A few days ago, I completed Plains of Ashford on my mesmer. Two events failed simply due to the players being massively outnumbered, but I didn’t get any screen shots or have anything more specific than waypoints. This is also after my necromancer got swamped with enemies defending a pair of Ash Legion tents. That is, at least three events with ridiculous numbers of enemies.

Today I participated in one of the same events, this time on my engineer. The event failed, of course, because there were far (far) too many enemies for the number of players in the area.

I managed to get just one screen shot of today’s dynamic event in question (with all other player names blanked just to make sure I don’t violate any forum rules):

There are just three players in the area completing the event. In this shot, there are twelve separatists alive. Not pictured — and you can take my word for it or not — there is another wave of a half dozen separatists off to my left.

We had no chance of completing this successfully. Too many to fight, and the saboteurs had very large health pools even if there weren’t dozens of other enemies trying to kill us.

I’m fine with a challenging game, but many of the events in the Plains of Ashford tend to be zerg rushes with extra zergs and a side order of zergs. Please take a bit of time to verify that this is working properly, because it seems far different than any other dynamic events I’ve attended in similar level zones.
