Ok… I realize (and like) the idea of a changing world… single event occurrences and the such.

I have limited time to play. I reserved a few hours to try to get as much done as possible and I get on and find several bugs. Ok. It happens.

I think, perhaps, a single weekend is simply not long enough. I’d like to suggest a minimum of a week for these kinds of things.

Thanks for the consideration.

That would definitely be better than just a weekend.

I agree. It seems like there’s a lot of bugs associated with the event right now, making it difficult for someone like me who’s at the end of this college semester to do these events. I’ve got a lot of things to do, but I had set aside time to do this.

Finding that I can’t is somewhat frustrating, but I think increasing the time would help everyone else having issues.

Yeah. There are too many technical issues that even if someone books a day off, they might not be able to complete any content.

Honestly… I’d really prefer a month, but I suspect that kills the flow for people once they’ve finished it. And, I can see ‘rewarding’ active players. Still… three days seems too short.

3 days is fine imo, its not supposed to be dragged out, you get the dungeon after, the one time event is just that. if you make it great, if not you didn’t miss much, watch a utube video if it bugs you.

I approve this message. With how buggy it is, its frustrating as hell to think i have a bout a 5 minute window to complete the events. Noll still not working and phase one ends today. . .

They seem to have this idea to have it all at one time, at what they deem is the best possible time for everyone around the world, to make it all a ‘surprise’ before it can all be posted.

While I guess that’s admirable in a J.J. Abrahms-esque way, it just doesn’t seem to work too well.

I’d much rather they vet this stuff out better. Dulfy is so fast with the guides, as are others, you aren’t surprising anyone. And those that want to be surprised know how to ‘not’ go actively looking for guides and YouTube videos.

My two cents.

Conceptually, it seems like a lot of fun. Sadly the momentum of reading and following the lore is being broken far more than spoilers and guides waiting for us after 3 weeks of testing would have.

I totally agree. I mean, I can understand the cutscenes and such being a one-off but the overall events would be better off done over the course of a week rather than a short three-day period.

Especially given the fact that everything they put out seems to have some major bugs launched with it. Not sure what that’s about. Maybe not enough testing in advance?

Definately agree that all future events should be a week and not a weekend. That would allow 2-3 days per phase as opposed to 1 day each, allowing more leeway for fixing bugs and just more general time for everyone to get to experience the events.

Obviously things like the planned Sunday event chain need to be 1-day only, and thats fine, but yesterday’s event chain and today’s would be perfectly fine if they took place over a few days.
