Dear Bioware, Please extend the Rakghoul event.

No please don't it's good for 1 week and it's really annoying now just look at the fleet.

Ok I see your points. Yes I agree that the event was not advertised properly, and the news beacons tell you not to go to Tatooine, when you should. The directions for Codex 5 are also vague and could use more hints.

You obviously missed the Easter Egg hunt in DDO ....

It's been a good event, but won't it run for a total of 2 weeks?

I think for events to stay new and refreshing, they have to only be available for a limited period, 2 weeks is a good length.

Just buy the samples if you need more, they get cheaper and cheaper as people sell them in bulk.

To be honest, I am hoping that it is NOT over with quite just yet! I'm hoping all hell breaks loose today after the virus continues to spread and we get a new phase of the event before we finally have to quest to cure the disease....

Samples are easy to farm if you ask me - farmed like 900 to get all companion customizations. Problem is that you had 9 days to make dailies to get Containment Officer Set. There are 6 dailies to do. You see window for this was really very small. Many people wont get full item set, personally I will sadly be lacking Belt because there's not another 1 day I wish to have all since I dedicated myself to this event and to helping out other people with dealing with it (helped like 300 people on Imp and Rep side as playing Imp on most populated PVP server EU) and guiding them to get their own, free Crimson Rakling Pet (many people didn't know that they can get one completely for free by doing 1 quest). I will be lacking Belt and navy blue version of Rakling Pet - but personaly I don't care about pet, got the other two and I'm not 50lvl on this server, but Belt... it's my wet dream at the moment. Too bad I started dailies 4pm 19th instead of 12am 19th - couldn't leave work earlier... but who did know that there would be such stupid date for reset dailies (I mean shouldn't it be @ midnight?). I even achieved Containment Officer title on my 29lvl sniper.

Another reason for the event to be extended for a few more days is the "schematic/crafting" bug that (probably) made the game unplayable for many people (for me - for sure) right after 1.2 hit and the Ragkhoul outbreak started. It is now somewhat mitigated by workarounds found by people on these forums, but for a few days I wasn't able to play at all, meaning I missed the all important days to get the containment officer set...
So, IMHO, BW should acknowledge this, roll out a fix, and extend the event for a few more days, or there might be quite a few unhappy players.

To be honest I am a bit pissed about the containment officer set and how it is timed for eligibility. I didn't get started on day one and since the final mission has two separate gear rewards I can't get both. As of this morning the newly infected quest is still locked to me. It should have automatically unlocked yesterday so I would have a chance to get the two last pieces if I wanted them.

Otherwise they should have clearly stated "you will need to be on from day one/two in order to get everything" before they even launched it.

Not to mention unexpected maintenances day after day. Just because of this issue it should be extended :]

That would be so damn epic! Now I'm even more sad when the event ends on 24th.
