Event was fairly frustrating, Way too early for such a huge area, for at least me, Two days and to try to find GMs. We had screenshots, and I wasted a lot of time because I started from deep in the mountains still doing story quests. Perhaps there are a lot of players done with the story if they no lifed it, but I did a lot of sailing content. I ran around for about 45 min not able to find anyone, and then gave up. I was slowly running to the next quest I had, and noticed a white Pegu by a bridge, and the waterfall I was seeing looked nothing like the one I was seeing in the screenshot. Though they said Etsu was the easiest one to find, I ran by chance toward that area and sure enough they were there! I took quite a few SS so it was tough to choose, but I liked this one the best.
Then I was just running down the road toward that quest, and I saw this long stair way going up a hill and decided to go up to see what it was, and I saw Corruption there! They were on thier way out and they were kind enough to hang around to let me get a few SS.
I apparently was one of the lucky ones that managed to find them, as I saw in chat there was quite a few frustrateed individuals. Not sure if it had to do with render distance, as well as lack of familiarity, but I tried to give them hints last minute. I actually thought one of the screenshots was then on top of the big tiger rock and while walking around I slipped off and fell to my death. lol
Looking back now it was pretty cool when I managed to find them. I really like that crew of folks, and the new area in general. I am playing the story in Korean with English dubs and I am flat out amazed. Well done BDO team!
