Likin’ this. A lot.
Mostly because Demi Beetlestone >>>>> Trahearne.
In general though, I really wish our decisions had more of a noticeable effect on the game world. =\
Gonna go with necro on this one. My main is a necro and I rolled a mesmer alt, but found it took way too long for mesmers to kill things. Probably cause I didn’t level it enough to enjoy “proper” mesmer gameplay. -shrug- Necros though, just tag every enemy around you, shoot down a well or two, and bam. My necro has a health-siphoning dagger build, too. It almost plays…vampiric assassin-y.
I rolled an ele alt and it made me feel so freakin squishy. Really frustrating. The micromanagement of skills bothered me, too.
I’m hoping that everyone who at least participated gets the accessory and the 20-slot, and people who got the chest but couldn’t loot it cause of crashing or being out of range could have those plus a special box with a random exotic in it, with a low chance of something higher? I dunno, I feel like that’s fair. I’m sure they have the information of who did what on their end, it’s just a pain in the kitten to look through all of it.
Just got this e-mail from support.
“Thanks again for your patience while we looked into your issue with the Lost Shores event. We have confirmed that we can provide everyone who did not have the opportunity to loot the chest with a reward for their participation. All affected players will receive a reward regardless of whether or not they have contacted Support. We’re working very hard on this, and you should have a reward in your in-game mail early next week.”
Combined with this week’s AMA, color me impressed, ANet. -slow clap-
Not getting my hopes up too much, but any bets as to what the reward’s gonna be?
Down to try again if anyone has space!
I wish I could look through the old feedback thread but here’s a summary from what I remember…
Some positive feedback from those who got precursors.
Negative feedback from basically everyone else.
The first two days of the event, there wasn’t enough guidance on what we were supposed to do. Bugs and glitches stopped lots of people from finishing the quest lines.
The last day of the event, so many players were on that the lag was pretty much gamebreaking. The fighting itself was incredibly monotonous, with OP bosses that just kept on respawning and respawning and respawning…
Then a pretty sizable – and I mean REALLY SIZABLE – portion of the players got DC’d during the last phase and were unable to log back in (some even got DC’d during the final movie sequence! What is that, seriously?), or otherwise died and were unable to loot the final chest because they were too far away…
Pros were that (out of those who actually did receive the loot) was that some of the loot as very good. The art direction during the event was great.
Though I’m really hoping for at least some sort of compensation. A lot of people -aren’t- happy right now.
The Ancient Karka was being pushed back into his cave when I died, so I tried to revive at a waypoint but the game stopped loading after like, 10 minutes. Then I couldn’t log-in for 2 hours and the event was over in just about every overflow instance =\
If anything besides the MASSIVE GAMEBREAKING-LAG and the DCs which robbed THOUSANDS OF PLAYERS’ of their time, I’m pretty upset at the deletion of the feedback thread. It makes it seem like they don’t care about their users at all. Which maybe they don’t, idk.
