It was four of the worst hours I've spent in Guild Wars 2 thus far.

More Isn't Always Merrier

And these crowds further made it difficult to appreciate the story Arena Net was trying to tell. When you corner a conspirator to discover the truth, but you do it alongside 50 other characters, all crammed into his bedroom like some fantasy world clown car, it kills the mood. Instances aren't always a bad thing.

I killed this karka and all I got was this lousy earring.
Which all leads to the big finale. I have the utmost respect for how Arena Net puts drama, action, and storytelling into its open worlds. But the battles against the karka on South sun Shoals were a misbegotten spectacle of epic mis proportion. I was there for four hours on Sunday afternoon, and it was four of the worst hours I've spent in Guild Wars 2 thus far, because I knew what Arena Net was trying to do. I could tell how it was supposed to go, and so I was keenly aware of how it wasn't going. The lag was so bad that I finally just rejiggered my Necromancer, a character I've built as an unholy debuff machine, as a summoner class. I called in four under pets, put my ranged staff attack on auto attack, and followed the swarm as best as I could. It got to the point where I would press the button to use an ability, and it would take 30 seconds before it actually activated. I have never seen anything so bad in Guild Wars 2.

Release The Unwashed Masses!

Furthermore, Arena Net chose to coincide the Lost Shores event with a free trial weekend -- which would've been much less of a big deal if the event was restricted to higher character levels. It wasn't, so anyone who wanted to participate had his or her character boosted to the level cap. This isn't unprecedented -- the larger-scale player-vs-player battles do this, and it's a great way to open to everyone something traditionally reserved for endgame content. So although the battle against the karka was a level 80 event, there were plenty of people in there playing newer characters.   buy guild wars 2 gold
