Steel Canyon Fire event

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

Faster than waiting on the backpack, though. 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.)

I tried to combine Circle and DE, but all I got were garden variety evil mages.
