Thunderkeep oil meta

[sniperman.1738]

I'm sorry but its an old meta and I feel this meta needs adjusted to where we don't have to defend the drills anymore because its hard to get enough people to pull to the meta making this part of the side story when your trying to catch up really tedious.

I don't know. I did the south meta twice the other day and both times there were more than enough people to successfully complete the events. Maybe you just ended up in an empty map? Try to use LFG to create a south meta squad or wait until Thunderhead Keep is the map of the day, so you can more easily gather enough players to do the meta.

That meta actually doesn't need all that many people. It is important though that people know what to do. If nobody takes care to kite the hydra away from the drill, that's usually what makes the event fail.

Dont forget it cycles between days where you get dailies from a specific ls4 zone just like ls3.

I had to try 3 times through out the day 😞

however it does require people not to be absolute idiots who direct all the attacks towards the drill instead of away from it

This is probably my least-played map and I made that mistake the other day.  Is the hydra actually part of the event or is that a separate event?  If not, they should really do something about that.  It shouldn't be pathing into this event where it is so disruptive.

Seems like something Hydras just love to do. I can think of at least two hero points that I've learned to go hunt down the wandering hydra before activating.

As far as I know, those hydras are part of the event, and from what I've observed also are the main obstacle that requires people to actually react to the situation rather than just attack anything without much thought. Most of the dredge are too weak to do serious damage to the drills (unless there are no defenders at all), so the hydras are the main threat that needs to be dealt with.

Ah okay.  I thought it might be that other hydra event that spawns in the area.
