    Super hyped about running FG1 324 times a day in order to get these beautiful collectibles. They've really mastered the 'grind away all your enjoyment' event strategy.

    (If you can't hear it through all the salt, I had really hoped they'd rethought this whole thing a little.)

    Is this just the stress test or the real deal this time?

    And if it is the real one, why so short? There’s all this stuff to get and barely 4 days to get it? Don’t make good sense.

    "To help us reach the desired population and Activity Finder load, we are re-enabling the Undaunted Event from Thursday, January 9 at 10:00AM EST through Monday, January 13 at 10:00AM EST."


    They did frame it as a stress test, but otherwise the length of the event/content/etc seems to be the same as the previously cancelled one.

    It was always going to be this short.

    I don't know how long the Midyear Mayhem event is supposed to last, but I'm wondering whether that event will start later in the same week that the Undaunted event ends (that is, Thursday, January 16), or the week after that (Thursday, January 23). Not that it does much good to speculate about that, but it's hard not to! :)

    Maybe they straight up turned off bg’s to lessen the load on the group finder.

    So far so good, can't queue for random normal on my heal for the second day. Before the "improvements" it took a few seconds per try, now more than 1 hour of waiting in queue and no result. Short queues of 2-10 minutes don't give any results either.

    The Undaunted event is always short. I'm not sure why, even before they introduced event tickets it only ran for about a week.

    But it does sound like they're presenting this one as a stress test, which is interesting. It makes sense in that it's coming in the middle of their performance improvement plan, but I do wonder what they're going to do if it breaks again and they have to cancel the event early. I suspect that will just be promise to reschedule it again, but I'm not sure how many times players will tolerate that before they just don't bother to join in because it's assumed it won't work.

    So question. Is the hefty box drop from each vet boss the first time you run it or just the first overall boss of the day? And is that account based or character based?

    This is a joke, don't know for pc-na, but on pc-eu the dungeon finder is even more broken than before. Last time I tried we couldn't get a pledge dungeon, in the middle of the afternoon, by listing with a tank and a healer. This event is dead before it even started

    Aw yiss the perfect time to run my nearly level 50 healer through every dungeon for those sweet sweet skill points.
    and the perfect time to have completed my tank build.

    I am probably only going to run these support classes to be honest.

    So my flatmate forgot to tell me that our internet contract ran out today and decided to get a new provider, so was like ok....

    ....."Oh just a little snag...wouldn't be starting/getting the new box till the 21st of Jan".....Fumming!

    Looks like I will be missing this event out. RIP!

    More info about Dungeon Finder. Tried to queue with the full group for the Random Normal dungeon. And it went into queue. Never started the dungeon. So it is totally screwed up at this point.

    Just to note, if someone of zos forum staff checks the thread, the dungeon finder is not working today, numerous people from guild are complaining to sit in the queue for the 1 hour straight, un-queue and queue again did not help.

    Based on how the Dungeon finder is now and has been working for the past few weeks. I say get on as soon as the Undaunted Event goes live, and get a group in to a dungeon as the event will not be live for long.

    Ugh! I really hope they don't cancel it this time, as just walking up to the dungeon still works. For those of us planning to just solo (or duo, in my case) normal dungeons, it would be pretty crappy to have it cancelled yet again, before I can even participate. I start work as the event goes live so, no, I can't get on immediately once the event starts, unless I use up a sick/vacation day.

    Ah well, if it gets cancelled, no real biggie, since my only interest in the pages is to sell them. Plus, I'm not worried about chasing any more indriks, so won't mind missing the tickets (though they'll make up for that if the event is cancelled).

    I do wonder, though, why they are requiring that you own the normal version of the shoulder pages before you can buy the opal versions. In theory, you can get an opal mask without having the normal version.

    They dont intend for everyone to get everything.

    I plan on setting aside several million gold to purchase what I don't get.

    After sitting in healer queue for 1 hour 45 minutes today without a single pop up, I'm slightly less optimistic about this event.

    Exactly! I'm a big seller so I hope I have some good RNG and can stash these pages to sell to folks such as you (I don't gouge prices either ;) )

    When using the Dungeon Finder, be sure to check your notifications if you get stuck in the "Ready Check" phase. It's been happening that after selecting "Ready", one person will have the ready check appear again, but only in their notifications and without any prompts or other indication that they have a new notification. The group can stay in "Ready Check" indefinitely until the affected person selects "Yes".

    I'm over these grind-a-thon 'events'. In fact, I think I'll sit this one out. I have no interest in the opal style pages, and the rest of the loot is pedestrian.

    I'm not holding my breath with this at all. After how many overhauls and re-writes of the LFG system, I'm pretty much expecting this to just be cancelled after the second day.
