Not usually one to complain about new content but this has to be one of the worst designed outdoor events in a long time. Just miserably dull, a repetitive slog without any flavour whatsoever and entirely impossible to do without a solid group of people - which is no help since Zaralek already seems dead.

For those confused like I was, this is an event like The Hunt. It starts event starts at a set time and you must look at your map to see where the blue areas are and go there and complete the objectives. Currently it is bugged and you can't complete it, it stalls at one point or another.
