I don’t see why they don’t just take the end event chest “code” – move it to Lion’s Den and give everyone who is on their selected list of DC’d people and provide them one weekend to click on the dang chest and be done with it. This way we get what we get…
What it sounds like IMO is they are going to send out 1 item to each person – prob the 20 slot bag…. based on the email above. If that’s the case – then I say Thank You for your efforts, but it was a fail.
Anyway – I have my fingers crossed that they live up to the community expectations… BUT I have a feeling there will be “hate” posts in our near future.
I’ll be selling “I participated in the Lost Shores Event and all I got was two screws and this lousy T-Shirt” T-Shirts in the near future….
I was not in a party – but I wasn’t aware that I really needed to be – till after the drop and /map chat started talking about it… So it’s true that being in a group keeps you tagged to a server? This is good to know for future events…
I was one of the unfortunate players the got booted on the last leg of the main event this past Sunday. It burns. I know most go for the gear and loot – That’s always nice, but I actually enjoyed the event and played for the experience of it.
I’ve played many games and this was a new experience. Some say it was grind, but to see everyone work together reminded me of the days of DAoC Trials (which was also very controversial)… Though back then I was on Mordred so you had pvp happening while trying to complete the event… which if you’re that type of player that enjoys chaos in pvp – it was a great time.
Anyway – getting booted did ruin the end of the event. It will go down as one of the highlights remembered in future after spending that much time working through the event. However, as the topic title states – this event really opened my eyes to the Achilles’ heel of having overflow servers. Drops happen – it’s the nature of gaming… maybe not “mass” drops – but it is what it is. The biggest problem I had was not getting back to the server I was on… That was the kicker…
I really hope safety nets are put in place for future events. If it’s required that you are grouped to stay locked in a server, then let us know that. If a person drops, then maybe there’s a way to save that slot for that character for x amount of time…
Overall GW2 is a great game, though the QA team really needs to take some time and look at why so many bugs released with this patch of code. It shouldn’t have been this buggy.
Just my two cents.
Just saw this topic – entering my post here:
I’m sure there have been a few posts about this. Appologize, but I have to say this has been a big disappointment. I don’t have much time to play – but I have really enjoyed this game thus far. I put time aside for this weekend’s event and was pretty stoked that my family gave me the weekend to do so.
Anyway – to cut to the chase, I spent 2 plus hours working with a large group of people to battle the main event only to get the ancient to the enterance of it’s nest before being dropped out of the game. This happens from time to time, I understand. But to not be able to get back onto the server I was on to complete the event… that was the biggest slap in the face.
I have to be honest. I never write on forums – only read. But I have no course of action but to express my disappointment. I’m sure there is nothing that can be done… I doubt I will ever take time out in the future for a world event on this game again unless safety nets are put in place for this to not happen again.
Seriously disappointed….
