Here's the final phase of the Lost Shores event weekend in Southsun Cove. Ultimate goal was to take down the Ancient Karka. The event chain took us 2 hours and 12 minutes to complete. Except for the final minutes, this video is presented at 200% speed (audio is speeded up without affecting pitch). I recorded the entire event, but some bits have been left out in this upload. Mostly footage of me running back into action after defeat and teleport.

I went to this event with unfamiliar traits and tool belt skills (support-wannabe engineer). When soloing, i usually run around with rifle, grenades, flamethrower and tool kit, so i'm definitely out of my comfort zone here. I did my best :)

Actions fired ok this time, but culling was bad. I'll just quote a poster on the official GW2 forums (Phy.2913):
"What went wrong is that 40+ people run up a ramp, die, THEN see the champ and 9 vets standing ontop of them."

Culling (as described by ArenaNet): "We currently use server-side report culling to limit the number of characters that any given game client is aware of. By limiting the number of characters that we report to any given client we also limit the bandwidth used (by the server and the client) and avoid situations where the client is overwhelmed by the number of characters that need to be processed and rendered."

A bit insane upload to be honest. You have to be a masochist or a true GW2 fan if you actually watch this all. Or perhaps you missed the event chain completely and you want to see what it was all about (answer: lots of zerging).
