I wholeheartedly agree with your message. I was there at the time the event occurred, but I unfortunately suffered from crash issues throughout – with the last one occurring a few minutes before the final boss encounter, resulting in me missing the chest. I too stumbled across the topic with open overflows, but I was still plagued by crash issues. Time and time again players kept putting their name out there to get people into servers that were running the event. While my efforts were cut short by the eventual patch, I was so appreciative of how the community came together.
Thank you everyone for an experience I will never forget.
GW1 had 24 hour events that occurred every 3 hours. I don’t see why they couldn’t do the same with these types of events.
I got in but crashed…Argh!
So…since there appears to be no further investigation sequences, I assume it’s now safe to delete the Phase 1 items (i.e. the 2 maps and the soggy bag)?
We have a team looking into disconnection problems that prevented some people from receiving their event rewards.
We will update you as soon as we have more information available.
Thank you, and we apologize that you were unable to claim your rewards.

Thank you, ArenaNet! We really appreciate your looking into this.
People need to stop raging and cursing now. All we can do is wait.
Glad to see they’re looking into doing something about it. But it may be difficult to do. For example, I crashed at the last wave of reinforcements (the 2 champion karkas) and actually had to restart my system. This is a bit different from those who crashed right at the very end (though both myself and those who DC’d at the end were unable to find an overflow that had not finished).
I don’t have my hopes up for them to be able to do anything about my situation, but at least they’re doing something I suppose.
I’m not sure what you’re saying. Having 2 days to complete something makes it a disaster?
Yes, the loot from Lost Shores has an actual impact on gameplay. But many people were unable to attend the event due to timezone constraints or the length of the event. Additionally, many people who actually participated in the event were left with nothing due to crashes and disconnects throughout it.
There’s no issue with drops that actually have an impact on gameplay. I think that’s preferable to a cosmetic item in most instances. But there’s no reason they can’t have it be an event that occurs multiple times during the day, and they could just restrict it to once per character or account (in terms of rewards, not participating). There could also be diminishing returns for those who do it more than once for those who do have the time or ability to dedicate more time to the event.
As a long time GW1 player and now a GW2 player, I’ve experienced my fair share of events in the world of Guild Wars. Some of my fondest memories in GW1 were participating in the holiday events. The Halloween event last month was also fun.
But to have a 3 hour dynamic event in which people were having crash issues, and to have a major crash issue (where many, many people DC’d) at the very end of the event is not my (or I assume anyone’s) idea of a fun time. Additionally, many people do not have time to participate in an event for 3 hours straight, particularly due to differences in time zone.
So if I were to sum up my suggestion it would be this:
1. Have shorter events (i.e. not 3 hours)
2. Have repeatable events as was done in GW1 and at the end of the Halloween event
3. Have some sort of middling reward system (i.e. just a hat isn’t very much, but 2 exotics which may be precursors, a 20 slot box, and a unique back piece is a bit much)
Thanks for listening to feedback. I’m a longtime fan of ArenaNet and I hope to continue being one.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever been this angry at a game before. Waste almost 3 hours with an event to get absolutely nothing. I could deal with the bugs, as they extended them, etc to make up for it. But now I miss the chest at the end (meaning I miss precursors, exotics, 20 slot boxes, etc…basically 100g+). I don’t even know what to do with myself right now.
Nothing on Sorrow’s Furnace either.
You only have to know where Noll is by noon PST. You’ll then be able to do the rest once they fix him.
So that would mean doing all the investigation events up to Noll?
The Largos does not seem to exist anymore for the dynamic event to even occur, and Noll (despite being there from what I can tell) does not start his event chain. From what I’m reading, the Largos is supposed to have already been fixed. Supposedly Noll will be fixed this evening, but we have to have both chains done by noon PST (in about 1 hour). How the heck are we supposed to finish them in time?
Thanks. Trying to get in game right now, but the update is taking forever.
