Guild Wars 2

Did ANet change the reqs for this meta event? It seems like the assault on the temple will trigger if one invasion force makes it to the rally point instead of all 3. I am just curious, because if it is indeed this way, I guess that was the solution due to one of the 3 chains always bugging out and thus breaking the entire chain to take Balth’s temple.

Nope, even with 1 invasion it was working and bugging all the same.

Oh, because before it would always say one of these 4 and since another invasion force was bugged, the event didn’t progress…

“Reinforcements from the central invasion have arrived at the Pact rally point. Pact forces are awaiting additional reinforcements from the northern invasion.”

“Reinforcements from the northern invasion have arrived at the Pact rally point. Pact forces are awaiting additional reinforcements from the southern invasion.”

“Reinforcements from the central and northern invasions have arrived at the Pact rally point. Pact forces are awaiting additional reinforcements from the southern invasion.”

“Reinforcements from the northern and southern invasion have arrived at the Pact rally point. Pact forces are awaiting additional reinforcements from the central invasion.”

Now, I rarely see those messages and only see one of the escorts happen before the main assault takes place. I’m not complaining, just weird. Not that it maters, we apparently have difficulty defeating Balthazar on JQ.

I’ve attempted the assault on temple of balthazar/altar of betrayal/cathedral of glorious victory (those are essentially the same, right?) 3 times in a row today, after the southern reinforcements had arrived.

The assault failed every time because pact morale drops to zero before we reach the temple.
It’s not clear what we (group of some 6 to 8 players) are doing wrong. Several waves of risen spawn at several points along the way, we kill them as quickly as possible, and then the mission fails.

The event chain is designed for 50+ players. It’s pretty much impossible with less than 30, no matter how organized they are.

It scales Ive done it with 15 before. The extra champion doesnt spawn depending on how many people are there.

On Jade Quarry, the pact group is just standing there not moving
