Guild Wars 2

Okay I like that we have a new level 80 zone to play in and all, but Southsun cove, after this one time only event (which was okay despite some rendering issues and the reinforcement phases carrying on too long).. there’s 2 jumping puzzles, which people will do once, 2 tier 6 nodes of each type+ passionfruit, and that’s about it. Aside from this one time only event there isn’t really any compelling events that I’ve seen (compared to dragons and cathedrals).. so what’s next.. now that this weekend event that launched the zone is over… what’s going to keep us coming back?

The fact that we take more damage and do less damage to the mobs here? (is that even really a draw?)

Farming 1000 karka shells for the earring for alts?

For a place with a ton of shipwrecks on or around it, I’m surprised at the lack of hidden/sunken treasure chests in the area, and for a touriist resort I’m surprised at the lack of tourist attractions, unless getting mowed down by rolling karkas is a tourist attraction.

so.. what’s the deal here?

… are there any future plans for this landmass? Anything to keep us coming back? Or are we back to Orr?

All I know is this place is a miners dream. Not having a train of risen chasing me to that oracalcium is nice :-)

Everyone… Come!

yeah instead it’s a train of karkas that spit at you for 10k damage and it’s a multi hit attack so dodging won’t evade all of it.

Nothing like chasing down mithril and ori and ancient saplings to only get run over by that ridiculously over powered roll attack. The zone has a nasty habit of culling the big guys until it’s too late.

it’s a toss-up: good ore hangouts, but Risen Pulls versus Crab 3 shotting – that’s a tough decision to make.

i skipped a steak dinner to finish the event for a second time last night, and get nothing at the end chest. thank you.
