I just got sent into the Scarlet Holo fight with about ten people. We never got past the first phase (although we did at least get down to 10% or so). They need to do a better job of balancing out the number of people in each instance of the event, and if they can’t fit more than ten people in one of them, then those ten need to be able to escape to a more viable instance. It’s just cruel to allow people to bang futility against an event they stand no chance of completing because of numbers alone.

Each knight has its own teleporter which leads to its own platform. If you only see a few people around your teleporter, run to the last knight killed, since it usually has the most.

That. Its why you see people telling others NOT to leave the area if their knight dies first unless another knight is really struggling. Ideally, you want to keep your group in-tact so you have a good number of players to fight the hologram.

Yeah, but that’s a poor way to do it. At bare minimum they should allow you to move from instance to instance if yours is under-populated.

You should know beforehand if your platform is under populated unless you didn’t participate in the knight events. Even if you go in and see that it’s under populated, you still have a few minutes to leave and try a different platform. The portals last for something like 5 minutes.

They do?! That needs to be better conveyed in the game! I was under the impression that if you left your platform you’d be out for good. Hell, if I’d known that I could easilly have WPed to the one near the red portal and hopped in.
