For anyone wondering this is what the new events look like

[Crusader81]

the pic shows my gear.. I'm using Apoc with VW PDT- gear..

A whm and me from LS went out and tried to duo, I can kill one just fine, that's not the issue, the aggro range for everything is as large as the accepted range to do the Reive..
I've accidently wondered out and before I even see the warning it's over.. I'm outside range and it takes my status for 10 mins. It's ridiculous

Anyhow we wiped in about 10 secs when everything in the area aggro'd me the whm wondered out and lost status and couldn't raise me.

at that point he said "this isn't fun at all.." to which we both agreed we lost all the excitement for wanting to play for the night, and are going to do other things.

To all you guys defending this crap, this is really how you want the game to be on the first Fri since release?

The game should have no higher interest than tonight and I'm not seeing very many ppl even on or interested after dying a ton.

I can see needing an alliance or party when doing a battlefield.. but this is walk up and engage content out in the field. It shouldn't be like this.

Total let down.

[Found it!], there's your problem >.> At least 10 mobs and some walls. In 99 content . You thought you could duo? >.> This isn't easy mode Aby anymore. It's not hard to do a shout and get some people, that's how I ended up in an alliance for this, going around beating down every reive we ran into. Suck it up, it's not that difficult to find some people and use teamwork/strategy instead of thinking you can just DD + Whm everything.

Agreed, rieves aren't content that you get a party together to take on, they aren't even like campaign battles where you can actively seek out the area to fight and organise people to go there, this is just something you come across in the wild and jump in on but the difficulty is scaled to the point where you need to get organised with a group for something that you might come across on your journey and not many people travel in groups anymore they generally shout for content and go meet at it.
