Guild Wars 2

So the mega server prevented my friend and I from getting credit on the Frozen maw mega event because all the nerd level 80’s killed everything so fast. It’s kinda not fair seeing how we need exp. and they just want their gold and loot. Cry if you want, but it’s removing my experience from the game.

You mean the Shaman himself, or the events required before you can take him on? The former was updated a few months back, so that he wouldn’t go down in the space of 5 seconds when there were a ton of participants, so he shouldn’t be going down so fast that you’d miss out on credit. If he is, that’s… weird.

I think the prerequisite events might still be excruciatingly quick to drop, though.

Do none of the sites that track world events work anymore?

i feel bad for low level players….it hard enough to tag enough mobs/do enough dmage to get champ drop/gold credit as a level 80 in thos megaserver blobs.

The last time I looked at guildwarstemple it tracked mega events fine (post patch)

The pre-events are a pain, but the Shaman himself should definitely last long enough for everyone to get credit.

You must try Fire Elemental then, dies in 20 seconds, really really O__o.

Not only you won’t be able to get any credit but you gonna have a hard time getting all the traits as well. Have fun! Blame those who “complained” that the maps were empty. Now they are not anymore. That’s what people wanted. They deserve that.

It’s too bad for new people. But it’s their fault for joining the game late. Quit if they want =)

Mike O’Brien likes big blobs of players doing the same thing. It’s too bad that the game systems handle such things poorly.

Shaman seems to hold up for a while, long enough for me to get credit (with my level 80 characters,) but I’ve given up trying to get credit for chunks of the event chain during peak hours. There aren’t a ton of grawl to go around even on off-hours, but right after daily reset?

Forgettaboutit.

I’d say Shaman has the most conspicuous scaling issues, or at least his event chain does. I prefer doing world bosses on less-populated hours, at the very least because that much going on seems to make the game client a little unstable, but it’s generally not too bad.

Yeah it kinda sucks. Did Karka Queen on my Necro and hit her from spawn to death nonstop and got no chest cuz there’s too many people. It’s just like when drops broke from Scarlet’s Knights during LS because so many people (50+) zerged them at once. Never fighting a world boss ever again on a non 100% zerker lvl 80 till its fixed.

If you have trouble getting event/kill credit with a ow lvl character, try to party up with some of the lvl 80ies because party member damage also counts towards your damage.
Ask nicely in map chat, if someone has a party spot or just self inv yourself to someones party and explain them the situation, if they accept your request. Usually it shouldnt be a problem to find a party. You can use the LFG tool as well.
