Guild Wars 2

The experience heavily depends on what class some people play. For me it was fun, for others maybe not so much. What needs to be improved in the future for such content is accessibility and QA.

Accessibility – I’m ok with the tickets costing some money, i’m ok with repair costs, but I’m not really ok with the queue’ing or walking back and forth after every loss. Difficult content like 5 gambit achievement or Liadri, need practice. I think more people would be fine with retrying the fight until they get it if the downtime for every retry was shorter. If anyone has played Super Meat Boy you’d know what I’m talking about here. Challenging is fine, but let the players re-attempt the fights without too much hassle and waiting time.

Another issue which really keeps some players out of even attempting some fights is camera and visual issues. If Gauntlet ever comes back please make the floor opaque white or black or whatever so red circles can be visible to some folks out there. The fight isn’t about testing people’s eyesight after all?

I’m not going to nitpick on FPS issues due to the events going on underneath your feet, that could be bypassed by playing on lower settings.

QA – using 6 tickets on 5 gambits then go into a fight only to find out someone else came in with you, with another opponent. Dunwell + Liadri no less…it was hilarious, but that’s still 6 tickets and 2 dead people making their way back up to the back of the queue. Also sometimes the queue doesn’t work…so after you waited 3 people and get “it’s your turn to fight” but then it never happens and you see someone else go in, so you realize “oh i’m bugged” and relog and use another ticket….it drives people nuts.
