Guild Wars 2

Just wondering if anyone else felt this way about it, I mean I realize many of the meta events are not working properly but it seems like from an in game perspective there’s hardly anyone there.

I mean personally as they are, I will have nothing to do with maps once I complete them. They’re extremely difficult to move around in (due to the number of contestable waypoints) and many of the non-group events seem like they should be labeled group events. Like all the ‘defeat the veteran acolyte surrounded by at least 10 other mobs which will all aggro when you attack it, oh and it’s standing in a murder field of some kind or another’ in straights of devastation.

Moving on to malchor’s leap I’ve got mobs that will leash and start super regenerating while attacking me, the only way to prevent them from doing so is to stand there and take their attacks (this includes vets). Even the blasted ballistas in eastern colonnade regenerate making hit and running them impossible.

What it all comes down to is solo play seems to be heavily discouraged in Orr and at the very least it seems like people in my server don’t like the place. Can’t wait to be finished and done with it, anyone else?

Orr is a challenging, high level area and seems to encourage, if not outright require, teamwork. Mobs are much harder, aggro from farther away and hit harder, and have a diverse range of abilities.

One of the reasons I haven’t been enjoying Orr is because, as you said, it’s so sparsely populated. The game hasn’t been around long enough for Orr to maintain a good flow of players. Furthermore, about a third of the events in the zone are bugged and won’t start. There’s probably a big invasion of Orr event that happens when all the events are cleared (not unlike the Swamp event in Queensdale), but because some are permanently stuck, that isn’t happening.

If Orr isn’t any fun, I recommend Frostgorge Sound, which is a 70-80 Explorable zone with Hearts. It’s way up there in Shiverpeak.
