Guild Wars 2

What items, xp, or whatever else did you receive from the event? Right now it appears to be a waste of time.

Waste of time…like the previous two days of events…and its also just not fun.

Was it worth it? In short: NO.

Only a major headache and the feeling of wasted time.

I couldn’t complete the entire event because I got stuck@ loading screen, what were the rewards?

Doing it atm, at the part you have to defeat reinforcements. Been a really really boring time during these events

Utter waste of time. All the efforts put into lost shores should have been put into fixing more bugs and adding content to already established zones.

The Fractal of the Mists was cool, but the monthly event… totally unnecessary. At least now we know that if it isn’t a holiday we can just skip them.

Lag, and getting killed by invisible mobs

Gonna have to lean towards no… and I really hate to say that but unless the rest of this turns out for the better, it’s gonna be no.

You dont get anything so no, the events were absolutely atrocious. Again the game is let down by poor mechanics, hitting a boss for 2 hours without having to do anything and lagging out doesnt constitute as fun.

Plus you could maybe increase the zoom out distance, I can barely even see the karka your modellers put so much work into.

What loot? Haha what a gigantic waste of time.

WASTE OF TIME. THIS EVENT WAS GARBAGE.

You receive a negative amount of silver from repairing and porting.

The first event, escort the demos wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t a terrible event. The Ancient Karka event just plain sucks. This isn’t fun…

On another note, why don’t these one time events that require significantly more time than other lvl 80 repeatable DEs actually gave a bigger reward in terms of karma, experience, and gold?

Bearing in mind it hasn’t ended on my server, and I wasn’t doing it for drops I’ve so far got 3 chunks of crab meat, 2 white weapons and some vials of blood.

Won’t cover the cost of my repairs and I doubt I’m going to have time to stay up for the end, even if it is working.

I enjoyed knocking down the tree onto the guy’s head

Na in all seriousness, It’s been ok imo, made a nice change and I enjoyed the flow of the events like landing at the points then making roads etc patrolling, had a nice flow to it.

IMO introducing three different sizes of Karka and having you kill them 3 days in a row is not really event worthy.
Though making them invisible for phase 3 was very clever. It was like watching “Paranormal Activity” on my screen, which I just love that movie, but I was disappointed to find out the things throwing me around were Karka and not some sort of Lost Shores Demon.

Oh well, maybe next event. Until then I hope we armorsmiths can learn to craft Chastity Belts to help keep the Karka-faces at bay.

Major let down. I was looking forward to the final phase all weekend. Very boring, just kill same stuff over and over and over. And than die over and over and over. No loot and little XP. What’s the point.

I’ve played for 1.5 hours now, am defeating the second “event” where there are tons of reinforcements. It’s just incredibly boring, waaaay to long and repetitive. I’m really sad, will go to bed now without even completing it

No loot? Wait? What

Oh no

Nope. Most boring and tiring event ever, even the tutorial events were more interesting and engaging.

After about 80 minutes my sound bugged out midway escorting the king kakra or whatever he’s called back to the caves. I was relieved that I had to log out:) The event stages are way too long and there’s too many people causing lag to be an enjoyable experience. I really like the IDEA of this event, but in it’s current form, I’d have to say they have much work to do.

Lots of people left due to it being far too long, or boring, or sick of paying all the money for repairs. On the 2nd reinforcement part and I almost want to stop playing ( well im even posting here atm ) . Very interesting event, just horrible lag and had a pretty bad experience so far.

No. Probably worst event I was ever part of. COuldn’t see a lot, got few drops (yay condition builds get screwed over) and it was just a monotonous drag.

I got gray trash! After a couple hundred kills, I was able to loot twice! SO FREAKING AWESOME OMG I LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!!

In a word: No.

It was not worth it. If I had been running Orr, dungeons or WvW in the same time I was in Southsun or doing events. I would have gotten SO MUCH loot.

I got nothing out of this event.

The Fractals is the only thing good about it. This dungeon concept is quite awesome and I hope they expand upon it. They can start with making the entrance in another zone than LA >.<

The zone seemed a bit laggy even without the event, so I’m kinda glad I wasn’t able to participate in the -one time thingy-. They obviously didn’t cater well enough for it if everyone was lagging which means that maybe in the future they shouldn’t run one time events – or maybe send people off to an instanced place after a hard to reach portal. The second chest on the Skipping Stones puzzle (awesome btw, kudos to the designer of that) would be an appropriate place.

The -event- itself however… I found the Mad King more epic.

i didn’t get squat from this event =/ why should we toil over killing the same monsters that dont give ANY loot OR exp or anything remotely interesting??
they can take lions arch for all i care

Nope not worth it. Cost more to repair then got out of the event.

I don’t understand how the same team that made Fractals, made this?

Fractals is the best dungeon experience I’ve had in any MMO. I’ve not had such a good dungeon since…. Sorrows Furnace maybe?

This final event is just terrible.

I thought it was fairly fun overall (it’s actually still going on my server) after the lag wared off.

It does get a bit tedious towards the end, killing the same mobs over and over again but ok, that was to be expected.

My problem was though, that it was completely unrewarding.

You got to do like….3 events….roughly 1000 Karma…in 2 hours and practially no loot whatsoever.

15 minutes of Plixing was more rewarding than this.

Waste of time AND coin. I spent dozens repairing and porting because the lag was so atrocious. All that and the best drops I got were some rare upgrade items. I’ve gotten better drops running through Caledon Forest just to pick up some quick daily events.

If the next event goes anything even REMOTELY as badly as this I don’t think I’ll worry about any non-holiday events from ANET again. This was a failure beyond epic. I thought Blizzard was the king of broken code and bad network planning, but this was just insanely worse.

My overflow is almost 2 hours into the event and not even close to completion. So no way will any reward be worth it. All the lag, the numerous disconnections, huge repair costs make this anything but fun.

Still going on my server. I am tabbed out with auto attack on… this is quite a lame event IMO.

NO!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Event is bugged so ppl are randomly crashing. Happened to me 3 different times. Wouldnt be so bad but each time my contribution was wiped clear. On top of that I came back in to 3 different overflows, at 3 different points in the event, till finally on the last crash I come back in to NO EVENT!! It was already over. So the last 2 1/2 hours were a complete waste and I had died, and fought, and killed for nothing. Even the drops were grey item vendor trash. This by far is the worst example of an “Event” I have ever seen in any MMO that including WoW for 5 yrs, Rift, SWTOR, and this game. All this work to have stupid “overflow” bugs. You should have planned on all the ppl that dont play, jumping in for the event and crashing the servers. This was such BS and a waste of time. If this is what GW2 is and has planned for the future I’ll write this game off as a complete and total loss.

Wait, nobody else got a chest full of rares at the end? Sucks for you, I did. The first two legs of the event were awful, the last was actually really cool. All in all, it was worth it.

2 exotics, 2 rares, 20 slot box, and an exotic jewellery with all stats. AWESOME loot, that 20 slot bag alone saved 10-12g. Some people even got legendary precursors.

Not worth it. Waste of a day. Waste of ANet coders’ time to have done this.

Volomon.9147:

No.

Absolutely, it would have been worth it without the loot but the loot is an exclamation point.

Waste of time with no reward. ANet wont see me and few tens of my friends for this kind of thing in the future.

Thanks for ruining my night.

You get a chest with 3 exotics and some rares.
But still no. That event was just horrible.

Got 2 Exotics, 2 Rares, one account bound exotic accessory like the Triforge amulet, and a 20 slot bag (also account bound).

Got a bunch of lv 60 trash items as reward.

Wish someone actually let us know “It is recommended to do event on your lv 80 character or you’ll receivie completely useless rewards”

Fought all the way to Captains Retreat, got disconnected, lost all progress and event. Unable to log into event, missed the end and the loot. VERY disappointed with this event. Nothing but bugs throughout the three days. I will not participte in further events. Not worth my time nor the headache.

Im thinking if everyone who wasn’t lvl 80 got precursors/exotics the prices would plummet into nothing

Yes, it was.
Nice event, had fun and nice loot.

I got dawn so it was most def worth it.

The rewards I got (no precursor, 2 exotics that sell for about a gold each) probably covered the repair cost from dying. Maybe I netted a small profit.

For the people that got precursors, the rewards justified the difficulty of the encounter. For everyone else? Not so much…

The lag was really what made the event terrible, though

EDIT: I forgot about the bag, I suppose that made the reward worth it for everyone. Well, everyone that didn’t get DC’d and was able to loot the chest.

simple answer is no. To many bugs, and the final event people would either lag to death, or Disconnect. I know that I disconnected at least 4 times, and am less than pleased.
