Guild Wars 2

With all due of respect… maybe you should hire someone who clarifies messages you put in the game?
I have tried to get into this event since start and all i ever get are these “not attacking this world” messages in red, while the white one insists that they are attacking.
Some in chat claim it already finished (in which case i have absolutely NO idea why the white text insists, its still active), while others say its due to the overflow.

So like, i have waited it out. Left overflow when prompted. The result:
The VERY SAME message of the attack being underway, but not cause scarlet’s minions are not attacking this world.

Since the Anet messages obviously make not the slightest amount of sense, and im slowly getting the living hell irritated out of me, could someone clarify what the hell is going on?

Shiren.9532:

If you move the the map within the first 10 minutes of the map being attacked, every overflow created in that 10 minute window is supposed to also have the event. As long as you move to the map within 10 minutes of the event starting you should be fine.

It’s incredibly lame to be moved to an overflow without the event (even more so if lag disconnects you and you re-enter into one) but they did create a work around for some people. I don’t think it’s perfect and I’m not enjoying being moved to an overflow without the event because I didn’t act within the first 10 minutes (for a variety of reasons) but it’s not unworkable.

What I don’t understand is, why doesn’t every overflow that spawns after the event begins have the event? What’s the harm in creating an overflow with the event 1 minute before the normal map’s event ends? I can understand that it might get confusing if an overflow map has the invasion event when a new invasion event is beginning on another map, but the alternative is paying to WP across the world to an empty map and waiting an hour before you can participate.

The prompt is really only useful within the first 10 minutes of it appearing.

Yes the messages are confusing and contradict each other.

I’ stood there thinking, WTH.
