Also seeing another thread about this I do wonder how many people would like to kick leechers off open world maps for exact same behavior 🤔 The problem I have with it is that you need to do this channel to get credit for the achievement and while I have participated in the event like 30 times, I have only gotten credit 8 times. So, now I feel like to ensure I get the credit I need, I'm just going to stand at the prism and not fight so I can press R as soon as it's available.

Ez Dragonstorm everyone happy. I don't know why they so obsessed fixing the bug on dragonstorm where braham and ryland dead, but ignore some other old bug from HoT or PoF or anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fightr all you want just skip the last cc phase and go to crystal instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but still... I feel like it's just bad design to need to skip a part of the group effort so I can get credit for an achievement. I mean, being there so early is half the reason I can never get there in time, people are already doing that. Why can't it just give credit at the same time as awarding loot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do the cc phase and get back to the crystal in time to do the special action but apparently your abit slow to get up there so better skip it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it is channeled to 100% about 5s after Aurene starts speaking, there is almost no time to get up there. Hence my point. It's just bad design when people have to skip out on parts of a group event to then fight over the limited channel available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how its always worked, if its something that benefits us, it gets fixed faster then anything 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the story instance also counts or not... I haven't tried that. --- And we are once again with tons of AFK farmers. By the wp, by the pylons, by the prisms, flying over the battlefield and at the chest area. ANET.... go back to the 10s kills, at least we wouldn't have to see the AFKs faces for long.

Events during Dragonstorm have been updated to not award participation to inactive players. Increased the minimum participation required to receive the end rewards from Dragonstorm.

Sorry, it is just, to me, that "increased the minimum" meant they had to do more to get the rewards xD And more = more events, in this case (to me again xD) Oh well, back to hating this event xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TristisOris.2165 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 nothing changed after fix. DS again last for 30min. big blob, no dps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails.9372 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 7 hours ago, TristisOris.2165 said: big blob, no dps Well ofc. not, the scaling in this game is horrendous. In context of the average players the overall dps gained by adding another one stands in no relation to the HP the mobs gain. This is especially true for the IBS where the mobs are considerably more spongy than usual. Ironically the IBS could have addressed the issue quite efficiently (and would have also addressed the whole "racial elite" topic) with gizmo versions of the faction aids from the allied factions as the two combat transformations both have around 10k DPS. But as things are rn public runs for DS will continue to take (on average) 20-30 min which IMO is far to long given how repetitive the content is and the only thing that even has a chance to have an impact on this is the Mechanist depending on how strong the mech ends up being and how many people pick it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgkmaxymus.9321 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I still hope ANET does something. This guy had 3-4 accounts parked at the waypoint (and there were some other AFKs there too). More at prisms and skyscales flying over the battlefield. They take spots of people who could... IDK... PARTICIPATE?! https://imgur.com/a/Rg51dNJ For real, I am almost joining them, since ANET doesn't do anything. They can AFK all the way in and just run to the prism at the last second to get the participation/chest. The fight takes 15-20 minutes. Reduce the bosses health pool or get rid of these idio...s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKRathalos.9625 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I honestly prefer the healthpool after they try to fix things, where ryland and braham melt so fast. That's sweet spot for dragonstorm. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
