Non-instigator events stalling
I agree. The incessant glitching of events makes it inconvenient for everyone in Southsun, especially when they’re trying to get the 25 achievement points in a day or so. I had a terrible luck streak today. I was at 24 out of 25 achievement points and I only needed to complete 1 event. It took 6 hours to finally complete it. Why? All of the events stalled. When I finally found an event, it was a patrol event, and right as we reached the end…. I disconnected. This happened with almost every event that I DID find, and if I didn’t disconnect, I forgot to talk to the Negotiators so I can get the achievement. Still, even without all of the extra disconnects and excessive forgetfulness, I still would have been in Southsun for a good 4 hours.
The biggest problem with this is it happens with every new piece of content. It happened with Orr at launch, it happened with the first Southsun events, it happened with the Flame & Frost events, and now it’s happening with these Southsun events. Some of the supposedly fixed events still bug as well. It’s clear there’s a consistent problem with ArenaNet’s QA process, and there’s no sign they’re fixing it.
