If you couldn’t find the time to play, it’s not Anet’s fault.
I think only that those who played the event, spending 2~4 hours in the game instead of doing something else they wanted, and got kicked in the end even after being there all the time were entitled to the same rewards. Now, let’s talk about people that logged right at the end, done so much less and got rewards? Are we going to demand they have their rewards stripped from them? That would be fairness, in it’s full, i think. Not applicable.
The event wasn’t even much fun, because of technical problems and being so long and grindy. The concept was cool, the once-a-time thing (but maybe an event with such impact as a new race appearing could have been dragged for more time and story could be more detailed before the climax), but the execution felt short at the later stages. It was fun being part of something that big until the monsterlag started.
It would have paid off if we hadn’t lost the rewards just because a five minutes dc. I even think people would be whinning less about being bored if they had gotten their rewards.
Like many people, got disconnected right before the reward and lost it.
Lag at the end was making the game nigh impossible to play. Like 20 sec response delay.
It was really slow to progreess through the last stages of the Karka fight, but maybe because there were fewer people than expected at the overflow servers, and partly because people were pointing aimlessly at every monster without concentrating DPS. From the time the team started focussing on single veterans and cleaning them one by one before bigger ones, things got a bit better. But the real boss was the lag at the end…
It’s just a pity I ended up without any rewards because of a ill timed disconnect. I wish there is a way to fix this. If there is a way to record who was present but didn’t get rewards and mail them…
Maybe too tricky to do :/
I don’t think I died once at the final part of the event, despite being really close to the action. Was doing a lot of support too. Then the crazy lag spike began. 20~30 seconds for key response. Then 2 disconnections wide apart, the last being 2 minutes away from the chest… And I lost it. Argh… A good waste of 3 hours grind…
Edit:
I realize it must have been hard on the servers and the staff, but I feel really disappointed and frustrated not to get any rewards while seeing people link theirs…

I think it went pretty well for such a short event with so little time to fix any bugs. Things went well most of the time.
Not that I’m apreciative of everything – I am one of the ones that got disconnected right at the end, and came back just to find a lack of rewards…
Maybe if it was more prolonged they would have had more time to fix the problems that went on.
