Guild Wars 2

I am voting that the event was great on many levels. Especially after so much content on the Halloween event.

I am amazed at the efforts Anet is putting into the content of this game.

Background: We have two copies of the game and play as a 45yr old dad, 10 yr old daughter side by side for most of the events.

I have a lvl 80 guardian and she has a lvl 40 ranger.
Phases 1, 2 and 3 were all fun for us. She got off school on Friday and had the weekend all planned for us to be part of the events. I do think that Anet knows how excited players get about these events….and they are aimed correctly for younger players.

Phase 1 and the Phase 2 that lead to the FOTM where hard for us to do because of the lag, but overall once the zones were running the next morning we got to be part of each one. It was good that you could catch up and do these events later or at least go see the areas later and there was no real “missing” the content. My daughter loved the new jump puzzles and we spent most of our time doing those over the weekend.

For the final Ancient Kraka battle, together we must have rezzed other players 400 times during the final event. Our strategy was to hang back and just rez players over and over while firing at range at Kraka. We both got our last 100 Kraka kills “monthly event” during the event and at the end she was happier to dance on the Ancient Kraka Corpse than the treasure chest at the end because we finally got it done. She was actually a little dissappointed because they were lvl 80 rewards – however, once I explained we could sell some of them to get gear for her level she was very happy. The happiest reward earned was the 20 slot shell box.

Like I said at the beginning – we had fun trying and doing everyone of the different events that were part of this weekend. The lag was rough on each of the events, but is expected when there are so many people at once….the final battle was very EPIC.

Great job and we look forward to the next one.
