This game REALLY needs a drop-in/out party system.

It's frustrating spending nearly an hour on a dungeon, just to have one person leave at the final boss and then be unable to finish. I haven't finished the Mad Dragon dungeon, and I just went through this in the Idris dungeon as well. This is one game I would expect this to be in in some form, since most of its gameplay is pretty streamlined and quickly accessible.

Blah, oh well. Back to the grind.

I gave up on group events in this game.  Maybe I will return when my issues are addressed.

That's good to hear, khartokhar. I found their sticky on General Discussion on their forums, and it was entirely too vague for me to be clear on whether or not this issue will be address among the changes. Still, hope for the future!

And flizzer, I can understand why you would give up on them for now, at least in regards to dungeons and PvP. Dungeons are so horribly boring compared to the rest of the game, I find, and I'm not personally a big PvP guy (especially with only the one mode available at least up 'til 39 which is farthest I've gotten), but at least the Skirmishes are somewhat fun and quick, if nothing overly special.

What are your main issues you want addressed?

I am in doubt at the moment whether or not to do any group content again until they fix this extremely big oversight. The last 5(!) runs in a row we couldn't finish because of people leaving before the end without reason and the previous 3 we managed with great difficulty with just 4 or us.

I pug 100% of my group content because my gaming hours vary way too much to cling to a guild for solutions and the inability to get replacements ruins the fun of it completely. I don't mind bad groups as much even though most groups don't even try to get the adds off of me (playing a dedicated cleric), I don't even mind the terrible threat system as much as I hate this oversight. It makes running group content near useless.

I really hope the next big patch fixes this and a lot of other problems, but they are so extremely vague on what kind of fixes are on their way that I don't dare to hope for too much.

I love the game, spend around 300 euro on it already and not regretting it, but the fact they just announced the official release coming within the next few weeks without a hint of when the next class and race or more importantly the still unable paragon paths will be added...well it does give me pause as to believe things will improve soon.

Luckily the game is very enjoyable to solo so I might just focus my energy on that part of the game until the real fixes come in.
