 Then they should have got in contact with Xarkly when he was awake and asked for the details of how he wanted to go. Not take the reins and go – sure, lets just do what we want.

 

 

Ive been hearing from staff they they have tried to contact xarkly on what he needs and when it will be held but they didnt get a response

In other words, instead of just having us make the journey to the wall and open the door, and just go in and wait for tomorrow for Xarly – some people decided it was a lovely time for a PVE event and the spawning of Vaeyl mobs that would take at least 8 players to take down 1 Vaeyl mob, and the mass spawning caused the lagging and disconnection. Then have multiple disconnections during the transfer to the Serrimor Transition map and leave us there with no equipment and food, and our characters now trapped in a frozen wasteland.

 

As someone who actively took part in the Vaeyl Eventline. So much lore was broken, so much bloody lore!

The Red Vaeyl shouldn’t have even attacked, they would be waiting at Serrimor for us.

The mists shouldn’t have been mists, they were meant to be the smokes of the smoke drake, Avendal.

 

ET wasn’t aware? Then they should have got in contact with Xarkly when he was awake and asked for the details of how he wanted to go. Not take the reins and go – sure, lets just do what we want.

 

SO congratulations – you messed up one of the amazing eventlines I got to take part in and I feel so sorry for Xarkly when he wakes up and sees this.

Spoiler

 

Sad mistakes were made. Oh well, best see what comes of it.

I feel awful for Conor when he wakes up. Perhaps next time the event should be left to run by the person who actually knows the lore.

But seriously though, https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/179635-apologies-for-botched-event/

why do you sound like such a cop goddamnit

 

and transition events have always been bad and dumb it’s literally fine

[DahStalker 3692]

Conor worked hard on this. You guys just did what you wanted with someone's event just to ‘end it’ or get some pve. Just like with Mordskov – history has repeated itself. Smh just smh 

[Strife 266]

This was embarrassing, even for a mineman RP server

I come back from work to this. What a fantastic event guys. Really well done. I loved how everyone got insta-killed, my favourite part.

Jesus ******* Christ just be patient for once and let Xarkly do what he planned.

Like, I don’t care if you want to do it at a time “for the people outside of our **** timezone.” Just do it at 6am (my timezone), and I’ll still try to show up, as I’ve been doing for any other event.

Its not entirely xarkly's fault but I've been asking these questions for the last week. It's not like we decided until this morning to ask what was going to happen. Staff communication for this whole ordeal was honestly terrible. Really inexcusable how badly the cross team communication was.

Why not let him do the event then? Holding it at 2am gmt on a wednesday and expecting him to be there is dumb.

all's well that ends well, I think! vaeyl canyon rp has been more enjoyable than atlas has been for several months

 

did the ETs in charge of the event just not show up today or something? 

 

oh xarkly was going to do this event and then you jumped the gun and started it before he could. very cool guys, very cool 

[ScreamingDingo 20568]

I feel bad jinxing it the past few weeks I swear I didn't wish for it to be this bad

Xarkly is doing the events while we're on this transition map. But timings got changed because people's schedules changed. This was the only time llir was available and the rest of us just weren't available at all.

 

Instead of just turning the server to dev mode and having everyone randomly appear on the new map, llir and the administration did this little event to try and explain how we ended up on the transition.

 

 

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of transition maps because they promote this apathy in the player base because many people view it as temporary thus not worth taking seriously. But these transition periods are both important for rp and technical reasons. Rply there needs to be some sort of narrative as to how we end up on a new map. On the technical side we need time to perform the update.

 

 

All on all. Proo planning and communication combined with scheduling issues combined and we ended up with a pretty disastrous transition.

Why wasn’t this planned beforehand?? Why did we only hear news about the world edit like hours before, surely this is something that would of been shared days before with an exact location and time? Also on a day where is suitable for most players like a weekend not the middle of the week. The fact you said that kowaman did an event to make sure people don’t just randomly appear on a new map shows how completely disorganized and not planned this was. Time and time again we wear ‘Lessons will be learnt’ and ‘We will fix communications between teams.’ The same bullshit apology and scapegoat as always, like every transition map or time the staff **** up, you say the same things and nothing ever changes.

Vaeyl lore broken in this event?
