Guild Wars 2

Just to start with I honestly DO like the event, this kind of event is why I’ve been playing GW2 since day 1 and the event certainly for fills a lack of challenging server wide events that are re playable and involves some kind of strategy rather then auto attacks galore.

I just want to know is the event scaled to the amount of people in the area actually trying to do the event each time, while keeping it a challenge? because I’m from Devona’s Rest so that already means we have less people doing it then high pop servers, and on top of that since the event started and we just haven’t had numbers to do it with, every fail makes huge groups stop trying. Regardless of strategy if we only have around 20-40 people it’s not even an event to fight the dragon it’s just ’don’t get over run and die 2013’ because the same amount of risen seem to attack regardless of how many people we have on..

Attached is a screenshot of about how many we’ve had on the last couple trys

I dont know if scaling alone wont do the thing – and seeing your screenshot your server is is event poorer than mine (dzagonur).
outdated events like karka queen, orr temples or sometimes even getting a group for any ini is not easy on lower servers. and no guesting cant be the answer…
gw2 slowly turns into any random mmo.

You will need at least 80 because that is where the scaling starts at I believe. however you will probably need close to 150+ in order to actually beat him.

I do hope they scale it down in difficulty for smaller groups. Mobs should still hit hard but the number of mobs should decrease in comparison to the group fighting. They should cap the number of 15+ players. I don’t want to see a group of 5 take him down. But if you have a organized group of 10 or 15 should be able to kill him.

yea! seriously if the only way people can finish the event on lower population servers is by guesting higher population servers then there’s something seriously wrong with the event. It’s seems to be forcing lower pop servers who don’t have muliple massive WvW guilds who can fill in big numbers in the event into guesting which is effecting other server communities =\

I completely agree as well I’d hate to see groups of 5 people finish the event but if a group of like 40 people is all a server can muster a times (and btw this is with people shouting for numbers on the chat and putting in a solid effort) and we can’t even make a dent in him because we need at least another 40 people to even stand a chance, Then something is broken.

Yeah they said it was meant for a minimum of 80 but I would be surprised if that few can do it. Even banking on 80 to show up will be asking for a lot, 2 weeks later.

That picture is the perfect example of what I am talking about. People on servers like Blackgate are hating on low populated servers for guesting there. But look at our situation, we want to have fun too. But we will never ever be able to down it without help or without proper scaling.

Asking for a min of 80 to show up now is like wishful thinking, that’s like peak hour, all WvW guilds on at the time pulling out for the event+ everyone else who is still willing to try it for a chance to make a dent in this event.

OR begging for help from higher populated servers on the slim chance they’ll help, because if we guest on there servers it’s shame on us for trying to have some fun as well. =\

If they can’t scale it for low populated servers because there set on 80 people min challenge at least remove the kitten timer on it then or extend it based on the servers population or how many people online at the time or anything! to even it out
