All Shards - Phase 2 of the World Event has Been Delayed

[Amarinth]

I guess this was to be expected, but I'm really curious on this:

The extra sourcestone that the EU realms most likely got from Phase 2, they are going to be keeping it I'm assuming? While I'm not usually one to complain about "unfair," it really kinda is unfair from the standpoint if the event restarts from Phase 2 for them, they get even more sourcestone. QQ :P

Anyway, hope you can get the bugs worked out soon.

I actually made fewer stones per hour during phase 2 killing the big bosses than I have done in phase 1 doing regular rifts and invasions, because the bosses only drop 10 stones and they take forever to kill. And that is if you get credit at all - if you disconnect right before the end or you lag too badly to make a useful contribution you get absolutely nothing.

I actually got more stones from AoEing on the occasional invasion force that wandered by than the 10 measly stones I got for spending 40 minutes killing a 10mil HP boss. :/

While I appreciate the delay, for the sake of assuring a quality gameplay experience, it simply isn't fair to players to cancel an event right before it goes live. I'm sure Trion realizes this, and I hope they do better next time.

You guys should think of having a TEST SERVER, to try out these events and new stuff beforre releasing them, liike most of the Big MMO,s out there!!

Sad part is there IS a test server and the events were "tested".

[Fomalhaut]

QQ more PLS!!!

I called in late so I could play an hour of phase 2. How long is Phase 2 going to run for?

You mean the Alpha Server...

I don't like the part about "continue earning otherworldly sourcestone" makes me think that you can only earn that in phase 1...

I totally called in late to work today so I could participate in this event D:

Wish they had a better estimate on how soon I can play because I now work the late shift and may miss the event entirely! I want my achieve :'(

[Ainilome]

Since I still have no idea how long phase 2 will run, and everything I've read sounds like it won't be long, I'm going to be super sad if I miss it because I reschedule my work day to give me a few extra hours of free time around the launch.

I'm fine with delay, but for cripes sake give us some kind of ETA.

[Alt key]

Thanks for the quick action! No doubt people will be in shortly complaining about how they took today off work just for the event and why was it delayed and such, but in the meantime, keep up the hard work!

I'm really disappointed about this. I switched over from WoW because of a number of reasons, one being that it seemed like Rift wouldn't have delays on patches and events.

Guess I was wrong.

Really? That's the only reason why you switched? Go back, then.

[Niaria]

I'm a little disappointed too as I reserved my afternoon for the opening of phase two. Good to know that my time will now be wasted waiting.

[Contay]

I hope that there is ample warning when the event starts in earnest, then. No one wants to miss out on rewards of participation.

So you left WoW for something inherent for every single online game? Well then.

They do have a test server. If you would have read the message they said something that would ONLY APPEAR IN LIVE SERVER ENVIRONMENTS. Yeesh.

[Festina]

Good that you are fixing it, but not happy that much people changed their Saturday todo this. Planned for a nice afternoon and evening.

Now i proably cant join the event because of work.
