I understand the mentality of the event inactivity timer, it makes sense. It’s good so people don’t go all around the map instead of completing events all the way through. But my gosh it still needs work.
I just did two events in a row in Verdant brink (ok, 1 bugged, 1 fine, and then the other bugged), where I was not given my reward due to ‘inactivity’.
First was escorting Dr Elly to the base. I rezzed 2 pact soldiers, fought some mobs, made sure DR elly got to the base, but because she took so long talking to the other 2 NPCs from their events, I was given event inactivity. I had the event all the way until she made it to the destination, but then got nothing.
Same thing after we appointed Dr elly as the leader of this base. Went out, rezzed 2 pact soldiers, saw no more in my area, found 5 of them and followed them to the base. INACTIVITY.
I’m sorry!? I know Sylvari have a hard time in HoT but I didn’t think the good doctor was going to be racist against my Sylvari Warrior!! Seriously though…this system needs to get worked on. I don’t remember having a problem with the system until recently, I feel like something might have changed in one of the patches.
TL:DR = Event inactivity, Good idea, NEEDS WORK.
Who knew the Jungle was filled with so much Salt water?!
