Guild Wars 2 ‘The Lost Shores’ event begins today, here’s the weekend schedule

As most of you know, big changes are coming to the world of Tyria in Guild Wars 2 today. Following the release of a giant update which added the new Fractals of the Mists dungeon and a brand-new PvP map, comes the special Lost Shores weekend event.

The storyline of The Lost Shores event, which will be one-time only, is set to begin today at 12:00 pm PST (9:00 pm CET). We don't know what exactly will happen, but apparently the Karka, a monstrous new species bent on destruction, will rise from the depths of the Sea of Sorrows. Players will need to band together to defend the city of Lion Arch against strange invaders.

Tomorrow, November 17, at 12:00 pm PST, the event will continue. Players again will be tasked with retaking Lion's Arch from the Karka and even enter the lair of this mysterious creature. The new map, called the Southsun Cove, will be located on a lost island at the edge of the Sea of Sorrows and is filled with "wonder, danger, and exciting events."

Finally, on the last day, November 18 at 12:00 pm PST, you'll be able to take place in the final battle against the Ancient Karka. This is a one-time event that pits players against the fierce Karka on the new Southsun Cove map.
