Guild Wars 2

I found myself multiple times at maps, which got a timer of 20 to 70min left and still on start events.
At least for now there is no way to fill up map with ppl and do all events within this reduced start time.
So in worst case multiple maps are dead for an hour and if ppl dont join in time they stay for another 2 hours.

I like this map’s event, but empty maps with gamedestroying timers aint fun.

As horrible as it is. You can push each lane with 10-15 people. So a total of 30+ for the whole map. If EVERY ONE knows what they are doing, you can push all the way to boss area in ONE hour. As you push a map, more and more people show up. Especially if you have a solid command team. Will it always work? No, but better to try then not! Best of luck!

IMO, this could be helped a bit if the timer only starts counting down once enough players have presented at the command posts.

I think it’s intended for the maps to all have timers so they likely would not implement the suggested change. If you want to do the DS meta, be on the map 30 minutes past every even numbered hour based on server time.

Edit: Fixed an error on my part.

Which time zone, Ayrilana? And is that post-daylight savings change? Mad King Says was every other even numbered hour for me until the change, now he’s on odds (I’m eastern time zone) but would be evens for people in Central. So I imagine that the DS timing you describe will depend on time zone as well.

Well I’m referring to NA players as we just went through daylight savings. Previously it was for even hours.

Edit: Actually I just realized that I was basing this on what it was for me. I’ll refer to server time instead and adjust my previous post(s) to reflect that.

The DS map starts ever even numbered hour at 30 minutes past based on server time.
