Being told that the collectors and rabbit have now gone from the districts some 12 hours earlier than they should have, neither are fireworks dropping any more,

I'm sure Anet will fix it now that they are aware of the issue.

Avarre : I edited the thread title to make it a bit less over-the-top.

Ty, now edit the the one below; which is where the title came from =p.. Picky Picky..

Too late for me...I was hoping to catch one more party so I could get my double points but I come back to event over...and I have to wake up early for work.

GG's on unkept promises. Didn't expect much more from Anet.

Starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) on Saturday and concluding at Noon Pacific on Monday, The Frog will make his appearance every three hours in the three festival cities. Bring your fireworks and prepare to party!


All gone GG... Maybe they will make it up for us and have an extended event later tomorrow?

fireworks drops stopped too, no this is just par for the course for events, they are always bugged, the irony is that it's for the person who usually has to smooth things over when they happen

Well it did start earlier too...but I guess someone just screwed up at Anet's office.

Meh, how long untill they are awake in the States?

I think the drops also started 12 hours earlier than announced. So maybe that's A.Net's way of compensating.

Well... I'm a bit peeved. The weekend wasn't a good time for me to spend a lot of time in the game, but hey, twelve more hours on monday, which happens to be an off day at work for me, perfect!

I got maybe 15 firework drops and then it stopped. Buh-bye cheap party animal title boost.

Maybe Gaile took back her "GW for Dummies" guide from the developers when she left.

That's the problem when ppl go. Suddenly stuff goes missing, pens, stationary, servers,...

Exactly what happened to me lol. I have to leave for work at 6:30 am eastern so right after the midnight froggy I spent 44 ecto on the remaining points that I needed for the title, expecting to use them at the 6 am froggy.

Just woke up and POOF, all the animals and the rabbit were gone. Guess they all decided to pack up their bags for the idyllic life in the country a bit early.

Hopefully Gaile can wave her magic frog wand and have them extend the event til midnight tonight.

Arduinna it's pretty much a given that any thread involving Anet becomes an Anet flame-fest.

That being said, I do miss the animals. Not enough to be moaning like that people here, but I do miss them a bit. Have been getting a few party drops here and there though.

Oh FFS!

I get limited time on the weekend due to work commitments and plan this final 12 hrs to actually get something done and this happens!

Honestly, most of the time I am sympathetic towards Anet and a lot of the whining directed at them, but to screw up on this magnitude, in direct contradiction to a globally advertised finishing time, is ridiculous.

WTF Anet !?!?!

anyway, since drops AND npcs are gone, this doesnt require some sort of fix, a 2008 Calendar is just more like it

I was at the one at midnight...and there was no hint that it was the last---the stuff was still there for quite some time after it ended.....so now idea what the blue-blazes anet is trying to pull----they have already begun to distance themselves from the people who are going to buy their products, but then to abruptly STOP an event that is still on the log in screen withOUT any comment??

That is very very very...very BAD customer service (though if you think about it many people did say that gaile was a bad customer rep soooo we should have expected something like this I guess.....)

big major /FAIL!

Maybe because during Leap Years we lose 12 hours on April 7th to make up for the extra day in Feb.

Yeah, that's gotta be it

It was a mix up with the times programmed into the servers. I suspect some Devs have gotten woken up and are looking at it now. It's nearly 3am PDT so things like this will take a while to fix

They'll probably fixed it and add another 12 hours or so for good measure. Doesn't help me one bit though, I only had monday morning and the early afternoon available to play and most of that is gone now.

I didn't go the events, each time I entered a major city I'd get hit with insane ping...and GW would crash and refuse to work.

I'll not "rant" and believe that since most events end on Sunday at midnite pacific, someone forgot to change something - guess the memo didn't get out.

On a side note, it is a bit amusing to see all the afk's dancing where the circle had been.
