I’ve heard that Memorials on the Pyre doesn’t scale, unlike the other living story instances and content (Molten Facility, all of Southsun, Braham/Rox’s dungeons).

I was wondering if this was intentional or not?

EDIT: I’m apparently wrong, according to rfdarko’s post, you do scale! Hooray!

I’m going to try on my level 10 necro regardless. :P

You do get upscaled. Did it on my lvl 35 guardian, died once towards the very end when a vet and his minions killed all the Npcs, but it wasn’t to bad over all. Probably wouldn’t try it less then level 10 though.

You do? Good to know! Thanks for the correction.

I keep a low level alt around to try stuff like this, to make sure I’m not lying when I say on the wiki that it can be done.

Yeah, if it’s repeatable. I’ll try on one of my low levels too. It’s nice to try for a challenge. (And to try to tell those thakittens impossible that it isn’t, like some were saying for the Canach solo dungeon.)

People need to remember that you might get lvled up to 80, but your gear is still lower level so you will have a harder time if you try these instances with lower level toons.

Lvl 80 content is designed for lvl 80 toons.

Well Anet shouldn’t level you up to level 80 if it’s not going to help you in instances. Rather they should just scale according to your level, especially since they are making you solo Ceremony and Acrimony. What’s the point in maxing you to level 80 when you’re a low level. It doesn’t help that much..

I was able to complete the solo Ceremony and Acrimony instance with a low level character (lvl 7); however, it was very difficult as I just started the game not even a week ago for the first time. The veterans nearly killed me each time and I had to lure them back and have assistance from the NPCs. I finally managed to run past most of them and had one follow me at a time, picking them off. No easy task, so I would say that the instance should scale with your current character otherwise, all new content that ANet releases seems that newbies will get frustrated with and essentially not play as much as the developers want them to. Thoughts on this?

I generally agree. I tend to feel like I’m missing out at least on the enjoyment of some of these missions/content simply because I’m newer to the game and don’t have a level 80 I can take through this stuff. While I’m glad they’re allowing us access, the experience definitely isn’t one that I feel I’m getting the full enjoyment out of. I do think I would much prefer it if the events scaled to me, but also realise this may not be possible.

I’ll get there in the end!

There’s a scaling of difficulty in the really early levels that goes beyond numbers, and it has to do with mob mechanics. Before around level 10 or so, the mobs presented in the open world will not hard chain cc you, even at melee range, because they know players are still learning how to use dodge and combat in a more proactive way. The mobs in these living story events have numbers that dynamically scale, but their mechanics are based on +10 level difficulty (similar to ettins and trolls). If this is your first time playing, I would advise reaching level 15 or 20, and practicing on groups of ettins, kiting and dodging. Unless your starting the game right at the end of the event, you shouldn’t have any problems getting to 15 before the end.

I did it on my 30 Ranger, it wasn’t too bad. I did get scaled up, though the fight with the boss was a bit tough. I wasn’t paying attention and died, ran back and kicked his tail~ xP

Hoopa doopa.

I rolled a new alt and did it before I even made it to level two. Then I took off all my armor, picked up a plank from the ground and did it three more times while wearing an eye patch and using my mouse with my left hand.
