I have the 2 keys in my possession I need to get the 5 openings of the chest achievement, but nobody runs the tower anymore. I’m stuck at the last golem staring into the 3rd level. I’ve tried to run it, but end up getting overrun before I can even get halfway. I just get that bummed feeling that I’m going to miss out on the achievement when I’ve collected/done everything I can but have to rely on non-existent groups for the final part. The same with the Krait witches. Nobody is doing those anymore. Can’t even get a single person to do the blood witch. You could always get people for that even in normal Kessex days.

Yeah. Someone suggested guesting, but I hardly think flitting from server to server to find one with an active zerg in the tower to be all that effective. If this is on purpose, it’s an extremely bad game mechanic. I mean, they seem to be spending all their effort on gem-purchasable issues (Flamekissed armor, most recently) than the actual game itself.

As a player who has all the achievements I have no reason to return to the tower. I returned a few times for dailies but avoided the top where possible, for awhile I left my toon at the top, so it would be there when i logged in.

Players that haven’t gotten to the top or need to get there again will find mobs on the 3rd floor difficult (impossible?).

Guesting to other servers may help but there’s no guarantees, even on bigger PvE servers like JQ it’s pretty quiet nowadays.

Aside from getting lucky and finding a zerg/guild heading to the top, maybe try posting a lfg here or in game?

ANet need to offer incentives for people to return to the tower if they want to make group content like this.

A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”

Yeah all comes down to incentives. Put some exclusive skins that random drop in the tower. Put the deathmist ones in..

Skins (possibly minis and other items) are what is supposed to drive the game.. Anet has made normal drops a little interesting with champion bags but thats basically just money/luck/mats which is boring.. nothing to aim for bar achievements and once those are gone for most players we have what we have now.

The Tower is fun open world although certainly zergy (impossible to remove zerg from PvE) is also interesting in small groups but players still need incentives.

Another thing that would have helped with this kind of thing is initially have it per server but eventually just all servers on the one instance.. same goes with the dungeon at end. This does remove some of the “server identity” but at least gets people playing.

I went in on Tarnished Coast at 11 pm Eastern. No zerg, but enough people to get me back to the top despite the golem reset. I only died once, trying to solo run Level 3 and getting feared backwards once too many times.

I was on a support guardian with plenty of boons and shields. Then I hooked up with a glass cannon engineer and we pushed the rest of the way.

Try TC tomorrow evening.
