Shows how long since I haven't done it. It was 2 merits until early 2009.

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!

Positron's posted and said that they believe they've found the cause of the lag (something weird they did with leagues) and will be working to fix it.

This is an accurate statement. We actually have a fix in the works, the timing of implementation was something that we considered at risk enough that we are rescheduling it.

And first after him, too!
More on topic, good to see that it's being fixed, since I love the Eden trial (running at normal speed). Crystal Titan is good shiny.

Obviously you didn't consult with Shadowe, who has already informed us that it's not a bug or technical issue, but is how the Trial is supposed to work. Therefore you must be mistaken about a fix being in the works since it's not broken in the first place. i know this because random forumites are far greater authorities on the game than a simple red name.|

The swarms in the Eden trial are quite easy to avoid. Stay off the ceiling. Now that you know that they're there, you should consider giving the Eden trial a 2nd chance when they fix it and make it the WTF. Do it for Gale.

I hope it does get fixed soon cuz the Eden trial is great with a good team

Ya know....here it is, how many issues later, and how many hundreds of forum posts, bug reports, support tickets, and discussions about this and it took one posting of this Trial for a WST slot, and FINALLY it gets attention.
To my most favorite and great team of developers and programmers that make up CoH: WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU SO LONG TO FIGURE THIS OUT?
Thank you for the attention to this. Finally.
P.S.: Gee, I wonder if there are any other bugs/issues out there that are holding up effectual and intended performance on other SFs, TFs, Trials and missions...
In a way, the WST has been one of the greatest things in the game for TFs and Trials. Any bugs in them get hammered and reported over and over. The Wiki pages for them get detailed updates. Players get introduced to something they somehow have missed out on. TFs get done more often on less populated servers because everyone's attention is focused on the WST which has a shiny that people want. Newbies learn from Vets how to do these TFs. And showstoppers, like the ones Eden has, finally get fixed.
Makes me hope that the reluctance of using the Shadowshard TFs because they're just to derned long will prompt a fixing for them, too.

Think about the situation though. Every TF, SF, trial, and zone event are all working properly with the exception of the Eden trial. I'd say it only makes sense to fix the last remaining bugged TF in the game.
Hopefully we'll be able to run the Eden trial whenever we please within a month or two's time.
The only things to be fixed after that at this point would be base raiding (which would not be possible to do at this point), spelling errors, and minor mission bugs in the game.
Thanks devs for looking into this!

It hasn't been fixed yet.... So he could still have it right. In fact I think he is until they do fix it.

You apparently have a pretty flexible definition of "never." Not ten posts above me is a redname saying a fix is forthcoming.|

I feel that "always" and "never" are words that the Language Gods gave us for laughs. I never use them, as they always seem to lead to trouble.

Taking into consideration the bug preventing selection of next mission in Kahn TF isn't fixed yet (even though devs were aware of this problem), I wouldn't hold my breath on quick fix for Eden Trial either.

I thought they fixed it so you can no longer bypass the walls quite some time ago? Other than that, speeding through it is no more of an exploit than an ITF speedrun... if your team can plow through to the Titan and take him down without clearing the room or gathering Ambrosia then you still earned the win (even more so since it's a lot harder that way), provided you actually did kill the walls since they're supposed to be impassable while alive.

Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. The Eden Trial level limitation is an intended design feature. As such, it is WAI. Now, we can debate whether that's a good or a bad feature, but what it is NOT is a bug. |
