sasoefje.6708 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 This past weekend, I tried to complete the 3 mastery points I have left in Borja Marches. Raven's Favor (beat the storm and Ice Construct 15 times - I needed 4 more), Praise Koda (do each of the primer trials), and Drakkar. During the 8 hours I played during the afternoon on Sat and Sun, I participated in 4 storm events, we failed 3 time. I participated in Drakkar 3 times, we failed all 3 times. In all 7 cases, it was because we did not have enough people to complete the event. The one time we did, it worked great. I am guessing everyone is in Drizzlewood Coast playing the new material - great loot there as well. Kodan trials seem to be random, and the one I need - the rifts, popped once, and again, I was the only one doing the event. Almost succeed alone, but just not quite. The fish trial was popping every 30 min or so. I was very frustrated. Calls for players, LFG, nothing seemed to work. I can't imagine the emptiness in the even older zones. Makes me not even interested in some of the achievements I never finished in the older areas. How do we keep people interested in the "old" stuff, when the new and shiny is out. Is there a point when the old metas should be scaled to allow few people to complete them? Curious what others think. ____ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 The only incentive to bring people back (which I can imagine) is to massively increase the rewards. But that would possibly result in the newer map (which then would be less rewarding) to become rather empty. I doubt Arenanet would do that.

Khisanth.2948 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Storm was always terrible unless you were looking for a solution to insomnia. Trials are pretty easy so I am not sure why it's included here. Drakkar's baseline numbers requirements seems pretty high and lockout mechanics for the champions also sets a minimum. It does have the Broken Voice weapon set which is a palette swap of the illuminated boreal set but yellow doesn't strike me as being a particularly popular color for MMORPG stuff.

No. The "only way" to get players to engage in content is not by showering them with loot. Ask anyone who plays WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasoefje.6708 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Wow! What a difference a day made. Tonight both the storm and Drakkar on the first try. Still can't seem to get the Kodan Trial for the rifts to pop, I guess it is random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Gave up on the kodan trials myself, ive better things to do with my time than waiting for events that may not spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
