Guild Wars 2

When will developer get it that open world group event without reward is a fail. No one wants to do them.

with a screen name like that nobody will take you seriously

^ that made me lol

Perhaps the OP could furnish some examples? Last time I looked, every meta event is an open world group event.

So according to your original post, you’re only talking about the the group events without rewards. Since every group event has rewards in the form of karma and experience and gold, I would say that you should perhaps learn to write. Maybe you meant every group event without a daily chest? See, an answer would have been better than a personal attack. Because then I might have agreed to a degree. Now I’m going to point out that there are MANY group events in this game that do get done and many that don’t get done. So saying EVERY group event is basically broken or undoable is not true.

For one thing, I can, if I wish solo most group events, except for a few view kittenes (krait witch, etc). Oh, or did you mean the group events in Orr? Maybe you forgot that bit.

Their are group events throughout the world that are done quiet regularly. The wolfmaster in Wayfarer foothills is a group event that’s often posted on the map. Several of the group events in Queensdale are posted regularly. There’s a group event near where T’quatl spawns that is done almost all the time. And I do see other group events getting done…maybe it’s your server too?

But because I ask for clarification doesn’t mean I don’t know how to read. What you said in your OP is simply ignoring that every event does reward you, though not equally. Thanks for taking what might have been a more interesting conversation and making it combative.

All open world group events (that I have seen) have rewards.

since its event, u expected some exp and karma already, so by reward you generally expect ppl to know chests. I don’t say it was impossible or not, and even if its soloable, it just takes too long thakittens not worth it.

Open world group events also, generally, generate greater mob density and spawn rate. This means more drops per minute of play. More drops means more mats/coin. Participating in some of these events means a higher rate of income generation than much other open world content.

If you meant a lack of chests, well yes, you are correct. But chests are not the only form of rewards in the game.

Some people pay for the challenge. Some for rewards. It’s not worth it TO YOU.

Queensdale´s Troll has none. But I fear it´s intentional, otherwise the bots would camp this thing 24/7.
Also sometimes ANet is sneaky and you have to stand around a bit for the chest as the event continues afterwards. But people usually explode away when the kill is finished.

To alleviate OP´s problem some time ago we supposedly had a “loot fix”, so champs at least would have something worthwhile on them.
Still getting mainly blues(whites even) from them though.

Champions post-fix should drop “at least a blue.” So, yeah, you’ll mostly get blues from them. Whites may be a sign of DR, or indications of a bug, if you get a lot of them send screen shots to Anet.

Getting a blue is an insult.

IMO, they should drop a crate that guarantees a green and one more that is green or better. Once a day per champion of course, so no camping the same one over and over again.

I do wish there were more group events which have world/bonus chest, especially ones which have multiple chains leading up to the finale, such as the one in Wayfarer’s at the top of the map. I don’t recall the name of it, but you have to lead two groups to attack a Svanir base. That one could have easily been made a world event, for example.

Troll is one example which shouldn’t be made a world event, as it’s a standalone group event.

Amen. +1 Why can’t some people get this? Just because something is important to you doesn’t mean it is important to everyone.

Or you could just take it on for the challenge. I drop everything if someone shouts out group challenge in map, particularly if there is a champ.

Hell I take great pleasure in taking on group events, I’ll even solo them. Gives a great sense of accomplishment to take down a champion without any sort of assistance. I judge my build effectiveness based on this.

As others have also mentioned, it also leads to a greater array of coinage from loots from the many trash mobs that are associated with some. Or stand alone champs that are just fun to beat on anyways.

Veterans just don’t pose a threat.
