I had a great time in the event. It was a lot of fun despite the huge number of deaths from the lag boss and the sudden-freeze boss and the disconnect boss. But having spent 2 and 3/4 hours battling through some great fights despite lag and disconnects, I finally met the unbeatable boss … the login server boss.
I hope when ANet come to evaluate participation in the event, if any rewards are forthcoming, that they look seriously at the amount of time spent fighting through the pre-cursor events. Like many others here, I didnt even get to see the final Karka event because the login server borked and wouldnt let me back in from 2.30 PST or thereabouts. Please, Anet, be careful not to disenfranchise those of us who couldnt regain access after game-load driven disconnects and breaks and were unable to participate in the final fights.
Disconnects are barely tolerable if game-server loads explode, but to be continually denied service because of a broken login server – is it a sign that so many people got disconnected that the login server broke?
