aye Tant, I agree with you - about the bugs.
I stand by what I posted earlier.
Here are some scheduling numbers for all of you arguing about wether there is Enough time or not in 11 days.
After the locations/communities/prices/sizes/whatever lists went up yesterday I went, and did my research last night to determine EXACTLY which lairs I wanted to bid on, in which order, based on preferences and ending times for the auctions (which are all ending in a 12 hour or so period, not over several days....)
It took me THREE HOURS to locate and judge JUST THE LAIRS RIGHT IN and OUTSIDE CHICONIS!
THREE HOURS!! FOR ONE CITY!!
Why so long - even kmowing where they were on my map already? Because of the STUPID way the list is arranged and the ******** NONSENSE in trying to find which lair is what coordinates in what community ....
Instead of oh, I don't know - calling say the 12 or so lairs in the immediate vincinity of Chiconis - say the "Chiconis" Community....they are divided up into about 4-5 communities of about 2-4 lairs apiece - with names such as "Helik", "Myzura" (or whatever), "Liak"...etc. *bangs head on keyboard*
Oh, and the Community names for htre lairs aren't in the lair windows yet.
Course "Harro" and "Brandon's Isle" and other city's in the game, and player towns, have lairs attached to their community that make them easier to find on the list of communities - and shutdown times.
But for whatever reason, the rest of the communities had no names that made much Sense in the area's they were in (Talfur or whatever for example, is the name of four lairs INSIDE Dralk town proper...)
So you need to be able to do this searching in windowed mode - because you have to look up positional numbers (not town names) - course the positions can vary by a few degrees on those last two numbers - so really its scanning fo rhte first three numbers in the first coordinate, checking the second coordinate, writing that down and making sure it matches up to what you're looking at. Then you THEN get the community name, figure out WHICH lairs belong to that community (and its not necessarily the ones closest to each other, or following any type of rule - for example the four inside Chiconis proper actaully belong to two different lair communities..go figure...), and THEN you can find the ending times.
So, it took me roughly three hours (minus some time to get something to drink, let the dogs out) of switching windows out with windows, searching, and writing down the information of JUST CHICONIS (and not even all the lairs around there, just the closest 12 or so).
Perhaps they could have given out the information in more easily found/interpreted/successful ways. Or perhaps patched in the lair community names for the lair windows last night to make that easier (much easier...I'm sure...). I sure hope those get patched in Today!
Or else everyone's gonna have to spend a LOT of time figuring out when lairs ending auction times are.
Sorry but this was rushed. Even if you think the timing is fine, if you're fine with two days notice and 11 days to bid - the fact is that lairs are bugged. The schools are bugged. We are NOT Going to be able to start building our lairs on the 28th unless something major happens (here's to hoping...).
I only hope we can start building by Xmas...
