Scarlet Gorge Fire Invasions Missing?

[AlexTrickle]

I don't know whether this was pure chance or whether we used a clever trick. 6/7 of the achievement hunters in my guild all went to scarlet and closed every rift we could - then went to every tear and opened a fire rift using fire PA lure. 10 minutes later and The Crucible pops, never seen so many 50s descend on a level 30 something invasion, lots of people missed at least one boss as they died so quick but we split our party and bannered each boss so we got tags on both!

yep> and I force spawned 2 greater events in Droughtlands back to back too, just didnt happen to be the one I needed :/

[AquaSquirrel]

That is why I always had my guildmates AFK in SG instead of meridian. It worked quite well on wolfsbane as we popped it nearly every 2-3 days.

[Fridge-RaideR]

guess we gotta afk there, had 25-28 people in scarlet gorge clearing rifts for over an hour.. no zone event

[Feine]

Really think that zone events spawning should not be linked to zone population. People will always be chasing the events for achievements. If you spawn it, they will come.

Also, would like to suggest this again as a possible solution.

Hey all - so I can't give out the exact answer to 'how long do we wait?', because honestly there's a lot of factors in how it works. But I can re-iterate that the zone events are randomly chosen from a pool based on requirements, with a considerable cooldown time between events.

This is something else that's bumped up on my list of stuff to look at (along with making that event start up easier/more frequent).

And here I was about to post Day 13 :P

20 players is a ridiculous amount to expect to spawn this invasion in SG. Especially since I know Systematic Destruction has spawned with only 10 players in the zone.

Ridiculous amount of people needed to spawn is all...

[Kazenokami]

Yeah... 20 people in SG at any given time is way too much coordination for a "random chance to spawn the correct invasion". This isn't HK, where getting 20 for 3 hours is difficult enough for some guilds, and you're asking us to go "sit in SG doing nothing for an unspecified amount of time for the chance to spawn an invasion that may not be the one you want to spawn", oh, and then to top this off, you're probably going to have to do it twice because it's hard to kill both bosses in one shot of the invasion.

Your response is very much appreciated, Daniel, and thank you for putting this on your radar. I hope you understand how frustrating this has been for us achievement chasers. What's it been, 9 months since head start? And no sign of the one invasion many of us need to complete the final cascade of Planes achieves. I complete all of the others months ago and had all but given up hope.

I hate "Systematic Destruction". Last few days there's been several zone events in SG. Every single one of them was that. ....grrrrr

*delete this, misread Tisker's post :P*

[Zerosum]

Well, pleasantly surprised. It's probably more because of luck and pure coincidence. Patched 1.7, logged in and within a min guess which 'rare' SG event starts. Hoof it over closing rifts on my way around the zone til both bosses pop. Both pop were nearby so I ended up solo tanking them (in my dps only spec/gear too) til the rest of the server shows up. Hahaha... Another 2 mins and I would have ended up killing them both too.

On an unrelated note, the ember isle events hasn't been 'nerfed' had they? The reason I'm asking was on any given night, we would see 3 or more over prime time hours. Yesterday, one EI event the whole night. Was just surprised. I was paying extra attention as I wanted to actually see crystal and stone changes.

WHERE IS THE COLOSUS AIR EVENT IN SHIMMER?

Which one?

There's Aurispus 'Serpent Storm' Which is very common. Then Steetos, again quite common.

Derinku the Earth Boss from 'Scourge of the Sands' has finally been moved into the Earth Plane tab, he has always been in Air for some strange reason.

[Calmethar]

Only been missing the fire one forever here.

Staying 20+ people in the zone seems to take quite some time though :/
