Anchors - Public Group Content
I understand the PvE lore reasoning behind the Anchors etc etc.
I'm more interested in the PvE combat aspect of the Anchors.
Do these things scale at all? To me they don't appear to, in the slightest, and I've done anchors all the way through Coldharbour without any perceived increase in difficulty between there being 4 people or 20 people completing the event.
I also feel that a MASSIVE opportunity was lost by a)only spawning these in specific locations and b)once they spawn, they don't appear to have any effect on their surroundings or send out 'raiding parties' from these portals.

They sure don't seem to scale. They seem to be getting easier and easier for me to do. I don't think I have ever gotten any loot at all from any of these. Even when it was me and two other players we all got nothing. What a waste of time. Unless you are going to give me something I am not really going to waste my time. Even some minor loot like gold or trash would be welcome. But nothing? Good luck.1

Maybe I'm just under-impressed with what could have been done with these events.
I envisioned raiding parties coming from these portals and actually siege major cities where players would get a taste of Cryo, having to fend off invaders and needing to repair walls.
Comparing games is typically taboo but Rift at least had these raiding parties go take over quest hubs - which was awesome.0 -
hackerssuck✭✭Rift nailed it with raiding parties spawning from rifts. MMOs "borrow" so much form each other. You'd have thought these guys would have "borrowed" too.0
