Orimidu.9604 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It's a meta event in Domain of Vabbi and pretty challenging--on the level of Temples in Orr. Is it too difficult, are the rewards too small, is everyone too busy getting a rather useless-unless-you-need-world-completion-and-are-super-rich griffon mount? This event is all I need for my Grieving Gloves, and I can't finish the achievement because nobody is doing this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsubmariner.4690 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I've got the problem of Xedra, a branded hydra bounty. People outright refuse to do it when I LFG. There are just some things people aren't doing, and I can't understand why except that they have this Achievement Buzz thing going that cannot be diverted. For a meta thing to just go like that (also the Maw is a big meta) with no one really playing it . . . I don't know. Maybe it will settle soon once people have their achievement buzz in cool down.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'm not doing much of any events. I'm too busy running hopping & jumping around (plus still working on story & masteries) to pay attention to events that aren't directly related to what I'm doing. (Although, I do admit I constantly digress into whatever things I run into.) That said, I do notice that any time I or someone else pops a tag (mentor or commander), people will show up. I haven't even bothered to check out LFG, there have been enough /map requests so far. In other words, if you link it, they will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojimaru.8970 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Vabbi is the fifth and final map of the expansion, and I would hazard to guess that most players are still working their way through the earlier ones, or are still exploring Vabbi itself. Further, many players are motivated by extrinsic rewards, i.e. loot, and will likely be hesitant to take on anything challenging that doesn't have a guaranteed shiny at the end. Does the Serpent's Ire have great loot? Not many know, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohoni.6057 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm way too busy to even consider meta events. I haven't event been to Domain of Zabbi yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 If it's in the Brand itself, there's a reason many players avoid that place like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 People don't do it because of the scaling. Now I've only ever done it when there were like 7 people in each group so maybe it's better when you have a full map. Other than the collection item, there's likely no reason to do it a second time unless you really really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashur.7648 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Many reasons already mentioned. In this case it's the Brand, the constant lightning makes it annoying. Although when there is something going on that requires you to go there, the environmental effect seems to be suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'll tell you why I straight out refuse to do it: supremely annoying mechanics that are not appropriate for the open world audience, and not fun. First the boss moves all over the place every 5s. A lot of melee classes rely on ground targeted aoes and these aoes don't follow the boss, so that's just frustrating. Then the boss charge attack also hits players on the side and behind it. Go figure... Then all AoEs are targeted so melee is a no-go zone due to meteors. So it's yet another forced ranged mode boss that zips around constantly with massive targeted area denial. Not fun. I don't mind having bosses moving but rather slowly or just once in a while, and I don't mind being forced to go range just not constantly, because the dps loss is insane as range is pretty much worthless for any class but ele. So ultimately, it's long, tedious, and since it hits like a truck you spend half the fight respawning people.That's my reasons, others may have different ones.

drgast.1469 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It's definitely something that should be looked at. I've been trying to get the event done for a week and have had zero luck finding people there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's literally this. The rewards are junk, the event scaling is worse. There's 0 incentive to replay it so those that have done it, generally wont come back to it.

Randulf.7614 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 There is also a problem of a lack of players on the map. It is being speculated that low population caps or mounts taking up player space is a possible cause, but whatever the reason it is a widely reported issue right now which is causing a lot of events to fail or be unattended.

Ahlen.7591 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Bad rewards and requires too many players. PoF maps are already ghost towns so asking for that many people is a recipe for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyrulisse.1246 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Needs better rewards for the difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I haven't experienced this event yet. Judging from the posts above, it seems like a good one to avoid until I absolutely need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malediktus.9250 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The rewards are too small. It basically takes an hour worth of time to organise and play and rewards you with the same garbage loot as any other event in PoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo.6140 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Ive done it only once. The biggest issue might be that it takes around half an hour to complete (+ time spent before gathering on a map and organizing the squad) and gives seemingly the same rewards as a normal legendary bounty that can be done in 5 minutes. That said, the event was pretty fun and is probably the largest of the mini-metas we have in PoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Cutter.9376 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Also the Vabbian part of the Brand is an actively unfun place to do anything on foot, what with the constant lightning strikes and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate.8146 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Personally I find Vabbi a boring map, void of any life or interest despite having such grand cities. I prefer Crystal Oasis and Elon Riverlands as those two are the more interesting maps to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge shot Grif.6450 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The second stage needs to be toned down or the rewards need to be massively jacked up. I got 3 elegies from all of that so now I don't plan on ever messing with it again since I have the funerary gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasi.9065 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Spend over 30min on that meta event from start to finish... for my troubles I got: 1 blue random weapon AND 1 blue unidentified gear. Like all the PoF metas, just not worth my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
