Go to UN if you want decent events, player count never exceeds 40 normally so you always get into one

ya, but, who wants to be in an event with only a few players

This is why I enjoy trivia, everyone can play. I have never once been into a queue event since this system was implemented.

I'm not a fan of the queue system, I haven't been in an event since it was introduced. I think the warpers were much better because they rewarded players who actually had experience and knowledge about the map, plus, finding the warper was often more fun than the event itself.

Except a couple hundred players in one level trying to get through an event warper would cause major lag, which is the number one thing players complain about on graal. The queue event system eliminates that problem.

The amount of lag that such a situation would produce really isn't a big deal. The crowding of the level would probably only last for a minute or two and if you consider how many players are already clumped together in places such as graal city and the adoption center, it's not going to have a huge impact in the grand scheme of things. I think the benefits of using warpers, some of which I stated earlier, far outweigh the issue of lag in this situation.

Edit: Also, if you consider how infrequent events are, it makes the occasional lag spike even less significant.

The warpers were better, if you think otherwise, you're wrong.

Y'know, I never had a problem with event warpers and lag before and I used to play events 24/7 with (ET). The thing is, event warpers typically took some time to fill up, so it actually (in most cases if the hint wasn't painfully obvious) wasnt a couple hundred people bombarding a level at once. It was gradually filled up thus meaning the level was never actually laggier than any other level.

I know another point was that "everyone gets to play now," but really, it's a lot more selective than the event warpers ever were. I've never been selected in the que, now i dont honestly care, but I'm just using it as a point. Not only that, but i'm sure the people who actually do get picked for the event have no clue as to what they're doing. Whereas the event warpers kinda held a fine comb through the people who participated, because the ones who put the work into finding the warper obviously really wanted to play.

Also, I always really enjoyed finding the event warpers. Going on a search for event warpers was half the fun of playing in events. It was entertaining to work with your Guild and find the warper together, or having to use your graal knowledge to find the door using their hint (at times there weren't even hints). What im trying to say is, the removal of event warpers kinda dumbed down the whole experience for me. Rather than actually having to do some work (which was fun) to get to the event, you just press the button and cross your fingers that you're picked. It's a lot less interactive and entertaining that way. But that's just me.

Well a lot of the events are more fun imo, and you can repeatedly join them and get 20 different events in an hour but they're ones that can't easily be played with 100 people.

To be honest, the game was twice as fun when events actually involved warpers. The warpers where fun, you got pk's through crowds and you also actually got to participate by your own will and not to mention it showed which tower members were loyal or not which was quite funny. I understand warpers were removed for lag purposes, but isnt there a way to just make an area were you can see only yourself or whatever before actually placing the warper? I think this que crap only made things worst regardless of the lag complaints. The admins dont host crap as much, all you see is chance, trivia, that climbing event, and sumo. Where the hell are the other events? Jump & Run, Hide and seek, Bush race, Horse race (its used but not as much anymore), Spider pit, That fort event. In short ever since the que change happened, events got harder to join even though people say its a chance for everyone to play its mostly the opposite and not only is the events worst but now we have to repeat the same ones? Jesus.

Common Sense 08-03-2015 03:53 AM

The main thing they want to do is give everyone a chance at joining and possibly winning an event. (ET) used to constantly win and find warpers, and soemtimes newer players wouldn't even know where to go.
