY HAPPY NOW! this wasted and lost investments, epic went beeline on me after chained kill, i hate that.

Whilhelmina · 07-16-2011, 07:10 PM

It should have been pulled out, you still having it is a server-specific bug it seems.

It's not supposed to be on. You know it's bugged. It's like sticking your hand in the fire. It hurts so stop doing it!!

Virginie · 07-23-2011, 03:04 AM

I played an 89 warden along with a 90 pally in the Eastern Wastes Spire event. I healed and nuked the final boss and the pally got tokens and I got nuthin.

Now...is that fair???

Hamadryas, 89 warden on Permafrost.

Bratface · 07-24-2011, 07:34 PM

I thought this was fixed?

We just did the (Sun 07/24) 3pm pst dragon ring in GD4 and killed the epic etc and no one in the entire area got an update, NO ONE.

Missing an update for 50 tokens that you can only get every 3 hours is rediculous.

Please come to Guk and give us our tokens.

Haven't had an issue getting the 50% update, once the named and all his buddies are down it should finish the quest. I've done it myself about 5-6 times today, even hopping instances after finishign once and helping others struggling, and never saw one person complain about the quest. Are you sure all the trash attached to named is being killed off?
