clearly a 3 v 1 situation there due to game glitches lol. pretty terrible experience as always.
I’m curious why only non-LC have glitches and stuck in combat during pvp? I like to watch from the sidelines and not get involved, but the common factor seems to be “LC has no issues. Everyone else, no matter the numbers or class diversity, always has some reason why they don’t stand a chance and lose” It baffles me and makes me question the validity of the claims from both/all sides. Can anyone provide video evidence of any of this? It’s like I’m reading 2 different trickster events every time and it doesn’t help other players or the devs when info is this skewed.

Well obviously when you win the event you are less likely to post on the forums and bad mouth the event because you are biased.
Like this morning when our group won the event, I didn’t mention that I was stuck in combat trying to walk it out with them so i had to graveyard which put me on the opposite side of the zone.
We won that event so it didn’t hinder the gameplay or our winnings so I didn’t post it.
And stuck in combat isn’t a new thing lol?
I’ll try and record next time but it lags me a little which is why I personally don’t.

I think you should post both victories and losses to give a better idea of the trickster goblin. This thread has a lot of viewers and it’d be a good idea to be thorough in both thoughts and experiences. As someone in LC and someone who doesn’t go to the goblin, I only hear one side of the story. It paints a grim picture and heavy bias that I don’t want to believe. Mix that with this thread’s posts and I’m not the only one with a skewed view of the goblin.
I still have the horrible bug where I sometimes desynch when I use the teleport stone since day 1 of Reborn I could not participate in battles properly since I keep having that issue sometimes a few times in a row. I remember Chezil used to have the same problem. This is also the reason I hardly like doing overworld PvP since I sometimes die after teleporting because desynch, europeans seem to get it more from what I can tell but this is definitely just speculation on my part.
Walking with my group and we zoned into Highsteppe Area and my bow turns sideways and I am unable to shoot it forcing me to change to Paladin hammer which ultimately gets me killed because I had no armor on.
Feels like there is always something ruining the PvP…

Successful acquisition by team Not-the-Monopoly. 6v3 feels nice, right?
Some issues, @Riley_D apparently you can put the token in a fellowship chest to trade that way, but it cannot be traded otherwise. Literally impossible to even open a trade window while you have it in your inventory.
Also, the logout timer goes even while you’re in Highsteppe and in your player home (I don’t think that should be the case).

Had the same problem with token, cannot trade it under any circumstance even if I wait for relog or whatever.

Yea was a good challenge and almost wiped ur entire group 3v6 at the end, prefer The name galactic federation for that discord group tho
Looks like the goblin has not spawned this time, it’s been 25 mins and nobody saw the announcement.
Pretty sure I saw a message while I was farming.
Yea @Riley_D no announcement, but still looked around, and luckily got the message that it died in Wastelands while looking there. Other people got the token, but luckily we outplayed them 2v3 (moreso 1v3 as I was killing them strategically) and still got 2 tokens under our belt.
Please fix it next time so we don’t have to guess where the goblin is. Makes it a lot easier to know where we have to outclass people.

Haven’t had the bug in a while, but there have been a lot of times where I kill someone, or they kill me and I respawn, but I am still in combat. Most of the time just going to the graveyard fixes the problem
i can start recording the events for transparency sure. Maybe LC know ways around these glitches or are so used to them that they do quick relogs to circumvent or something so its not an issue… Also as Justin said… if you win even with issues like this, then the issue becomes minor because you were able to complete the event without random bugs being a major factor to your failure.
Regarding getting stuck in combat; it happens to me around 80% of the time. I either relog or kill myself… But if you in the heat of the battle with the trickster goblin… neither will work (at least for vive where loading times seem to be longer).
Regarding desyncs; it happens to me around 50% of the time. I always post when it is largely detremental for me (if its not reported or mentioned regularly, it will never get fixed).
Unfortunately there are just more bad experiences than good experiences… Even the one time where the pug managed to get the token we only saw 1 person for the whole event… so it was a bad experience also…
I created the poll to actually see what peoples opinions are quantatively and so that any team specific cohort differences are apparent.
That is in another thread :Poll: Do you go to the trickster goblin and why or why not? - #33 by J11
I hope that helps @Logan

Experience:
- Trickster goblin was killed far away from us.
- We got to the kill location and it appeared that people had left already.
- We went to highsteppe area to wait and we had no idea where they would come from.
- We gave up trying to find them after 10 mins because either the timer will have finished or they got to highsteppe.
- We had 3 people…
- No desync or stuck in combat issue this time around… Probably because the lack of people I saw.
Another headless chicken experience unfortunately this time around.
fun rating: 2/5 because we had some communication on discord and i got to fight Shiki once or twice but that’s about it.
note: saw someone camping in safe zone probably with token. Should really get that fixed.

Experience:
- Trickster goblin was killed far away from me, but i knew how to cut the carrier’s way and ran on the spot
- I got there and it appeared the carrier was trying to speed pot away but i killed him and got the tokens
- I went to highsteppe area and found a mage at the entrance who tried to stop me, but i killed him
- I then was sneaking around the town to avoid his team and succesfully entered Highsteppe without getting killed
- I had only myself
Another fun and strategical pvp experience this time around.

A very nice account of ‘those who know they have the token’ and ‘those who know nothing’. A very clear show of the imbalance so thanks for posting 
. I think our strategy there would have been significantly different if we knew that you were the one with the token.
You weren’t that far from the carrier because we killed you to a close grave before that and then you speed potted yourself. So I guess it was partly luck too.
i did not use any vita pot or crit pot either so that probs would have helped with that last 10% of health shiki had 
but i think the main point this shows here is that… if you don’t know that someone has the token… They can basically get away with it and not be pursued killing the whole point of the event and also combining that with the vast size of each zone makes the randomness even higher. If you have a larger team who can split in to multiple groups safely, you have a big advantage as you are more likely to randomly find the goblin and you are less likely to get killed with the token as nobody knows who the real carrier is.
You had 3 people, you could have easily spread out and cover a good part of the zone but you decided to stay all together… then complain about the goblin spawning far from you, that’s already a strategy you could have changed to get better odds.
Yeah and if i also had the same potions nothing would have changed
