Guild Wars 2

So for the final fight, there are three distinct platforms.
Each player is sent on a different one, no matter where you enter (blue / green or red area).
The players repartition is just awfull. I think that the first one is filled, then the others. Or whatever, anyway, most of the time i’m on a platform with 20-25 players only.
The event does not scale at all, so it can’t be done with so few players (most of the time, reading channel map, only one platform manages to easily kill the boss).

For the unlucky players, it’s just a waste of time, fighting 30 minutes for nothing.

Why this final fight is so badly designed ?
Why 3 platforms ?
Why such a poor players repartition ?
Why the event is not able to scale ?

It is related to the area you enter in, actually. Each knight has its own teleporter to scarlet, and each teleporter leads you to a separate platform for the hologram fight.

Which is why you shouldn’t leave your knight and go to other areas unless the other knights are really struggling, because that just shortchanges the people who stay at the original area.

Pretty sure green knight goes nw platform, blue knight ne, and red south. If a platform fills, they are sent to another. At issue seems to be when one knight is killed well before the others, people swarm to other knights entering that portal. Original knight killed first is left short handed.

If you have 150 players, it will work out ok. If yo have say 30-30-30 and 15 left to kill another knight, good luck…..

The issue arises when you have, say, a 30-30-30 distribution at the Knight fights and 2 go down, and then people rush to help the 3rd. Problem is, now you’ve got 50 at the last knight, and only 20 at each of the other 2. Now everyone enters the portal and the distribution is off.

while i agree that having players split up when you enter the platform is quite silly, the majority of times when people go to help kill the knights in different areas leaving the few that entered the platform a bit thin… having 15 – 30 players for the holo fight is quite enough. i’ve yet to fail a holo fight, i’ve entered the instance with 15 – 30 we have always won the fight against the holo.

edit: although it does suck to be stuck in with a few people, you can easily get out of the platform you’ve entered and run your butt off to the platforms that entered with more people. if you’re lucky you’ll go in with those people if, not then you’ll enter the same instance with those few people that you first entered with.
