The three minute timer on "Party Time!"

The three minute timer on "Party Time!" did not work during Gaile Gray's leaving events. "Party Time!" was activated when the conga started, but did not run down for three minutes - it simply ended abruptly when the frog left.

So why did the description mention a 3 minute duration, and why was there a timer bar under the icon?

Could it be, there will be another way to get this bonus for three minutes in future? It would be cool if the Crates of Fireworks gave 3 minutes of "Party Time!"...

Yes. It's just another continuation of a pattern we're seeing. They say it, but don't do it.

Seeing as the icon came up as soon as the frog appeared, and didn't drop till he'd gone I'd say there was a good deal more than 3 minutes anyway?

I'm suggesting that we might see "Party Time!" and 2x title points AFTER the (now finished) event. Whether you think that is "important" is down to you as an individual. Doesn't matter to me, I already maxed my title.

Perhaps "Party Time!" was originally planned to only last 3 minutes, but they changed their minds...

OR... perhaps the description and timer bar are there because in future, there will be a new way to get "Party Time!"... and the three minute timer will actually function for that.

If you're going to take the time to reply, how about taking the time to read the posts too? I've ALREADY maxed MY title.

seems someone just wants to be another complain buttcrack over something as small as this.
seriously, it was a fairwell party... don't get upset over it. you are totally destroying the meaning to the party by complaining that you didnt' get your Party Time for exactly 3 minutes.

Which post did you read? hes not complaining about anything. Hes saying that we could be seeing "Party Time!" again in the future.

It could of just been an oversight by Anet. The bonus actually lasted a good 9 or 8 mins.

If you are referring to me, then kindly take the time to read my posts before replying.

I've ALREADY maxed MY title. I have NO complaints.

I just find it interesting that there was a non-functioning timer, and whether that's a clue to something yet to come.

There could be an item with multitple random effects, and party time could be one of them.

Uf. I am getting the view you are all misunderstanding me... I don't care about your little title. I wasn't refering to your title. Titles are just there so you can make your epeen bigger. Anyways...

You are criticizing something with a good meaning behind it. It isn't worth it.

It was a farewell party to Gaile Gray. But all it seems you did was paid attention to the bugs that came from it. Who cares. Who really cares?

We don't have Gaile anymore. We have bugs in the game, that isn't anything new. But Gaile moving to another position is something that is huge.

Seriously, pay more attention to the big picture than notice all the little details that are wrong with something that is meant to be right.

Seriously, pay more attention to what people write, before creating fantasy scenarios that fit your pet hates.
