Guild Wars 2

Time for a feedback thread.

Ok first of all, I only played the new Thaumanova Reactor Story mode and I can only give Feedback to this one, but this thread should be one for the entire Fractured Update.

So going to the Thaumanova Reactor. Most of us have voted for Kiel and we are getting the Thaumanova Reactor, well some have been against it because Abaddon would be epic but I think Abaddon would be too epic for Fractals, it wouldn’t fit for the Fractal model.

Ok in the Reactor we have portals, all sorts of enemies and a few puzzles. I like the puzzles and the fact we have a good variety of enemies, but what I really like are the two bossfights. The Ooze was funny because he went from really big to tiny and there are also mechanics that punish brain afk punching. The second one was also good. Killing the floors instead of just attacking us and at the end it could be difficult for all to still stand on the plattforms, because there are many Aes killing plattforms, players are getting debuffs killing platforms and we have a laser also killing platforms. Anets ideas are getting better and better, but they should test their updates, I don’t want to relog everytime I’m dead.

Now to the Story. There are good and bad thing about the story, first the bad one. Scarlet. Seriously Anet, if you want us to recognise her as a good villian, don’t press her in all existing content. It feels like she doesn’t belong here. Ok but one positive thing about Scarlet. She sounded less childike and more serious. Keep this and not the senseless childlike behaviour.
But there is one thing I have to give the story credit. Dessa. First of all, her former krewemates are with the Inquest? And secondly, after the story part. Kiel tried to get her out of the mists, she walked through the gate and what happened? She disappears and appears right next to Kiel without remembering a thing about the fractal. WTF. What is wrong with her? Does she really exist or is she just a part of another fractal? I hope Anet will answer this one in the future.

So this is my first feedback, for this Update and in the future I will also comment on the two new fractals.^^

The combat, the layout, and the idea of the reactor fractal was great. That being said, Scarlet exist, destroy more potential lore for the Asura and the Inquest, and its basically a big finger to loreist. Because of this, I grade this fractal an F- or -00011/10.

Oh and Kiel was being mean to Dessa. She deserve death for this.

Walhalla.5473:

Kiel tried to get her out of the mists, she walked through the gate and what happened? She disappears and appears right next to Kiel without remembering a thing about the fractal. WTF. What is wrong with her? Does she really exist or is she just a part of another fractal?

It implies that Dessa is part of the Fractal. Its her prison.

On the Scarlet issue, thanks to someone giving a screenshot I was able to read the text from her dialogue.
If it is true that she’s not totally responsible for the destruction of the reactor I’ll give ANet kudos there.
Though I honestly did want a pure Asuran moment.
I can at least give them a thumbs up in giving us some background on what Scarlet is doing.

She seems to be interested in the energy lines of Tyria.
That’s honestly more than what I’ve gotten out of most of the releases featuring her lately.
If she’s going to mess around with the energies of a whole planet, that’s somewhat interesting compared to her usual “Mess up a party, teleport baddies in, say something brief, teleport away” shtick we’ve dealt with.

I’ll have to actually play it out to get a better feeling.
