This is really irritating. It would be fine to gate the stupid dungeon if there were always a lot of people around Mount Maelstrom, but there aren’t. The event requires a decent number of people and people not running the dungeon basically have zero incentive to help kill this guy because they get next to no reward. Either ease this guy up a little or let dungeon parties guest into each other’s servers to try to work it together. I’ve been in two groups today that couldn’t find a server where CoE was open.
5 people is enough. Make sure you all spread out. If someone is having trouble surviving him 1v1 then they should probably re-check their build/skill level as a player, and CoE is most likely not for them anyway.
The problem lies having everyone on the same server. Often though you’d at least have two people from the same server and its possible with only 2 people:
The blue circle marks the waypoint, the red skulls represent where the coil commander can spawn and how he moves. One player can camp next to the waypoint while the other moves around to greet the commander.

Yeah, something like 3-4 people. How will you ever get that many people to enter a dungeon??!?
Yeah, those of us who use the LFG tool, i.e. the best way to get together a group, often form groups across servers, which means we can’t all just get together and do the event. Thanks for the snarky kitten response though.
I dont go to that area because there is always a Asura spamming my headset telling me “It only funny to fail if you try” or something to that effect. Most annoying thing ever. It literally makes me not go to that area.
definitely possible with 2 people. and i think it’s almost easier with less people.
earlier on, the first couple times i unlocked the dungeon, there were way too any people and everyone would just chase wherever he showed up. i even map chatted people telling a few to stay on certain platforms (the ones he showed up on) and no one would listen. :/// until only a few did. and personally thanked them for helping out.
now it’s the opposite. no one ever doing this pre-event.

Implying people who run dungeons are all on the same server.
The people I run CoE with are all on the same server so we don’t have this problem, but I can see how rediculous it is to have a dungeon gated to a point where one person can’t unlock it if they want to. Why can’t you?
