Please make it so that you need to interact once per tome to earn the tome instead of once per event. People just click on one dirt pile and then every subsequent tome takes forever to earn for the people actually playing the event.
The actual enjoyment is dampened a hell of a lot when you sit there digging with 20 AFK people making the event take forever.
Glad my server group n shard ain’t lazy like that
But agreed though yeah
So sorry. Keep your head up.
I’m pretty sure this is already the case. I’ve had my character parked out on the dig site while I work all day, and if I get distracted or get a call and don’t catch the beginning of the event it doesn’t register me as “there” until I get up and start to dig.
THEN it’ll push me a task. I won’t have gotten any of the previous tomes that people achieved in the area either.
I think there might have been a misunderstanding with what I said. You do need to interact at least once at the start to get all of the tomes, but you only need to interact that one time. I’m saying people should have to interact with the event at least once per fill-up bar.
Interacting once at the start and then AFKing bogs down the event by making it think more people are participating and makes the tasks take longer to fill up the bar. This could be alleviated if everyone had to contribute at least one time every bar.
Yeah, ideally it’d be that. Even just having the “you can’t just AFK the entire time and have to hit the boss once” mechanics are a step in the right direction, though.
Now if only there was a way to get people to actually do the tasks they were assigned, or stop DPS on the boss when you’re close to getting a good tome when it pops.
Idk how the event actually works tbh. It feels like it’s based off the amount of people interacting with the dirt pile and not the amount in the general area. I noticed when the boss spawned and I stayed behind to help with the piles, they seemed to scale based on how many people were interacting with it.
Maybe the boss is far enough away that they don’t count though.
The tomes always have the same amount required. You clearly don’t pay attention.
If there’s 100 participants, but only 20 are doing things, you’ll still go just as fast as if there were only 20 participants that were all doing things, the only exception is the initial orders the 80 get that don’t get complete.
What they need to do is increase how often people get told to do things. That’s the real problem. I’ve gone multiple digs without ever being given orders. Considering orders are where the majority of points come from, that needs to be fixed.
If the same amount of orders went out for the feast, it would have never reached epic, let alone legendary.
AFKers should be catapulted away from the event
They should increase the amount of tasks being given out at one time. The guy is constantly spitting out tasks but if there are a lot of people around, you may get a task only once or twice, if at all, during the event.
I’m sorry but the dig thing is super boring while you sit around and wait for tasks. You are basically clicking to emote digging with a shovel and sometimes it takes forever to complete one, or at least it FEELS that way because all you’re literally doing is clicking once and then just looking at a bar slowly fill up. Over and over and over. And over and over and over. Etc. etc. and so on.
And then fix the bugs that make certain tasks impossible to complete.
My dig playlist:
We experience this pretty regularly over in GW2 all the time. It’s one of the reasons why, even though I enjoy a public event every now and then, I have to take breaks from them without getting annoyed with how lazy people are. The open world meta events are pretty easy, but because of how many people just tag and leech the event they end up taking a lot longer than they should (and sometimes even fail).
The way it works in gw2, time = money even moreso in wow, so it just really creates an annoying situation for anyone who is actually trying to get through the event and onto the next. People get maximum rewards for doing literally nothing…cool beans.
