Phase 5 is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve

[Tyrinthiel]

Does phase 6 really need to be pushed back with 1.8? Cant we just have phase 5 end on thursday like normal and have phase 6 last 2 weeks?

LOL on my server we have only like 2500 out of 100000 lol it will take for ever!!!

Another week of phase 5 won't do anything.
On Sagespire (Low pop pvp server) were on something like 350/100000.
Nobody's contributing because we all know there's no way of getting that much progression. If it was 10k there still wouldn't be any chance of us getting it.
However, If warfronts went towards this, Then it's most likely we would achieve phase 5. I didn't get the phase 4 title (Or any of the other titles for that matter). I even asked a GM why our server couldn't purchase the phase 4 title, And it's because we didn't reach the goal. These world events are way to hard, I hope that for future events Trion will make the population of servers the priority for the events. If it's a low pop server, Make the goal lower, It its a high pop server, Make the goal higher.
I'm not asking Trion to spoon feed content to us, I'm just asking them to make the goal a little more reachable.
I know for sure our server won't be getting any of the titles, Which makes me a little sad.
Please Trion, Could you think through the future world events more thoroughly.
Thanks.

The reality is that we wanted a little more time to get Update 1.8 ready for prime time and, at the same time, wanted to make sure everyone could enjoy all parts of Phase 5 as well.

This allows us to hit two birds with one stone - we know the update has tons of awesome stuff in it, but we still won't release it until we're ready. It's why we rarely give more than a few days notice about the release of our updates anyways, the World Events just happened to put a giant neon sign on our target dates this time around.

As we've said though - we're not afraid to try new things, hit or miss we're always working to make the game interesting and fun in different ways!

okay idc abt 1.8 being pushed back i rather have them work on it more then being buggy!! another thing is if u guys complain phase 5 is impossible and then they r sayin they will help u by making it a week extra to help this you complain abt 1.8 being pushed back! there is still stuff to do make an alt level professions do crifts ya know the devs arent GOD they do try their hardest to please players but cant make everyone happy. i prefer it being pushed back then it being launched and it is not ready. point blank.

The 100,000 is stupid hard. Millrush was around 3,500 and even if it was extended a month, I doubt we would reach the goal

I seem to remember a time when Trion told us that PvP would never be forced on the open world.

Now I will agree that much like the PvP rifts, this event phase is not "forcing." They are not turning on my pvp flag without my consent and "forcing" me to fight defiant.

However, That's only a technical definition of forcing. Forcing also occurs when you create a world event based around open world pvp, replace some of the zone events with pvp events, and tell your player base "you're not killing each other enough, so we'll extend the event another week."

Sorry, but telling people you won't force them to pvp and then giving them nothing but pvp content is still forcing. That, or I suppose they could log out and not play for a few weeks.

By the way? Wolfsbane is, as far as I know, still one of if not the highest populated server. We're just shy of a week now in this event and Guardians are at 9600 credits. So I'm also going to throw my hat into the "extending this phase another week is only going to serve to piss people off while STILL not completing the event" ring.

Yeah, I play on a RP-PvE server and on 4/2/2012 we are at 11613/100000 (defiant side) From what I remember faeblight is one of the most populated servers and there is no way we're meeting this goal.
(we've met every other goal in about 2 days)

(Full disclosure - I'm on low population PvE server, heavily role-play character)

Phase 5 seems geared very heavily toward PvP, sure. But I disagree that we're being "forced" into it. There's still plenty to do in the game, even within the Carnival. Who doesn't like to kill coyotes while polymorphed into a Troll?

While this phase, its extension, and a delay of 1.8 seems to have generated some degree of grumbly-ness from the community, the game still offers quite a wide variety that most of us unhappy with some part can go find another part to be happy with.

I personally would like to see a pvp quest be apart of all world event phases.
That way they don't feel left out. Make it so that by doing just the pve or pvp quests, it is possible to complete the phase by busting *** the whole week or by having people work on both quest line it is completable with moderate to hard effort.
Now in full disclosure, I don't pvp, ever.
I've got 2 50's, a 42, a 38 and 2 chars in their 20's and I have like 50 favor(and no idea how I got that!)
It's just not a part of the game I enjoy but I fully support those that do.

you probably died in RoS and for whatever reason, that seems to give you favor and update your definat kill count.

it updates the defiant kill count if you die from fall damage too xD

I say everyone just drop the world event and not do anything because it's a futile effort at best. Me personally, I could care less about this lame "world event" wanabe... I'm just doing the dubloon quest, get me sparkle pony and then do the IA's for PA. I'll wait for 1.8 to pop and hopefully we'll get a "real" world event this time and not this lame, balloon popping nonsense...

One of the reasons the count is so low is because the quest to turn in war trophies is bugged. Without that quest being available we can't turn in all the war trophies we've collected.

A Dev posted somewhere that war trophies are also supposed to be dropping in warfronts but they aren't. I'm guessing once they fix the bugs for the extended week, meeting the goal will become significantly easier.
