Maybe don't add a surprise double XP event while the server is already under a heavy load and not

performing well. If any old players returned to check things out I'm sure they aren't impressed. Same with any new players.

Makes it kind of pointless if I can’t even take advantage of the Daily Random XP, when Dungeon Group Finder is broken. Makes no sense to have this event now.

Yesterday if I got 3 others we could at least que ourselves, now the lag is so bad that even with 4 people and insta que, it takes longer for the server to realize all 4 players clicked ready so it keeps kicking us out.

It's nice that they try to do something. Some companies wouldn't even do that much. Unfortunately, it's after an update that made broke dungeon queues and many people are having login problems. So really, the net result would just add more frustration to people which I don't think anyone really considered. Perhaps they should extend upcoming events so that we have events straight through from the jesters till the end of the Jubilee (anniversary). By then, all this stuff will hopefully be fixed.

Their intention was good so credit for that.

Have to agree.

I wonder if it was actually a "surprise" event or whether someone just actually forgot to tell us. I mean, comms is so bad in this game, that's actually a possibility, right?

I have had two days of crashes, crappy experiences in Cyro, skills not firing even in bobby-basic overland, and I was kicked out of housing 8 times (yes, 8....).

I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed.

They have used the Explorer's Event as a surprise before, even starting it in game before posting any information about it, so I do not think it was anyone forgetting to tell us. I think they are trying to see if surprise events are effective at population retention and how they compare to events where they give us a week or two worth of notice. (They at one point mentioned giving us quarterly notice, but that lasted... about a quarter.)
