Guild Wars 2

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the Straits of Devastation there is an event where four pact NPC’s are down. Once you raise them, an event spawns where one of them is to fix their aircraft. Waves of Risen come. The event is on a slider as the NPC fixes the craft. Today, with just two of us doing the vent, each wave consisted of 2-3 mobs, with one of them usually being a Veteran. The next wave was spawning before the prior wave went down. It felt like the old Star Trek ToS episode with the crazy captain phasering wave after wave of Yangs, then the captain retreats and tells Kirk, “I killed hundreds, and still they came!”

The result was that eventually the vent got away from us. This might be an issue with the new scaling system (so many vets with big health bars take time to kill).

It’s always been like that. Something like wave of 3 mobs, 30s pause, wave of 3 mobs, 30s pause, veteran… until it’s complete. You only need to keep the 1 NPC alive to finish the event.
