More damage done with the horrid loot table.
I only did the event once as I thought that’s what it was, ONE-TIME only..NOPE.
bump again…..
Very true…a scale of rewards ranging from 5g at most to 100+g is just out of order on a one-time event…or at all for those big gathered world wide events.
The TP is not in any way a good way to measure precursor numbers..for a good number of reasons, like listing costs and those holding onto them waiting for prices to go back up.

It’s just a pity we were not REWARDED as one, to put it in a way that is easy to understand…
Everyone is standing over the corpse of the ancient karka, minds going numb from the insane battles that took 2+ hours, unable to focus on them because of the loading in Champion Karkas that give almost the entire group the most feared move in GW2 history “The flying Karka Teabag” and MORE, but they did it. The chest spawns and they get their rewards they worked so hard for, the unique perma account bound ring, the 20 slot box, some get exotics they can’t even use but for a moment it doesn’t matter, they had a fun battle. Then all of a sudden one player gets Dawn, the others thing “Wow, that’s pretty lucky..”, then another and another and another until the chat is getting flooded with it. Those who didn’t get it are feeling pretty left out as all these people got it. Then, just to kick them in the face someone pipes up and asks “I got one too, what’s so good about it”, that player with the “upscaled” arrow that just turns out to be a trial account just got a precursor too, compared to someone who may well be in the left out bunch that has sold their soul to Zommaros trying to get one.
You see the problem here?
The reward table was just so badly messed up.
I want to add this out there.
I love the way the community tried to come together and help others get to the event. I understand some still were not able to do it even with the help. But regardless this community was far from selfish. So many wonderful players tried and helped others get to an over flow where 5-6 hours later they could do the event.
Thanks goes to them, as well as A-net having the overflow to allow us a chance at it. This a community of great players willing to help each other! It says a lot about the player base.
As rough as this event was; it had a lot of good. For every bad there is a silver lining. The players for me this weekend were the silver lining at the end.
My hats off to them.

I can see what you are saying here and really agree with it, everyone banded together as one and fought one crazy battle, no matter how hard it got we picked each other up and went on.

This event has been a disaster thanks to the end chest. A massive wedge has split the community now and it isn’t going to heal easily.
anyonw know anything yet?
The chain involving the Map Fragment was extended into Phase 2 which is now over.
Additionally, the chain which occurs after you have received a Map of Southsun Cove was not extended:
“This quest chain was not extended into phase 2 and its content has been removed once phase 2 has started.”
Yeah it’s the map of southsun cove I had sorry, I derped making the title.
last bump for now.
Halo fans getting a familiar feeling when the champion drops on them..
You go to Hanto trading post in Caledon Forest, talk to Noll which will start an event. After you defeat him and the guards you talk to him again and you will get a letter in the mail. After that you go to Garenhoff in the south east of Kessex near the wizard’s tower. Talk to Canach and defeat him then head back to Ellen Kiel in LA who will give you a jug of karam. The End.
Noll takes 5 minutes to reset so you might have to stand around for a while until he resets. Canach seems to have a shorter timer but I don’t know what it is. You don’t have to be the person to start either event but you do need to deal some damage to them to count as participating in the event.
Yeah we’ve done all that and got the map fragment, phase one is COMPLETED on our end, it’s what comes with the map fragment now that is making me wonder now we are on phase 3, nothing was used in phase 2 of it.
Dear reds, or anyone that knows…hello?
This lottery has cursed the player base :/
Any devs?????
Yeah….I hope it’s worth it.
lol ^ ^ bet if you got a precursor you would be saying differently lets be real. You want the rewards but no one else to have it. People who got the precursors got lucky this time around, maybe one day it’ll be your turn
You don’t get it, the difference in rewards for players went to unseen levels because of the presence in precursors coming out of the chest in large ammounts. That should not happen. Even in GW1 the rare minis were kept at a respectable drop rate, this is not on.
Either everyone gets one or keep the lottery for normal game play.
The map fragment we got in phase 1 and were told to ensure we got..what do we do with it now?
My main issue is the precursors.
We all took part in a grueling 2+ hours, why not ensure we all get some same scale of rewards, precursors are a HUGE difference and it is not fun hearing people getting them in mass ammounts while you are one of the unlucky ones getting none. Any other item wouldn’t have been so bad but precursors are a major mistake.
This was a terrible idea allowing so many precursors to pop out, those of us who got jack are NOT happy :/
Server performance and the lottery in the chest at the end dampered it ALOT. I’m all for nice rewards for putting Legendary Precursors in the end chest is a huge mistake, some people getting 2, some getting none.
It realllllly rustles jimmies, either ensure everyone gets at least one or keep the drop rate consistent with what it was, a LOT more people are getting them so much it seems half the server just got access to the big time while the rest were dusted.
I have it, I just don’t know what to DO with it.
See topic, the scavenger hunt with the map fragment we were made sure to get…I don’t see any indication of where to use it.
2 inherent problems with this.
1. Other people and terrain screw with your view so hard during this.
2. Swiftness, and the fact people love using it around you..
It appears Lifetime Survivor is bugged as monthly was at first, only with more unclear things that cause it.
I got to about 150k survivor without dying or even going downed, all of a sudden after a string of mapping and logging out it somewhere seems to have just stopped again. What is causing it this time…..
