Guild Wars 2

I didnt have any time to enter this weekend event, so if anywone would be so kind to detail me what exactly happened…:P

The Ancient Karka tripped over the login server’s power cable

You forgot to mention – and then pooped out dozens of precursors that only a fifth of the players could pick up

(im jealous i didnt get one…)

I request a Christmas Event that runs for the whole of December month because people will complain they didnt get the epic chest (with chance of precursors inside) at the end of one time events due to the following:

1. they are on holiday over the xmas period
2. they failed to notice the Special Events notification on login and forums
3. the timezones makes it impossible to attend one-time events
4. the snow broke their internet connection
5. they had to attend xmas parties and were too drunk to log in

Thank you for your time

Watch Starship Troopers movie to find out what Phase 3 was like

A quick recap of the events thus far from my POV.

1. Friday morning – patch loads and installs with most less than stellar profession changes.

2. Friday evening – Invasion of Lion’s Arch begins (about 20 minutes late iirc). Server is drowned in lag. People are unable to do anything for the first 15 minutes of the event. After server crashes and various disconnects, things eventually stabilize a little. Commence shooting Karkras for 20 minutes until event suddenly ends. Nobody’s quite sure what happened.

3. Saturday Midday – Find out about the new Investigation questline thanks to Dulfy.net. Quickly realize that a crucial NPC (Noll) is bugged and that I can’t progress the quest. ANet disables progression of that quest line in the same patch they fix Noll. /facepalm

4. Saturday Evening – Everyone is hanging out in LA waiting for the 2nd one-time event. But it never launches on the overflow server. Nothing happens for 60 minutes until suddenly the sailing ship symbol appears and we can enter the new zone.

We conquer the island in a big Dynamic Event Chain and explore the island, do the new jumping puzzle etc. That part was quite enjoyable to be honest.

5. Sunday Evening – Final part of the event-chain begins with the opening of the cave. Despite 50+ players participating the players zerg gets repeatedly wiped by massive waves of spawning Karkras. Kind of fun though, despite hefty lag and low FPS.

But the event drags on and on for over 2 hours…as we kill wave upon wave of Karkras reinforcements. Very few of these mobs drop loot too, which makes it feel very unrewarding.

That is until the last phase of the event when we slay the Ancient Karkra and she drops a massive loot chest rewarding players with 3 exotics and 2 rare items. The market is suddenly flooded with Precursor weapons of all kind. Other players get away with barely 3 Gold worth of items.

The aftermaths can be observed here on the forums.

Nice summary DeeJay

Nice! Thanks for the answers! So for new content is that map n PvP, the Fractals dungeon and the new island?

Sunday Evening is different depending on where you live. For any oceanic player, it meant coming online as soon as work was done in the late afternoon and asking the OP’s question. One time event done?? What happened??
