Guild Wars 2

Have to say this was some of the most fun I have had yet. Challenging but fun.

Took about 5 hours before I got to the top.

I understand some people probably won’t be able to do this for various reasons but still very very cool.

Only complaint is it would be nice for stuff like this if everyone was the same model. Maybe everyone does it as a skeleton or something. Large characters make it very hard to see where you are. Camera angle was a bit annoying at a couple spots but manageable.

I think a lot of people were going into this first event with the I WANT to do and get everything idea. (this isn’t a bad thing, just unrealistic) We also had no way of knowing. We had to find this out once the event started. People are going to be disappointed when they realize that they won’t be able to get everything from this event. This is understandable since most people won’t have the time or money or luck to get some or any of the weapons and black lion chest skins.

Everything boils down to peoples expectations. This could have been avoided with a little more information being provided from arena net. Simply saying as part of the update info and announcements that the items in the BL chests are going to be fairly rare and that some the weapons are going to take a significant amount of time to craft, would have given people REALISTIC expectations of just what they might be able to get.

I am all for the "wait and see… " and “it’s a surprise” but finding out that a certain skin they want is going to be super super hard to obtain is not a fun surprise.

Something that might make everyone feel a little bit better about the event is saying something like “there will be a holiday item everyone can get if you do this” like they festival hats in GW1. Another nice gesture that would go a long way is for people to get a few black lion keys as event rewards. Most people won’t get a cool skin but at least everyone would have a chance at one.
