Thanks for posting this Dryzzid.

Unfortunately, I didn't get home from being out of town until after tonight's event.

The event went rather quick but there were some very interesting aspects of it that really make it stick out in my mind.

Firstly, the story writing leading up to it. Often times at the EM events I have attended prior to Bennu, the first 15 minutes of the event was sitting and wading through DEWD text to find out what exactly the mission was. That was not the case with this event (and Bennu's prior event). There were stories posted, plenty of notification, etc. What I am trying to say is that we all knew what we were doing before we showed up. So the pre-event speech was short and we got down to the killing.

Secondly, the items dropped on the bosses all had to be turned in to the EM to continue the quest. So rushing to kill the boss wasn't the biggest priority. That is also because...

thirdly, the event item drops weren't on monsters. They were laying on the ground. That is awesome in my opinion. Some found their items by searching areas that were FAR away from where the actual objective bosses were. Seeing alternate distribution methods for EM items is a good thing in my mind.

And lastly, while the event itself was over rather quickly (30-45 minutes, if that), EM Bennu stayed at the EM hall for almost an hour afterward talking with players and answering their questions.

All in all, I was pretty impressed. Oh. I forgot, there were 3 simultaneous objectives so the HUGE group of people that would have caused paralyzing lag was split 3 ways, and lag wasn't really an issue

I didn't realize he'd left the area, I was distracted by people killing dryad spiders by the peninsula. I'll pop back by the place after the next event to see what ole' Bennu has to say.
