TeahAmi-DN Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Have tiamaranats eye event in April but give us Daeva Dash this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesecake-DN Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Daeva's Dash is broken (and exploitable), so I'd imagine waiting for a fix would be better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeahAmi-DN Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Surely it won't take that long, have Daeva Dash at the end of the month, and Tiamarants Eye end of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You underestimate the staff’s ability to fix events. Daeva Dash would be a complete failure if not fixed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah! Give us broken and exploitable things so we can cry about them being broken and exploitable! If you don't, we will cry about not having them RIGHT NOW!!! Either way, we are going to cry. You can't win, NCWest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1s367359-DN Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The event was announced for February, I think its fair to ask why NCsoft needs more than 5 weeks to fix the event when 3 would suffice. What TeahAmi asked is actually reasonable, if you consider that in the past for things like Shugo Emperor Vault fixes came in within a week.

Bryos-DN Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 No, it is not reasonable. The event was announced a long time ago, yes. But the issues that came with the event werent noticed until last week. And these are not simple changes, they are core changes to the mechanics related to the instance. These will take time, even if the Dev team in Korea is fast. On top of that, the glitches experienced in those events did not prevent you from completing the instance, these do. So, yes, completely unreasonable to have that event running without those fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesecake-DN Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 But how are people going to exploit the instance (since they followed the EU stuff and know about the exploits) if NCsoft takes the time to try to fix the exploits? Geez! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean KR released the broken event too and still haven't fixed it? Do they have 0 QA in KR? And since EU got the broken event, told KR it was broken, KR didn't consider telling USA Ncsoft "Hey, you know that event you want to add in a couple of weeks? Yeah, it's broken" ? Also, I don't see how any of the fixes would be core mechanic changes. So fixing that both sides get all the skills and not being stuck perma dead is a core change now? Afaik there was only the one exploit, and it was due to server lag, if you looted during normal times you could never get more rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aly-DN Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 @Targutai-KT. Welcome to Aion. Been here since '09 and nothing you said seems odd to me. It's business as usual in Aion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAnTung-KT Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Real game developers don't need 5 weeks to fix an event. Other games I have played would crush this issue in a matter of days. Sorry but I agree with what some people are saying that delaying to April is way too long. The issue isn't about 'wanting a broken instance' the issue is 'it should not be taken so long to fix it and subsequently it being delayed'. Korea had this event long before EU I am surprised they are only noticing it now. Honestly stop defending NCsoft Korea because 5 weeks is unacceptable and just shows how incompetent and lazy they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aly-DN Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It's not defending. It's being realistic. Having played this game almost from the word GO, this is normal. You can complain and cry and whine and call them names all you like and it isn't going to change. If it bugs you so much, the door is that way because it sure as hell isn't going to change.

MissAnTung-KT Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 If it's normal how can we even expect events like Tiamaranta's eye to work properly. The map hasn't been in the game for years and it's huge for an event instance. If there are problems with that is it gonna take 5 weeks as well. Safest option is to have Daeva Dash first at the last week of March and have Tiamarants eye at the end of April. We put money into this game, we have a right to ask why the devs are incompetent. How can it be realistic when no event in the past took longer than 2 weeks in the past, yet all of a sudden 5 weeks is acceptable? My expectations for the game are both realistic and reasonable based on experience of the actual game, and there has been no update or event that justifies this sort of delay. I don't want broken events just like everyone else, but I am not gonna have the wool pulled over my eyes to believe this problem needs to take longer than 5 weeks to fix.

How can it be realistic when no event in the past took longer than 2 weeks in the past, yet all of a sudden 5 weeks is acceptable? *snip* I honestly don't understand what you are saying here. What do you mean "no event in the past took longer than two weeks"? I don't think we have ever been told that a planned event was actually broken. Events either happen or they don't. Occasionally we did get an event that was broken and in those cases, a hot fixes was rushed in. This event came to us broken. Good for NCWest on catching that. Something I also don't think you understand. Things that come out in Korea or in Russia or in the EU may work just fine for them but be broken when it gets to us because each of these regions has a slightly different game. For example, our Prestige Pack might clash with something. So Korea is told something doesn't work and they have to figure it out. Not sure if you noticed, but Aion NA isn't a high priority with NCWest. It's even less of a priority with NCSoft (in Korea). But don't listen to me. You keep throwing your little fit and demanding things now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeva's Dash won't be delayed too much further. We're working with the development teams and have already received some fixes for identified bugs. Once we have a better idea of the state of Daeva's Dash and feel comfortable with it, we'll schedule it and announce the date for everyone. Thanks!

Jayded-DN Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 HueHue-- Cry if they wait and fix it or Cry if it is broken and they run the event anyway. I have played since 09. I have played more than one MMORPG. ALL HAVE ISSUES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xauieo-DN Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I don't think the problem with "Daeva's Dash" Event is a simple one. As some are saying that it caused a lot of issues to the Union Server on EU, and it might possibly be one of the reason why 'Sanctum Defense' instance has been down on EU for about a month now (with no fix yet). Also the issues with "Daeva's Dash" was known after NA announced about it in the 'February Preview' thread on 2nd Feb (as also pointed out by "DevilNest" above), and we didn't really get a exact date for it. EU got the Event running for 3 days from 9th Feb until 11th Feb, and the bugs where found around that time. Truthfully, i would like the fixed version than the bugged version, as for the majority of players it always turned into a fail run from the start because of the bugs (on EU). And for that instance run, you only get rewarded with keys if you win the race (atleast on EU). If you lose, then no keys. By the way, EU is going to get "Daeva's Dash" again this week running from 9th March to 11th March. Though it seems that keys might not be available since as quoted by them this weeks event run is a "stress run and the keys will be available on later date". Most likely they are checking for more bugs, while applying on the main/live servers. So, if all things work fine (atleast on EU), we might get event soon here on NA as well.
