Guild Wars 2

When I try to enter the portal, it tells me I need some light thing. I’m not certain of what I’m supposed to do – it doesn’t even explain what the light thing is that I need to enter it.

At the top of the hour, every hour, three assault knights spawn in Lion’s Arch which you have to kill. Kill all three of them, get all three color buffs, and you’re able to go through the white portal. After that there’s a hologram and i’m not sure what else other than that the ending is awesome (I used the purple portal which skips you to the ending given you have the spinal blade pack and doesn’t require the assault knights to be killed)

So arenanet expects me to defeat 3 legendarys with the very few people in the overflow maps… We couldn’t even defeat one of them in the oveflow – how the heck can we defeat all 3? I don’t understand this event at all…

Anrt expect everyone to be in group of 70 and organised

This is rapidly turning into a TTS only event yet again, the scaling is broken worse than the Wurm event, and by Friday if you haven’t gotten it, no one will be running it, instead of allowing everyone to enjoy the end of living story they made it insanely hard to get it done.

How long does the buff last? (Don’t all three spawn at the same time?) At work so I can’t test the new stuff out yet.

Just craft the spineblade back piece. The basic one with no upgrade whatsoever. And enter the purple portal.

so the event has been live for…..4 hours?

EST, it is 3pm. People are still working.
PST, it is noon. People are still working.

I helped my brother get the Escape from LA achievements in the past 3 days seeing he just came back to the game. Stating it will be over and done with by Friday is just going over the top.

The buff lasts 5 minutes.

This only grants you entrance to the very last part of the story, while skipping the actual battle. So to do that, you still have to defeat the Assault Knights.

I just did the instance, and yeah… it skipped some pretty important story parts… I don’t understand why Arenanet would gate the end of the entire season 1 living story behind zerg content that has to extremely organized. It’s so stupid. I’m probably done with GW2 after this season of the living story. What a disappointment.

I have to say, I’m a bit annoyed about gated story. Its not like MArionette etc with a timer on the zone – you can be stuck on overflow for ages and never finish the fight. Yes you can skip to the cutscene, but you have to find that out for yourself and you miss a small chunk of story from the battle.

Do you only need one of the buffs to enter one of the portals or do you need all three?

All 3 Knights must be killed to enter portal

Currently the event is bugged and the knights don’t give you the buffs you need when you kill them. So I’d advice waiting until ANet fixes it, currently no one (in overflows at least) can’t get to the Scarlet’s airship phase.

Not that it would matter even if it was fixed. Killing 3 legendaries on an underpopulated overflow is still impossible.
