Guild Wars 2

I was one of the people who logged into the Karka event and crashed right before the ancient Karka boss thing died. So I never got my items. I submitted a ticket, posted here on the forums, and waited.

…Today I log in and there’s an Ancient Karka Box in my mail inbox. I open it up and find my inventory filled up with yellows and oranges. That really made my day, and I wanted to say so here, publicly, because it seems to be so rare that the GW2 devs get thanked for their efforts.

I spent almost three hours today participating in the Karka event with my guild. I died repeatedly, helped out the… dozens, at least, possibly a hundred or more players in our particular overflow (so many people were on that there was a real problem with invisible objects). During the final battle with the… end boss (trying not to give spoilers), GW2 crashed for the third time today… and I could not log in for a half hour. My guild mates were able to obtain the really REALLY awesome items. I did not. I finally logged back in and found I had died again… so I had to spend more silver to port to a waypoint.

I’m starting a new topic for this because A: someone was being a little disruptive and I want to focus on the important thing, which is B: I simply would like to have the quest rewards. I never got to open that chest. I wanted to open that chest. My guild leader even got a precursor weapon. Is there going to be any compensation for people who went through all that effort and expense? My guild leader is KrystalTears.3520, if someone needs verification that I was there, and all.

(Please, no adding replies if you’re going to complain and rant about playing another game. The developers worked hard to make an awesome event. It was so awesome that their servers had trouble dealing with all the people jumping on. Please only add a reply if you’re going to say “thank you for the hard work, but I had the same problem and I’d like my awesome quest rewards as well.”)
