Got in the rift. Had to click an item to fly to a ship. Before it was my turn to be able to click on the jetpack, with the whole server trying at the same time, the boss was dead.

Looks like a weekly quest i am going to abandon and never try again. It is half an hour of my life i do not get back.

Tped out , instance full.

try again in a hour?

WoW is an MMO that canā€™t handle large concentrations of players.

Because Blizzard canā€™t stop adding procs.

Itā€™s too many dice rolls. Server canā€™t compute it.

And happened again with the second character (after i had to do this twice on the first)
Why would they make it so only 10 people can enter on ptr and after those are filled a new one opens but not on live?

Ive done a few where i clicked on the portal within 1 sec of it spawning and loading in within another second so withing 2 seconds of the portal going up and getting in and the boss is already dead! every boss kill i have been on it takes between 1-2 min to kill the boss so im not sure how a portal can go up and the boss is dead within 5 seconds?. thats not good design thats beyond awful design. and im doing it solo

How quickly do these mini bosses die?
I got attacked and couldnā€™t mount for 30 seconds until I killed a few mobs. Then I mounted flew over and got in but the mini boss was dead and everyone was leaving. The boss must die in under a minute.

Thatā€™s two failed runs now.
I think Iā€™ll be only doing this when the Aiding weekly makes me. Unless it gets better when it settles down a bit after a few days.

TBF you do get a period of time before the sand monster turns into the boss but given the lag issues and the fact that people are often still clearing mobs outside maybe it could do with a longer timer.

Same thing happened to me.
Talk about a disappointment :disappointed:

Im not gonna complai to much it will be better soon lag wise. Im really happy with these 0.5 patches this expansion atleast they are giving something for us to do to keep us busy and collect stuff i love that. They have more meat on the bone compared to previous expansions wich i would hope would keep more people subbed

33

to my knowledge the transfer aborted happens if you are to slow to get there since it seems to only host a limited amount of players.

34

yea for me i have been stuck on completed quests and not getting the next one like group task killing queen but the quest self is completed but not getting the next stage of it so i ainā€™t earning any currency nor rep for 6 more minutes till the end boss a well it will be fixed one day

35

leave the zone long enough for you to leave the event aswell, take maybe 15sec then come back and talk to Soridormi.

ahh good one il try that the next hour , that i my self did not think of that thanks

I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen an event thatā€™s the flagship of a patch be in such a terrible state as time rifts are.

  1. Counter will randomly reset to 0

  2. You will finish objectives but they donā€™t actually complete so you cannot get new ones. the only way around this is flying far away and back in to ā€œresetā€ the event, but taht will cost you 30 seconds or more and will likely cost you the maximum reward anyway.

  3. Final zones with the minibosses are an atrocity where the lag starts even before you get in combat. Completely unplayable

Get your sh*t together.

I didnā€™t have much trouble with the rifts at first, but then when things got chaoticly crowded to the point of lags, my first two objectives got done but I never got any more after and it just kept showing my last objective as finished until the final boss portal opened.
This is a similar bug to the Tuskarr soup event bug that happened when everyone was doing that back at Dragonflight releaseā€¦ So Iā€™m getting less things done and less Paracausal Flakes in the end.

39

When the objectives are bugged and donā€™t complete, just flying out and in again, just like the soup event.

Iā€™ve tried about 10 in total now. Itā€™s a mess. Iā€™m sure my realm isnā€™t helping, itā€™s extremely crowded at the events. Between the lag, counter resetting, getting kicked out of the final boss because itā€™s full itā€™s just not fun, and quite irritating. Iā€™ve managed three times to get it all done, and even with those attempts boxes would go missing or thereā€™d be other loot issues.

Iā€™d quite enjoy it I think if it did work, but the negatives are outweighing the potential fun by quite a bit. Seems itā€™s wiser to wait a while, and hope I can hit the sweet spot of just the right amount of player engagement in a while. And then hope itā€™s not too few people. Meh.
