Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know how often the Gates of Arah event happens? I play on Sorrows Furnace and i’ve been waiting a few days so I can access the karma-merchant.

Right now it’s very hard to open it up since the pre-events are somewhat bugged.

In order to open up Gates of Arah you need to start of at Meddler’s Waypoint and escort Warmaster Chan to Anchorage.

The problem is, immediately after he leaves camp, at the second wave, you have Risen Nobles who drop AOEs that do MASSIVE damage. Unfortunately I believe it’s an oversight by the devs and they buffed them way too much. If the NPC’s die too much, they lose morale and the chain has to start over.

It’s still possible to fight this – you just need a big enough zerg to kill those mobs/fear/cc them before they put down their AOEs.

It’s hard though to gather up a large enough zerg that is willing to wait for the event (which is only at a 10 minute timer)
