Blaeys.3102 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 So, unless Im forgetting something, the only major world boss from season 1 (or pre season 1) missing is the Ancient Karka, the first real "Living World" major encounter they added. Seems like it would be a good candidate - with a little fight polish and balance - for the Winterstorm/Marionette/Battle for Lion's Arch treatment. Would personally love to see it. 12 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It would work well as a strike in the same way Forged worked since we had to fight our way to it in LA and then Southson. It doesn’t even need fitting into the story journal, it just can just be added to the EoTN scry pool. Once the LA section is done, it can auto port everyone to Southson to finish the fight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Why fight a mere ancient karka when there is a legendary karka queen? 😁 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 we already have the karka queen. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie.3184 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Ancient Karka battle was 1000% cooler than Karka Queen. We had to use unique strategies with the environment to lure it across the map to take down a literal invincible creature. IDK what other boss has ever existed with that kinda power. He deserves recognition and a super epic battle. XD Also it's the perfect time to add swimsuits to the game like they should have when Southsun was first released. 🙂 Edited November 10, 2022 by Doggie.3184 8 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy.2951 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) I was here when we fought the ancient karka (it was amazing). But maybe its just an overlap with karka queen, also karkas attacked Lions arch aswell if im not wrong. So..

And for some reason I always get stripped down to it when i'm in southsun, or some part of that map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadnir.5038 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 People have good memories of the ancient karka fight? My computer was running at approximately 1 frame every 3 seconds... And I crashed at least 3 time just on the final fight being kicked on an alternate map each time with the need to start over each time... That was the worst fight I experienced in GW2. Mind you, the whole scale of the event was amazing, pushing back the karka that were invading lion arch, then going to southsun, occupying the island inch by inch to finally reach the ancient karka lair resulting in a wild battle against this big thing that was running everywhere. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfat.2604 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 One of the most epic memories in GW2 for me. I think I played it 1.5 times (due to crashing or something). I still have my ancient karka shell in my bank. Would love to enjoy it once again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Southsun Cove's beachside resort, so to speak, with a bar and beach chairs, etc. 11 hours ago, Dadnir.5038 said: People have good memories of the ancient karka fight?

I loved the event. But yes, it put a huge strain on the game and our computers. The instances were swamped with people and I had the same frame rate problem. If they ever decide to reintroduce this event to the game, I hope that will no longer be a problem. I do hope the re-release of Season 1 shows ANet that people are still interested in the temporary content the game had in its first 2 years, though I'm personally disappointed that Canach was almost completely overlooked in this re-release. New players still won't know what his deal was and how he got involved with us in the first place, except through exposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty laggy but I enjoyed the fight and the concept. The game will run it a lot better now than back then. Current map metas nowadays probably have more people and enemies than that did.

It wasnt the fight itself that was bad, as you point out in your response - it was the lag and crashes resulting from ArenaNet still trying to get map populations right. Would love to see that fight - at the same grand scale - without the lag, which should be possible now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy.2951 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Its just about nostalgia, the quality of the core game or content released soon after launch is really bad compared to years later. I would focus on polishing old stuff and new content, than bringing more boring stuff back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roederich.2716 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Anet would need to invest weeks after its release again to tune and nerf everything until all the 2k dps 111 longbow rangers can just win with closed eyes against it and stop complaining then. i am happy when finally the next season starts instead.
