Rising Event

This spawning/despawning thing happens in other MMOs too, to help space out limited-time events and prevent people from bombarding it on day 1 and never doing it again.

That's why they've staggered this one. Because you *can't* go in there alone and live, you'll get slaughtered. So they had to do it this way to make sure enough people would participate each time.

I was concerned about that too; when I missed it the first time, I was like, "What if the npc spawns again, I go inside, and there isn't enough players to clear the FATEs because of the odd timing? We're screwed!" XD

It can happen. My first go was with one other player into a fresh instance. We managed to kill the Garleans but it wasn't even a contest on the Morbal. Left and got another fresh instance this time with lots of folks and after a bit of carnage and a few deaths was able to finish all the fates. I have no idea how the game is figuring the number of players to only group two as we had a bunch waiting around the recruiter and based on what I saw in the 2nd instance the other servers should have as well.

Dont they have a system where the fate is scaled depending on the amount of players in it? So if somehow over the whole course of the event only a handful of people are in it, they would still be able to clear it if it scales to that. Or they could make it into a duty finder and give tomes as a price and people might just to it just for that. There are many more ways instead of just making something that they did not even communicate with us. (They could have also given more items to farm for thus people need to be there more than once..)

Also tell us when it will pop because casual players dont have the time to wait for hours and hope that it spawns. If you are unlucky you might even miss this one..which never happened to any event before.

Whatever scaling they have is too much for two DPS. While there appeared to be fewer adds when two of us were in the instance the boss was still one hit and your done with a huge health pool. Just a guess but I would say they scaled things for an 8 player group on the low end although 4 may work.

Hm you may be right. But if people already land in nearly empty instances then the feature seems to not be functioning that great either. If they had it there all the time people could at least try when they want to and should still find some people to clear it.
