So I was just doing my thing exploring/leveling in Snowden Drifts and I happen upon a Dynamic Event and it was eerily similar to an example I was giving about how more DE’s should be.
Basically Dredge were assaulting this Norn Town/hub sending the usual waves of weak enemies (like most DE’s). Suddenly a veteran dredge mining suit comes with a wave, and start walking around spawning Dredge Turrets that were sieging me and 1-2 other people doing the event.
And you know what? It was actually kinda/sorta challenging (not faceroll atleast) and a little more interesting than the normal tab spam, spam aoe, spam 1 sort of deal.
Afterwards it immediately chained into going to the dredge cave and destroying the cave supports which resulted in the cave collapsing and spewing us out of the cave which left a giant wall of rock blocking the cave (which you could still climb over).
It was dynamic, it changed the world a bit, and it wasn’t the same old spawn wave of mobs, aoe down, spawn wave of mobs, aoe down. It was fun.
Anyway, great job on that one Anet and I hope more end up like it.
Here’s a quote of my post so you can see how similar the event was to my suggestion, it’s like the game is reading my mind.
Find some a DE chain with Dredge sieging a town not just throwing waves of weak mobs, but some infantry with a couple Veteran mobs running around buffing everyone with auras. More players show up, suddenly Dredge Turrets start popping up all around the town, people trying to kill off the Veteran Aura mobs before mobs become too strong, another chunk of people go and try to take out the turrets laying siege to the players. Suddenly a Champion mob comes in and tries to wipe out the main friendly NPC. In the end we barely manage to kill it and get some good Karma/xp close to that of 70-80 zone rewards.
