Why is this event so frequent? I’ve only recently started running this dungeon but about 60% of the time I want to do it I can’t get in because it’s contested. And if I form a group saying “need opener” people just disregard it and join anyway which leaves us all unable to enter and I have to disband the group.
Having contested areas is a feature of the game, I understand this, but when I have to relog and fish for a server where the entrance isn’t contested something is wrong. Either reduce the frequency of the event or allow players to enter the dungeon regardless of whether the waypoint is contested or not. This is an incredibly irritating issue.
It stays open for 2 hours. Just finish it yourself and it’ll stay open for your entire CoE set.
If you can’t finish CoE in two hours, you have bigger problems than a few baby events and a champ that is a complete pushover to duo.
This is something anet should address but won’t because it annoys players and makes it slightly harder to do dungeon farming.
Use gw2state.com, usually someone is willing to guest and open the dungeon, if you absolutely don’t want to do the events.
THIS is an extremely helpful tool to let you know which servers to guest on for contested dungeons or temples.
