GG Anet! Mad King event worth the wait!
Loving this event too. Very creative and has a beautiful consistency to the whole package. A holiday event has given us a fun boss fight, a survival horror mini-game, a new PvP map and a frankly brilliant jumping puzzle… not to mention the smaller stuff, like brawl, food, costumes and events/quests.
Bravo.
The reoccurring complaint i’m seeing on these forums is that the rewards aren’t good enough. How is it not obvious to you people yet? FUN IS THE REWARD. Fun. Not items. If you want to chase gear then find another MMO, that structure is just not in GW2’s DNA.

Yeah the cut scene was pretty epic, especially because I was hardly paying attention when it happened so I was thoroughly impressed (and didn’t get to snap any screenshots because I was mesmerized.). The dungeon is also quite good fun. Not going to go into the rewards though because as per my usual luck with such things I am now rolling in a bunch of vendor food.

For real ! Didn’t know we could group up .I solo it to me over a hour and a couple respawns but was a great event! Oh ya did it with a ranger. At least with all the nerfs they still very playable class . Not perfect far from . But at least my pet kicked * during this event..
Only downside wish I would get better loot for all the work.
yeah i finally get to play today and get a group for MK.. and yeah. instance is bugged.
After being disappointed in this event overall, I logged on to try the dungeon I had heard about.
It was actually quite tricky. I managed to solo it with only one respawn (oh man those spiders are jerks), but it felt good to wreck him up. It dragged on a little long, but… it’s not supposed to be solo’d. And I got a high level exotic, which is nice.
Yes , i admit. Despise the great RNG thing on the cash shop.
The tower and now this MK we can farm are great , worth the event.
Agreed, the MK is good fun simple is that.
Agreed. Was disappointed with the Cash shop fiasco, but Acts II and III have been a blast.
I agree, I dug it.
Anet didn’t even have to put on an event so close to launch, I ’m suprised ppl complain at all, well..on some level I guess I understand the complaints about the rng chest. I read the word chance and said “um, no”. That part of it should have been just have a halloween chest w/chance at the exotics.
I understand Anet wanting to get rid of some keys, but honestly…kind of don’t even need those keys in the game at all, just sell the chest cheap, about as cheap equivalent to how often they drop and double the random contents.
Overall, compared to some games that didn’t even have holiday events close to launch time, I am pleased they hit us with something, definatley better than nothing.
