Guild Wars 2

I’m sorry but the posters who keep commenting on the ‘moaners’ or ‘haters’ seem to be missing the point. There would be much less complaining and much more praise for Anet had we been allowed to play the actual amazing content and ‘great Ancient Karka fights’ and join in on the ‘friendly appreciative chat’.

But you know what us thousands of oceanic players got? We go to sleep, we wake up (event started around here some time?), we go to work (it’s a Monday), we come back from work, we log in… We heard all about this ‘fantastic event’, loads of people got Ascended gear, and 20 slot bags, and even precursors!! Now, I know there are a lot of patient, tolerant, good folk out there, grats to them for their good character. But you know what I truly felt? Disappointment. I was disappointed by Anet and how they handled this ‘one time event’.

I don’t mind if there are some of these cool events, and I’ll suck it up and say ‘ok Anet can’t cater to everyone, fair enough, we still get awesome other content’. But you know what isn’t ok in my mind? That Anet makes this big deal about this amazing one time event that you absolutely shouldn’t miss out on, and then make it impossible for us to be there. And that they hand out some of the most expensive and hard to obtain items in the game, and loads of other goodies etc only to those who can actually make it, as though missing out on the event wasn’t bad enough. Then to hear about how you totally loved this just rubs the salt deeper into our wounds.
That’s how I feel and that’s why I’m posting.

Glad you had fun though.

A quick recap of the events thus far from my POV.

5. Sunday Evening – Final part of the event-chain begins with the opening of the cave. Despite 50+ players participating the players zerg gets repeatedly wiped by massive waves of spawning Karkras. Kind of fun though, despite hefty lag and low FPS.

But the event drags on and on for over 2 hours…as we kill wave upon wave of Karkras reinforcements. Very few of these mobs drop loot too, which makes it feel very unrewarding.

That is until the last phase of the event when we slay the Ancient Karkra and she drops a massive loot chest rewarding players with 3 exotics and 2 rare items. The market is suddenly flooded with Precursor weapons of all kind. Other players get away with barely 3 Gold worth of items.

The aftermaths can be observed here on the forums.

Sunday Evening is different depending on where you live. For any oceanic player, it meant coming online as soon as work was done in the late afternoon and asking the OP’s question. One time event done?? What happened??

Just because it wasn’t playable for you, it doesn’t mean it was the same for the majority. Those who play don’t come on the forums to complain.

I actually hope they do this more often. And the difficulty was just right, had multiple wipes but still managed. The length though made it kinda boring after the first hour, especially since a lot of the time was spent on the reinforcements.

Glad you had fun. Sucks I bought the same game but live on the other side of the world and therefore am not important enough for Anet to care about when it comes to the timing of these great events, yes let’s all “hope they do this more often”
…
…

Yeah, why not 24 hours?? I got home from work, and find this… Precursors, 20 slot bags, exotics given out, and not only the loot but missing out on all this epic ‘fight Ancient karka’ stuff, all because of where I live?? 24 hour event next time please Anet.

I’m on the lookout for different builds I could use, but the lack of build diversity means I’m having a hard time finding something I truly enjoy (like I did EA builds).

Extremely disappointed with this patch. Stacking might with Scepter/Dagger or Staff was a major way of contributing in dungeons, and helped when soloing (I’m talking PvE here, not concerned re: PvP/WvW). I felt we needed some more tweaking buff-wise to be at a good spot, yet they just nerfed our best trait and gave us… Conjured Weapon buffs?? They’re still not viable in their current implementation, and I really am hoping a future class patch is very close-by or I guess I’ll have to jump on the Warrior bandwagon.

Edit: And to add, the support staff aspect of dodging into water fields was also nerfed…
I understand where Anet is coming from, wanting us to ‘combo’ our fields with others’ blast finishers, fine. But if you take something critical away, you must fill that gap with something else, and Conjured Weapons was unfortunately not the way to go due to issues with being unable to change attunements etc etc.

So I thought I’d wait around for a fix, but us guildies have been trying to do AC Story Mode for a couple of days now with no success so here goes:

Which dungeon: Ascalonian Catacombs Story Mode

If you are joining through the pop-up dialogue or by walking up to the entry point: Both, however after initially joining through the pop-up dialogue, it doesn’t seem to work any more and we have to walk up to entry point

How many people in the party tried creating the instance: We all did. We relogged, changed characters, tried going in separately, together… Nothing worked.

Any other details you can provide: So what happens is that we can all enter the dungeon separately – in different dungeon instances to each other. This is pointless of course, but when we try entering together or after the initial ’we’re in different instances’ we can’t even enter it – alone or together. A lot of people on the Sea of Sorrows server have had this problem too, as we all stand around the entrance complaining :P

Thanks
