With the event behind us I wonder if what we see now is what we get out of the zone, or if there is more to come.

For starters, they removed an npc that sold an item for 1k karka shells. That price must have been wrong or designed to stay in game. Why the change?

The whole island makes an unfinished impression compared to every other zone in the game. It has no vistas or skill challenges. It has no hearts (ok Orr doesnt either, but its more of a warzone then this). It has no map completion and didnt become part of the world completion (the new PoIs in LA were added to map completion for that zone). So will the area be finished gradually during the next few weeks (like the build-up with the warnings and the whales etc in the weeks before the event)? If not, are there plans to complete it in an upcoming patch?

Some areas make you wonder if theres more to them. Someone mentioned the many wrecks around, but theres not much underwater content around the island. The Asura cannons at the hive werent used I think? Is there any point to them?

Right now the zone is only good for a round of harvesting imo, I hope it gets fleshed out a bit more. Maybe settle into the tourist attraction it should be with Karka contained on the western half and some lighthearted events/hearts on the less alien looking parts of the island.

Really, i think the Lost Shores was a mistake. I honestly believe that Southsun Cove should be sunk to the bottom of the sea again. Maybe in GW3 they can pull this off, but not yet.

The only good feature of the island, if the anciant karka shell vender has truely been removed, is the two jumping puzzles. Do them, and then leave. Lets all face that its easier and much less tedious to fight orrians than Karka.

No more non cosmetic world event rewards. We haven’t forgotten the Ancient Karka.

The big ones are annoying I’ll give you that, but on the young ones outranged or otherwise avoiding the first attack makes them pretty easy. They’re certainly no match for reef drakes (which are also alot easier at range). I’d rather stumble into 3 Karka then 3 drakes for sure. I prefer the island to Orr I think but it being fairly empty means it is only a half-baked alternative for now.
