Guild Wars 2

“The spectacular one-time world event is now live! Unravel a monstrous mystery and defend Tyria from a formidable new threat – the karka! You’ll face brand-new creatures, earn cool new rewards, discover a brand-new island map, explore the new Fractals of the Mists dungeon, and more! This weekend event, which culminates in an epic showdown at 12:00 PM Noon PST on November 18, lasts until 10:00 PM PST on November 18.”

Even though I missed the main event, I spent much of my time explaining this entry to people in the game. They thought the showdown was to start at Noon AND LAST until 10pm pst I had to explain that it didn’t mean the main event was to last 10 hours. I can understand their frustrations at the misinterpretation of the event times.

Personally, IRL took me away from the event. Should I get compensation for missing the event? Nope. I had to make a choice and I did. But with the statement above, I could have had 10 hours to “fight” this epic battle. 10 hours would have allowed me the option of attending the event. I could see why many people misunderstood and feel cheated of the event, and the loot from that event.

The best solution would have been a clearer statement that the main fight was X,Y Z and is part of the whole event. You make it for this fight at X,Y Z and you can experience the final battle. The whole Lost Shores event continues until 10 PM PST to allow you to complete minor events, such as commendation badges, etc.

Just my thoughts
