Guild Wars 2

I have to say this is one living story in a while where I felt I had to play nonstop.

The reward, activities required all make it worthwhile to play and collect the necessary materials and to top it off it is fun!

I just recently found the vendor that gives the valiance buff which was pretty cool.

Great Job!

I have an overall positive impression of the event, except that the main feature of the patch is bugged on main servers. I know that the miasma level is based on time, but why on main servers is the miasma bar full upon entering?

Also, there should have been a personal achievement for rescuing citizens, this would have slowed the zergness from the event.

I agree. I haven’t had this much fun in-game since the Halloween event.

It’s been so long since I’ve actually enjoyed this game, but I have to say the LA event is one of the best I’ve experienced since the Karka one.

I love that you can play once every hour and that once it starts you can run into the event so that everyone can experience it at least once, even if they don’t care about getting all the achievements. I love that it feels rewarding and that you get tons of drops for mats and gold. Though I know most of it is used toward crafting the Blades backpiece it makes the event worth while and is almost as much fun as the old game was. I love that you have to sneak around Lion’s Arch in order to find Heirlooms or to encourage citizens and soldiers. It makes you feel as though you are really contributing to the greater cause and luckily for me, the server I am on has been really positive and works well together for the guard and protection events. I’m more than half way done through my achievements for this and am currently working on the backpiece for my warrior. Best of all, there is practically no trace of Scarlet. I mean, you do see her in a cut scene (which was fantasticly done, by the way), but she’s barely there. Yes I know we have to fight her at some point, but this was the first time in practically a year that I have genuinely enjoyed this game in it’s entirety. The environment was suitably epic and the danger of the situation was more apparent. The burning buildings and screams of dismay here and there were a great flavoring. I love the NPC dialogue with Evon Knashblade and the others in Vigil. Magnus’s dialogue in L.A. works to give people a good idea of how much time is left in the event.

I am having a lot of fun so far and I am hopeful that there will continue to be more content of this caliber in the future.

I’ve loved this event so far. Even though the concept is not so different from ones we’ve seen before, we really do feel like we have to save as many lives as we can in this one. And if you do that successfully, you get some reasonable amount of loot.

I’ll throw a digital toast in your name ANet.

I didn’t think I’d like it, but it’s really a lot of fun. Last favorite one was probably the one with the sky ships that introduced the sprint activity?

Not super crazy about the look of the back piece, but nice that I can craft an ascended back piece without being a fractal runner, and I can always hide it, or maybe make it look like a flower or something later.

I like that there are different things to do inside the event as well. Events, escorts, rescue.

I’d like to see similar events done in other home cities as well
