The difference is that now people know what is a stake and will prepare, will stop the permanent downloads they have eating most of bandwidth, arrange their personal agenda to be present, defragment the pc, update the pc drivers, run only the game and close the other 20 windows open in a multitude of different pages pumping flash adverts.
And how will that make Anets servers more stable?
The problem wasn’t with people’s pc’s, it was Anet servers that weren’t able to handle the tremendous load of all these people logging on and doing the event. The fact that I spend 2.5 hours trying to log on is enough prove of this.
If you are unable to participate due to hardware/software issues of your own, then it’s you’re own kitten fault! keep your system up to date, simple.
However loads of people, myself included, were unable to participate due to Anet’s infrastructure not being up to the task. A rerrun of the event wont change this, the ammount of strain on the servers will be to much again.
Only solution are timed (1 every few hours) reruns and only 1 chance to open the chest.
Like many people, I was disconnected right before the end and therefore was unable to get the chest.
However, ANet have logs of who was taking part in the final event. So it would make sense to compile a list of these accounts and make an NPC in LA to hand out unclaimed rewards.
Since the chest had unique values, it should be easy to find the logs of those who already looted the chest and so block them from being able to interact with the NPC or claim further rewards.
Im hoping this is what is being done
ANd what about the people (like me) that weren’t able to log on to the servers during the event?! I spend 2.5 hours trying to logon and never even got at the charracter select screen. Are we not to be helped? I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one unable to logon at all…
happend to me to.
tried to logon for 2.5 hours then just gave up on it.
The lack of Anet response on these issues is just sad tbh.
Hello all,
Can we just stop complaining about the last event?
Lets ask for 1 more replay at a set time and thats it. Enough. Now people know where the event starts and what to do. Even if people crash, thats bad luck and lets not speak again about it. Move forward.Thanks and best regards,

The whole problem with this failure of an event was that there was only 1 run at 1 set time in wich you could participate only 1ce.
How can you call it bad luck/whining when:
- people dc due to servers unable to handle load
- people can’t log back in after a dc
- people (like me) spend 2.5 hours trying to log on and couldn’t get access
- entire servers went down prior to the end of phase 3
You are suggesting to solve this problem by making the same mistake all over again…
2nd this AN please ignore the QQers some people will never be happy no mater what you give them.
MM, let’s see
I spend 4-5 hours standing next to bugged NPC’s in phase 1-2
I spend 2.5 hours trying to LOG ON to have a chance to do phase 3. Precursors, exotics, rares, 20 slot bags, unique shell item, … Couldn’t get any because
- Servers are crap and couldn’t handle it
- People in Asia, Oceanic TZ, … got kittend over
The good new is that I’m pretty sure Anet just made it’s playerbase a bit smaller.
But hey, people will complain about everything right? Wonder how you would feel when you are trying to logon to a game for 2.5 hours only to hear your guildmates on Skype talk about the epic loot they got and you DID NOT.
Couldn’t agree more.
The first 2 phases were filled with bugged out NPC’s (Stood next to Noll for like 3-4 hours just waiting for that mofo to move), the 3th phase was…
Well, I wouldn’t be able to tell you how it was because I spend 2.5 hours TRYING TO LOG ON. From 21.30 to 23.00 I tried to log on to the game, meanwhile on skype with guildmembers. Finaly I hear that 7 of them got precursors, 20 slots lootbags, exotics, rares, …
And I was stuck behind my pc raging my kitten off.
Unless Anet comes out big with excuses and a way for the people that got kittened by their crappy servers/lag management/… I’m seriously thinking of just deïnstalling this game and throwing it in the “doesn’t care about customers” bin.
