Awesome! I'm so glad that someone managed to capture this video because I was wondering if something like this would happen but sadly wasn't able to stay up! It's nice to see what the Meridian looked like when it fired❤️❤️❤️

Will everyone get to witness the wall coming down (instanced event), or just the lucky ones?

You'll need to activate the Meridian Lens to trigger it.

Oooh! So It will actually come down? I was expecting it to remain in place even after zone story ended, like I suspect World Events for the zone will remain. I though it would just stay breached... Nice surprise it actually coming down.

I can't remember for sure, but wasn't the finale of a major movie series pretty much exactly this?

Sorry, but when I saw the event announcement I just cringed. Surely paid devs could have come up with something more original.

So Phase two is exactly the same thing as one? Running around doing camps, again?

It does come down. I didn't find the effect spectacular, but it's gone afterwards.

The whole Wall seems to consist of different effect layers plus a "physical" one actually blocking the mountain pass (you can actually walk right into them).

Using the Lens is basically the switch that deactivates them, technically. Or at least that's the impression I got.

If you're on pc, there's a new world boss west of the main camp, at the shore (for consoles, this has been delayed until update 48 - November 12). Then, the next stage of the event's main story quest is enabled (Azah has a bit of new dialogue), although it's not much. And a few crafting quests have changed, so you cook food instead of sewing pants now. But it doesn't make a big difference, from my point of view. So the main thing phase 2 added is the world boss. And phase 3 will add a dungeon. That one is interesting, at least.

yeah, seems so. incredibly boring. the first time got old fast, and now it seems we're doing it all over again

ZOS had to manually toggle the start right? XBox NA reached 100% late in the evening and nothing happened for a while.

Yeah. The big huge highlight of phase 2 was a world boss invading. But they couldn't even get that right for half their players. All they said was "it's not ideal" Super cool understatement, though not the community managers fault.
