Guild Wars 2

This thread might belong in the suggestions forum, but I think it fits in with some of the recent discussion of the more difficult Orr events – especially escort missions. Another problem I’ve encountered is the lack of a [Group] tag on some of the pre-events. The most egregious for me is the start of “Gates of Arah” (Get Warmaster Chan to Shank Anchorage before the troops’ morale breaks). This is one of the escort missions that spawns 10-15 risen nobles on top of paper-thin NPCs, and fails if (or rather when) they die. When I was first running through cursed shore I attempted this by myself and barely escaped with my life – the pact didn’t last ten minutes.

I know this is a relatively minor issue, but while the devs are looking into the balance of Orr meta events, perhaps they can go through and reconsider some of the pre-events which really need the [Group] label. The Gates of Arah and the final Grenth pre are the ones that spring to mind – are there others you’ve run across?

Actually, the “Get Warmaster Chan to Shank Anchorage before the troops” morale breaks" is easier with like 1-4 people considering if you get any more than that, much more Risen nobles spawn to kill the pact, which makes the event even more harder.

It’s actually possible to solo this event by yourself, provided you have enough dps to kill the Risen nobles fast enough so they won’t do too much damage to the pact, and enough survivability to survive the Risen nobles attacks. My guardian with my greatsword has been able to do this event solo quite a couple times.
