The Hidden Forest

I have attemped the Vargun T9 event in WC twice with my crew of 18. Each time my characters were the only ones in zone. As soon as the 1st wave spawns most of my toons start to lag out. Next is a pile of corpses and generally most of my toons are at the login screen. I regularly do pulls that size and larger in HoH, without any issues. Will try to attempt later today with a smaller force.

A few more observations/issues:

Vargun - Managed to kill him on T9 difficulty & on T1 difficulty. Both are extremely laggy. Also seems to be a weird issue where the mobs charge in 3 times, and the first 2 times port back to their spawn, and arent attackable until the 3rd charge (pets say they arent a legal target). I would say it's just the lag, but it seemed like every wave behaved the same.

Jaldin - Pretty laggy as well, not quite as bad as Vargun though. Only gave the T1 flag despite requesting the T9 event. I heard someone else mention this earlier as well. Additionally he is targetable and can agro/take damage which can be a pain when you're lagging.

Sevar - Did not notice any lag issues. Only gave the T1 flag despite requesting the T9 event. Additionally he is targetable and can agro/take damage.

Hollis - Did not notice any lag issues. Only gave the T1 flag despite requesting the T9 event.

I ended up with 1 T9 flag, and 3 T9 flags on one character. Is it intentional for only 1 character to get the flag per attempt? Additionally i went to the "ghost of the commonlands" on the character that had the 4 flags, and he just says to go help the 4 ghouls mentioned above.

Neat events but I'm not really getting anywhere

Lag variation across characters/instances

I've been noticing more variation in amount of lag across characters. I don't know what could cause this, but sometimes I have to camp all my characters in order to get them all within less than 100 ms of each other.

Maybe there is something like a QoS (Quality of Service) tweak on the server that could be tweaked to make sure some characters don't hog out server resources and keep others from getting them?

I pushed fixes into WC just now. The events were not suppose to be doing flags anymore and just directly rewarding upon victory.

As for the lag, we will take a look and see if there is something we can do in those specific areas.

Completed spider and pumpkin again. Still only giving T1 task, and still no loots

Additionally the questgivers appear to become KoS to the player who started the task, even though I made sure to fight farther away.....

I'm also not getting anywhere with these quests... I tried to do them all on T9 difficulty. There was no lag at all... but all of the mobs died pretty fast, and i got no rewards for it. Ghost of the commonlands keeps telling me to go back and help them.

Not sure what to do now Oh and i killed 2 of the npcs because they hit me first!

Found the issue with rewards today. Will be going live with the reboot.

Woop Woop! Thanks Vaion! FYI You scared the crap out of me showing up as a Pyrilien in VT when the server was going down

Attempted the spider boss since that was one i did have issues with before. Immediately started lagging once event started and all toons DC'd. Hard to tell, but I believe the mobs were tier appropriate.

anyone has managed to complete it and get the loot yet ? wondering what it is.
