Event end

Surging Current: Well done. But our work continues. Collect yourselves for a moment.

Notes

Bug:

The Weather Conductor achievement is currently bugged as once it fails on a specific map instance, it will not reset for future events unless the event itself fails. Your best bet for that achievement is thus to join a fresh map instance and participate to the first event of that instance - see this forum post for a full walkthrough.
