Argon Assault Week 2! (Changes based on feedback!)
Greetings all!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that offered some constructive feedback regarding the ongoing Argon Assault event. We've made a few changes based on this feedback, and I just wanted to outline them for you:
I should also point out that we have found a bug with the server announcement system that if the server crashes it wipes the scheduled announcements, so if that happens you may have to just wait it out the old fashioned way. We've filed a bug but don't expect it will be fixed prior to the end of the is event.
Keep in mind that as the event progresses it may become more manic, difficult, and rewarding. I'd especially make plans to be around on the evening of Tuesday, September 5 if you want to participate in a blow-out with the Argons in places other than just the few zones we've been finding them so far. Their reach is extensive and plans nefarious.
OK, go hunt down those unholy monsters! Heads up! Intel just reported that this morning's planned assault is around 11:15 PDT!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that offered some constructive feedback regarding the ongoing Argon Assault event. We've made a few changes based on this feedback, and I just wanted to outline them for you:
- Server announcements now go out about 15 minutes BEFORE the event begins, so you can get your raid group together and don't have to just wait around for the event to begin in that 2 hour window
- Loot box drop rates have been increased for the soldier mobs, along with an increase in the amount of Noctenium Infusions you might get
- I've made some adjustments to how the spawning will take place over multiple waves instead of all at once, so if you don't see all the BAM Bosses, keep looking as time goes on
- Kelsaik's announcement will go off just before he spawns
- Speaking of Kelsaik, adjustments have been made to him to make him a bit harder to take down

Especially with Kelsaik.
HELLO?????
worst feedback ever, whole raid i was in is now mad and droped.
PLEASE change it back to how it was. This change is outrageous and unecessary.
Now we have to wait even longer for all bosses to spawn. This is cancer, CANCER.
NO. Second wave is not THAT long after. Just timed it out a bit, so it's not all at once. The entire batch of bosses, capsules, and soldiers spawn over the course of 20-30 minutes. Not hours. Minutes.
Have you tried soldier mobs, their drops way better and die sooner than before.
I totally would, except I'm not going to hold everyone's hands. Time to pony up and act like soldiers and fight it AS IT COMES.
Kidding, but really, it's not that long folks, just keep looking.
Having mobs be a more efficient way of obtaining boxes does not make them any less boring. I don't want to kill them. I don't want to derp on a brawler for 2 hours. I want to have fun with cancerous global chat and yell at potatoes who start bosses near Bastion before HW is cleared.
The hype is dead now, good going. Event time's about to end and no sign of the 'second wave' anywhere.
This is not a good idea. The spawn rate is very low now and people are already dropping from raid due to excessive waiting/no fun hunting. I would rather have BAM spawn at once like before and get 1 or 2 less boxes than waiting another hour to get all boxes.
