Guild Wars 2

I believe one of the devs stated that the meta for the queen was added to give people a reason to go to Southsun Cove. It’s still as dead as ever there since the meta is a pain to do without a zerg.

I suggest that once you claim a camp, it remains claimed for one hour. This gives adequate time for smaller groups to claim each camp and spawn the Queen. Once the queen has been defeated, of it players fail, all camps become contested.

Try it out for a couple weeks on a trial basis. The changes can be reverted if the results are not satisfactory.

On my server (Fort Aspenwood,) we usually see the queen spawned once a day so the world-boss zerg can get their bonus chest, so seems it’s working as intended there?

I’m not against it being a little easier though—but how big is a “smaller group?” It takes a fair number of players to take the lower two camps.

lol i didn’t even think southsun was still in the game, learn something new every day

Maybe a dozen or fewer. That’s why the hour capture time would help otherwise it’s impossible.

The problem I see with the Southsun meta is that the enemy spawns are scaled for the large mass of people that were there during the living story. A simple fix to this would be to have the amount/health of karka scale to the amount of people actually in the area (something that every other area seems to do).

Do this and people will feel like they can more reliably push the meta towards completed status (and hypothetically more people will flock there).
