I don’t post much so coming here to give my opinion is a big deal for me. I’m very disappointed in the one time events idea since my work schedule requires me to be away from this game on Sundays which is apparently when the major one time events are going to occur. I was excited to participate in the one time events on Friday and Saturday until they actually occurred. I encountered the same problem of lag and confusion of what to do. Friday’s events were so bugged (NPCs not working) that I stopped trying to progress until today when they were apparently fixed. Then I come to find out that the broken quest line isn’t available anymore because it would be too much work to fix. At this point, I am okay missing this great event tomorrow since these last two were just embarrassing.
A company who isn’t afraid to learn from their failures, and this certainly was a failure, would do the right thing and come out publicly with an apology and explanation. I left Rift for this game. Rift is well known for their dynamic and special events. At one point, they had a finale to a special event that turned out to be a one time deal that literally lasted 20 minutes or less. The outrage on the forums looked just like this. Trion came out a couple days later with a public apology admitting that their event was a failure and that they owed their customers more. They went on to say that they would continue to try new things and these failures would be determining factors into the development of future events. I was hoping that you all would have learned from your failure with the Halloween one time event. Not only did you not learn, you have repeated your failure three fold (this event has 3 one time events). There is post after post in thread after thread about letting your players down. You justify your decisions with garbage about how Sunday at Noon PST is when you have the most players online. You won’t satisfy every player but you should at least try. You’re basically telling those players that don’t play at the peak times that you don’t care about them.
I will end with a praise: The Fractal dungeons are outstanding. I found myself thrilled after my first run through. I had a guild mate exclaim my exact thoughts while progressing through the one with the jumping and the mouse or kitten robots – “Now this is what a dungeon should be like!” Some of the mechanics and bosses are easy and some are difficult or frustrating which is exactly how it should be. The escalator of death was awesome. The reflect mirror tentacle guy was ridiculous. I sure hope these aren’t temporary because I can’t wait to see how the progression mechanic works.

I’m curious how map placement is determined. Is First Place always Green and in the bottom left, Second is Blue and in the bottom right, and Third is Red and at the top? Is it always that way?
I’m wondering because certain locations have specific strategic advantages. Our server is typically second so it seems we are stuck in the same placement.
I’d like to propose that the spawn locations be random for each week.

Hello,
I’d like to suggest that when you mouseover an item when are going to salvage it a tooltip appears showing the comparable item you have equipped. Said another way, if I am about to salvage a pistol and I have activated my salvage kit and have my mouse over the pistol, it will show the pistol I have equipped to compare before I salvage.
Currently, I salvage what I can’t use leaving the stuff I can use to compare after. Then I salvage the stuff I can wear that is inferior to what I am wearing.
Thank you,

I just received a chest for 100% completion of a map and received 2 Rare armor rewards. I was excited until I realized that one armor piece was Light and the other was Heavy. My character wears Medium.
I would like to suggest that rewards like these (100% map completion) be specific to the armor and weapon type of the character I am playing. It’s not much of a reward to me if I cannot use it.
Thank you for your consideration:

My issues with the Trading Company:
1. I entered a quantity of 10 for the item I wished to purchase. I pressed the Buy button and did not receive the transaction successful screen. I pressed the button a few more times and still did not receive the success screen. I then checked the Pick Up items tab and saw that I did in fact purchase all those stacks but never received the success screen.
2. I searched for an item, found it, and bought it. I then tried to search for another item and encountered a couple different errors – Sometimes, I cannot type in the search box – it appears to be selected and the cursor appears there but when I type I open bags and other screens. Other times, I am able to enter the text and hit search but when I click on the next item, it forces me back to the search.
I was able to fix these two scenarios by selecting a different tab in the trading company and then coming back to the search page. So, I have to switch tabs between all searches.
3. I was standing in front of a Trading Post NPC performing a search. I completed the purchase and before I could get the items, the NPC disappeared. This was in the crafting area of Divinity’s Reach.
I was able to locate another NPC in Queensdale to complete my transaction. That NPC is now gone so I found another in Hoelbrak. I’m not sure if these are “traveling vendors” or something but I keep having to find them to get the items I purchase. I’d be happier if the items were simply mailed to me upon purchase since I can buy them remotely.
