Urgent : Devs! Event might be a disaster!

Yeah that would make me upset to not get the Panharmanicon. Plus I'm really not feeling the 6 hour cool down. This game is a grind not a "play for 30 mins, take 6 hours off, then play for 30 mins" game.

5 rounds with perfect runs and hitting every objective puts the maximum ribbons achievable at 420, just shy of 450.... So a 6th round is needed. If we even make it that far without the boss dying it will be a super quick race after the 6th respawn. I believe many of us will miss the final prize.

Has this perhaps been done on purpose so that everyone doesn't get the full progression reward?

I feel like this is especially problematic when you consider this is the first time we're playing off against these battles, so if you look at your secondary objectives, and pick the wrong strategy to meet them, you're screwed. I failed to meet the secondary objectives against the gremlin on the second node because of this, and fear that will mean there's zero change I'll get the Panharmonicon.

Also the calculation I read earlier needs to consider that Noxious Gearhulk is bugged, and doesn't give credit for the second artificer objective. I cast 7 supports when I completed that match and only got credit for "cast 4 or more supports" but not the "cast 1 or more support"

Yep, another event fail. You would think they learned from the first Avacyn event?

I basically started playing when the boss was at 50%. Now the boss is at 29% and I have 331 points. My nodes regain 1 charge each in 7 hours which is just before my bedtime.

To whomever designed the event timer: Can you please stop punishing players based on their timezone? Seriously. Everyone has a different schedule, you need to allow for that flexibility.

Casual and competitive play should always be kept separate. The coalition challenge should continue up until the boss is depleted of health. After that point in time, players should be able to continue for personal progression until the entire event ends (for a fixed length of time). It's not rocket science.

This is a timezone punishment, exactly the right word.... If there is a 6th round, it will be at 2 AM in Europe. So except if they extend the duration not just a little but a lot we will never get the rare reward in ANY of the next events except playing in the middle of the night every sunday

Agreed. See my post "A fairer way for boss events ?" In the Events forum

You forgot to link it for lazy people like myself.

So with the 4th round not yet complete (event started with 2 rounds available) and the West coast still asleep, we are at 20%. The next round (5) will surely be the last, shutting everyone out of the final progression prize. Maybe they could just give everyone the rare and pack? Seems ludicrous that a perfect score can't net the best personal prize.

Realistically, the devs can do math and figure out exactly how much health to give the big boss to finish whenever they like. Why bother doing it this way at all? Just make it a fixed number of rounds instead of an event where people have to stress about being on right at the end to get their last few points. You also avoid snafu's like underestimating health and making the progression impossible.

Boss is at 17%. I have 325 points. I've missed a total of 15 possible points, all from secondary objectives. Respawn isn't for another hour and a half. It won't be enough to reach 450. The boss will be dead in 6 1/2 hours when it will be enough possible points. The event is impossible to finish.

People relax.... the prize will be given out... we will not get the reward today but they will compensate us somehow. If we have to run the event again great.... more rewards for all.... you people are such negative Nancy's

Normally I would agree with you, but Thalia is still fresh in my memory.
