Since this post came up in a search on this achievement, I figured I'd add my grievances too. *sigh* I'm trying this now and Aurene is just an absolute hinderance. She literally won't get out of the circles. No matter where we stand before mobs spawn, she runs TO A CRYSTAL and stands under it to fight all the mobs that spawn at it. So wtf am I supposed to do? I can't drag her dumba$$ away. Even if I pull the mobs, they're still powering the crystals until I can bc of her. Also, in every instance thus far, the crystals are getting charged from the mobs that are standing outside of the boundary of the crystals. IDK why the boundary isn't a boundary but it's making me have to try and not only pull them from Aurene but also pull them to practically Narnia just to get them to not charge them even though they're clearly outside the barrier. And, just a question, are there no indicators on the crystals? Were there ever? I can see that they light up from within as they charge, but is there no % indicator, like if when you click on typical mobs/items to see their "life?" IDK, I'm frustrated at the randomness of dealing with Aurene fking up the achv which she has done every single run so far. So, for the people who say "OMG it's sooo simple," you all must just be super lucky then and didn't get a kitten Aurene in your story. So I know it'll never happen but if there's any chance, PLEASE just add a "stay command" to Aurene so you can park her, or just take her out of the fight all together. I don't need her. She's just making things harder than they need to be and for no reason other than bad coding or bad luck.😒

Thought I was going crazy. I'm like i KNOW this was dyed yesterday! >.<

Are the tattoo legs all of a sudden not dyeable? Logged out earlier and now the dye spaces are gone? Hello?

Re: The Wintersday Wreath Backpack (if you're going to merge my original post, at least make sure the item I'm talking about gets put in the new thread 🙄) When? I mean it has "Wintersday" in the title and still nothing in the gem shop for those of us trying to get our festive looks on! So yes, please, maybe. kthx

Well I'm "glad" to see that I wasn't completely crazy in thinking that this event chain was unnecessarily convoluted for really no good reason. Again, the rewards don't seem to match the effort required to complete it -- other than the 2 achievements locked behind it. Again, hopefully the Dev Team sees this and maybe puts it on the "to do" list since it's a cool event when you have a good leader and enough people to want to do it (hint hint improve the rewards).

Geeze so imagine me trying to get this done today. lol Although, like I updated, I actually found someone who not only was willing to lead it, but also knew HOW to do efficiently. The angels sang this afternoon! 😇 But I still implore the devs to take a look at this event and re-haul it! -- Sincerely, Future Players!

Halle-frickin-lujah. There are at least some patient and kind souls that if you properly (pretty much) beg them to stay and help, they do. Thankfully, the event was a success. This however doesn't alleviate the issue that the event really doesn't provide much incentive other than the 2 random achievement items locked behind it -- and this event requires quite a bit of coordination and participation. For such a more complex event, it really does need a re-work in its loot. Also, changing the achievement items to something less burdensome might be better for new and/or returning players trying to get these achievements. Just my 2 cents. And many thanks to the folks who helped out today. I'm done with this event forever, like many others, unfortunately.

Ye I keep finding literally 1-3 other people on when I'm trying it but just not enough to complete the zealots which, in turn, makes me assume the event would be a nightmare. I'll keep trying and hope I find a lucky time (since NA primetime is not when I'm usually able to log in) that a few more people are attempting it but, in the meantime, I hope more people reply to this and let the devs know (on behalf of those of us still needing and trying this event) that this needs to be re-worked, changed, or updated bc it's not one with lucrative enough rewards -- which seems silly for one that takes so much coordination and participation to complete. Any input from others would help, I hope. (And ty for the reply @Luthan.5236)

I wrote a post yesterday about looking for people who actually attempt this event and it didn't really go anywhere. I figure it's bc it's old-ish content and, as some people have apparently noted, it has pretty lackluster rewards for anyone to lead and run it these days. Since then, I've also put in a ticket (listen, I'm desperate here 🙃) literally just asking that the item (recording) needed for the "Redeeming IG-6417" achievement (which is the what I'm working on and is the last one that I need to complete the achievement) be put behind another zone/meta event bc this one is literally dead. I've attempted it like 5 times in the last 2 nights (which is my playtime on NA + mornings) and have had maybe 2 other people around as well trying it but we can't get past the pre-event bc the 30 mins. timer (to find and kill the zealots) is failing the event. It's unfortunately a lot of surface area to cover with so few participants. Regardless, the response I got to my ticket was, ofc, not too helpful, just the typical: "Put it in the forums so someone else can deal with it"-type of response. So, here I am. I'm sure a lot of people no longer care about this event or even the achievement but there are seemingly a few of us who do -- I'm assuming some are players like me; ones returning to the game and trying to do some catching up. But I'm assuming if the Development Team cared about this dead event that they would have, by now (and after years of people previously mentioning the low participation/poor incentive for this event), already either changed the requisite of this event for the achievement item or restructured the event to scale with a lower population, etc. IDK maybe I'm crazy in thinking this is something that would even be considered, but there is only so much you can do in a game this old, so I'm hoping that if something isn't working, that reporting about it and asking for a slight re-work is plausible? If not, I guess this was a waste of time -- attempting the achievement and asking for dev assistance. I'm hoping neither is the case!

Wanted to add that there's been an attempt the last 2 pops but the 30mins. time limit to try and cover the map with like 3-5 people is just impossible. However, there are people seeming to need the event too, so, again, if anyone happens to be around when it's going on, I know there's a few of us who would appreciate the help! 🙂

This is the last event I need for the recordings and, ofc, it seems to be the most difficult just in terms of finding a group doing the event. I'm not sure if there is a regular meta run for this zone as it seems pretty quiet during these hours, but if anyone knows of a known time that this gets done, or if a large guild plans on running it soon, can someone pls let me know? I'd really appreciate it.
