I was fighting my way through a dungeon thinking it was really hard. The mobs I was facing seemed large and the fights hectic. Even got killed a couple of times by bosses. Then I killed the last boss and it told me I had completed the group event.

Oh.

    Oh.

    You were in a Public Dungeon, which is pretty much a group dungeon scale and difficulty. They are really designed to be taken on by a group of players, but they don't have to be grouped to do so. Some public dungeons can be done on level solo, some are most difficult to do so.

    As for the Group Event, there is one Boss in each Public Dungeon that is of this category. They give a Skill Point, some Undaunted Credit (which usually comes from Group Dungeons) and some Achievement Points. They are characterized by waves of mobs before the boss comes out.

    I find them to be a great place to farm for Loot to decon and Gold.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    it's not a Group dungeon, it's a Public dungeon.

    There are 3 tiers.
    solo Delves, the regular ones in the landscape that usually have a skyshard and sometimes a little quest.

    Public dungeons, one per zone that contain a skyshard, several bosses and a Group Challenge worth a skill point.
    They also have achievements associated with the bosses. They were originally intended as informal group content but these days can be soloed easily as well.

    Group dungeons, the ones you do in groups of 4 such as Elden Hollow, Direfrost Keep, Wayrest Sewers, etc.

    Sorry yea that's what I meant. The wording on those confuse me because you get the "group event" achievement after you clear the boss

    Yeah, that sounds right. It was nice to actually face a challenge where I could die even without seriously screwing up. And when facing a mob of 6 (or up to 12 if I was not careful about my boundaries) the fight gets -- as I said -- hectic. :smiley:

    Depends on your class an build for how hard it is to solo them; the test for my builds is how easy it is to solo the group bosses at level in those. Funnily enough my NB is finding things the easiest...

    Group challenge is always public dungeon.
