rune.9572 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 So, the story rails you into this pseudo dungeon... but nobody's doing it XD not even a group in LFG. I'm not going to solo it lmao, do devs even think about content longevity in this game? 24 1 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 This was predicted, the risk of bringing back old content and low reward. Suggest you start your own LFG at peak times if possible. Also right now won't be a good time due to the festival. A lot of areas aren't as populated since many are running in the lab. 18 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labjax.2465 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I was surprised it wasn't given the dragonstorm treatment. Timed opening for public instance and strong daily rewards would ensure it always has engagement and at a time of day you can predict/plan for. 22 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I'd rather run Dragonstorm 3x than do Tower of Nightmares. Those better be so real strong rewards. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harfang.1507 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 That's the reason I am hurrying up to complete that episode on various characters. (Obsessive-compulsive on story completion.) So far I managed to still do it last week, but it is getting more and more hit and miss in terms of success rate. It was fine in the first couple of weeks, but people will now move on to newer and better things. New players trickling through the story will have an unsatisfactory experience. If they someone eased up the pain of running the gauntlet to reach the zerg, it would do wonders. That would mean either weaker foes or a much lower respawn rate. Maybe have Kasmeer port you to wherever the current event is taking place if there are at least, say, three people there? 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvasera.9745 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Been trying to do this and finish off, "The Hunger" last step. Might take the advice and try after holidays. I'm getting nowhere right now posting in lfg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's anything that requires a group, your best off rushing to get it completed within the first week of release otherwise you're going to be in for a struggle. 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul.9651 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) When will they finally learn and realise that people are waitting for new raids and fractals? no wonder why noone played drms nor is playing tower of nightmares... It would make sence for them to make content which is more popular among all instanced content, and at least at EU lfg is good indicator what is beeing played the most.. and what a surprise its the same old fractals, raids, and strikes.. so why cant they just settle down and keep making new content among those 3..

Javonovich.5280 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Since this is required by the story, I think it really needs to dynamically scale its difficulty depending on how many people are in the instance. It sort of happens already, but not enough at the lower end for solo players who end up here outside of peak times. 16 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone in to the tower (public) a few times in the last 2 weeks, and not once have I found an empty instance. And as soon as I located some more players I put up a tag and told people it's there to keep us together. I always ended with about 20 people completing the tower. So in my experience it's not dead content but still at least somewhat alive. Not sure how long it'll stay that way though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogiepop Void.6473 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) They announced putting into announcement rotation. No mention of rewards changes. Prior history indicates putting in an announcement and walking away without any other changes.

I guess I am not 'people' and I am not waiting for new raids. I would be content if they abandoned the idea of raids and strikes completely.

No, you don't need to complete it, just fill up the progress bar of events completed. It is still painful. Dead? Maybe not. Long-term healthy population of players? I do not think so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnox.5128 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) What the hell are you guys whining about? Just get some friends together and do it. You do have friends don't you?

Mistwraithe.3106 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 It's part of Living World Season 1 isn't it? So it's quite likely targeting newer players as much (or more?) as existing players? As a new player myself (yet to kill Zhaitan) I'm quite pleased they have filled in Living World Season 1. And what seems like outdated rewards to everyone else may actually seem decent to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have friends don't you? As to the outdated rewards... Yeah, that is admittedly a problem. Honestly no, not in game. Completed all mine the first week with the mob of other players, but I'll happily defend anyone trying to do it now. Some guilds might help, but many players enjoy those for the amenities and not necessarily for the group play. The game largely has events where you can jump in with any random group of people and work together. The "whining" is from those who were not able to do the content the first week it was out when everyone was rushing through it, or people doing it with multiple accounts. It's a reasonable gripe. It would be prudent to not add content that had very poor incentives to continue to do them. Give players a reason to show up there....dailies are good and anything where you can earn a couple of gold. Again, best anyone can do...LFG not during festival, ask on map. It's a boring, tedious instance with low reward, imo. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
