suprised not seeing Dragon's Stand - Mordremoth - in the top spots, but understand your podium and reasons...the concert deserves first spot just because it's not combat but still up there!
Nothing can beat that first time experiencing DragonStand in the glory days. It is till this day my favorite meta-event in the whole game. Too bad it's an instantkill with the current powercreep
Yeah it's real bad with current power creep, and sadly I never played it at its glory. I can't remember why at this point, but stopped playing mid HoT and didn't come back until well into LWS4, so that would be why it's not on my list. It just feels tedious to do at this point, lol
keeping triple trouble out other meta can fail but u will always find successful or a good try in looking 4 group, but if u randomly go in maps there maybe no attempt, u gotta have to use that looking 4 meta option or prime time
Nice review of your initial experiences with these meta events, but I'd be interested to know what the current state of the game is for new players just getting to all of the old existing meta events, and what the success and participation rates are for those events, now that most veteran players have moved on to newer content. We all know that Tequatl rarely fails these days due to power creep and the popularity of that event which keeps enough players coming to it, at least during the peak hours of game play. Similarly, the Octovine and Chak Gherant events in Heart of Thorns still remain very popular and well populated during peak hours, but what about the rest? Which meta events are failing to succeed due to low participation and what are the chances that new players will be able to find a map instance that has a chance of succeeding for some of the less popular meta events? Is Soo Won getting defeated anymore, or does that meta event mostly fail now that End of Dragons is two expansions in the rear mirror? I'd like your opinion on these thoughts, as I am not currently playing these meta events, but I'm thinking of experiencing all of GW2 again from a new account in the near future, to see what the experience is like for new players.
Living world map meta events are somehow harder to find people do with it, unless its prime times. But for example currently return to living world 4 event is going on, and all living world 4 maps are full with people and its great. Also some maps give more reward than others, for example dragonfall meta is almost always played on some instance. You can find people for most metas with just LFG.
Did Soo Won recently, some of old metas are still popular even without "return to...." events,but some are just not doable anymore without organized group (triple trouble).
@@sosinka007 But if you are early, finding a LFG group that does Triple Trouple tends to be possible. At least in EU there's a guild doing them most evenings i think
