Snarky Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Been to a few of these today. need 11 more F-ing fires out. Place is swarmed today. Luckily I made it onto a couple teams. Teams who believe the event is about putting out the fire. And they do so. In about 4 minutes flat. GRRRRRRR I mean, great job heroes. Schmucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougGraves Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 That is a world event problem. I love the world events in GW2, but they have event chains. And in some cases people need events to fail for a badge or they want events to fail because it leads to more events. So you end up with people arguing over whether to succeed or fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, the single time I ever did one of these, there was only two other people on it. And I don't think I've ever passed one in progress and seen anyone doing it. That one low level Mercy mission where you fire bomb a building is more fun anyway, badges not withstanding.

I only started doing them a couple months ago on a few badgers. Sometimes (50% ish) I am solo. other times it is a madhouse. When it is busy I get a team 85% time. But some folks have msgs off, or are maybe kids, or w/e and do not team. (or they have me on ignore lol) I did get the badge on this toon. I have only chased it 4-5 times in my entire CoH career, all recently. Been hanging with badgers. it is a sick obsession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidge Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 When I'm trying for "Open World Badges (solo)", I usually try to do them during the Halloween event when players tend to congregate in Peregrine Island for ToT leagues. There are a handful of badges that are much easier to get during that time while players are button mashing in other zones. For example, capturing Spectral Pirates in Port Oakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srmalloy Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Something I did the other day just to see if it would work. Which it does, but it has to be almost the most inefficient use of powers available: DP Blaster shooting Cryo ammo to put out a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you can do AOEs. Also nice with other ice and water powers. (I have an Ice/Ice sentinel who, canonically, prefers fire fighting - it's "cleaner" than some of the other 'hero' situations and she's had more than her share of fighting.)

fitzsimmons Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I was working on one solo and I thought I was being smart by letting the fires build up. Turns out I wasn't that smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
