Weeklong Bonus Event: Meta-Event Rush!


Recommended Posts

So why did they chose some events that need other events to fail for them to start? thinking the Gates or Arah meta, you need the defence to fail before you can attack again. literally need a couple of people to "grief" and it means that it ruins it for everyone else.

When i say grief i don't mean always intentionally as they may just not realise and just want to do the event of one reason or another but still.

Read the second to last paragraph of their post.

I am liking this event much better this time around. JUST COMPLETED SERPENT'S IRE with a minimum of fuss. Got an item from the event worth 18g and the /6/ bonus boxes had tier 4 mats(like I was getting 10 or so of each!!), which I will use for Vision, eventually. Plus of course, an amalgamated gemstone. I might just stick to POF maps now, since they are now on a TIMER. The commander was fidgeting around with the most efficient path. I imagine by tomorrow it'll be smooth sailing from one to another. Only issue was the Casino fellow didn't spawn? Otherwise, thumbs up from me.

"All of the Community Goal Tiers will have different rewards and anyone who has participated in the end of a Meta Event will get these rewards when/if they log in during the World Meta Event."I dont undrestand.Do i need to pracipate at EWERY tear to get that tear's loot or i just can do one meta at the end of the event to get loot from all tears?

Can you please massively upscale the mobs on these events? Many people seem to think that you need to hit every mob to get event credit, and most mobs are not veteran, let alone elite. It is possible for some people to get zero credit simply because others get there first.

For example, I have just done the Cathedral of Verdance meta. The mobs come up both sides of the cathedral, but their timers alternate. Most players were on one side, killed the mobs on that side, and then mounted over to the other sides to repeat. When you have a squad of people doing this, to few mobs most of whom are trash, it is possible for players to miss out on credit because the mobs die so fast. The number of players who stuck to participating on one side only was very small (3 of us on the side I was on).

Yes, I got credit, so this is not "sour grapes" on my part.

But please, think through the dynamics of how most of the players will act in these events.

This behaviour is also shown in the daily achievements for the "do 4 events in this map". You get some players massacring the mobs, with a bunch of players missing out. This outcome was predictable.

@Rubi Bayer.8493 said:A quick update on this event: The Arah defend events are now included as part of the Meta-Event Rush! They will earn the related rewards when you play them, and count toward the overall community goal tiers. Enjoy!

So I just did Arah defense, Grenth defense, and Melandru defense, and none gave Meta-Event Rush reward boxes. Are you sure this has occurred?

I personally hope that the main (or at least secondary) purpose of these community rush events like the World Boss Rush and the current Meta-Event Rush is to gather metrics on how these events handle with current player skills and skill balances, so that they could then update for the next related rush events. There's been a ton of power creep since even when PoF metas came out (they were not very well designed anyways). It'd at least be the smart thing to do.

@Cronos.6532 said:The mail said it runs until June 25. Whoops!

Not quite:

An extra bounty has been placed on meta-events throughout Tyria. Completing them before 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on Tuesday, June 11 will grant extra Bonus Boxes of Goods. Additionally, if the community completes enough of these events, all participants will be granted bonus rewards. See Bonus Events in the Achievement tab of the Hero panel for more info. Participants will have until 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on June 25 to claim their community-goal rewards.

Basically, event ends Jun 11th, but players have until June 25th to claim rewards.

Did some Orr events to defend (as nothing is contested).... Got like barely loot (3 treash items) and zero from the bonus event.... no participation counted either... Went to Elon hoping for Doppelganger event... Saw no such thing happening (not even its pre's).... Day 1 of trying to join this event... no event participation :/

Update: Did get a maw of torment participation giving boxes :)

I'm really happy about this event. Figuring out new rotations and metas is a fun challenge.

Also everyone turned into lizards during one of the bosses.

Edit: I recommend using LFG Central Tyria Squads for finding events. Can be tricky to get sometimes, especially on Orr.

Just wanted to take a breather from the fighting to thank Anet for this event. It's great fun. :) I've gotten to meta events I hadn't done before and revisited some I haven't done in a while. Heck, even Casino Blitz is great fun with a whole map of people jumping in every direction and the overall coin totals ratcheting up faster than I've ever seen before. Beyond this particular event, I also very much appreciate Anet's ongoing efforts to spice up the current maps. The boss rush was also enjoyable and even though I don't raid myself, I'm looking forward to the June 11th event too. Thanks for such good work!
