Heibi.4251 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 So as I understand it the "event" suddenly happened. So I missed the achievement points that I could have had. However, ANET says I'll have a "chance" to get them throughout the time this is running. I find this laughable. First - We have to be logged in and in LA to even know it's up. Second - for those of us who aren't on Twitter this is an unfair event. We don't know when it will happen to have a chance at these points. Third - The event was bugged to begin with. Fourth - there really needs to be a longer duration and it needs to be communicated through other than Twitter that it is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewcifer.5198 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I agree that there needs to be way better communication about the event. I didn't know it was happening until I saw someone post about it on reddit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a vague note in the patch notes about an event to do with the forge. Turns out it was about donating mats to a dodgy NPC and that would unlock a new recipe in the forge. There were achievement points too. It’ll return, fixed with the same achievements for a second round and a new weapon recipe to unlock These recipes remain perma unlocked but hidden so the community needs to figure out what is in the recipe by the usual trial and error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I obviously misunderstood Rubi Bayer's post. After re-reading it, I am getting the impression that those will be new events, not the same one, and that the removal of this one and its length were intentional and not due to some bug that forced them to end it prematurely. Bummer, I wanted to witness the ending dialogue to see what it was about storywise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is "Anet only talk about this event on twitter and nowhere else" problem not relevant? Well, if it's bugged, then why even do it?

The biggest thing is it seems the event is during the late morning early afternoon. So anyone who works during the day or is not living in NA misses out on these events and achievements. Unless these events run every few hours, but I haven't seen them say it will, just keep tabs on twitter which I don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The duration of the event seems like the biggest problem. You need to donate 6500 units for all the ap and that's really kind of a lot to ask for something that has such a small window of opportunity . . .

I imagine future ones will last longer only bc fewer ppl will be interested in finishing it. Still, if it doesn't run for at least a day I'm not sure it's a good idea . . .

You have to log into the forums or twitter to even know they are on. Even if you are in the game you will not know it's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A poor communication tool. It's more like a post-informative tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heibi.4251 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 The event should also be announced via an in game mail from ANET. And the event timing should be from one daily reset to the next to give maximum participation. The in game message can be sent out right at reset to inform everyone of the event. Then they have 24 hours to join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
