Guild Wars 2

This event was shipped before it was ready. Then after waiting several days for bug fixes, you instead jumped in and basically destroyed the event with overly-aggressive difficulty boosts.

Very disappointing way to end the living story. I’m just glad/lucky I got to do a few runs before it was nuked. The story and cutscenes were nicely done, which was at least the saving grace.

I’m not sure what’s going on over there, guys, but I really hope you have a different plan for the next living story series, because what you’re doing now is not working.

How is it destroyed?

I have personally seen and completed Scarlet at least one time after each patch (with exception of the first, due to the fields not spawning), and twice today.

So clearly it is still fully possible to complete it.

It’s more hassle, more failure, less rewards. Which for me at least means less fun; your mileage may very.

I don’t like standing around and then spending 15 minutes auto-attacking something in what is really a very boring fight, and then failing the event because a bunch of people don’t even apparently figure out that they’re doing zero damage on one of the other bosses.

I don’t know, last 6 times I’ve done it, both on Mains server and overflow, it has failed.

On the last attempt on main sever, we didn’t manage to down any of the Knights, and I don’t know how that happened. We had 33 at green, 40 at red, and 50 at blue. When that happened I just logged off, but not before seeing some people bailing main server to look for overflows.

The event is a total fail. All I really want to know is how long will this pointless nonsense go on before everything can go back to normal. As things stand this game is suddenly no fun anymore.
