I enjoyed this event battle too, even with all the death (Lost count of the number of times I died), lag and being disconnected once.
The battle was well thought out and doable. At several points though I was sorely tempted to just give up and go to bed. Glad I stuck with it, mainly out of being curious as to what would happen at the end and what the rewards would be. Btw I did not get anything exceptional or really useful except an exotic short bow (Which I don’t use on my Thief, I use Knives/sword and pistols) and a piece of exotic armour that I transmuted for mats. All in all I think I came out of this about even after paying for repairs.
I lost count but I know I spent almost 1g on repairs and ’porting.
I know of one person in the instance I was in who missed looting the chest. Just before the Boss died he got hurled into the lava pit. Boss died, player was still dead in the Lava Pit and couldn’t get out, thus missed the chest. I felt extreemly bad for him. Also the chest seemed to be on a very short timer and dissappeared quickly.
I am not even going to attempt ‘phase 2’ quests. I am too annoyed at not being able to complete ‘phase 1’ quests because of bugs.
Nothing happend in LA on my server… We were alle waiting for 40 minuts, and nothing, then we got a mail about going to the island. I did the events there, but it ended really suddenly, with no reward or anything… A guy built a bridge, then they built a camp, and that was it :S
This is what happened to me too, although there was a brief (5min) firefight after the catapult was completed which rewarded a small amount of Karma & XP. No reward after helping the guy build the bridge and camp on the island.
I just want to say first off, A-net I love you to death for making this game. This is the first MMO I have ever stuck around in long enough to get to max level. I play almost every day for many hours. I really do enjoy this game a ton. That said, this event has been the first time in this game that I have not had fun. When the LA events spawn the lag just goes through the roof, I can not hear or see anything, the amount of bugs is just frustrating.
As I type this my character is standing watching people attack over and over the giant Karka boss, his life goes to about 50% then resgens back to full health. Now this could be a bug or perhaps it is players not understanding what in the world to do. Which brings me to another point, the events this weekend are very confusing it seems to be unclear what needs to be done in order to progress to the next part. I know I am not the only one who feels this way, many people have complained in map chat about this.
Perhaps the lost shores needed a bit more testing before putting into the game. maybe this is good reason to invest in a test server? I really do not know, I am just frustrated, I was really looking forward to this event, but am truly disappointed with it. Again I know I am not the only one. I am not going to sit here and cry fowl or rage quit, Just sharing my experience thus far. Like I said, I love this game and have no plans on leaving any time soon. Just wanted to express how I felt about this weekends events. Which by the way, this is the first time I have ever posted about something like this in any forum.
This sums it up for me so far. I cancelled plans I had this weekend to take part in these events. 1st one wasn’t too bad, pretty much what I expected (including the lag) but the huge repair bill from constantly getting killed hurt and I was a little annoyed at the lack of reward. Tonight (the 2nd event) was extreemly disappointing. 30mins standing around watching the catapult get built and then a 5min firefight (again no reward apart from minor karma and xp). The quests I have not been able to complete (Or even start) because of bugged or missing npc’s.
Overall, this has NOT been fun or enjoyable for me. Others may have had better ‘Luck’ I don’t know. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will have at least a little fun on the final event. I am not optimistic though.
