ArcheAge – Shadowguard Festival Rift Overload on NA-Thunderwing

The player overload was worse on the first day of the festival where it was really laggy and the server ultimately crashed later when some other event raids were happening (according to other players, Thunderwing has had issues with disconnects and crashes since the evolutions).

This entire thing is almost sadly comedic because you can’t really see the mobs that are falling from the sky (have to blindly target and hope you/someone in your raid tags one of them before they die).  This particular event, only got credit for 3 out of the 10 needed to complete the daily quest.

I guess it looks great to see a server filled again with a lot of players but the cynical side of me says that Trion kind of overpacked this one server (since I believe it merged 3 legacy servers) in full anticipation that a certain percentage would fall off the wagon again (me being one of those).
