I spent the weekend trying to complete Snowden Drifts and ran into no less than four bugged events (one even caused a Heart NPC to become AWOL so I couldn’t interact with them to see what they had as rewards) and another was a skill challenge. During my trips back and forth from Lion’s Arch I also noticed a bugged event in Gendarran Fields.
Now, the sad part of all of this is those events remained bugged all weekend (poor Professor Bamm standing in the same spot in Gendarran almost to his goal all weekend)… I kept checking that Heart NPC hoping she’d be back but no luck. I even tried getting people to go to the zone so we could create an Overflow where people could go to interact with the areas that were broken on the regular server, no luck.
Here’s an idea for a fix… give all events a 30 minute timer where they’ll fail/reset if not completed as a short term fix until you can determine how to prevent them from bugging out. As an even shorter term fix, rebooting the servers daily would be welcomed so I don’t have an entire weekend where I can’t quest/interact with people in a given area.
