a little respectful, constructive and polite communication in map chat can make all the difference. the nastier/whinier/disrespectful you are, the less inclinced people are to help your cause, whatever that may be. rifts between the comunity need to stop happening. you don’t have to agree with how others play, but there is definitely LESS need to belittle others for the same.

Haven`t heard truer words in a long time communicate and be respectful these two things can bring you a long way not only in video games but also in real life

Very true what i described was an ideal situation but as you said yourself its not rly difficult for an individual even without a commander tag to call out teleport points and guide other people to certain portals .
Seeing how easy zergs are formed in this and many other games the horde mentality should pretty much ensure that u get enough people to coordinate a successful Scarlett event

I have been running a 0-20-0-30-20 setup with FT/EG/RB and Healing turret or MedKit for quite some time now using a mix of knights and berserker gear and altruism runes and i have to say it offers good survivability decent damage and quite respectable utility.

It may not be the most damaging setup an Engi can use but its great fun to play and can be used without a lot of modification in open world PvE ,dungeons and WvWvW (just beware of that nasty retaliation)

Honestly i really cant understand all that fuzz of “farmer” versus “completionists”. During the last days i have done this event a lot of times partly to complete my achievements partly to farm for gold and in the whole time i have only seen 2 failed attempts to kill Scarlett although people have been heavily farming either on my mainserver or on the overflow i was in.

In my opinion this whole “farmers” vs “completionists” debate can quite easily be solved by competent commanders.
When the event starts all the groups start to kill the first wave as fast as possible as soon as the second wave starts the “farmers” start to farm the Aetherblades while organised groups of “completionists” kill the second wave of Scarlett`s minions.
With a lil bit of coordination (and by now almost everyone knows the event good enough to move between the spawns almost in their sleep) this can be achieved in very little time so that one of the commanders can then call a “Now lets farm the hell out of this place” and with enough time left after some farming the “completionists” return to killing the last wave of Scarlett`s minions (again on the command of one of the commanders) and in the end “farmers” and “completionists” meet at scarletts spawn kick the living hell out of her shake hands and meet again in 15 min.

No drama
No namecalling
Everyone is Happy
