So I guess this is the first big livng story patch we have seen. I just got back from the massive event in fireheart rise. We had about 8 commander pins on the map, each with about 30 peopel easily on them. I have a pic of what is undoubtedly 80 people, and it runs so smooth. We acc failed the event. We had 30 secs left on it and 5 percent on the last wave. It was fun though. Thanx Anet this is a hundred times better than last shores. Its seriously impressive in terms of capability. All the different factions, the massive amounts of DE’s. This is exactly what I wanted to see happen with DE’s and the Living Story.

Overflows should have the same events with a 10 minute delay. Unfortunately, kitten’s broken… again.

Clarification: You need to get to the overflow within 10 minutes of the invasion starting or you will need to wait about 45 minutes for the next one to begin.

There should be some sort of notice or timer or countdown thing letting those of us who got stuck in an overflow how much longer the main server has to finish it. It’s really annoying getting to the map and not know how much longer i have to wait for the event to finish.

I got to overflow and waited 40 minutes for the event to happen or to move out of overflow – only to move out of overflow to nothing. It would have been nice to know I was going to waste my time and should be doing something else. There is a lot of confusion going on right now and people are pretty upset in the overflows.

Oh, and I reported it as a bug since I didn’t know that you have to be in overflow during the first 10 minutes or it won’t happen. guess i shouldn’t have done that.

Could be worse, I got put into an overflow with my group. Our home instance failed, but the overflow succeeded. Wasn’t even sure that was possible.

I finished (we were successful) the Fireheart Rise event a few minutes ago. Well done, ArenaNet! It was tons of fun and cool new rewards. Got around 7 achievements, as well.

I gotta say, turning off culling has made a world of a difference for me. Completing the first invasion event in Tarnished Coast at Fireheart Rise just felt so… epic! Seeing all the cities fully fleshed out with people is a great sight too. Heck, this one change alone has made the patch totally worth it for me.

So your problem is that people prefer this event and are leaving wvw, dungeons, and pvp?

…. Your issue is that other people are having fun?

Could be the worst patch to date on the technical side of things.
Culling removed in combination with an LS patch where the whole server bunches up in one area of one map, with overflows in overflows where events don’t happen and people are stuck.

All-in-all, good idea, poorly executed, terrible design, lag.

This is broke. I cannot seem to stay in an event. There is no way to get back into an event once you are out of it. Therefore, this has effectively cut me off from game content. I am a casual, non-pvp gamer. This content is what I log-in to play for.

Not playable at all, complete fail. Have tried 3 different events. So many people you can’t see anything on the screen, then it freezes and I get kicked to an overflow. Not happy with this one at all, and it looked like it could have been a lot of fun. I guess I can try guesting to an empty server, otherwise this will be another event that I will not be able to do.

In one event, this game is now ruined for me. I am a PVE player and I love the events and living world (up until now). I have spent an entire day trying out this content and have failed to complete it once due to not being able to get into the event. Due to the fact that I cannot reenter the invasion events if i get disconnected, this content is essentially blocked to me. Game over. Very disappointed. I will watch to see if this gets fixed, but have my doubts since I am but a lonely individual. I am so mad right now.

For now, I really dislike this zergfest. From my point of view, Its considered laggy (15fps), disorientating, boring, 45min random spell spaming event, with a bit of running around.

No. The event lasts 45 minutes, so if it started any later than ten minutes past the hour it would get cut off (on the hour) when the next event started.

Why? We use initials like that in real life e.g. LA and KL. I don’t see why Tyrians wouldn’t do the same.

I like it. The new opponents seem to have some interesting abilities and the whole experience seems to make the community more communal and goal oriented. Yes it is possible to zerg the events to a certain extent, BUT if you zerg blob the map the overall event will fail. So far I give it a 9/10 as the overflow can be a pain, and the final boss is too squishy, however the content is solid.

More like these in the future please!

I love the idea, I love the mobs and whilst a kindless zergfest, it does have an epic feel (offset by God awful music which doesn’t set the battle up at all). The story started to improve as well (not great, but better)

The problem is the gating – ie not being able into Pavilion or into an event if you miss an overflow that was active 10mins post. There is no reason not to have multiple maps on the go. It’s a question of “right time” to log in…ie luck.

So far 5 invasions, only got into 2 of them. Hats off to the designers of the mobs though. They are VERY cool to fight. And a nice design. Lots of screenshots of them!!

I logged in late to the Lornar’s Pass one but got into an overflow for the Fireheart Rise one. I crashed into character select screen and entered again but then crashed during loading into Lornar’s Pass. After a few minutes the screen went white and I closed gw2 and reopened. I now missed the Fireheart Rise one. I then closed the game and played a different game.
