Bug: players aren't able to fill legion events

I noticed a bug that even if I enter a legion around 3 or 4 minutes no other players can join.
Sometimes one or two people can join around the last minute mark and then during the legion event itself another player joins and we are only 5 players instead of 12.

Please fix this issue because most of the time we run out of time with less players and only 1-2 people joining right after the legion starts.

Didn’t have this bug 2 weeks ago or I didn’t notice is that frequently as the last few days

yeah, this sucks. If you arent watching the map like a hawk or use a 3rd party website, you have no clue when legion events are going to spawn. If you see one that is about 40 seconds starting, you will race there on your broken horse only to be pebble blocked and miss joining the event before you get there.

I wish the game had a in game events on the screen so you can see no matter where you are that it pops up saying…

world boss in 3 hours, legion event in 39 minutes, helltide in 46 minutes…

pressing m and if you are in a dungeon pressing m → 2 every other minute blows

That’s what 3rd party websites are for

yeah but we shouldnt need a 3rd party website in game, it should be in game…

Most of the time when I show up to a Legion event there is nobody.

either you showed up late or too early. If you show up right away and wait at the campire, the event instances other than yours is filled up via group members.

If you find yourself solo alone at an event, here is a tip that may work (depending on time remaining before it starts)…

tp back to town from just outside the legion event area - wait for roughly 1 minute and tp back and enter the ‘instance map area’, you might get lucky with a more full team

another tip if you have the option to go to wt4, logout at event area - change to wt3 or 4 and login and logout to switch back to the wt you want and it should be a different instance map

That’s the funny thing. I usually just end up soloing it just fine. But thanks for the tip. Would like the bonus party xp.

Gets worse. If you’re in-game, certain areas simply will not allow the legion events, nor world boss events for that matter, to show up on your map. If you’re in Kyovashad or the Tree of Whispers areas you have to port somewhere else first to get them to appear. Today’s world boss at 5:19 AM PDT for example wouldn’t show up for me at 5:14 AM when I was in Kyovashad. I had to port somewhere else to get it to show. I chose one of the four areas near a possible spawn point and got lucky in that it was next to where I spawned at. But it not showing on the map is a pretty frustrating bug, especially if you log in very close to the event time and have precious little time to choose correctly.

I should not have to rely on a third party to find this information either. Not when it’s in the game’s API. If anyone’s wondering how Gamers8 manages to get this right all the time, it isn’t because of luck, they’re pulling it from an API we aren’t able to easily see on our end but they know how to dig into. So why aren’t we getting this in-game as I asked elsewhere here? Why not a feed alongside the regular forum page (there’s room on either side) showing the next event spawns?

If I have to 100% look things up on third party sites because the game’s own UI is either bugged or doesn’t show that information, you’ve designed your game incorrectly. This is 2023, not 2003. I should absolutely not need a second display up and running just to see event information while I’m in the freaking game. That’s just straight up laziness on the developer’s part.

Everytime when I show up, there are people there.

By that logic, how come I can’t see the best builds in-game? Why should I have to go on third party websites?

legions provide ZERO loot, so not bother with them.

not sure if you are bugged since they do provide loot. You get 1 chest per boss killed so if you only kill 1 wave/boss you get 1 chest if you kill all 3 you get 3 chests which contains “loot” and obols

Still a bug in late october
