Guild Wars 2

the map is abandoned, we harder to gather like 10 people willing to to do this
after we meet the priest, he just 1-shot fireball on everyone. and the event failed

whats the point of this ? even lupicus cannot 1 shot me

I’ve won the event once before, but even then it bugged. It is a hard fight, and very sensitive.

I heard someplace, Crystal Desert perhaps it was, had the temple open yesterday.

The whole event is a mess.

First you have to babysit some low level npcs who give up the first time a Risen looks at them. Not only are they weak so you have to have lots of people babysitting them but because of event scaling if you have too many people it becomes impossible to stop them from running off too. And tot top it all off you have to hope the event doesn’t bug out.

Second the fight against the priest is unbalanced. He could be on the other side of the temple with a zerg around him then all of a sudden he teleports to you killing you and healing him self. Then those aoes he puts on the floor that can kill you in seconds but most of the time don’t bother to render and the waypoint doesn’t become uncontested so to run back you have to run through the risen army that you fought through to get there in the first place with all their CC.

If that wasn’t enough to put you off in the first place then the only reason to unlock the temple was to get that material for legendaries but that can be got from fractals now.

I’ve seen it opened fairly often on Ehmry Bay. ‘Fairly often,’ here, means twice in the last four days

Ferg crossing, medium pop server, banded together after the last server reset and opened the temple. It really is a good time to do it. Once they announce the reset, goto cursed shore and lions arch and get people to go right to the events when they log in. Best way to avoid bugged event to. Point being, even the lowest pop servers can still get the temple open.

There’s a ongoing topic on the dynamic events forums where people post when they get the temple open. I suggest you keep an eye on the topic.

What I’ve noticed is that since the changes to healing (limited to 5, prioritizes players over NPCs, pets, etc) it is nearly impossible to keep the pact members alive on the march to the temple (from the Rally Point). 3 or 4 times in a row yesterday I attempted this DE with 7-8 other players and the whole group was dead before we got a few hundred yards from the start (the first trigger point where 3 successive waves of risen come at you).

There were a few times I rolled into where the friendlies were, hit my shout heals and saw players getting healed for ~200 and shortly after 1 or 2 Pact NPCs bit the dust.

I have seen maybe 4-6 instances where temples (not including the Narthex, that is) were open in the last week. That does not mean 4-6 times that all temples were open or 4-6 times for each temple, but 4-6 total.

This is what happens when you introduce new content that inherently invalidates previous content.

Orr is a pretty lonely place these days shakes fist at FotM

We had the temple open on Dragonbrand this afternoon.
