Guild Wars 2

I know it may sound dumb, but will the first event happen only once in the whole day, or will it repeat itself? I ask tis because I won’t be able to play at the time that the first event comes out.

Hello,

Martin has an awesome write up Here.

The first event in Lion’s Arch kicks off at 12pm pst but there is plenty of other cool things if you can’t make it.

If you are referring to the Finale event on Sunday at 12 pm PST that is a onetime only event and it does not repeat.

Hope you can make it,
Sarah

Will the first event continue throughout the first day? for example, If I miss the first few hours of the event, will it happen again later that day?

The event is a one time event if you miss it you miss it so be there at 12 noon PST it’s much like the mad king cut scene

If its just going to be a "epic"youtube cutscene on sunday then i do without but if theres any trinkets to be gained then its a shame for those who miss out to RLF committments

If it is in fact like the Mad King cut scene, then it would replay all day just not as a cut scene.

Thanks for clarifying, Sarah. I was afraid the event wouldn’t repeat. Woohoo!

Is there any achievement related to this first event?
I think i will not be there… and I don’t like missing achievements…

So….if you are not able to be online at a specific time on one day, there is no point of doing this event?

Thank you ArenaNet. Now I can safely plan my weekend without worrying about getting online. I have far too much to do, to waste time with a one-time event lasting only 3 days and requiring me to be here at EXACTLY the right moment.

And after the Halloween event, I am now recommending to other not to participate either. The selling point of this game was that I could play at my own pace, in my own time. FORCING players to jump to on events ruins that. Make this a 3-month event and maybe I’ll reconsider….but this? This is crap and you know it.

If time is so precious to you, i don’t think you should be playing games at all, life isn’t fair, people will always be left out,

if you think watching a one time cutscene of something poping out of something is so important to you(like the mad-king event) , i think you should get help also

Basically, here’s a summary of how it works:

Nov 16:
- One-time kick off special event, probably a cinematic similar to Mad King Thorn’s first appearance in LA.
- Karka attack LA and players must fight them off. Probably a repeatable event that goes on throughout the day.

Nov 17:
- Second phase starts when players gain access to Southsun Cove.
- No one-time event.
- Southsun Cove will remain even after the weekend is over.

Nov 18:
- Third phase starts with a one-time only, multi-hour event, revolving around the Ancient Karka in Southsun Cove. This likely means that once the Ancient Karka is defeated, he will never show up again.
- Some sources have claimed that players will receive a special reward for attending this finale, but I don’t know if this is confirmed by ANet.

Oh how naive we all were back then.. “it’ll just be a cutscene I’ll miss, nothing rare or anything”
