To be devils advocate, dont wait until the last minute to try to finish the events when you know from a longstanding history that they will ALWAYS do this at the end of the event. They cant risk having a single day go by without an event running or some players will bitch about that as well, so they must have the next event loaded and ready before the previous ends... It bullshit, I know and agree, but its clearly the standard they have set, so try not to put yourselves in this position. (and yes, I know not everyone has the ability to knock the event out quickly, but a few more runs each day, spread across the entire event, could allow that lost day not have any impact).

On to the patch discussion....

When we could rely on Banshee's to help cover raid points for us, having the raid freeze on start, freeze during battle, crashes, etc... was not a huge deal. It was annoying certainly, but it is "Beta" so I could accept it.
However, after you "acknowledged" their usefulness by selling them, essentially confirming for us that they were working as intended, many of us spent cash and other resources to acquire them, now they are less than useless. Now, every good team we have is essential in trying to gain raid points and we cannot have our teams lost to incompetent failures on the part of the game. The stability of the raid MUST be improved. Or more reasonably, the effect of the banshee cosmic MUST be returned to its original performance.

The search and sorting functions are less that useless for the talisman. Its great that you are trying to improve these functions, but maybe dont bother with this incremental updates if they are just going to destroy the rest of the game in the process. Wait until the function is actually useful before adding it to the game.
