Ahlen.7591 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Is the player cap on PoF maps too low? I'm running around and if I want to do an event there's nobody anywhere. Everything is solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintpixie.7398 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 If there are actually a low amount of players on a map, you will get a notification to switch maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boysenberry.1869 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I think it's a combination of things. The player cap is probably the same but on a larger map they get more spread out. There also aren't big meta events to capture player's attention so people are more likely to just roam and do their own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicus.2130 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 They're mostly empty already because people have finished mapping and their story and there's really nothing else to do in PoF that's rewarding enough to warrant being there.

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 If you want gold you'll need to go back to old content. Path of Flames: Large empty maps and players are spread out across them, scouring the landscape to make their daily silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running around and if I want to do an event there's nobody anywhere. Everything is solo. One time, this happened to me. Every PoF zone was empty in LFG. And I was about to come unload on the forum. But I just updated my game's build, logged back in, and every zone was popping with players. Make sure your game is completely updated (latest build). That has some definite connection with the amount of people you see in LFG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only farm my guild could come up with and has published on Reddit, requires extreme organisation and participation from every single person in the squad. Alongsides that, any bounty + Forged camp clear rotation we've tried, as simply fallen drastically short of RIBA gold per hour - thus concluding our time in PoF until we can perfect our CO CF.

Nah, they should buff the meta's that are actually in the map reward wise and tone down some of the blatantly overtuned mobs. Branded Humans come to mind with their 7-8x Barrage spam that does 3k+ damage a hit(in the span of less than a second). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you do need to kill them for the Funerary set ... although I am not sure how many people are even aware of the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shena Fu.5792 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 PoF was designed for casual solo. Apparently thats what people wanted; well they got it. For rewarding group content, return to older maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaltys.7649 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 From what I've seen, everyone's idling on the waypoints, or in various safe spots such as in Lily of Elon or Springer village. The aggro range and respawn are so annoyingly high that most players rush past the content, from safe point A to safe point B, without stopping for events. Which also means that hardly anyone's doing bounties, unless you specifically go with a group for that purpose. So I have no idea how anyone would think that it's designed for 'casual solo', when most of it isn't soloable and far from casual. Metas were far more suited for casual play than this.

Abakk.9176 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I am all for engaging content but as soon as i am done there im off to HoT or SW. Can't remember a single time where i engaged a single enemy, only to end up fighting 3-4 extra's popping out from wherever in the shadows they were lurking. After a while it gets quite tiresome.

I'm running around and if I want to do an event there's nobody anywhere. Everything is solo. Maybe it's because of the daytime you choose to play? If you are on EU servers, your post was made at 3 a.m. ;) Otherwise, I assume people are in story missions. I never have an issue with not enough players in a region, to be honest.

Arzurag.7506 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 They are gone, finished story and completed the map. Now they are back to their rotations, making currency, tremendously farming. Some people find it enjoyable to farm, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotrax.4207 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 HoT was a real meta orgy where you need constantly to grp up with tons of people, now is the opposite most content you can do in solo , a bit imba I must say, I think gw2 vanilla had the best map content, they should add one a few more meta event in PoF . Have been away from GW2 for about a year and I must say that the maps feels a bit empty indeed , and I played all day since Wednesday,and I only see few player pop-up only in few events.

I'm running around and if I want to do an event there's nobody anywhere. Everything is solo. most people have already completed a personal story, finished collecting mounts and achivments. Thats all. there is nothing to do more, in the crystal desert. actually, what did you expect from the addon for 30 bucks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
