Guild Wars 2

Was in the Dredgehaunt Cliffs, past the vista / champion event just near the Sorrows Furnace dungeon entrance. In the ice cave jump puzzle there the enemies were level 50 and I was scaled down to 43. >_< Seemed to effect everyone in the area, in my party or otherwise. Came across a few downed or defeated players that were not expecting to run into +7 enemies. To my knowledge we were all level 80, scaled down, and were level 80 before the latest patch.

I just checked this, and I think I’d need to know exactly where you saw this level gap. When I looked, the ice cavern all the way to the Sorrow’s Furnace entrance was sidekicking me to L51.

I’ve been wondering about this for a while now but is the scaling supposed to be consistent across the game world (assuming a lv80)? I was killing a “Veteran” the other day for the daily but the problem is that it was 6 levels below me. The rest of the creatures around the area were 3-6 levels below. There are also areas where the mob is is always 3+ levels above you as well.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

The level of a particular area isn’t necessarily tied to the creature level, but we do try to keep them within +/-1 level of the area. But, being human, we make mistakes, so any spots you see with a mismatch are good to call out.

Just making sure if I should be making note of those.
Bugs/tickets for things which are not bugs is something I hate, on either end.

Excuse for world completion and elementalist #3 …

I will try to be as descriptive as possible.

Go up the scaffolding to get to the Vista in the far southwest corner in the zone. A chest is there along with an event with a Champ Dredge. (this event was active when we arrived, and we finished it half way up the jump puzzle to get to the Vista) Go between the cliffs into the icy area / jump puzzle.

The mob in particular is most of the way through the puzzle itself. An Ice Elemental that is alone before a drop into a large hole. This is after crossing the bridges with AoE ice damage and up the steps along the hill. This is before you encounter the skritt and the area with the skill point.

This is where we experienced the weird dynamic leveling. That ice elemental was 7 levels above us, and it respawned quickly and continuously. Myself and one other player brought it down 3 times in a row before we had a chance to escape down the hole. It was very quick: The mob dies and as the body is falling a new one takes it place.

Hope this is enough to find it.
