Guild Wars 2

I was really looking forward to this. Me and my buddy were grinding our little hearts out when time permitted in hopes of getting up to a proper level to contribute to the boss event, only to learn upon logging in an hour or so ago that the event was simply over. We were both under the impression that it was going to be a normal group event, and that “one time” simply referred to the fact that the event was for today only, not quite literally being “one time.”

I really didn’t know that we were supposed to camp out in-game until the one time boss spawned. I was having a normal day, with plans to take part in (read: likely die repeatedly) the boss event when it – I assumed – respawned in intervals like every other major boss. I’m incredibly disappointed to learn that my Sunday was supposed to be devoted to the event as opposed to enjoying it leisurely tonight when I had the time, as I’d done with the entirety of the game to this point.

I feel jilted out of the time and anticipation I put into this. Perhaps it was my fault for assuming “one time” was a buzzword, but I honestly feel that the entire structure of the event overall was haphazard and unfocused. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing in the new map aside from an infuriating jumping puzzle or two, and thought it would all culminate in a satisfying group event quest line today.

I was mistaken.
