I know you don’t want people running a boss forever, but seriously these timers are killing all the excitement I have for LS updates. It is bad at teq and here its atrocious. The marionette fight is pretty standard, nice mechanics, not rewarding in the slightest, a nice ap grind, but I have to wait every 2 hours to do it. CREATE INSTANCED ZONES. Make the lfg tool squad supportive. Allow us to create squads through lfg and give individuals a limit of runs they can do per day. This wait 2hrs and have to get their an hour early only detracts from the game.
Get over Timers
I agree. instances for squads and more forgiving event completion timers would be the best ideas for these events going forward.

Either instance, or a build up event chain so that we’re at least not sitting around doing nothing for 2 hours.
“I know you don’t want people running a boss forever,”
What I can’t figure out is why.
Just implement a reasonably fair DR formula to punish mindless farming while also avoiding making it totally worthless in terms of extrinsic rewards for people to replay content (you know, so people playing after the daily reset can find a group).
If people enjoy a boss fight, let them have a boss fight. Let them fight the boss 10 times in a row, if that’s what floats their boat.

whats there to farm from this event though all you get a cyper fragments from the waves of monesters and youc an only get event reward once a day
I feel sorry for their continuous attempt to have Open World have challenges when a simple instance with a squad (a.k.a raid) would do it. sigh
The timer + the overflows really kill this event I agree.

That is the main reason why people rush to big servers like Desolation or Blackgate (brand only) which creates even more problems for those servers that suddenly have bazillion overflows and people on their home server can’t get into the main.
Plus waiting for X hours because you might wind up in the wrong overflow is just simply not fun gamepay.

Why are you waiting 2 hours in once zone? At the least.. show up an hour early.
Last night I just bounced back and forth between the two zones as the bosses spawned within an hour of each other. My waiting time was spent killing things and gathering mats…and having fun.

People wait in one zone because they want to fight on the main, that on most servers has the most organised people / highest chance of success.

When reading the title i thought it would be about putting in arbitrary “complete by” timers on boss events.

This thread does have some points, but come on!
People guest over to the biggest servers on the first day of the patch and find themselves in overflows? What a shock!

Hey I don’t agree with it, but that’s what tons of people did late last night, after a few failed events on home server. Which made our home efforts harder later, because so many determined people guested. I guess it happens because of they know how Teq “worked”. Bigger servers get it done on some overflows, while smaller ones, not so much.
