I have to say, with phase 1 being botched so badly I really considered giving up on the entire event, then I had problems with the start of phase 2, but the boat was there so I decided to persevere and head over to the island just to check it out. It was fun there and the Skipping Stones jumping puzzle was excellent. Then came phase 3, which, with the problems of the previous two days, I was anticipating with some gentile apprehension. I have to say phase 3 was epic and, for me at least, makes up for the problems and frustration caused by phase 1 and to a lesser extent 2. Well done…it was a blast, I loved every minute of the 3 hours phase 3 took and I truly appreciate all the work that went in to making this possible.

I love teh jumping puzzles and this one looks awesome to me. I’m a small female asura…as small as the character creation would let me make her, so jumping on to a target is pretty easy, but I had the serious visibility issues, so I’ll try it again in a few days…no need to whine over it. It’s not like it’s limited time content like the clock puzzle.

I am frustrated and not finding this fun

No one can honestly say that they have not been frustrated or disappointed with any part of this event.

No-one is claiming that. Not even me.

My issue is with those who are claiming that the event is irredeemable, that it has no redeeming qualities. Those that think that the GW ‘Lost Shores’ discussion front page should be filled by 18 negative threads and 1 positive one (that was literally the ratio I last saw), and that this is a reasonable response. My issue is with those that pretend that the FotM dungeon & new map are but tiny footnotes to a litany of bugged events and lag-spikes.

No. It’s not like that. A lot of the content is fine and fun. People are acting incredibly entitled.

Well said, but I disagree on one small point, I do think the “event is irredeemable”, but just the event. For me, the more important thing is the permanent new content. While bugged now, most of it will be fixed in the coming days and add to the overall game. In reality…this is just an event…like any other event…unfortunately it was released with critical flaws that ruined it for many people, including me. I say it again though just to stress the fact it’s the permanent, new content and that is much more important here.

Loot/Drops from champion and veteran mobs

Dungeons may be improved, and I can’t complain about normal PvE drops. I’ve only noticed the item drop issue specifically with the Karka. I’ve gotten drops on small karka and other creatures on Lost Shore, all normal and blue, but not a single item from veterans (10+) or champions (3-4)…and for much of it I was running +20% magic find…I only switched to stronger armor when the group got smaller. In regular PvE veterans and champs always drop “something”.
