Ya I got slapped silly at the 2nd portal also. LB gaze doesn't work (even though they're torment critters), so I'm assuming LB title offers no added protection. Curious to see what the mish reward is, as this is pretty difficult with party size of 4, not sure it's worth the effort.
JeniM
ok apart from one noob yelling "I DID IT" at 5past, yea likely
Nobody has fineshed it in dis-1
They don't seem to bleed (for PEOPLE in costumes)
And guild chat is lagging by 30seconds

i would like to know if the reward is anything big before dedicating few hours to complete these missions... if it's just a bunch of victory tokens i'll just skip
JeniM

Just a guess, but I think the reward is just 50 Victory Tokens, since the whole event is just a slightly altered version of last year's.

Eehh, guys, the mission is really not that hard. Just make sure you take the Wraitfull Storms out first. We finished it some time ago with 2 prot monks and an assassin+Zhed. Zhed got 60% DP really soon and we didn't even bother ressing him. The monks just spammed prot spirit and the Assassin killed something every 10 seconds.
Make sure you don't fight more then 5 foes at once and watch out for patrols and pop-ups.
We feared that the mission was bugged, because we had 5/8 with only 2 portals left to close, but after closing another portal, we had closed 7/8.

I'm shocked ArenaNet hadn't listened to the massive complaints about the rewards for these mini-missions last year.

I know one else cares apart from me but Ive just got 100 consecutive wins in the Dragons Nest - No losses so far ^^

The fact that the mini-missions are so pointless and irrelevant creates an air of irony.

Free language lesson over for the day. We now return you to your regularly scheduled
fest of A-net special events.

I've been trying to get a good score on the roller beetle racing, but the top 100 is filled with 470k+ scores... it's insane. Best I could muster is a 460k. At least I got a bunch of gamer points and vic tokens. Can't wait for the finale... presents. =D
take_me
I would have loved to play Rollerbeatle or Dragon Arena, but with the lag (even in international districts) it's not possible.
But I just had a funny moment on nine rings:

Expansions are sold to most pay-to-play games, and the frequency and cost of this isn't relevant to the issue.
Carry on..

heh those grasps running around from the last finale is pretty sweet, better than when just a few were stuck last year....too bad we only got that 1 mask
HawkofStorms
Well, the grasps in most higher numbered districts were bugged (the score in several districts was players: 2, grasps: 960.) The quests were simply retempletes of last years. There were several inconsistancies (for example, the token collector mentioning that the event prizes were organized by Master Togo, who since this event happened after the events of NF and the rise of Kormir as the Goddess of Truth, Togo was dead for over 2 years and this was clearly an inacuraccy/mistake with the game's timeline).
People had so much lag that they couldn't even play rollerbeatle racing, one of my favorite things in this game (I wouldn't even load it, I would just get sent back to the town). There was so much lag during the finale that I had a ping of 77,000 ms (a 77 second ping!!!) and it crashed my computer.
With out a doubt, the WORST event a.net has ever slapped together.

I guess it's better than no event, but it is really laggy. It's so bad that you can't even do DA or RB racing. All the people afk'n on the 9 rings is probably one of the causes for all this lag. I think it's stupid to have an event if you can't even play the games smoothly.
Miss Persephone
The lag with this event is horrendous. I tried to participate in gathering celestial charges in shing jea, and its completely unplayable. There is lag worldwide, not just in shing jea. Rollerbeetle racing is completly out the question.
This makes me really concerned about the GW:EN release... are we going to experience similar issues then? How will ANet cope in GW2 with the new non-instanced areas?
Very disappointed GW fan here, and the loyalty I felt in the past to ANet is rapidly disappearing. Please, please sort this so I can keep playing what I believed until now to be the best online game around.

Horrendous laggage has been confirmed. It was better on Friday, though. Now, nearly every event is ungh, especially my fav, Dragon Arena.
countesscorpula
I thought you guys(a-net) had fixed the present sniping problem with the recent wintersday event. When presents dropped, they were assigned to players in the district. This was a pleasent change from the previous wintersday where some people picked up hundreds of presents, and others 2 or 3. Last Dragon Festival had the same present sniping issue as the first wintersday, and I figured you would have carried the new wintersday concept over.
Now, I'm not complaining that i didn't get enough gifts, I did fine (not hundreds... not even dozens, but fine). I did notice that some people were gathering huge numbers of presents, by grabbing them from the feet of others (who were probably suffering from the afformentioned lag issues). If the presents had been assigned, like explorable drops, or last wintersday, a 77 second ping would be a problem for no one. Instead we have opportunistic players taking advantage of the misfortune of others because a simple concept wasnt carried over from a previous event. I must say that I am very disappointed. I thought you were capable of better.

I too am quickly losing my trust in Anet for what they used to stand for. And my loyalty is starting to feel a bit pointless.
Only GW:EN will tell when it comes to how they want to end this model of the game. And God forbid GW2 having problems like this.

Personally I haven't been able to get through much in game since saturday due to the lag. Got into a district today just in time to get my mask, then proceeded to lag out during the mini-game. I liked the concept of a re-creation and in my opinion the units created for this purpose were well done. They were interesting enough for me at least to want re-do the quests and missions. In general however, although I'm happy Anet continues to put out festivals such as this one, I am a bit disapointed with the lack of changes, (was hoping for better mission rewards, a GW:EN tie in at the finale, etc.) and with the lag which seemed to cripple not only me, but a sizable portion of the playing population.
Saraphim
Huh... I'm glad I'm not the only one who was getting completely scuppered by lag. I tried the festival missions but by the time I'd rubber-banded backwards and forwards a couple of times I was dead anyway.
Taking part in the celestial charge gathering was just a complete no-no. Even if I managed to ;space a charge I couldn't go anywhere, and then err-7'd straight out again. I didn't even bother waiting around for the presents, no point.
