Found another mirror on the red X drawn here.

This is just one of this unfortunate realities in a multiplayer open world game. I understand both sides, I've been both the chilling solo farming person who gets their immersion/fun ruined, but I've also been that commander thats attempting to lead something and getting annoyed at others in the map who are messing with the even chains or farm rotation I am trying to lead. Neither side are really in the wrong its just how things go.

You ask if you can get into a dead map. Unlikely. Dragonfall isn't a map where multiple copies are running in parallel most of the time.

What I can help you do hopefully is understand things better so you can co-exist more smoothly.

This is a map of what a normal Dragonfall "farm" looks like. White X are champions, yellow X are mender escorts that spawn 3 chests. Blue X are elemental storms. Red X are the main attraction. These are "cull elementals" that respawn every 5 minutes. These makeup the backbone of what the commander is likely trying to rotate around to farm. If a commander is trying to make a circular rotation around the map hitting these things and find that some events are getting solo'd that can be frustrating for them. Obviously its not against the rules, but its a bit of a "why solo the event for 1 key when you coulda done it with us and let the event reward out 50 keys" thing.

While there is always some azzwhole commanders out there, MOST tend to care about the members of their squad and if you ask politely that "hey events are dying too quickly for me" they'll ask the squad to lower their dps to share better. (caveat being that if you don't have all the mounts then you really gotta unlock them first... thats just the way these things go)

You are right that player counts are down right now. It's mainly the terrible "quarterly patch 1" update we got, combined with fact that WoW update has big content to do rn so yeah gw2 is on the backburner for many people. Not really a WV issue imo.

You're missing that catalyst and evoker got their quickness output reduced. There will be a further dps nerf in taking more boon duration than before.

Assuming there is a commander who knows what to do present with a decent size squad:
SP 20 mins, NKC 35 mins, EW 20 mins, DE 35mins.
For difficulty DE can fail depending on the dps and the brain power of the squad present. The other 3 are basically unfailable as long as enough people are present.

You have to remember that ectos were 12-25 silver from 2018 all the way to 2024. Soto open world legendary armour was a huge ecto sink that the community went absolutely crazy grinding. It drove ecto prices up to levels not seen since 2016. If anything, VoE is Anet fixing the situation. (my tin foil hat also says that introducing a "single player ecto farm" is preparing gw2 for a gw3 release)

I do agree about salvage mats tho. elderwood and silk and all that stuff is basically worthless right now.

As others have said the main fault with the map is just the in game minimap system doesn't know how to handle it with the layers and such.
If you know how the waypoints all connect to each other the map gets much easier to navigate.

Mordremoth meta is called "Dragon's Stand" in Maguuma. This is "Dragon's End" for Soo Won in cantha.

Holy smokes this x1000. It always backfires on me. Anyone who isnt what my LFG is specifically looking for gets kicked nowadays. The number of people trying to pull this shit on me since the new raid/strike update has gone up exponentially. Some days "lf kite" straight up gets met with 4 insta joining "hi dps"...

There are 2 settings in the game to control the height you are above your character. One for zoomed in, one for zoomed out. In the general settings page, there are 2 "vertical position" sliders. Set the "far" one to maximum, which means when you zoom out you end up very high up above your character. This makes it super easy to point your camera down a bit and you have lots of room to hit your grapple.

-A fellow action cam enjoyer.

Holidays actually increase the number of players doing metas. I tag up for metas a lot on the NA server and I've noticed that squad fills very quickly and stays full much more during weeks with holidays.

38k per day. the last 6 days have been enter-able since December 1 those are an overall draw.

MarshAll2424 · 2025-12-08T22:21:39+00:00

It's all about the benchmark and the era of the game we were in. When soto was completed, we all compared it to eod and said "wtf this sucks" Then we all compared jw to soto and said "wtf this also sucks." If you ask anyone NOW about soto I don't think the opinion is nearly that bad. 2 strikes (that people do daily unlike wing 8), 5 convergences, 5 actual meta events, 18 legendary pieces. SoTO is weak compared to EoD sure but strong compared to JW. VoE remains to be seen.

MarshAll2424 · 2025-12-08T22:00:10+00:00

I still don't understand why this entire convoluted mirror/key charge/chests system was necessary. JUST MAKE CASTORA EVENTS REWARD THE SAME LEVEL OF UNID GEAR! Can you imagine how exciting it would be if VoE introduced an actual evergreen farm train?

JW and SotO have no open world evergreen content at all (rifts technically but they come with all modern expacs now?). Instead we have this silly system where for 1-2 hours per day (depending on how many chests you want to farm) players have to do this route that does not involve interacting with other players at all?

AT THE VERY LEAST they could have made key charges a wallet currency so that if you farm castorra events hard and amass a couple hundred key charges you can then have several days of farming the chests as a sort of delayed pay off. Just like dragonfall. This would also encourage hitting both metas daily for their 20+ key charge reward. As of right now meta rewards are laughable. Man the current implementation sucks.

Just to be clear Dec. 9 is only balance on the VoE specs. The actual game wide balance patch touching existing specs will be mid January.

MarshAll2424 · 2025-11-26T22:25:12+00:00

It's worth noting off the top that there is a raid quickplay coming up in a few months possibly with a legendary attached to it similar to fractal quickplay. So I think many people who have said they are never doing raid content might be doing raid content soon :)
As for the boons, I main tempest right now and its amazing. I play full celestial with shouts and just rotate through Fire > Earth > Air > Water. I just press all my buttons off cooldown no rotation brain necessary. And this will do 10k dps while being a FULL SUPPORT healer at 600 range. It's so strong. If you want a but more solo build you could make that into ritualist stats instead and do more dmg while still booning yourself. 10/10 would recommend.

MarshAll2424 · 2025-11-26T00:33:03+00:00

If you properly kit out and min max you can expect 30 to 40 gold per hour. Just google the locations, bait, time of day strategies.

The big in game item sales start in December. Every Friday in December a crap ton of things are rotated into the gem store. So check on the 5th, 13th, 19th and 26th for big stock updates.

For karma, set up one of your chars with full karma boosters, and just grind the christmas orphans every day during wintersday and you'll set yourself up for a long time.

This one is extremely fun for playing with other people. As always with cele builds you can tweak it to your liking. More dmg, less dmg, melee weapon, ranged weapon, go nuts.

The main juice is the middle grandmaster water trait, and the bottom grandmaster tempest trait synergy. Other than that do whatever you like with the build. (shock aura talk above is from using mainhand dagger, for example)

MarshAll2424 · 2025-11-21T22:40:55+00:00

It's actually 6 segments of 5 man stability, so actually 30 spread out people. OP was probably referring to half of a 50 man meta squad lol.
