The pavilion is empty right now after only 1 day of release. It’s boring, no one bothers to hit the bosses because there’s really no point. I’m honestly just trying to get the achievements I need (like the other 10 or so people in the map) by killing some veterans and then I’m leaving too. I’m angry and disappointed. I’ve spent money on the game this month and for what I got from it feels mediocre or worse. Nothing new, just the same living story (which would’ve been good for me tbh) but nerfed so hard it’s not worth spending time on.
ANET ILU Y U DO DIS TO ME
I checked in last night and it was still fairly busy……it was late and there were a surprising number of people there.
Freelancer’s posts intrigue me. Have been wanting to try some of the runs with small groups just to see how effective it is. While I doubt if I could, or for that matter, ever want to get to Freelancer’s level of efficiency with the runs, would be interesting to try some different strategies in those areas to see how they work.
Better than eating all my popcorn while watching the sobfest here.

I’d be constructive and give out some easy tips, but that’d ruin the tone of the thread.. So instead I’ll cry with you
lemme guess. You have a large guild or a lot of people with a teamspeak server? because every attempt I’ve seen simply coordinating whoever was there has ended in an hour long bronzefest.
so in short. Unless you have some magical and epic strategy for causing this event to not suck for those of us who dont want to join TTS, kindly stuff the holier-than-thou preening.
magic words: don´t zerg you jolk. 6 groupos of each 15-20 players. six bosses. split up. do the bosses with onyl 20 instad of all 150 at once. I have seen ever yboss atleast once diying in the gold reward time. if that happesnw ith all six bosses at the same time…..guess what: GOLD REWARD AND LOOT.
failing to this simplest of organisation? no loot you don´t deserve it. thats why they also made a anti zerg buff in the three knight encounter against scarlet.
Then Anet shouldn’t have introduced the megaserver system and put hundreds of people into the same zone.
thats was not the point of that you melon juice! its was supposed to make the zones more active. specialy before china release. would like to play a game that seem populated but only in queens dale are some train farmers? no you would think despite the scaling nobody is there and the game is empty.
the megaserver is only for that aspect not to zerg.
it´s supposed to gather people and give them the sense fo an active community.
that CAN result in groups taking on bosses. but its only offers you to form parties or just not to be alone.
this pavilion is anti zerg from the get go. even reading the patch notes you can understand that zerging is pointless, specialy since they said they implemented that event in that way. if you still try zerging then you didn´t read the freakin thing or you are that stubborn and lazy to keep zerging. I don´t want you to call you idiotic because that would even invalidate your view even more.
YES i get it when GW2 launched all bosses were zerg fests. and that was actually a mistake. they should have waited a bit longer and made encounter like tquatle and the worm earlier, to show yeah these are the freakin raid like end game content.
Anet tries to correct this but they alway run into stubborn people like you, unable to adjust.
you what in nature that would mean? survival of the fittest. not adjsuting means death. and in an MMO it means you are doin it wrong and will never again be on top.
if you want you wallet overflow with gold and ectos then get the kitten goin and start an organized attempt and stop zerging.

What’s with the petty insults? I thought we were having a normal conversation here.
I will leave you to your ranting.

Requires 90 to 120 people actually listening in map chat instead of congregating at the nearest commander like World v World.
Which means 89-119 people you don’t control determining your reward even if you scream…

Making 150 other people control your reward is one of the reasons my friends list is filled with people who haven’t logged on in 6+ months. Fortunately I maxed the AP and skipped out anyway.

90-150 people? Where do you get numbers like this? I just got fortunate enough to be involved in both a silver and gold run of the pavillion this weekend, and it only took around 6-8 people on each boss to do the event quickly and successfully. That’s less than 50 people for the entire run. And that was with pugs.
Yea, I have seen 90-150 people there doing the runs before, but with that many players, the organization usually falls apart half way through, and the drones just revert to zerging each boss(and take forever doing it)….so yea, I agree with your point about having that many people on the event…..it sets it up for failure.
But the event doesn’t need that many players to complete it. Less than 50 people is more than enough to do all the bosses at the same time…..and much easier to organize, and keep organized through the run.

The whole lack of loot sucks kitten but with previous LS updates there was a lot complaining on the forums about “zerg content” and wanting more “raid style” events Anet actually responded to this with the new Pavilion but at the same time dropped the ball on the loot / XP situation :/
Last night myself and 6 randoms / pugs circled the map and killed all the Bosses wasn’t hard but took a long time. lot of work for a few greens.
There need to be a balance between Skilled events and loot or most players will do the base achievements and not return rendering the event as a failure.
