Stu Grockalot.2937 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Something needs to be done about Dragon's Stand.At release of HoT this was an amazing map, the meta was fantastic, and I enjoyed the big push to take down Mordremoth.Now a days the map ALWAYS seems empty, the meta never progresses and large areas of the map are un-explorable.Something needs to be done to fix it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 According to the wiki timer, the next meta cycle doesn't start for another half-hour or so. Is it possible you've just stumbled onto the map when the meta event isn't going (or gearing up for it) and thus not many people are there?

Gulbasaur.1865 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 You really, really need to turn up at the right time for Dragon's Stand. Keep an eye on the event timers and join a squad when the map resets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Grockalot.2937 Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 I've sat here and waited for ages, I've tried just before the meta, during the meta, nothing.Wouldn't mind just trying to get 100% exploration on an alt character :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It still happens, but it is done less frequently. It’s about time anet ran the meta event rush again, because that was an amazing buff to the population of those metas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Use the LFG. It may be difficult because we've been getting those low effort copy & paste bonus events back to back pulling players away from other areas of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goettel.4389 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 DS is most of what I do these days, use /wiki et and LFG and have fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynder.2509 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 This map could really use some more activity, sure. It's a great structure of a meta event and I'd love to see it being revived. But I fear that they wouldn't go make older content more appealing anymore except when it's for new collections that 90% of the people are done with in one week anyways. Maybe a special rush event (just like the Meta Rush but this time for HoT content only) should suffice here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlySynz.3471 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 A lot of the maps are dead, but Dragon Stand, along with the other HoT maps usually have running meta's. I've always seen people running the Dragon Stand meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elothar.4382 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I haven't been to DS in about a month, but last time I was there, it was chocked full. The map started fill up with players about ten to fifteen minutes before reset. If memory serves, the commanders started their LFG posts about five minutes before reset. So, like others have said, timing is everything. But, again, that was about a month ago. Not sure what's happening today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westenev.5289 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Try to arrive at dragons stand at least 20-30 minutes before the map resets (look at the wiki for a timer). If people aren't beginning lfgs at this time, especially in off hours, the event isn't likely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Dragons stands always generates two or three active maps during reset. You have to get on that ship before it sails. After that, there's only a handful of empty maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People been doing that. There are no groups in the LFG feature advertising their Dragonstand taxi, and there are no people running the map. I been there for hours to farm pods. Been no groups.

Usually, within those 20-30 mins of wait time, it's easy to organize a squad with 3 Commanders for the meta, at least in my experience. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metasynaptic.1093 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 It really depends on your timezone. NA prime isn't too bad. OCX, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draxynnic.3719 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I usually aim to do it on Dragon's Stand Event Completer days. There's usually active maps then, the problem is that sometimes the map gets finished late so the ~20 minute "collect your rewards period" overlaps with what would otherwise be the start of the next cycle and delays it.

TheMaverick.6104 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Been doing it each weekend at around midday for a few months and had no problems with finding maps that succeeds. Also i think there might be less problems onwards as the summer goes to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugrakarma.9416 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The time your play influence a lot on your population perception of GW2.Theres a "dead hour" in gw2 in general, in my timezone -3GMT (sry im bad in converting timezones) is something around 3A.M~5A.M.Normaly at 6A.M. in my timezone the Aussies and oriental ppl start showing up.
