Since I was the one of the only ones(saw Zeshil on i think at least for part of it) on during the closing event i thought i'd talk briefly about it. It was called the "Hunger Royale" (aka Hunger Games). PvP with different skills. You have a limited number of rations (to restore health), bullets (for 4 attack skills), assasins cloak (for temporary invisibility) and mobile wall (puts up an energy wall in front of you to block attacks). When you kill someone they drop all their stuff and you can restock. Also you have a debuff from you hunger and are constantly losing a little health.
We went one round of 30min i think with no death penalty and you respawned. THEN we started the actual event and when you died you respawned as a companion robot (looks like the little guy from portal) and you can't attack but you can drop ammunition and put up a shield bubble over your teamate. We had 5 teams i think (i was on the green team). Team with the most at the end wins. even though it just kinda stopped at the end and i'm not sure who won...think red had 4 and green had 2 people left last i looked before it ended.
While it was fun, I did spend about 80% of the time either running to try and find someone, and then respawned as a companion droid. The map should've been smaller.
And after that they put down a couple Fun Boxes like in the previous Beta End Events with random buffs (turn you different colors, into different things like pig, slime, make you big or small, or give you fireworks to set off etc). And then a big announcement saying thank you before teh server shut down. I'll get some pics up soon.

Awesome pics Morg! BTW... I read somewhere that at the top of that jumping puzzle that only you completed, there was a chest filled with goodies somewhere up there!!!

Just a picture of my Asura and his pet bear. Couldn't think of a better name for my pet.. So I just came up with something random.  |

Nice! How did you find the ranger pets worked in this beta? I heard they tweaked them but I didn't play them much to find out.

They're much more improved in terms of responsiveness then the previous beta events. They no longer just sit there doing nothing when you're fighting some mobs. Although the pets do tend to die pretty fast, except the brown bear. The brown bear can easily tank up to three mobs maybe two levels higher then it no problem. All the other pets that I tamed seem to die after four to five hits from one mob.

Yeah G at the top was a man with a bunch of juvenile spiders (which i found out later that the only animals you can tame as a ranger are the juveniles) and a cave with a few guys in front of it that killed me in a couple seconds (they were 3-4 levels higher than i was at the time).

The swamp in the sylvari area looked AWESOME. The way the mist was in the background and the moss hanging from the trees, looked really cool.
