Guild Wars 2

This content release is both awesome and the first thing that has made me consider I need a break from this game.

The good

1. The new zone is awesome. I hope part of it is converted to permanent jp.
2. Lightning, Sun and Wind crystals and the powers they grant
3. Sky crystal hunt was/is extremely fun
4. Sanctum sprint is fun even if the best spot for me is still third
5. Achievement rewards

All this made first days really enjoyable. For me this shares the best content spot with halloween and christmas releases as far as temporary content goes.

The nerve wrackingly bad

1. Adnul
2. Kite in Obsidian sanctum

Seriously I rage quit more than once with Adnul before I finally lucked out. It was not because of skill at all. It was pure luck that I beat him. There is basic pattern to his abilities which allows you to easily get him down to 10-20% of health but there is also completely random aspect which is enough to make it purely luck based.

As for the kite. I have never hated WvWvW more than I do now. I went from “hey WvWvW can be fun at times” to “If I ever have to step into WvWvW again it will be too soon”. I spent hours over a few days getting repeatedly ganked and when I finally got past the dark room the game decided it was time for some balance nonsense and booted me out to LA. I still don’t have that stupid kite achievement which means I can’t complete the overall kite achievement (I’m missing the fractal one as well).

I’ve experienced bad content releases and they never gave me urge to quit. Now this is a content release I consider good in pretty much all aspects but it actually has two so overwhelmingly bad features I felt urge to actually uninstall GW2. Something I thought would never happen and over amazingly little thing. I’m sure I have cooled down already enough tomorrow but now it’s definitely break time.
