As the title suggest that's exactly what happen a big zerg train steamrolling across the lost shores. I know I'm very late on this but I didn't see a rush to put up this video. During it no one seemed to like it and it was pretty uninspiring. But I got messages not to exclude it so here it is.

The mobs in LS actually have anti-zerg mechanics. Karka cannon balls that down all the players around them for example.
Last night was the only time really that zerging PVE was actually fun. Once the zerg settles down it will be more like usual, but this is PVE, what more do you want.
I would say challenging for zergs, highly challenging for groups and very hard for soloplay.
People need to cooperate to get anywhere, thats what any mmo was missing, but then the naysayers call zerging uninspiring.
I had great fun doing those event chains on the island in small medium and larger groups.

Don't know a little more challenge in gameplay?
When you put so many people against a target, it would be easier to take it down but when you watch the vid. You'll notice that people were still dieing to the mobs even with the amount of people attacking it. So it's not that they don't have challenging gameplay, it's that more people were there to put things down.
I fought the Champion Karka with about 8-10 people, it was a death fest. And like I said, a zerg would get wiped by that thing.
Also, the guy who made the vid calls the event a zerg fest but, at the end of the vid, when he's faced with a challenge he turns tail and runs. I call that hypocritical.
This is not a game.
Yeah, I guess GW2 proved that having hundreds of people in a battle just reduces it to that.
I like the game, don't get me wrong, but these big battles, the dungeon experiences.... they just really didn't think those things through very well. I guess they were too busy trying to be "different."
Hey Zero you nubcake you realize i was trying to get somewhere not fight right? What would be the point of fighting 1 mob for 10 minutes when your trying to record a event? You can see me try to test the gun and ended up with the veteran karka. How about you post a vid of you soloing one. Then come on these forums and talk some smack. It's common sense to not fight a fight you know isn't in your favor. Normal mobs can kill in that zone veterans 1 shot you. And Champions barrel roll 20+ people to death. Ofcourse I'm not going to waste my time or viewers time fighting things I shouldn't.
It's called zerg to a new tommorrow because that is exactly what happen. We zerged open all the points in the map.
it was a zergfest...
but a zerg was needed to drop all those karka
I enjoyed myself
You never went to Lost Shores have you? Why would someone recording the event fight a veteran monster AWAY from the event? Those things take forever to kill and the loot isn't worth the time. Hun come out into the zone before you start judging people ignorance isn't pretty.
Oh stop it you know we can't have these things in a CORPG

I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.

Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.
I thought it was fun as hell. I had a group of 3 friends, and we kind of hovered around and ranged/ress'd. We're relatively lower levels so jumping directly into the mix wasn't working too well. We complained of the 'zerg' at first, but after a while there was just this weird flow of people working together to accomplish the tasks at hand. It was a very strange and fun experience we thought; get that a lot with this game.
And seeing 30-40 people get steamrolled by a giant rolling crab was friggin' worth the $60 alone...lol.
The battle was fun actually.
The only real thing they needed to make sure worked properly would be the rewards system at the end.
The drops were horrendous. Who in the world at level 80 needs a rare level 39 item???? seriously, a little code to make sure level 80 items dropped for level 80 toons wouldn't have hurt.
i found it quite fun....people were chating(the dead ones :P )and jokes with the word Kraka was all around for the whole 2 and half hours it laster :P even thought we were zerging it,it was the first time i actually saw such dedication to raising alies and trying to do a fight.Plus the whole idea of that ancient dude and hwo we actually killed him was quite good
it went something like this
Rig his cave with explosives.Find the boss.Atack it with enviroment(taking down a tree on it)keep fighting its adds(him being the big daddy and all he was calling for his kids)pushing him back to the riged cave.Survive the reinforsement part(which was the extreme but hey we were taking head on a patriarch of a speicies)keep atacking him with enviroment(geysers with rocks and those natural gas places)and eventually leading him to his nest to take him down and hold him till we blow the place up(and have him drown in lava) :P
the majority had lvl80 items as far as i know,we were even comparing them.
