Guild Wars 2

Could you please balance the Temple of Grenth’s defense part so it doesn’t have a CHAMPION Spider even though there’s only one player in the area?

Orr’s not exactly overflowing with people right now and soloing these events just doesn’t grant any rewards at all, or even when I happen to find a couple more lost souls in the map, it’s impossible to finish the chain because of this.

Temple of Melandru is well done, it doesn’t spawn a CHAMPION against a 1~5 players.

Could you please balance Grenth in the same way?

Thanks.

Not sure I agree with your argument. It is balanced. It just happens to be balanced for a group or more and not a single player. Personally, I feel your being highly unreasonable to sit here and demand they re balance it just for you because you failed in defending it recently while you were solo. Your request is extremely greedy and selfish to ask them to rebalance it simply so you can solo it, while ruining it as group content for the rest of us.

Take Temple of Melandru for example. If I recall correctly, it also had a Champion Spider even with less than 5 players in the area.

I remember failing the defense part a few times because of it.
Then, one day, I tried to do it again with less than 5 players and… no Champion Spider. Everyone managed to get their chests and had fun in the event.
Other times when there were 20+ players, Champion Spider pops up. Everyone works together, we still manage to complete the event. Everyone got what they wanted.

Now, Temple of Grenth.
If there’s 20 players, nice, everyone helps and we can take down a Champion Spider.
If there’s 5 players or less… we die, always.

This doesn’t seem very well balanced to me. Can’t I just grab a group of friends and attempt it? Do I need to keep spamming mapchat for 20 min or more until we get at least 10 players so we might have a better chance at it, while still increasing the event’s difficulty?

So if I suggest that I can very easily do ti with a group of friends and feel it is not challenging enough, should they add more champions to accommodate me specifically?

If you feel it takes more then one group (which I am more then fine with)then so what? There are tons of threads asking for content that requires several groups. Make friends and join a guild, then you can use it as a guild experience as we do.

I know I certainly do not want fun guild content destroyed because it is to hard for you to solo.

I’m not getting your point.

So, you say that it is a fun guild content. You bring in 20 players, you have fun.
I bring in 5 players, and fail miserably.

I’m asking it to be balanced for my group of 5 friends, just like Temple of Melandru. You say if they do that, it’ll destroy YOUR 20 player event fun.

Is that your logic?

It’s pretty simple, actually. No Champion Spider if less than 5 players in the event.
You’re bringing in your friends? Cool, you get your Champion Spider and still have fun.
I don’t bring as many friends? Cool, I don’t get the Champion Spider, I have fun and I don’t leave frustrated.

I disagree. I feel it should be content gated to more then one group. You may not like it, but that is how I feel about it.

It seems to me you just want content that is elite like raids in any other mmo. With your view on this only people who are in large guilds or play at prime time should enjoy open world events. On my server temples and world bosses are only done at reset and 2 of the temples usually not done are Balthazar and Grenth and the claw of jormag is skipped most of the time. I’ll never understand the need for people to want content that only a few can enjoy.

As it is easy to guest, I do not really care if your feel your server has population issues, even though I believe your server has plenty to do the encounter, but that it more of an issue that the culture of your server is to avoid it for whatever reason. The entire rest of the game should not be punished for it.

The rest of us should not be punished simply because the majority of your server simply avoids certain encounters. Seems to me it is more elitist to expect encounters be changed to meet your specific personal need then it is for me to request they be left alone to the vast masses who enjoy that they need more then your personal group.

How would you or anyone be punished with the change? The event would still be the same for your group/groups. Like I said you seem to want content that is elite. In response to your just go guest response most servers do the events at prime time or reset the only option would be guest from na servers to eu and that is not possible.

Yup, you got me, I am completely in favor of some encounters excluding small groups. Sorry if you dislike that. If I concede here, the next thing I will be fighting is the thread in which the OP will be crying fowl over Tequatl, demanding they make it kill able by his personal group. These encounters offer gear that we have limited access to, because they are only found in temples. Thus I feel that the encounter should reflect that in difficulty.

Tequatl is a Dragon. Those battles should require an ARMY to defeat them. But a Temple is just one undead priest and some minions. You are saying that an army is needed to beat the same boss type you find in a 5-man dungeon?

You can’t do Balthazar with one or two people either. These are the gods of death and war; they won’t relent so easily to a couple of mortals.

I don’t know what your server pop is, but surely there’re people in Lion’s Arch. Go there, tell people you’re going to start the event, and go start the event. People will start to show up as the preevents cycle through in the event timers. Having a commander tag helps, but is not required.

And?
Grenth is the god of darkness, ice, and death.

I beat Zhaitan in a 5 man dungeon too, whats your point?
