I am really surprised Jade Maw scaling has not been fixed yet after all this time and after so many complaining.

Who says we are afraid of raids? Maybe we have done enough raiding in other games and got tired of it. And decided to play GW2 because it was not raid focused and offered something different.

The fact that so many are laughing at your post and trolling you with confused reacts just shows you how welcoming the community is on the forum. But don't worry you are not the only one to complain about it. Once you get a skyscale you can avoid a lot of the problems. But yes HOT is a bit too much. Everything is trying to kill you all the time and you cant get even few minutes to enjoy the scenery.

So that's like 10 hours of straight game play? Ofcourse no lifers have no problem. But we are talking from perspective of casual players. And no one is mentioning the real problem. Even after first successful kill there is absolutely nothing exciting to bring players back. The rewards are terrible and not worth the two hours you sink into it.

This its all luck based. I was lucky to find a premade group by map hoping. Not everyone is that lucky. The general chat is toxic and full of angry and frustrated players.

I already gave you example of true solo friendly games. In GW2 other than story what else is there to solo? Hero points? Hearts? Even hero points in HOT can't be soloed. So "most content is indeed solo friendly" is a blatant lie. And you also conveniently ignored the difficulty jump from base game to HOT. Moreover, i am talking from the point of view of new "casual" players who will join the game through steam. Not people like you have been playing it for a decade and know the game inside out. The game is rough once you leave base game and enter HOT as a new player. I know i almost quit twice when i was new back then.

After God knows how many tries i finaly got the kill thanks to a pre-made group that i got really lucky with. I logged in and someone was looking for couple of random dps to fulfill a pre-made squad. I jumped at the opportunity. Two hours of preperation for underwhelming rewards and encounter which is impossible for casual players. I got the mastery points and that's all i cared for. No way i am spending that much time again on open world meta which feels more like hardcore raiding. If i wanted to do raids i would go play WOW. That's not why i started playing GW 2 in first place. My main draw to GW2 was it's open world content which is accessible to all casual players no matter if they have hour or more to spare on gaming. If that's the direction ANET wants to go in future they are going to alienate a lot of their playerbase. And i know I am not the only one who feels this way when i say that once you done with meta you are just done for good. There is no motivation to go back and do it again. As more and more players will reach Dragon End two things will happen. They will keep trying and the repeated failure will make them quit or if they manage to get the kill they will still quit because rewards are just terrible for the effort. The expansion is still new so lot of players are just reaching the end game. But after another couple of months this is going to be dead map. Lot of groups are already advertising as "only doing pre meta events" because all they want is the egg for turtle mount. And since ANET has unpinned the topic so from their side matter is settled.

No one said that. People said soo won encounter will be ignored after alternative way to get egg was introduced. Which is true except for those groups who got two hours to spare and are highly organised. Most casual players are only doing pre meta events and then abondon the soo won encounter. You can see many groups in lfg "only doing pre meta events"

Other than story most of the content is not solo friendly in GW 2 and neither it's casual. The difficulty jump from base game to HOT for example is too high. I really doubt any new casual players can even solo hero points in HOT. So yes if they sell it as a casual and solo friendly game ita going to disappoint a lot of players. Best example of solo friendly games are Elder Scrolls Online and FFXIV.

This game is definitely not solo friendly. Atleast not anymore. If they release this game on Steam with same tagline its going to disappoint a lot of players.

Seeing from the reactions its clear majority dont agree with you. If i wanted an end game treadmill kind of game i would have stuck with WOW and millions of its other clones. I started playing GW2 because it was different.

People waking up as early as 4 or 5 am to complete this event with few people on the map. This shouldn't be happening. GW2 should encourage team player not discourage it

Please fix this bug. Why this whole turtle things is so broken and such a frustration. Even getting skyscale was a cakewalk in comparison.

This entire expac has been a struggle from start. Never had this much frustration before not even during HOT which most players hated. From events to new roles. It's all a mess. Not to mention getting turtle is the most frustrating experience i had in my life so far. Not because it's only way too overtuned but also because of how buggy the events are for example Jade Maw. It's been many days since release and scaling is still broken

Please fix. It's impossible to complete everytime more than 10 people join. The scaling is all kind of broken.

I dont think this is unpopular opinion 😁

Or they can remove tail rng and all the stupid animations soo won does which waste lot of time. Or they can simply increase the timer by few minutes. Even that would be great help.

Isn't it great that world doesn't revolve around you and only your personal experiences? Both groups were listed as "dragon end meta" that's it. No other information. So i don't know how I forced my way into it.

Not people fault. Now i see groups mostly who wants to farm events for the writs to buy the egg and then bail at end boss. Its just not worth the effort for the time it takes.

I got kicked from two groups because i had no KP to ping or legendary or ascended gear. First time in my life i got kicked from an open world group for having no KP to show for a meta event. This game has surely changed alot. I am a filthy casual with exotic gear but i know how to play my class well i guess thats not enough anymore. If i wanted to experince this kind of elitisim i would have joined fractals or strike or whatever people play these days or just stick to WOW.

Still waiting for that build because nothing has changed so far.

Failed every DE meta i did after update. People are getting frustrated more and more. At this rate this going to end up as a dead map.

Yep..imagine people expecting queues for GW2. This game hardly even advertise or promote itself to attract new players.

Sadly this game has always failed to attract lots of players. It will always be a niche game and it isn't casual friendly especially after latest changes. This expansion release will fly under the radar like previous one. It will get little attention and nothing major like how people rushed to play FFXIV and the latest Lost Ark.

I am in two active guilds. They help when they can but i dont expect them to drop everything for me everytime i need help. Also lot of us play at odd hours because of life and work schedule and not everyone is available to help at drop of hat.
