Guild Wars 2

EDIT: Ok so apparantly this is working as intended and the event was beefed up to a group event with a daily reward chest. So lets get in there and show those centaurs who’s boss!

I have been doing this event multiple times now, and this event just seems unbeatable. There are just so many centaurs, dozens of veterans and a champ. They completely swarm the place and spam knockdowns/stun so much that no amount of stunbreakers/stability can even keep up.

The objective, apparantly, is to simply prevent the centaurs from capturing the targeted area. So just for the sake of trying this out I decided to take my pvt cantrip bunker ele. I know, not exactly meta, but it’s really good at staying alive, and killing the mobs didn’t seem to do anything anyway, they just respawn, even the ones with the crossed swords icon above their heads.

I managed to stay alive for quite a while until the “centaurs arrive in” timer ran out. Then all the centaurs just circled around the place in a continues stampede (similair to the ones in the Crown Pavilion) that immediately knock you back if you come into contact. How are we supposed to defeat that? You can’t keep your distance and use range attacks because as soon if you leave the targetted area the event fails within 5 seconds (because centaurs capture the square) and you can’t use melee attacks either because they immediately knock you back infinitely.

Seems like a really cheap way of forcing the next event (retake nebo terrace) to be available. Am I doing something wrong here?

Not sure what to tell you. I’ve done this event since the last patch and did not encounter this behavior. There were plenty of centaurs, but it did not look like your screenies. A bug with event scaling? Many (non-participating) players in w/ever area event scaling takes into account?

There were about 5 players present I think. Could indeed be a scaling bug.

The screens OP shared are close to what I’ve seen anytime I’ve been there for that event, regardless of whether a zerg-sized group was there or just three or four players.

I hit that event several times while leveling my NPE ele. I saw it succeed once. I remember telling my guildies there should be a T-shirt reward when it succeeds, emblazoned with the phrase: ‘I Survived Nebo Terrace’.

I don’t think I’ve ever failed that event. You have two people at each entrance to kill them as they enter, right (3 entry points)?

Maybe there’s a bug, because even with 6-8 people I don’t remember there being Champion mobs. I don’t even remember there being Veteran mobs quite honestly, just lots of trash mobs.

The event was beefed up in a recent patch. It’s now a full-on group event with a daily reward chest. It’s much, much harder than it was before the September patch.

“The Harathi centaurs and their allies have called in elite reinforcements and champions to assist them in capturing Nebo Terrace from the Seraph. "

In the beginning there are only trash mobs, but eventually a champ arrives with a bunch of veterans which run straight for the center, so you can’t keep them at the entrance. Or at least not the champ, I believe you can pull the vets though.

If there are more than 5 players there are even several elites, as you can see in Tachenon’s screenshot.

I see, interesting. Guess I’ll have to get some reinforcements of my own

Daaaang, sounds awesome actually. I need to check it out. If I’ve learned anything from the forums, if someone says something is impossible, it probably just means it is somewhat difficult.

Well, impossible with the amount of people usually there. If there are about 20-30 people there then yes, it would be a lot easier.

Imagine doing tequatl with 5 people ^^

Yup, impossible or not, I know what I’m doing tonight!

I’ve been at this event with large groups (20+). The amount of people won’t always matter.

I hope this event will become more popular over time. I won’t stop until I finally beat it, it’s a matter of honor now XD

Seriously, I’ve not seen this event succeed since the last patch. Only tried it about 3-4 times, but still.

That said, I hope the way this event was buffed is something that’s going to happen more often. There’s plenty of events that often don’t get done because of difficulty, but the addition of a daily rewards chest gives it some purpose. Another that might work for this would be Krait Witch, though I am not sure exactly what enhanced mechanics for an event like that would be.

Scaling for this event seems to be broken. Unless ANET decided to teach all zergers a lesson and had the centaurs zerg our butts into the ground.

Never seen this happen….but i’d be up for trying it out if there was such a T-Shirt…..

I managed to finally beat it, with a large zerg and some organisation

I think it’s scaling is bugged out. And yes I’m aware it was made a group event.
