[Event for all] Anlor Winn 2019 (October 31 - November 11)

Suggestion for Future Events of this type:

1. I am assuming that the forum is placing day / times in our own local time zone. Please also included UTC so we can assist other members in informing start / end times. This allows anyone to use the IG App to see what's what.

2. Include end date / time. The notice I read said:

Starting Thursday, 31 October 16:00:00 EDT
Expected duration: 11 days

"Doing the math", assuming each day = 24 hours, with the above ... I get an end date of November 11, 16:00 EDT.

But EDT is over and it's now EST here... so end date would be November 11, 17:00 EST ... it's now 17:50 EST and event was still active.

Also many assumed the end time would be 00:00.

3. Edit the description post to include all events:

The puzzle was a lot of fun but could not inform friends and guildies by forwarding to a description.

Also, would hav eeen nice to have a way to pop up the puzzle piece window (likely there is but don't know how) w/o having to go and click on a punkin.

4. Comments (personal) on events:

a) Maze event is very popular ... personally hate the wait thing. Perhaps a queue could be created whereby you join the queue, get an approximate wait time which has a countdown timer which is updated every 5 minutes or so. When your time is close, say 5 minutes away ... you get a visual flashing indicator on screen. Don't show up on time, or say x minutes late, next person goes and you get pushed back one time slot. After 3 push backs, you get booted from queue.

b) I spent the 1st 40 minutes chasing punkins trying to step on them and left clicking. Maybe ...

"Mysterious burning objects are washing over Atys and creating strange light sources that move on the Bark. Hurry to trample them (*** right click***) before they set fire ...

An option to "Free the Punkins", with alternate rewards,  instead of killing woud been fun.   Spend cupla days snuffing for one title and another cula days chaing "Punkin Liberator" ny setting them free.

c)  Invasions ... I only encountered two.  I guess in part this was dictated by event staff availability.  An NPC in the capitals whom we could inquire about scouting reports would help folks not miss these.

d)  I didn't see the puzzle as being all that attractive from a T & E standpoint ... till I realized i could pursue a piece for 3 minutes and then spend 27 minutes wiping out zombies or whatever.  After finishing tho ... another reward other than AL tokens would be nice .  To my view, these tokens don't appear to hold much value after event ends, unless there will be trade-ins.  I imagin after AW, all our weaps and stuff I expect will morph into something else and long term storage of 30 bulk items isn't practical.


5.  Overall a very pleasing event ... fun, humorous amd involving both individual and group activities ..  Major kudos to the event team.
