Guild Wars 2

It was frustrating, challenging, and I enjoyed it. Plus, you get a guaranteed exotic at the end. I hope for more fun AND rewarding content in the future, I really enjoyed the tower.

I hope not. Its a waste of developers time.

I dont care about difficulty level and frustration/fun but i care about that this kind of content is basically one-time minigame completely not attached to main game (out of place).

I think this kind of content should not be ‘abused’ in MMO’s.
This game isheavily instanced and i think that making even more instanced minigames that are disconnected from main world will not help game longevity.
I would prefer that they do 5 more events in open PvE world to make world more livind and varied that waste time for one time ‘fun tower’.

In short words: i dont play MMO’s for instanced, cheap super mario bros wannabe ripoffs.

And if AN want to do this kind of content they can basically port Super Mario to the game – it will be faster and far better that content like Clockwork Tower.

I dont even mention a fact that as almost everything in GW2 is very poorly tested and the engine and camera in GW2 is not very friendly for this kind of content (timed, very fast runs). Its not a console game.

My 2 cents.

I second the OP, this was great fun, and wonderfully executed. Joking about with the other players and laughing when we messed up, the adrenaline fuelled rush through the chaos to get there, and the joy of achieving something difficult when I finally got to the end.

Would do it all again :p

If you enjoy a false sense of difficulty combined with staring at half-naked Charrs for 5 hours, then sure.
