Guild Wars 2

Saturday on Underworld. 22 on red, 36 on blue and 25 at green. Unless knights will be made to de-scale for smaller groups this is currently impossible on my server.

You can get into the final battle with her by equipping any level Spinal Blades back item.

You can get into the killing of the crippled Scarlet, but not actually face her huge hologram, which is the real last boss fight. This is how it finished by the way. Not a single knight down.

Yah, that part is a royal pain.

If people can’t beat the knights, what makes you think they’ll beat the holograms?

maybe you should do what some servers do with lower populations, pick one or two spawns a day and only do those. the one we chose hasn’t failed since the update and almost always ends up with 35-50 on each knight by the end of it.

Well having in mind that people that get trough knights witness being thrown to hologram fight overflows – hologram fight requires less than 150 people.

I just don’t get why this content can’t scale and de-scale. It’s not Tequatl or the 3 worms. It won’t stick around for forever. IT will stick around for about extra 3 weeks and that’s it. If you missed out, you missed out.

50 people per hologram stage, and its not really an overflow, theres 3 sections to the breachmaker

I’ve seen a group of 8 beat a hologram. The holograms actually scale, the knights do not.

Actually they do.

It takes much longer for 40 people to down a Knight than it takes 20 people, due to it having much higher health when there are 40 people nearby.

There are low populated servers.

There are medium populated servers.

There are high populated servers.

Then there’s guesting .

That’s not what I just witnessed. Gandara just now only managed to kill one knight and the failed ones had maybe 30 people on them.

Before this last change, I’d not seen Gandara fail the knights, even at 2am in the morning. The zerg would normally kill each knight in about 3 minutes. And now a group of 30 people didn’t manage to kill one the entire event. So how can you say they’re scaling properly?

I am glad I finished the Scarlet story before yesterday’s patch. After the patch, it was 7 tries 7 fails.

Yep. Because the knights are the only thing that changed. I was impressed with the Hologram prime fight because it was a fight that we lost as often as we won. It was just right. I did it about 6 times before the patch, lost a few and won a few.

The first couple were a mess, and a glitch with the ultraviolets ruined another, but the other two went pretty smooth. There was always a little sweat over triple holograms, and Ultraviolets got a little hectic, but it was a REALLY well put together fight.

And now my server can’t down Knights. Event done. gg.

Need to guest on server that do this event then problem solved

The holograms are way easier than the knights. More mechanics, but less DPS check. It’s the DPS check that kills most of these.

If you have to guest to complete this event then the problem is with the event.

Or guest to blackgate and get into an overflow. I’ve done it a few times in overflow now.

I was lucky to get in there and kill scarlet before Anet made it impossible. Sadly, a lot of my friends won’t make it. I sometimes stand there and watch them try and fail….what a great laugh.

This happens with most new content. If you don’t do it the first day or 2 when everyone else is doing it to get their achievements, then you may not be able to do it at all. Many players just stop doing the content once they get the achievements and go on to something else and then there are just not enough people left to do it.

Ugh, just guest to a server that does it all the time and has it on farm by now, what’s the big deal ? does it really have to be your home server for you to feel that you beat it ?

Guesting is your best friend use it.

As one who played and enjoyed Guild Wars 1 for years, I can only say that events like this guarantee that I will end my Guild Wars 2 play as soon as ANY other MMO makes it possible once again for a single player and small groups to fully enjoy it. This should be called Zerg Wars, not Guild Wars 2.

If you are on an NA server, just guest on the Tarnished Coast server. Every group I’ve been has beaten the knights and the primes without any problem (both main LA map and overflow).

“You’re on the wrong server” shouldn’t be the answer.
