Bladed/Verdant Brink t4 impossible
Every time I do TD it goes T4, but I play during NA hours.
I think you’re just unlucky with maps.. I do T4 very often, even with patriarch bugged, in EU servers.. Try found a non-rep guild that organize for it
Do you use LFG to get to a populated map? Most of the time, if they’re doing the meta, it’ll be listed in LFG. Other maps are around just doing hero point trains, or just casual playing of events.
You can get to the meta, if you look for the meta. Don’t depend on just being in a random map.
It’s not impossible. If you don’t bother to get a good map, or organize a map, then you are the only person stopping you from getting a chest.
I’ve done 3 T4s in the last couple of weeks because I happened to be going through VB and realized it was night time and went to the LFG to find a map that was going for it.

Every piece except the coat can be bought from the vendor.
The coat can drop from the canopy bosses and as a reward from the meta, it doesn’t require t4 VB.
The vigil/priory/whisper backpack does require an actual t4 VB though.
You don’t need that many players at the camps too once everyone realizes that you can leave a non-threatening mob alive to prevent the continuously respawning mobs. I usually just leave a me for alive leaving only the natural spawns (if any) and the vines which I can just sidestep their attacks.
The problem here is messaging. Players that know the game find this stuff easy. Players who don’t know what to do or how to do it, they find it impossible.
The problem is too many people are finding it impossible. It’s obviously not, since people get it done, but the sheer number of people who don’t know indicates a deep problem.
There’s nothing in game that really explains what T4 is, or how to get to T4. There’s no message that pops up that says in game a meta is coming, you might want to check your looking for group tool.
Instead, players have to depend on external timer sites, wikis, reddit, and the official forums.
This shouldn’t be acceptable. You shouldn’t need a degree in Guild Wars to participate in a zone event.
Can you lower the requirements for the chest piece? Can you add more ways to get it?
Are the WvW and PvP reward track completely out of question for you? It is not very hard to get that armor that way.
