I’m hoping the finale will give us a small mini dungeon or an actual ’’Difficult’’ boss like tequatl/Triple wurms. The current update is yet again mindless zerging and pressing 1, overwhelming the enemy NPC’s and spamming the loot key right after. While the thought of saving citizens is nice, it doesn’t help as much as to just drone around in a zerg and complete events.

A missed chance in my opinion!

1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1.
The sad part is that it’s not even a big zerg, was done during the night.

Anyone get a repetitive motion injury from spamming 1, because you can’t even move the skill on your bar?

Erm… I set mine to auto attack. I only have to press it once each time the enemy I’m focused on dies. One of the advantages of Ranger-tagging over Guardian-tagging I guess.

Press 1 once. Collect bags!

And you are the reason that zones are not getting to 1500 citizens saved. You may consider not fighting a boss to be easy combat, but until you show an image of over 1500 saved then you are not playing the event correctly. It is your choice to midlessly zerg and press one, so it is also your choice that you are failing at achieving the highest reward/beating the event.

Yes. As if individual skilled mattered in large scale zerging.
Remember the marionette fight? Remember 4/5, Bearbows and other not so good players failing the event?

Exactly. These events are too large scaled for a single individual to make any change. I’ve tried the events quite a few times with good builds to contribute, but in the end it doesn’t matter since there are hunderds of other players autoattacking.

GG… PTV and Melandru…????… no wonder the Miasma events are taking so long. My lvl 6 Guardian is actually doing more than you! btw… where’s the food buff’s? Come on cheapskate, you have 410g buy some food and help more! Get some Carrot Souffle on you…. zeesh

At least you’re smart enough to bring in Guardians, I’ll give you that. But, I’d like to see much more control and wall of reflection in there. For the love of God all guardians should be spamming Empower and tactfully using Line of Warding too. It’s not just 111111111… Don’t even give the impression that that is ok.

And this is why we have zergs, get 15 people that think individual contribution wont matter, so they stack on a commander and press 1. What is funny is that you bash on zergs, but then contribute to the problem causing a zerg. gg.

The problem with this update is that it punishes players by going in alone. An example is the huge cannon that fires on you whenever you move away from the blob. Another point is that stuff gets extremely upscaled. Even with a good build your contribution will not make an difference, so why should one bother doing so? If ANet wanted to fix blobbing they should punish zergs with the cannon instead of single players. That way they’ll break up.

They should had done what they did during the Queen’s Pavilion, let the less skilled players zerg below and add challenge arenas above.

Aye, it’s a shame. I’m hoping for some challenging content next. Preferably something along the lines of the pavilion/liadri fight. Maybe a new dungeon path, but that would be wishful thinking.

just like everyone else does!

Well, I don’t. I’m running with my normal fractal stuff, ascended celestial / berserker. I can kill veterans or elites solo, no problem. First day after the patch, I got enought blade parts to craft new ascended back. I’m also not 1111-ing everything, but using all my skills, meteorshowering and icestormfrostbowing everything, but np. I can deal with it. Leechers will always be in games. Previously full-magic-find sets, now PVT sets…

I am sorry to say but WHAT the heck?!?! you have 2k gems 400 gold and not one 20 slot crafted bag, no bag expansion slots open, no WvW siege, only 1 set of armor/weapons

this tells me you are missing out on at at least 70% of the game.

but grats on having a decent amount of gold and gems please go get some bags so you can hold more stuff!

Sincerly, Me.

I have 12 bank tabs almost filled completely with stuff for various encounters, thank you very much.

Like i said, this guy is a roamer and thus doesn’t need extraordinary amounts of space.
