That was an event for a little distraction

Do you like such social events?
Did you RP-ers enjoy this occasion to play your characters?

How did you like a little fight on the end?
Were you XP-hunters, loot-seekers and kill-everything-in-your-sight-passionates happy to be suprised this way?

Give your opinion here and we'll know if we should organise more of those in future.


Oh, one more thing... Did you take your souvenir photo?

Yes, even though there were a few things I didn't like at all or that could have been done in an other, prolly better way:

I didn't like:
*The permanent whining for module 5
*The heavy lagspikes
*That the "parade" was very hasty and uncontrolled
*Some people that kept using foul language and had nothing better to do than to let us know how bad this event is and so on... guys, noone forced you to watch or to participate. Go to GH for the 12459284752 time and please let the RPers who like the event enjoy it!

My suggestions:
*Try to get more GMs for the next event and let them make raid groups so people won't get lost and the groups might be a bit more "controlled" or find a way to "mark" the GM somehow that makes it easier to follow.
*Slow down a bit next time - no need to move like a snail but there is also no need to rush like 40 Dragons are behind the group
*Mention in some OOC-note that this might be RP only and will not give any rewards, exp or other stuff except fun
*When spawning mobs pleas remember the spell- and skillspam that will happen then and cause heavy lags so better always just a few at a time but for a longer time

1. Yes
2. Dunno, I am none
3. Done

Well that's all I can think of at the moment, that was just my 2 cents

Gadreel/Anchesa/...many others

Well for me, it took me away from crucible ransack runs

I'm not a role player, but if i was, not sure i'd have liked it either as there was no RP interaction

I'm not going to say if it was good or bad +Sen as i'm very sure something else is going to happen with todays event

Would have been awesome if you locked the Theater and spawned until people were dead, hehehe

It was a good idea, and nice to see so many people out together. However I think Thanos was in the plot as we all DC'd and got killed at the end

During the social part (the parade itself) lag wasn't actually causing problems.
During the fight however (even when there were always less than 5 opponents at one time!) it was a major issue. We believe we learnt our lesson and that we'll be able to avoid such problems in future.

As for Thasos - he ensures he was not in plot with any of the attackers. As a proof he shows a bump on his head. He've been knocked out for a while so he missed part of the fight.

Hmmm I reckon that was faked. He got knocked out only when we died? Sounds suspicious to me.

There was a fight? I am confused.

I did the march and were told it was a photo opportunity. That was swiftly destroyed due to hundreds of people spamming buffs on the (single) statue. Once it was camouflaged and made invisible the photo opportunity was rather pointless.

When I left, after about 10 mins of hanging around, a lot of other people had already left. At that point the GM had not mentioned anything for 10 mins or so and I think most people assumed it had finished.....
