notebene.3190 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Am I reading that correctly? The public version is only available for a week? Follow up question (if applicable): Why? I rather like the public Dragonstorm being available every day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogiepop Void.6473 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) The event is almost undoable as a private instance. It requires EXACTLY 50 people, with perfect coordination. After this week this effectively becomes dead content, as it will be impossible to do with a private group once the whole community isn't running it. It needed to be a standard worldboss, so it was on a regular schedule and had many many more people participating. This fight originally released with Triple Trouble and needs to work the same way. What appears to have happened is that only the bare minimum needed to adjust this to lower player numbers was done. It still really needs 100-150 people to work well, as it doesn't have any adaptations (like fewer platforms based on number of players) to deal with population aside from lowered durability on enemies. Needing EXACTLY 50 to have even a chance for it to work is simply impractical, so once it's only doable with private squads it will simply be undoable at all.

Pipann.6317 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 +1 I haven't joined a public instance yet, but I already heard about successful runs within it. 50 man squads are having a very hard time, even organized (just ran it with a guild, very tough and no wins, but still fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 What time are the public instances? How do you join one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The event is badly signposted due to not being a real world boss. A lot of people aren't even sure where to LFG for it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you need to put it on the same guy when you can just leave it in the pool? Edited July 13, 2021 by Sobx.1758 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Managed to do a pug. Fantastic and fun. Good thing those are going away in a week. 😔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined one just by following the instructions in the mail: I went to the EotN and used the Scrying Pool, which gave me options for both public and private instances. It seems I got lucky on the timing though, when I came out and tried to join another one the only option was a private squad. The first attempt I was part of failed. I think we were short of people, the platform I was on only had 1 other it seemed like 1 platform had no one (and no way for anyone else to get over there). Some of the other lanes had similar problems. But even with that it was close, so I think with a bit more experience it will be cleared consistently. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipann.6317 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just was in a public, and it went miles better than any squad I've been in. Still lost, but 3 out of 5, could have been 4 if it weren't for one platform not getting any players on it. Compare that to the squads I've been in where we broke two chains tops... I was just telling myself people just need to learn the mechanics, but I'm starting to get concerned now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynder.2509 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Yeah, would be nice if it's like Dragonstorm as all lfg groups require LI and other KPs. Managed to join 2 public ones so far and it was going good (despite the fact that in the second join one of the groups failed the platform) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandini.6185 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I hope the public instances will stay after the event, because they are much easier to organise than private ones, and give also more fun. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
