Guild Wars 2

Please scale low level group events down if there is only a few players around. As a level 24 engineer with toughness, vitality and some power behind me, vitality trait line on 10 and working on toughness and healing power trait line…also carrying elixir gun kit for the extra heal I still get two shotted by these over powered champion mobs in starter zones (granted not all but the tomb in ashford with the caster for example…my god).

Why? Because for some reason these encounters are designed to need more people to revive me WHEN I go down (not if) instead of actually rewarding skillful playing. Making a champion mob one or two shot a pretty much full defense specced player is ludicrous, especially when I am the only person there.

Now I know it’s a GROUP event but surely everyone knows by now that some zones are just dead, or people don’t even want to do group events as they are not even worth their time (according to them). So why punish people that actually want to do it with poor scaling and cheap mechanics? Please do something about it. Even if the solution is to give people a reason to do group events again and not just in low level areas either (this would solve two problems instead of one).

30 gold says u will never get the fix u desire.

there are not going to bother fixing the bugs or old content or even new ones. We never got the scavenger hunt during the Lost shores.

Yeah, the krait witch champion in Caledon Forest is just as bad with one-shots, plus she’s got ridiculous range.

ANet is working on making low-level content more appealing to high level players, so that should help the issue of not having enough people around. Honestly, I like having waypoints cost money, but the way they’ve set the scale it’s really hard for high-level players to want to do low / mid level zones.

They are fixing bugs, though. Bug-fixing is a slow process, and the games only been out a few months. That’s what we get for being early adopters.

Very true. I hope they do make lower level zones more appealing to everyone because I am somewhat of a completionist, I see an event and like to get it done. Not gonna happen if there is only me there or some others who never seem to bother reviving people who are downed because it lowers their DPS -.-

I just have to leave group events because there is no group to do them with, example “laughing gull island” it is annoying as i like to complete also, it doesn’t matter what lvl i will always go back to see if i can do them, just need to find ppl to do them with.
