Nidome.1365 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 The Jade Maw event scales by the number of people present. You get to the point where you are having to kill champ level mobs to get the crystals and each crystal only reduces the health of the maw by 1%, even the trash mobs are champs. The number of crystals being dropped does not increase with scale rendering the event impossible once you get more than 40 people there. The scaling is not proportional to the number of people present, it is exponentially greater. This needs sorting out. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diovid.9506 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 As a casual player, I can say that getting the maw done for the turtle collection was quite a bit harder than the strike. Honestly, the strike is fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortime.1359 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 You pretty much have to do it early in the morning when there are like 4 people in the zone. Else it just scales out of control. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dami.5046 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) people are grieving the event. Done it a fair few times and were on track then some smart kitten comes with a tag, brings others, scales it up to stupid levels then just *disappears* 🧚♀️ Apologies if you think you are helping, but it really doesn't. Needless to say the scaling in EOD is crap, period. Edited March 19, 2022 by Dami.5046 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragas.1843 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Need to be addressed this issue I'm on my 18 try and keep failing full squad, 15 players is impossible to do. A meta map with event that scales same as final map meta boss Edited March 19, 2022 by ragas.1843 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxez.7361 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 For now just don't call out when it spawns. Those who actually need it for collection will wait at Jade Maw if you call the map over your setting your Maw up for failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Arenanet really needs to cap the event's scaling to maybe around 15 players. Edited March 19, 2022 by Fueki.4753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira Shalaar.5620 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Yeah, I definitely has the same thing happen. Failed 3 times (a lot less than others, I know) before I heard the suggestion to try it stealth with low numbers. That did work, but almost failed at the end as people suddenly discovered it was running and flooded us at the last ~15%. IDK what would be a good number to cap the scaling, or if scaling should (could?) be set at a diminishing number the higher the number of participants. But SOMETHING would be better than what we have right now. The only really good thing is that with this being doable at low numbers, looking forward a year or more when fewer people are working on unlocking turtle they won't need the high numbers to get this piece. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
