Guild Wars 2

Hi all,
I’m sorry if the subject has already been posted but i could not find it anywhere.
Here is my problem:
After 20’ waiting, the dredge commissar did not pop. Not a surprise considering that all players where waiting in front of the door and no one to do the pre events.
I decided to do the pre events then. I was alone. i asked help at map a first time, a second time, a third time. No one answered but a mesmer to make a tp to make it faster. Pre event done. Commi pop. The mesmer failed his tp. The time i run to Commi, he was dead already. i’m glad having done the pre event all alone for ten minutes not to even touch the boss. Now i won’t make any pre events for a while, be sure of that. Arenanet, can you please make it pop a little later after pre events? Or give him more HP please? I’m sure i’m not the only one in that case….

They need to give a buff to players that complete the pre-events and then make it so that ONLY buffed players can receive a reward from bosses.

You can’t prevent leeching outside of instanced content. This is how it is. 3 years and counting.

One option they can add to all world bosses that have pre-events leading up to the final boss is add invulnerable mobs in the area were the bosses are, which can kill anyone in 2 shots for afking or waiting for him.

This would create more problems than it would solve. Pre-events are standard mobs. Any group of 10 or more would wind up with people unable to get credit for doing them.

They need to give you time to get back. Everything else is needlessly complicated.

Commissar needs two things:

1) More Health.
2) More time between the Pre-Events and the spawning of The Main Event.

This is a lot simpler than the idea of the buffs as mentioned above I think.

Add a timed defense event where he spawns. That gives people doing the pre time to get there. It might also prevent people from standing there afk, as I feel like (a small part of) the reason for this is that nobody knows when he will spawn and they don’t want to miss it. A big orange circle and flag on the map warns everyone that he’s coming up soon.

That’s an interesting idea, but what about people who don’t know it’s happening, and happen to wander into it as it’s starting. Or are just in time to make it to the start? They would be denied any chance because that didn’t happen to be there earlier? That’s not really the design concept for the game.

It would be better to build in a more sizable time gap so that pre events have plenty of time to reach the main event.

I agree with penelopehannibal. I don’t ask for a buff to players who do pre event, nor a malus for players who don’t. Too complicated and it would be unfair sometimes. Just give more time for us to arrive to the Commissar! I think this would encourage people to particpate more in pre events, as i guess among the leechers, half are lazy, half are just afraid not to come back in time…
