Dear Anet, as you no doubt know there is allot of dissatisfaction with the lost shores event. Many are asking for compensation and many are asking to do the event again. Most are upset about not getting a chance to open the chest while other who did get the chance got very nice rewards.

A solution that can work is to give those that didn’t get a chance at getting a reward or even getting to the end of the event an account bound box that should have the same loot table as the chest. It’s an easier solution and everyone will get the chance they missed out on due to real life and crashes/DC’s. Address this situation, don’s leave us sitting here in the dark, start talking to your customers.

No. Anet don’t give people something they knew as a one time event. Everyone knew this would occur once and should have prepared as such.

If you cater to those who chose to do something else other than play the game, it’s a slap to the face of those who actually did give up something.

No, not everyone knew, and even if they did not everyone can be there 24 hours a day. i got home at 4pm Aus time only to find people with precursors that i don’s even get a chance at because the only chance i had ended in a crash.

Only for the people who actually logged in, participated and got disconnected though, not the whole real life stuff. It was a one time event that was announced weeks prior and if you couldn’t make it, you just couldn’t make it. That’s life. You shouldn’t get rewarded for not playing. If that’s the case then there was no point in anyone doing anything yesterday when they could have just logged in and gotten the loot for free. That’s a completely insane idea to suggest.

When you log into the game, there were Lost Shore reminders all over that splash page. If you didn’t know about the events, it’s because you chose to not know. All you had to do was click on the “Click here to learn more” to find out. You shouldn’t be rewarded because you chose to remain ignorant.

I logged in and tried to complete the event for 3 hours, because I knew it was a one time event. I got nothing but frustration for my trouble. I was completely prepared and did everything right. I was on time for every phase of the event, yet every single phase was inevitably broken in some way.

The demolition team on my server just stood in one place for hours. Nobody ever did anything to fix it. I’m sorry, but that is ArenaNet’s fault, not mine. And frankly I think I deserve compensation for it.

You certainly don’t seem to have given your comment any thought, as many of us gave just as much—if not more—than you did, and got absolutely no reward for it.

I did every event this weekend and I didnt get a precursor either. I was a little disappointed but hey its a random chest loot like everything else in this game.

I agree with Aleaf, people should not be getting something for not taking part in these events coz then nobody will bother attending. But they should hold the event twice, once 8pm gmt and another maybe 6pm Australian time. That way everyone will be happy and there is no excuse why you could not take part. And for those really hardcore players, that dont sleep can do it twice :P

So, the fact the event started at 8am in my timezone on Monday morning, and I have to go to work because I can’t afford time is my fault, and I shouldn’t feel hard done by because I couldn’t get to the event? You’re another one of those people who are missing a few points.

There was no way to know what kind of ‘one off’ event this was going to be. Halloween was a brief cinematic. Whee. Quite anti-climatic to how it was advertised. Had I known, weeks in advance, that this was going to be a multi-hour slugfest with unique items at the end of it that would not ever be obtainable again, then I may very well have scheduled some time off work in order to enjoy it.

But the point remains – this MMO was released world wide, and people from every time zone play it. With such a large event they need to cater to every time zone. Having it repeat every 3 hours over a 24 hour period, just like in GW1, would have worked fine. To counter chest farming, have it limited to being accessed once by an account instead of once per character.

Should I take the risk of getting time off work, when all it might be is a cinematic that lasts less than a minute? To expect that is ridiculous. I didn’t ‘choose’ to remain ignorant of an event. I enjoy playing the game, but in my available time. I did not get the chance to do so with this event. I paid the same, at least, for this game as everyone else. Why should I be punished because I’m not in the right timezone?

I spent 2+ hours on the event and died on the ramp right before the ancient karka died as soon as i was able to use a rez orb and head down, I made the mistake of rezzing a few people on the ramp on the way to the chest and it disappeared right as i got to it. So my fault. By trying to help others have a chance I lost out too. Just my bad luck, and no I do not expect Anet to reward me for doing what the entire event encouraged (rezzing others) I should have gone for the chest and then tried to rez others. Lesson learned.

The heck with precursors. Would be nice of course having additional gold or progression towards your legendary, but that’s not the point. The point is that people wasted 2 to 3 hours got disconnected, sucked into the scenery thus couldn’t be revived, couldn’t reconnect, were left behind and didn’t get anything from this. I’ve got trash worth 5s covering my repair bill. Thanks ANet for the pleasant evening! /sarcasm.

No I don’t want another “hit 1 to win” 2-3h event instead of playing WvW. I want my 20 slot bag and that accessory at least…

I’m very dissapointed about this event and i saw i’m not the only one. If you will keep doing this GW2 will end like SWTOR and many other games before. World Of Warcraft still prosper and is always a choice for all people who played that game. So I’m an old player of GW1 and now GW2, but with the games that grows in the market you must do more to keep players on this game. I realy don’t want to leave this game by playing others.
