SORRY ??? you seem to have missed the EU out of that post ? can we also expect this ? is it coming later ? PR post at it's finest !

So you don't give a ,,,, about the EU subscribers, nice to know. Just unbelievable.

This has been going on for over a year now. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get something going on the EU servers from Carbine side? Unless it's an automated rewards in the game : NOTHING

Might be because Carbine people also play Wildstar and they happen to be located in NA. I wouldn't play on the NA server for my life as long as I'm located in EU. That is such a weird thing to relate to because your case has nothing to do with events and such. Players just happen to spot a dev here and there. It's not like a hide and seek event for NA only.

Exactly... Bad PR that's what this is now.

{| style="width: 100%;"

Because it is easier to do one event in a day than to do two 8 hours apart.

For?

{| style="width: 100%;"

Yeah, no. Ten years ago people would have reacted the exact same way. Spoiler alert, humans haven't changed in thousands of years. Your rose colored glasses however...

Thayd has guards every 5 feet, Illium has 5 guards

We got a shit ton of free stuff within the past few weeks....

Great, so a quarter of your raid went to go get there milk and lay down in there cribs because they are babies


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

I was telling eveyone who asked how to get there, without planning to go myself. You're welcome.


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

I think most people that are a bit upset are the people who left raiding and whatnot to sit at 5fps for an hour and a half of nothing. I personally don't care because I had nothing else to do, but it was a distraction, not really cool or interesting- which is what you'd expect from carbine event.

They don't disguise Stress Tests. When they have a stress test you'll know it, and weep for your future.

I got disconnected, which wasn't terribly fun. And then I relogged into a new instance where there had been no rowsdower, which also wasn't fun. Then Hildogen started letting people join their team simply to sync into the correct instance after the stuff with the rowsdowers was apparently already over. I do appreciate the effort on Hildogen's part in doing so, it must have been a little frustrating trying to drag 100 players into the right instance one at a time. Thanks, Hildogen! :) And since it deserves saying, I hope the take home lesson from what Hildogen ended up having to do is that players need the ability to change instances themselves. I would suggest that the developers look at how Champions Online does it, because it was one of the first games to implement the idea and none of the games that have followed have done it as well, at least in my opinion. They have an interface that tells you which instance ID you're in, how many friends you have in each other existing instance, and how close to capacity each other instance is. And then they let you pick which one you want to go to, rather than restricting you unless you're trying to sync with particular teammates. It's extremely helpful for getting to a particular instance without having to beg someone else for help. Which is likely to become more important as the game goes F2P.

It's not about 'stuff', although people do like to get something for their time. Many of us rearranged our schedule or opted to stay up instead of go to bed (I work an early shift) to see what the 'big surprise' was, and we got....well....you know. It's about being respectful of your customers' time, not their entitlement.

It might not have gone down completely, but the server kicked me at 9:32 PST and I spent the next 30 minutes starting at login error messages. The servers certainly didn't handle it well if they had to refuse login requests.

Myself and others started talking about the game kicking us out and ui issues starting back on page 4. lol It seems as though there were quite a few people who ended up with problems connecting to the servers. I was kicked multiple times and when I was able to log in all the Carbine addons were broken. I had to constantly relog for about an hour before the game actually starting running properly again. I just wish I had been able to participate, it looked like it might have been fun.

Great post, but the majority of the people in this thread can't bear to hear the truth.

(not directed at you Mae)  So a lot of y'all apparently had fun. I'm glad, since it was supposed to be fun(and no snark there at all, I'm sincere). That being said, so why the need to insult those that didn't and try to convince them they were wrong for not having fun? When some of them couldn't even get in the game, a lot of us weren't able to interact with anything once there, or some couldn't even see what was supposed to be there. I thought having fun was supposed to remove negativity, or is that y'all's idea of fun?

They just said *specifically* that was not the intention.

What does this event's performance have to do with the community team?

Not to say that I thought this event was good, but I've seen worse. :lol:
