Kori Jenkins.9017 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 So currently working on just Nevermore 1 right now, and I'm already disgusted by a 2 parts of the collection.Both take place in Heart of Thorns, one on the most empty map, the other on Verdant Brink.For both of these events you cannot do them solo, and it takes quite a bit of time. I arrived just an hour ago in Verdant Brink with the intent of doing the event I need for my collection, which requires me to destroy a tree. I managed to solo all of the events just past halfway, only for nightfall to come and reset all the progress I had made.How is this fair? There was literally nobody else around, no groups in the group finder, and I got screwed over by the game's timer, something I have no control over. I haven't even attempted the other part that takes place in the empty depths, and I'm sure its 10000 times worse. Remove these requirements, or make them more feasible. I'd rather kill the patriarch wyvern 10 times than try and solo group events only to fail because of a timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoni.7015 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I don't think they should be removed, everyone needed to do them for the collections. When I did the events it was not a problem to find enough people. Maybe ask in your guild to get a group for the events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind its new expansion time at the moment so obviously people are working on other goals at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alatar.7364 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It is a Legendary Weapon you are attempting to make, and thus Legendary Deeds must be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuisT.3761 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm in the same boat with the OP too but with Chuka and Champawat. I've been stuck on Vol 3 for the past month or so due to no one around and map reset. It is pretty annoying.Also I'm in a guild with 30-50 people on at a time but isn't the most helpful guild so thats out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe as the population/player base drops--Anet should adjust the game accordingly. What was required in the past has no bearing on what needs to adjusted now.

Kori Jenkins.9017 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I must apologize, perhaps my wording was off. The collection requirements themselves should not be removed, but they should be changed to something more feasible. I managed to do the one in Tangled Depths, solely because I happened to walk into the event in progress (though I was the only one there). As for Verdant Brink, I sat there for about 2 hours and never once did a soul even come to that side of the map.I started the collection today, I now have 2 things left. Dragon's Stand, which I'm doing last, and Verdant Brink. The fact that I managed to do the other 12 things in a day, but now these last 2, is incredibly frustrating. Especially when you consider the fact that even after I finish this collection, I must then break the bank to actually craft the weapon itself.

DebraKadabra.5278 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I've seen people advertise for the Blighting Tree event chain in VB in LFG. Maybe if you can't get friends or guildmates to help, you could advertise there?As an aside, I helped a good friend with this event chain while she was crafting Nevermore and the very last event in the chain kept getting canned due to nightfall, but she finally did get a successful completion in a large group, so it is possible.

In my experience games are bad when they force you to rely on other players, instead of yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebraKadabra.5278 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm not disagreeing, but one of the mechanics in HoT for the daytime events, as you probably already figured out, are map-wide, large group event chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Part of the problem is that the ordance corps chain of events is one of the most tedious. I usually avoid it like the plague. It is not obscure at all. It might even be well known but for the wrong reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoF is new and most people are there just now, you may need to wait a bit until folk spread out again - your problem is temporary and will solve itself in time.

I'm not sure that "disgust" is relevant to the question of whether it's worth diverting resources to changing requirements, especially when existing owners might not agree that it's fair to do so.Both take place in Heart of Thorns, one on the most empty map, the other on Verdant Brink.What does "the most empty map" even mean? How does one measure "emptiness" ? @Kori Jenkins.9017 said:For both of these events you cannot do them solo, and it takes quite a bit of time.

I managed to solo all of the events just past halfway, only for nightfall to come and reset all the progress I had made.I'm sorry to heart that. That mechanic has always existed, though. How is it different now?@Kori Jenkins.9017 said:How is this fair?

I'd rather kill the patriarch wyvern 10 times than try and solo group events only to fail because of a timer.I can understand why you're upset. I don't think you've made a strong case for why these requirements need to change. It seems to me you haven't exhausted existing resources in an effort to complete them.
