Guild Wars 2

So here we have a new armor that is behind achievements, which in itself is not so bad, it makes people explore and maybe fight/do random things they wouldn’t normally do, but alas, someone at Anet may have over stepped a mark here.

Most of the armor is easy enough when it comes to world bosses,

Defeat the Mark II golem in Mount Maelstrom – Legs
Defeat the Modniir Ulgoth in the Harathi Hinterlands – Shoulders
Defeat Taidha Covington in Bloodtide Coast. – Coat
Defeat the Shatterer in Blazeridge Steppes – Gloves
Defeat the karka queen in Southsun Cove – Boots

All of the above are easy enough,

Then we have this

Defeat the chak gerent in Tangled Depths. – HEAD

This is not a normal boss though is it, it requires a map setup close to Triple Trouble, which in itself wouldn’t be to bad IF you could get people onto the map, I don’t want to have to rope in an entire guild to get 1 achievement based item, the map is horrible, people are avoiding it like the plague the ONLY reason I see now people in the map is because they are running towards Dragon Stand to do the meta there,

The 1 time we managed to get people onto the map, we ended up with about 40 people and the event failed in less than 6 minutes, there is no timer on the maps to let people even know when the meta will begin etc,

You either need to do a revamp of this map and the meta on the map, or move that item needed for that collection to another world boss/event, I do NOT mind challenging content infact I welcome it, what I do mind is, me being restricted to something ingame because I need to hope and pray that the other 80 people on the map want to do the same thing as me, and know how to do it.

HoT was a great launch, but this 1 meta chain has really put a damper on it for me and a few friends.

I’ve never even seen more than 4 people in a lane for the meta, noone ever even tries. it’s disappointing to me.

We have 15 minutes (that we don’t need really) to set up for the Octovine but only 5 for TD which is way harder. A ten minute delay would be ace, as well as more guidance to the lanes.

There should also be more than…3? minutes before the event fails. Have people defend the lane against swarms of Chak BEFORE starting the Gerent event.

I just don’t understand why all the other parts where linked to older world bosses, and the last part was linked to a meta event that no one attends too, it would almost be as bad as linking something to the Triple Trouble event, they should have linked it to something like Jormag or even Silver Wastes Meta,

Unless Anet change this, I will be restricted, as no one has any interest in doing this map, which is unfair to most players who are restricted by everyone else playing.

I would love to see a RED Post on this topic, even if its just so they acknowledge the problem.

well IME there’s actually usually people on the map. Megaserver system means there’s no such thing as a deserted map.

there’s just not anyone who even tries the meta, similar to Triple Trouble.

Another failed CHAK event, /sigh
