Whether you had real arraignments and could not attend the event early, or you came to the forums to complain about not being rewarded well, or whatever your reason here is, guess what?! I am here to enlighten you with some news!

First, you can repeat the final event until Midnight PST/ or whenever they decide to “end” the Lost Shores event. So if you follow this guide, you should be enjoying the game more instead of waste your time doing something else!

1. Log off the forums and go straight to your game guild wars 2 client.
2. Log on, and launch the client.
3. Choose character A.
4. Go to LA; If you do not have LA (Lion’s Arch) open, go to World vs World and simply use the large asura gate that takes you to LA.
5. Once you are in LA, go to Sanctum Harbor Waypoint.
6. Go to the ship in the dock, and choose either port waypoint in the selection.
7. The LARGE circle in the island is repeatable; the one YOU want to focus on are the demolitions/reinforcement of the ancient karka ones.
8. IF you do not see those events opened, then press Enter, and use /map chat to ask if there is anyone available in an “active” overflow server. Ask to Join, then queue, and once you are in there follow step 9.
9. Follow through the entire event/ driving the Ancient Karka (big immortal mother of karks) down to the mountain, and once you push it there, you will need to defeat it up, then down, and then finally kill it on the base floor.
10. Once it is dead/ you view the final scene; you will unlock a Big chest containing 4-5 Exotics scaling your level (80’s if you are 80; 65 if you are below 80), precursor 15% opportunity, 20-slot bag, and a few other goodies.
11. Once you’ve completed it, hop on another character (just like you did in Halloween) and repeat step 4-11.

The Final event, which most people misunderstand is limited per character. Meaning you can do your BEST in each of your characters providing you do the following above, join parties/guildies, encourage yourselves to bring more people to “new” overflows that are beginning the event chain, and repeating your chance at gaining rewards PER character.

Overall, I do not want to see anymore complain threads pop up up for a while. Instead of waste your time here in the forums; GET ONLINE and throw a little gamble, but most of all have fun and enjoy this wonderful event phase Arena Net took so much time to give us!

Remember that they still haven’t introduced Bubbles yet, and it is rumored that there is a future scavenger system for precursors on its way. So there will be many more opportunities available to gain something fun, and exciting should you miss today!

Also, while I’m on that, precursors dropped down in price by 100-200g depending per item. So while you may have not been able to gamble on that 15% chance, they will definitely be affordable until perhaps December!

I do not know, but it is speculated by midnight PST. Do not quote me on that.

The chain of “important” kark events for those that did not complete it the first time takes about 1-3 hours depending on how many people are in your overflow and if you help each other! (If you don’t resurrect each other, then it will take longer) and for bearjebus! Please do not attack the Ancient Kark mother unless it tells you to! (you will not hurt it at all until the final phases)

Judging by what bear is saying (without quoting him/her) I would say

3am EST
2am CST
12am PST

I am not sure about oceanic time sorry guys T_T

I will say that the halloween event ended for us at around 11pm EST so there really is no telling :/ I would just get in there and try your hardest when you can.

Thanks Bear, however I probably can’t play till tomorrow evening again, having resigned to the fact that I would miss it and made other plans. I wish ANet actually posted that it would be repeating until x-time and date. Ah well, such is life. I don’t ever win the lottery either. :P

Good luck getting your precursors all!

I hear you, and its true offcourse. It does not make me feel better though. =(

Now I’m going to bottle my carebear tears, and sell it to the highest bidder.

Anyways, I guess its time to get back to work, otherwise I’ll soon have lots of time to farm a precursor…

I’ve spent an hour trying to do just that. Every server I tried has been full. So, I’m just giving up and going to bed and taking a break from the game for a few days.

Also, every overflow is going to be “Full” because people in-game already caught onto the opportunity. However, just keep right clicking the party member already in the overflow, and queue to join! If the whole Fort Kitten (I love the forum kitty word) server was able to coordinate well, then you can too!

Hope it helps guys, happy farming

This is absolute rubbish. There are people claiming to have run this event 3 times (laughing all the way to free loot and precursors), when I haven’t been able to even do this once.

I’ve tried for the past hour to server/shard hop in the hopes of getting a look at this event, but it’s fruitless. There is NO WAY Arena Net intended for someone to get multiple shots at this chest whilst others are left high and dry.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

I know you are frustrated but this was very much intended as the last halloween clock tower event went as far as every character could do this once and have a reward per character.

Reminder that precursor dropping is only at a 1-15% rate, you should be happy that besides being the first to test the new content, you also received some common unique exotics/items via the chest if you worked hard and fought in the dynamic event.

If all you did was stand there, leech and hopped for the chest, then remember that you are only able to acquire rewards if you participated in it. Which shame on those that did that and decide to go RAWR at the forum.

Even after this event closes, you are still not left dry. There are plans to make a precursor scavenger hunt and the prices for them fell hard. So for a few weeks to maybe a month, our market(s) will be screwy and what matters is that everyone will have a fair shot at acquiring a positive experience.

It is. Go look at the ops other posts. Guy blames people for having a low self esteem. Pretty odd.

This guy is keeping the positive air in the forums while telling you guys to do something about your problems in-game while you still have the chance!

QQ’ing at the event and sending pew pew’s at devs for your laziness is unacceptable! You can waste your time all you want with me, but don’t think twice that you will be catered by anyone after they see how you spent your time during the last few hours of the event!

You are living on an entirely different planet to the rest of humanity. We do not have a chance. You can not select which over-flow server you zone in to. The very few over-flow servers which do have this event still running are full. The vast majority of people have no way of communicating with those people who are on the over-flow servers to form a party and get on said over-flow servers.

You do not speak for Arena Net when you say “this was intended”. If it were ANYTHING like the Halloween Clock Tower event everyone would be able to do it whenever they wanted, and the event would repeat. This is not the case.

The sheer fact that god kitten chest drops literally the most expensive items available in the game, FOR FREE, is wrong. Especially when Arena Net have locked out a huge portion of their players from even seeing it. It’s a horrible, ill-conceived design.

Yes you do. Everyone has a “chance.”

Simple steps:
1. /map ask people if anyone in their guild/pug group is in an active server.
2. request to join
3. right click person in active server and join server
4. you will be queued; be patient and you will enter.

Wala~ how simple was that?

1. Arena Net has too much on their hands to deal with QQ whining people in the forums.
2. If you played the clock tower you would understand the process + character reward system.
3. If you played the clock tower you would know it was a one-time event and it is unknown if it will come back for players to do it “whenever, excuse my french, wanted”

The sheer fact that god kitten chest drops literally the most expensive items available in the game, FOR FREE, is wrong. Especially when Arena Net have locked out a huge portion of their players from even seeing it. It’s a horrible, ill-conceived design.

If you feel that way, then you have the “choice” to leave the game and stop playing. Nobody is forcing you otherwise to enjoy the content Arena Net gives out to their players, or follow their “well made” design in place.

You’re spot on about that, and you’re right. There are a lot of people who have already done the uninstall, and I’m not far off either. Just because YOU got YOUR chest does not make this event “OK”.

OP maybe you dont realise that a lot of people already spent 2-3 hours doing this event, only to be disconnected or lagged out and thus missed the reward. Almost none of the many thousands of players complaining were asking to get to repeat that horrible lag fest. They asked for their earned rewards, and Arenanet already replied that they would find a way to get them the rewards for participating in the event.

What you are saying is that for some reason, those people should do the event again, lag and dc’s and whatnot again. Why? – alot of them didnt enjoy it the first time around, let alone have any reason to bend over backwards in order to find themselves in an overflow so they can repeat it.
I am sure there are those who are repeating it infact, since the original thread has 600 replies or so. But that came about without the tone of your OP, and without the condescension and lack of empathy you show.

Edit: Just read Vigils post above. Realised OP is majorly trolling. – /sigh

For those who are constantly QQ about precursors dropping i guess anet has to delete all monsters from the game since they have a tiny % to drop one lol… Sort of sad this the society that we live in, where the people get on their hands and knees and beg for people in power to give them everything because they do not have the incentive to do something on their own.

As ANET has stated in the past, all of their events are scheduled based on population pooled from their servers to accompany the greater amount. They have also stated that this one time system of events is not guaranteed to be used for every event, Just like the Halloween Event this Event was also done months ago and that they were under a strict time line to push those 2 events out. If you want change wait till Wintersday (guild wars Christmas/ <insert your religious winter holiday here> ) when they are able to apply the adaptations that are needed.

To quote a famous business man:
“Luck and timing will ensure success, so be prepared for luck”

The time was posted way in advance, a great majority of the complaints i have seen on the forums fall in the category of Lazy Slobs who assumed this event will be pointless. For those people I say this: Go Back To WoW and stay there, good riddance.
For those people who missed the event due to personal reasons, I’m terribly sorry that you missed the event but you don’t deserve any special treatment. Just because your Government or culture may spoon feed you everything that you could ever want does not mean that anet is required to.

The ONLY people who deserve any compensation are those who got dcd at the end of the event or the event freezing up as was the case on two servers. Those people should have a waypoint mailed to them that will allow them to open the chest and get their chance at great gear and leave.

Hopefully this will teach those spoiled WoW brats not to assume that the whole event will “be pointless and suck”.

p.s. i missed the event but im not crying about it lol

Honestly, instead of editing your post 3 times in a row, you could at least edit it before posting it.

Perhaps I have either not been clear enough with you or you just misunderstand. So I will bold it as well: If you publicly kindly ask others if there are others that they know in an active server, they will respond kindly to you if they know of anyone that is still farming in an active early overflow server

As for the people who chose to uninstall, good for them! Less QQ’ing in the forums to deal with, and will not effect the main game population not one bit! If anything, after phase 3, lots of players are going to be pleased and excited with the recent/future changes of this game!

Network issues are already being looked into by staff via twitter, facebook, and in-game. Those that missed the reward because they sat out on it/or want to be catered disgust me, and I just will not tolerate it.

Rewards were not guaranteed to begin. What you acquired was an experience. Some got items others did not, and others did vise versa. Everyone gained something from this event, and instead of QQ’ing in the forums, those of you could still be out there hunting for the “reward” you all missed.

As for your second paragraph; the answer is to have fun, and to give the event a 2nd chance. If you give up just because your first chance of it sucked, then it is your fault for the things you are complaining about. As for hurting your feelings, I apologize, but honestly I will never show empathy to those that sit back wanting something while others are out there working hard to get rewarded for an optional one-time-event.

If Anet designed game and regulated the economy with such a heavy hand so players won’t be left out, this event certainly backfired. One time events are too exclusive and too exclusionary.

At the very least, there should be some kind of system that allows players to go back and revisit the events even if it’s on their own.

That’s your opinion, and I respect it. However this was a one-time-event and by participating, creating a character, and playing the game in general you chose to abide by their rules, their design, and their method.

I would offer the suggestion that you create a thread about it with some ideas over how you would change it, but please let’s stay on-topic here and devoid from negative feedback on this wonderful bear++ thread!

I do sympathize with those who spent 2.5 hours and got disconnected, or in some cases died at the very end and were not rezzed to claim the chest. That definitely would suck. On the other hand, it looked like a hundred players or more on the OF server that I was on were all over the chest at the end. I saw a lot of celebrating, myself included. I think the event was epic, and I hope A-Net gives us more of this. So glad I was able to attend the final Lost Shores event after missing the first due because of work and family committments.

If precursors are dropping at a 15% rate for the “one time” event then there needs to be an event of equal difficulity that runs permanently that offers the CHANCE to get the same types of rewards. There is not a single event in the game that is even close to dropping 2-4 exotics, 2-4 rares, and a 20 slot bag for a couple hours of effort. Those who missed lost out big, there is no denying it no matter how mad it makes you when people point it out.

Paranormal, you keep comparing this to the clock tower event, which was repeatable by design. Stop doing that, it’s not the same at all. Your suggested workaround in the initial post gives you a chance (not by Anet design) but is no guarantee of it working. I have a friend not at work this afternoon trying the overflow trick for about 5 hours, has lost connection three times after finally getting on an active overflow. He has no rewards whatsoever.

Stop —boasting-- Saying that this is a sure fire way for people to get in.

Edit: ‘boasting’ is a bit over the top. If I had to do this, I would repeat the event officially every 3-4 hours over a 24 hour period, calling it a ‘re-enactment’ or similar for the sake of form. I would also lock the chest opening per account rather than character, or make the rewards far less valuable.

I am not mad, I’m just being “Evilly” blunt by telling them it does not matter. Half the items you gained from the chest are recoverable by karma vendors, and the precursor drops are irrelevant compared to the large rumor that anet will implement a scavenger hunt allowing more drops in the coming weeks + already the market TP has dropped 100g-200g in prices for some of them.

Stop boasting that this is a sure fire way for people to get in .

As for Jaric, this one-time-event was (as it has now ended according to forums) repeatable by design as long as you were in an active overflow server and did it with a character that never did the event chain before.

I did it with 3 characters of mine. Most Fort Kitten players did it more than 5 times. Some went hardcore and did it with every character, even if they had to create lvl 2 characters!

What does that say? It says that IT worked, but anyone that QQ’d and decided to avoid my post missed it. Shame on you not meh bro on that one.

In order to get the reward, you had to jump to the overflow server, new character, and here’s the crucial part: COMPLETE the entire important chain, or participated and opened the chest when it was available

If your friend participated, and disconnected right at the chest, then tell him to NOT WORRY because it is being looked into, and as long as he reported it, anet will compensate those that participated at that moment but crashed.

Geez guys, also note that you can recover some of the lost accessories via crafting, and karma vendors. All is not lost! just keep a positive and keep reading patch notes!!

Sigh on people that edit their post more than once after posting;

My post served as a reference to get in when the event was going on. The event has now closed according to several threads in the forums, and now this topic will not be needed again (unless they decide to extend it).

‘boasting’ would be being a kitten for telling everyone that I got awesome gear, but you don’t see me doing that; instead you see me rallying people to go play the game instead of negatively whine around here which is the type of behavior you are encouraging.

IF, and this is a strong iff they should ever extend it, then consider yourselves lucky! If they don’t, then like I provided above, there is more positive content on the way, and that itself should make people stop QQ’ing about it, and focus on the good stuff coming!

Topic starter give a very good tip for everyone who missed it.
Yeah, some overflows have their p3 event. A couple of my guildmates doing it now.

Those who complain about the precursors must know that this is a one-time event. It must be special and very rewarding. It’s long and tedious. Only those who make effort to stay on are rewarded with a chance to obtain a precursor. (Although I feel for those who gets dc’ed in the final phase of the boss. I get dc’ed twice during the 2 hours but luckly not during the final boss.)

I’m in game now. Has the event ended? I can’t tell. Either way the instructions above make no sense to someone who hasn’t run it. Paranormal Bear is making a horrible point that makes Anet look bad. If Anet views the players like he does then e it and not kitten with their buddies behind the player bases backs. I would go so far to say that Paranormal Bear has contact with some Anet circles and this is the true way they view the player base. I am not impressed (if my suspicions are true) but regardless Paranormal Bear is a horrible individual.

Sorry for the edit, but I realised boasting was over the top so it had to be changed, and while I did that I realised I hadn’t suggested any kind of a fix for the issue, so included it. I also only edited the post once, not multiple times.

My friend never got near the chest due to crashes. I let him know not to panic if he didn’t get to open it. He has since simply given up and is now doing something else instead of wasting his time and money. He was trying the overflow trick before you posted it here on the forums.

I realise they cannot re-do this event, and nor do I expect them to. However they should realise how badly it was done as a one-off event, and act accordingly in the future. Previous one off events (Mad King coming out of the fountain cinematic?) have not been as large or rewarding. I don’t even get a chance to try this, I have been stuck at work all day. This creates a lot of resentment considering the size of the rewards.

All I hope is they take the rather large amount of feedback given about it and do the right thing for future events.

So the real instruction should have been to got to the harbourmaster at the ship not the actual ship.

So the real instruction should have been to got to the harbourmaster at the ship not the actual ship.

I summarized the instruction, however instead of trolling and insulting my thread, you could have realized that the “harbormaster” or Southsun Cove Transport Faciliator NPC was the only NPC that took players on the ship to the island as mentioned in the following wiki:

get off your high horse the tone of the OP is just so over superior .. you realise some of us just did EXACTLY what you said and had the plug pulled minutes before completion …. it so easy for you to rant about this when you clearly already done it ….

love to see how much you’d type if you were in our shoes!

Honestly, you come to complain because you did it (or tried to do it) in minutes, when I posted these instructions 4 hours ago says something about your character.

I understand you are frustrated, but the only ones who are raging about it are the ones that believed they could do this in minutes. The duration was 1-3 hours and wasn’t something that could have easily been accomplished quickly solo. This thread was to be used as a reference, a guide, for players to quit their forum nagging and turn their focus in-the-game by utilizing their player skills and asking other players for server information.

Instead of nag at me for something you did not achieve, why do you not stop what you are doing, go out and take a deep breath/fresh air, and then come back civilly? For all the negative attacks on me, your lack of reading skills is on you. Not me.

Edit: I deleted posts after this one. Please keep it clean and on topic guys so that we don’t have to have a forum moderator keep an eye on this tiny reference thread!

Just finished work and saw this thread at 7.15pm AEST/1.15am PST. Guess that’s it….Thanks for the info anyway Bear.

Over the weekend l read thread after thread of people upset with timing. Not even US players let alone Oceanic.
It seems very unfair that many of us were unable to participate in this or the Halloween events due to other commitments/issues.
Played Gw1 for more hours/years than l want to mention here, yet like other of my old Gw1 friends, losing interest fast.

Some acknowledgement by Anet to all those of us who have missed out on these events would also be appreciated. Instead they make a sticky about those who were able to make the event yet disconnected. It’s not like we did not want to attend.

Please Anet take the hint and put these ‘One time’ events back on the drawing board.
