After playing BnS for 1 year, I learnt that not all events are doable (or I should say can be maximized in terms of profit) by all tiers of players.
I complaint initially, but now I accept this fact since it does make sense to have some variations.
As someone pointed out above, the previous event was already very good for all players. Now the other pattern comes in, next will be another pattern of event. Then after a few, will come back to the good one like previous event. Circle of life.-

This is roughly the same with the event last year where you need to do solo dungeons and transmute the Party Table.
Those with better gears can clear Circle of Sundering and get better rewards.
Those with lower gear has to just accept the fact that they are lower tier and complete Yunsang to still be able to do the event but with lower rewards.
At that time not many people complaint except me. I complaint so much in forum and also through support ticket......
Now I get used to this pattern, if I am not strong enough to clear event dungeons to get better rewards (Octas), then let it be... I still take part in the event with lower rewards....

Are you kidding ? Octo gems / 3 part TT SS are incredible rewards for many ppl, except those that are already TT geared and can actually do the event.
The whole thing makes no sense.
TT1-3 is so easy now with MSP.
You obviously need the gear to do stage 6 MSP,
If you dont have good gear (VT SS A6+), why do you even want to skip VT SS and get TT SS?
Step by step........

@Cyan please confirm
the full patch notes still does not list down what are being changed from the Temple of Eluvium and NIghtfall Sanctuary raids. Arent you supposed to list down the nerfs in details?

they cant do a 1h maintenance....for example if they do a backup that alone will take more than 1-2 hours....
I think they can... instead of backing up data for 1 week... they can backup data for 1 day instead :)

True, i tihnk it may have to do with some other team thats only available at that time i tihnk, maybe the dev team i think. So we may be dealing here not just with NC time zone but also a different teams time zone.
How about maintenance 30 mins - 1 hour per day? Will that not be helpful to ALL players?
Eventhough more trouble for NCsoft, but they should work more and get more rewards when many players are happier :P -
Agree. Nerfing mechs makes it not so attractive and less challenging. A bit boring tbh.
Btw, Eckogen, when will you use marker on your guide videos? :P It will really help to understand and focus on the things that you try to show. :P

I understand it can be annoying but you have to remember its an american based company so everything in terms of maintenance etc will be done during their business hours.
It would be the same if it was the other way around. I know a game hosted by an EU publisher in US, and the maintenance time there is based on EU time, as thats the business hours.
If they would split up the maintenance per region it would cause them a lot of issues since its the same client thats used for both.
Yup I understand it is an American company. But if it is about business hour, they could do it even later, No?
It is still within their business hour even if it is pushed back 4-5 hours later.
Splitting up the maintenance is a lot of work, I understand.

Not being able to play for a few hours wont kill you.
maybe get a life then you are occupied when they fix their servers.
This is not wrong but let me tell you that it is very HARMFUL for EU/Asia players.
For you people in NA, of course, it is early morning time, the impact of even 5 hrs maintenance is very little.
For us in EU/Asia, trust me it is VERY ANNOYING.
When you have time to play in the evening, you can't play because of maintenance, and you lose BOTH 1 day event reward as well as 1 day premium. As many hard-core players like me, I force myself to have less sleep on the maintenance day.... but still I wish they don't do it every week or actually do it at other timing or even just make it short 30 minutes-1 hour per day.

Event is ending and still no word?
Cyan, what happened to engaging with the community? Engaging with radio silence?
RIP............
Let's see what they will say in the streaming today/tomorrow @.@
Next week is the new event right? So they should be streaming soon.

It is already RIP status.
Most likely gonna stay like this.
They could have fixed it easily 1 week after the patch if they wanted.

Only 2-3 failed attempts at entering MOML? Heh I think the average number is more like 20-30+ before a successful attempt.
NCW you proud of yourself right now? Turning your EVENT into a complete clicker-fest? See who can click the fastest to even participate while 90% of people can't enter cause you decided to limit the frickin entry ticket for no apparent reason?
I'm gonna get some popcorn and wait to see the white knights galloping into here with some more retarded excuses for why "there's nothing wrong with this".
alright, 2-3 failed attempts to enter MOML with dozens others asking YOYL :)
I got lucky that I managed to grab the last slot at MOML on my 4th attempt (which is >10 mins to find), but i am sure many people are having difficulties to enter!
Need to be sooooooooooooo fast, and if your 'Y' button doesn't work due to in keyboard typing mode, at that moment you will feel: OHHHHHHHHH FFFFFFFFF............!!! -
Orb of Ascensions Too Rare Nowadays, Not easy to do events.
Not sure why they only limit the free orbs from F10 until 22nd March only?
Why has to be so stingy? Why? They made mistake on the White orbs but why still so stingy to give so few Orbs, much lesser than what we lost.....
Those lobbies that have orbs and advertising having orbs get filled within less than 1 sec (I am NOT JOKING!!! LITERALLY <1 second!)\
Those lobbies that dont have orbs dominate much more, YOYL and need orb everywhere.
Today I had to spend quite long time (30mins+) to find Cold Storage and Heaven's Mandate because of having no orb (used mine yesterday) and missed 2 - 3 lobbies that have orb (filled too fast <1second).
This event has become frustrating instead of fun........................I hope no one here is going to blame me for being slow to enter the lobbies that have orbs (which are rare)

This is real fact in the game. THose rooms with orbs are filled in less than 1 second.
So difficult to get Orbs now, how to even do this event without having to spend Gold to buy orb shards?
I spent really long time waiting yesterday to complete the events
-
RIP Guys.
It has been confirmed that there will be no Orb/DSS antique changes today in the maintenance to fix the mistake in their communication.
Read it here:
It is permanent. Our old White orbs and DSS are now history.
RIP.

On the topic of pressuring them more, is there a way to contact ncsoft such as by email or a suggestion ticket?
Useless.
They will say consider writing in the forum (which you had done).
If the thread is 'hot' enough, they will look at it and respond.Otherwise, it will just be gone to the wind.
-
Miscommunication thing is just an excuse, really.
I think the producer deserves to take the blame, it was said so clearly in the stream and he didn't even realize?
AND after 7 days this kind of mistake happened, just said sorry?
Let me tell you what they will do!
I AM PRETTY SURE IT WON'T BE MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THIS:
"They will put the new orb as free 0 HMC to be purchased for certain period, 1x per account per day."
Want to bet?

@prietess There is also an EN server between EU servers. The koldrak lair events here are at 2pm, 5pm, 8pm, 11pm, 2am GMT +1, that means 9pm, 12am, 3 am, 6 am, 9 am GMT +8. The first two time slots are exactly like you suggested.
Wogh that sounds nice... i have never tried EU... but then I am already at NA T.T

I did bring this up a long time ago because I too found it really difficult. The only timing I can really go for is the one at 3am since the others would occur while I was at work. I suggested to let Koldrak appear every 3 hours throughout the day and if the devs only ever intended for players to do it a maximum of 5 times a day they can simply put a 5/5 lockout to stop people with no jobs or school from doing all of them. I hope they never tie Koldrak to another event like they did before until they see to this issue.
Oh? How long time ago, do you remember?
That's very bad........ NCSoft is not listening?
As you said, 3am timeslot is ridiculous, we have work and life too. Without work where do the money to buy Premium/NC Coins come from? And not to mention maintenance time happening at your prime time to play and very often cost you 1 day of not being able to play due to long maintenance or delayed completion (and wasted 1 day premium) and so on.
Why are they not listening? T.T Come on GM.... we are also part of the community :) If we don't deserve a few slots (6pm, 9pm, 00am GMT+8) due to our low number, don't we deserve at least 1, let's say 9pm or even 00am? hahahaha.

Cuz English is an international language that Asian tend to learn more than Chinese, Thai or Vietnamese? In a MMORPG, being able to communicate is important to some people, enough that that they can tolerate high ping, low DPS, as long as they can blend into the community.
Sure, you can get a small group of your own people in those servers, if you search hard enough. However, remember that your group will be very small, similar to how small English speakers in Taiwan server. It is like staying at a relative's home in a foreign country without understanding the language: your activities will be much more limited, you cannot talk to everyone, and some native players may discriminate you if they know you to be a foreigner (tend to happen in Asian server).
Meanwhile, in a Western server where everyone speaks English, you with English reading/speaking skills taught from your education (Asian tends to teach English), you can easily talk to everyone, have fun in a melting-pot community. You don't need to be in a group of your own people, cuz you can just play with virtually everyone. Bonding with community is important in a MMORPG, enough to glue players to the game for a long-term playing.
Back to Koldrak's schedule, spreading the raid time out will not only benefit people from another hemisphere, but also people in the same hemisphere. Do you know some people sleep in daytime and work in nighttime? Having a more flexible schedule benefits them too, cuz they don't play at the same time as a normal native player, despite of being native players themselves.
I totally agree with you tbh.
Remember that Asia is not only China or Chinese speaking countries. There are many other countries who don't speak Chinese or the local language (Korean etc).
But we all learn English.
Very true It is very important to be able to communicate as your free will and thats the main reason why i chose NA, at the cost of incredibly high ping (400ms) and very bad maintenance timing (our evening time, normal playing time)
Back to Koldrak's timing, I don't know if writing here will help? I wrote a few topics but no GM / moderator actually really replied me so far.

Its most likly like that because asians arent targeted customers. Na and eu were targeted to na and eu ppl so i realy doubt they gona change it just because ppl from other regions plays here. Although i woul suggest them to add more koldrak times during day. Like every 2-3h starting from midnight that would solve this problem not only for ppl who choose to play from other regions but also for ppl who might work 2nd half of day when koldrak opens :)
Did you mean starting from EST midnight or Asia timezone midnight?
If from EST midnight, isn't it already there? Cmiiw.

There's at least 4 different versions of the game in Asia. Not sure why you decided to play the western version to begin with.
I like English speaking community that's why i went to Western server~~~~

Hello, how do asian players tackle timing constraint for Koldrak's Lair?
They are like 6am(?), 9am, 12pm, 3pm and I guess there is one at 3am Asia timezone? Current timing are not friendly for people having a job in Asia timezone.
I could only do koldrak on weekends and hence even if i have been playing for 4 months, i still couldn't get enough Scales for Garnet gem.
Can I propose at least one time slot for Koldrak that is ''friendly'' for Asian players when most asian players are online?
For example it could be 9pm GMT+8 timezone or 00am GMT+8 timezone.
Don't you think that we deserve at least 1?
Can GM please consider this ?

My point is if you have A6 and VT SS , you can do MSP to get TT 1-3 especially with weekend double rewards.
