Guild Wars 2

Now that the chests drop better loot, the Maw event on my server (probably all of them) is being camped. Why not, it restarts every 30 minutes, and you get a rare. Switch toons and you get another rare. The issue I see with it, is that “guesting” has brought in an influx of players and with over 60 people camping the maw, the entire event lasts less than 4 minutes. The shaman goes down in about 30 seconds and you are lucky to get a hit in, especially thanks to the lag. I will only mention the insane lag at the dragons, cause that has been covered in another thread. I didn’t see one for this issue. I gave up on the Gathering Storm events. Just as bad. By the time someone mentions it in chat and you get there, the crowd has demolished it.

It’s not guesting it’s the 100x more people doing them from your own server because of the rewards.

Maw definitely needs scaling. Secondary vets and champions, as well as some phases where the Shaman becomes invulnerable, would be a marked improvement just in making the fight interesting.

That said, I think guesting does need some alterations if not specifically for this event.
