Guild Wars 2

Overflow, (normally Crystal Desert). 3:44 Eastern Time. No event.

Waited more than half an hour for the event just to see my client crash 5 seconds after event started. This is even more ridiculous than the event yesterday.

Sigh, it was bugged on my overflow, I got the travel message hoping to maybe catch the real server’s event. Nope, treb is built, event already over. I missed it. Now I can’t go back to an overflow to witness an event I missed out on. I waited for this event and I completely missed it because my overflow was broken and the real server is already done, there was no hope for an in-between for me.

This is unacceptable. I was here, I was waiting, I waited 10 minutes past due for the event, and nothing. NOTHING. I didn’t get to see the event, I missed it entirely because of the problems with the game.

Since it was a one-time event, now I’ll never get to see or participate in it. Whatever cutscene there was, is not gonna be available to me because of this.

What now? I guess I go on with the rest of the event without knowing what actually happened? =/ So disjointed and broken…

The catapult is still in construction in Northern Shiverpeak’s Overfow. It has been about 20 minutes since it started building.
The ship has appeared at the docks, but there was no event at all.

Also, the quest text has not changed since Phase 1. No “board ship”.

Everyone ran off to the new cove… I think I am the only one left on my overflow server LOL

Still no event

This is Henge of D LA overflow 45 minutes after the slated start of the event. No event but access to new island…

Gunnar’s hold overflow. No event. Cata half built. Quest text changed to board boat. Please tell me if I should continue waiting for this or if I should go put Xfactor on kthanks

GRRR!!! I was on ferguson’s crossing overflow. the event never happened. about 2:40 (CST) my connection dropped momentarily, i came RIGHT BACK! (back to the overflow) and now the catapult is done, and it looks like i missed the event!

This is B.S. I was planning my day around seeing the event live and appearantly it only took place in some pocket universe. Great, just great, i guess i will be looking for the event on youtube now.

That’s all we got on the TC Overflow as well

Another on Henge of Denravi with the same issue.

What they sad :[ Nothing is happening but we can go to the island x.x

Ehmry Bay overflow, the event never triggered – transport facilitator appeared instantly.

Yeah, my plans to fraps everything on maximum graphics settings at 1080p with my own character and make a compilation video of the whole event is RUINED because now I have a huge event missing. I give up. I just freakin’ give up completely.

So tired of being screwed over.

Hasn’t started on our overflow server either. The catapult FINALLY got built, but nothing yet. My worry is that people will get bored and leave before it starts, leaving us without enough people to do it. Can’t exactly go to home server and finish it after that, since home’s already done with it…

Update:
Drakkar-Lake, overflow, finished the building. Should something happen after that?

Darkhaven overflow. We can board the ship but the event never happened…
Most folk have left this overflow for the new map…

NVM, now it says to go board the ship. Seems like there was no event at all.

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. I have been standing around, as so have many others for over 30 minutes, for an event to start even though my friend, who is on the main channel on blackgate had it happen. In the overflow I did not. I have wasted my time with this, and this has really ticked me off. And now apparently I missed it because it occurred but not in my overflow.

Please just stop doing these one timed events. Or else get your acts together and make it work. This is putting a bad taste in my mouth, and I have been supportive of this game since day one.

CC Dalmarus.8397:

Thanks for the feedback and patience everyone. The team is investigating these issues as we speak. Please continue to let us know if the event has not kicked off on your server (overflow servers too). Also, let us know if you are in an overflow server and the event did kick off. Thanks!

Piken Square overflow – catapult finished now (50 minutes after the announced start of event). Nothing happening yet.

Maybe the team might want to restart the event next week, after they’re done catching bugs and other vermin. I’m sad to say it, but this is apparently going nowhere.

EDIT: Karka just spawned onto our heads. We’re apparently supposed to coat our weapons with something from nearby container, except the container is camped by karka. Um… (applause)

Maguuma overflow treb finished building at 50 minutes after. No event. transport is up.

I’m on an overflow server, and there’s no sign of the event at 44 minutes. No construction going on on catapults, not even any of the NPCs from Phase 1. The Consortium are there, as is the gate to the FotM. Other than that, no signs of event.

I’m sorry ANet, I know you guys are working hard, and you’re probably even more frustrated than we are, but I have to call The Lost Shores event a disaster at this point. Particularly considering the whole, “free weekend, invite your friends to come see what we can do,” thing.

Edit: Ah. Looks like maybe it completed while I was writing my post. Now the event assistant says, “Speak to the transport facilitator to board a ship to Southsun Cove,” but there’s no ship and no facilitator. There is a ship shown on the map, but there’s no ship at the dock.

Sigh…thanks Anet, didn’t get to experience the event (Karka attacking after Treb is built?)….everyone eventually left the LA Overflow I was in, on Borlis Pass.

Catapult has just finished building. No karkas in sight.
(Northern Shiverpeaks’ Overflow)

Wow, the event triggered and there are to few people left.. so we are dying too fast.. which costs us a lot of silver to repair.. WTH????

Waiting and then paying???

Where exactly is the catapault?
I see something here in Darkhaven overflow that’s in pieces above the claw island waypoint, outside Fort Mariner. Is that it?

Well, after 50 minutes the event suddenly started with no cutscene, but nearly everyone had already given up on it ever happening and now there are about 4 of us left so we can’t do a thing. Wonderful.

Same thing is happening here. We’re getting massacred.

Exactly the same.. Did you left a timer for the events and everyone went home this weekend? Man they are being a disaster, I feel really bad for you guys at Anet but really..

Yep everyone left our overflow, never started. Very disappointed

Finally started at 3:49 Eastern. Overflow. But yes, very many people left because, well, some people have better things to do on the weekend than wait around for 45+ minutes for an event to start.

C’mon, you guys can do better than this.

Has been one hour, no signs of anything other then it says we can take some ship and all the phase 1 npcs are missing except the girl with the genie. Finally figured out how to get the mystic forge to work for me and I cant hand in my donations QQ

Not sure what overflow I am on but my home server is Henge of Denravi. Thanks!

I’m in an overflow server. (Home server: TC)

On mini map: Southsun Cove Transport Facilitator is here and is able to transport to the new map. However, the trebuchet is unbuilt. Not sure if the event has ended for this map or not.

BTW Overflow instances should be numbered so we can give more accurate info when we report bugs here in the forums.

Please give us an update at least what to do. Should we stay on the overflow or leave?

lol, best event ever.. not.

was waiting on overflow server, after 45 minutes of waiting, NPC porting to the new zone spawned and everyone and his mother used him to port there. AFTER another 5-10 minutes those slacking workers finally finished the trebuchet and few minutes later the invasion began.. too bad, that there were only like 5 players left on the server at that time to be part of the event..

edit: also by doing the Lions Arch event I couldn´t take part on the new zone event chain… great job on the event, really

Waited 1 hour… then guild mates got into Southsun adn i left LA without the event… again….

Ferguson’s Crossing. LA Overflow. Event triggered and finished about 10 minutes ago.

In overflow, catapult was being built for over 30 minutes. Boat icon appeared. Nothing of note happened. Went to new zone by the boat and the lag was horrendous. Was disconnected midway through the event. Rejoined and had to start again. Lag was marginally better but a far cray from enjoyable, gameplay wise. Eventually completed event and have logged out.
That was an incredibly disappointing thing to experience. I can’t remember the last time I had less fun, perhaps a funeral.

Blackgate Karka keeps resetting and his health never drops below 75%. Weapons coated and everything.

Same on Darkhaven overflow..no one is around anymore and what I think is the catapault looks like it’s not even getting built. If it does get built then I’m a one many army waiting to get cut down.

Sucks that I got up early to play the event when I could have just slept in then gone straight to the island.

Might as well just go checkout the new map rather than sit here wasting time. :/
I hope someone captured vids of what we’ve missed…

So, we finally finished the event. With a handful of players we died so many times that the reward in the end didn’t cover the cost for repair.. Not Fair!

The only good thing was that we did not experience any lags..

ahh, yeah.. the boss fight skipped, was it supposed to do so?

We hope you will do better next time, maybe you should reconsider instances for those events.. it would be helpful a lot..

Hey lets have our fans be able to invite friends to come play out game during this wonderful event and hope they buy it to help our failing stocks. I don’t think you are impressing anyone into buying your game with this mess.

Still no event here. Catapult not even started and only 2 of us left here. Did we miss something?

I sat around in Overflow for half an hour until we were randomly told to go board a ship via the little box on the right side of the screen. …well, that was worth it.

Someone finally pointed out where the catapult was, so I could verify it was complete where we are. I don’t even think I’m IN an overflow, but can’t find where to verify. Sorrow’s Furnace is my server.

An Event did show up on Event news, but it was SUPER short and it wasn’t clear to anyone there if that appeared to be all of it. It’s now 1 hr and 15 after time for event, though if that was it, ours showed up at like maybe 10 after, I think.

Everyone’s wandering around just wondering what is up. Boat transport has appeared, but don’t want to leave in case there is yet to be Event. But the more I think about it, the more I feel that what we experienced was probably it... handful of karka around Mariner’s point that seemed to take like 30 seconds to deal with.

I kept saying that Anet was surely planning more, as this is a free preview weekend, and it seems, logical that purely from a business standpoint they wouldn’t want to deliver disappointments on big advertised events to potential buyers, even if (and I’m not saying they would do this) they didn’t care about the issue for people who had already purchased the game.

Oh well. Missed the first event due to work, the 2nd one was just a morass of confusion that is lasting into it’s 2nd hour now, I guess.

It’s great to see that ANET posted twice here, but something more definitive as to what should be expected/experienced seems like it would be in order... at least after all the overflows have caught up.

I was on voice chat with my guild during this. We were all on different main/overflow versions of Lion’s Arch. Some of us got the full event leading up to the ships, something about the inspector talking and catapults and fighting karka. Others got part of it, but it got stuck at the catapults. Others, myself included, got nothing at all—we stood around being confused for a half hour until we got a mail and a boat icon on the map.

Was in overflow, waitied for an hour and nothing happened. Then I used ship NPC to get to LS.

Basically, I was there but no event.

I hope someone can upload good vids of this b/c despite being there; I did not get to participate, evidently.

Had the quest text talk about the Alchemical Weapons, and the Trebuchet being built intermittently, when the workers weren’t drinking (literally).
Then the quest text changed to boarding the ship to Lost Shores. No actual event happened. At least Lost Shores seems to be working?

Crystal Desert Overflow

Events seem to have stopped at “The lionguard is actively working to wrest control of the island from the karka” with no conclusion of any kind…

working as intended?

Yea, we were escorting NPC and then she just disappeared. No one now knows what is going on right now, I don’t think it’s even progressing no more. It just stopped.

I’m wondering about this, too. Seems a little anticlimactic?
