Guild Wars 2

So far I’m on Project 7 and loving the gauntlet so far. This gives an opportunity for people to do something incredibly difficult for a reward to show off that they’re good players. For those of you saying it’s impossible, the final boss has been defeated by every class now. The only fault for not succeeding in the gauntlet is your own, and you’ll have to deal with that.

The only challenge that I didn’t get done on the first try on my Warrior was the Pirates, and that took roughly 10 tries to do. Had to plan which order to kill, what to dodge, and get an order of rallying myself by strategically keeping at least one pirate around 5% health. Great learning experience and made me rethink my character almost entirely, making me a better player in the process. Can’t wait to reach the last boss and get that mini!

hmm 10 tries on the pirate may mean you’re going to have a bad time when you meet sweet sweet liadri. It’s not really the class favoritism that people have a problem with though, It’s the poor design (low fps, buggy bosses, unfair arenas (some arenas are easier/better than others) not the mention the extremely poor timing system i.e. the announcer who you can hear the count down from the ones right next to you and extremely vague on how much time is left until the last 5 seconds. You’ll see what I mean soon.

Okay, so I should find which arena is the best for the fight and put my graphics on lowest settings. Thanks.

Also, here are really simple solutions off of the top of my head for your issues:

- If you have low FPS, lower your settings or upgrade your computer
- If bosses are being buggy you can guest to another server or simply try again
- If an arena is better than another… then go to the better arena.
- The timing system can be dealt with a full Berserker setup and doing the right things at the right time by either practice or learning of so elsewhere

Not beating around the bush, I’m pretty much annoyed with the amount of whining and ‘give up’ mentality going about the forums. The gauntlet is possible, you can do it, and you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.

-HD 7870, not highest end but surely I don’t believe it is low end.
-Buggy bosses are on all servers. It happens whenever there is long queue and people are fighting different bosses, both people enter or the last boss stays and you end up fighting two bosses. Waste people’s money, ticket and time.
-Why are the arenas not all fair? That just means that people will crowd around the better ones and much longer queue times.
-No idea what timing system you’re referring to so i’ll leave this one alone.

The people who say it’s impossible we know it is not true, but the design of the arena is hugely flawed and it shouldn’t require players to “work around” or “compensate” for unintended difficulties.

You are attacking my solutions as if you found a problem with them. They are solutions, and they will work. I can see you are in a blind, zealous approach to giving in to a rebellious internet cause because there are minor bugs in a temporary video game event, so throwing any more logic your way won’t really do much.

If people can’t find solutions to very minor problems around the gauntlet, then they aren’t really smart enough to make it that far anyways. I see no issue.

Edit: Try putting your game to ‘Window Fullscreen’. My game went from stuttering laggy to perfectly non-laggy and smooth.

Thank you arenanet!
Its refreshing to have some fun and difficult content for solo players. I mostly do WvW, so I don’t care as much about pve side. But this minigame was a fun distraction .
Thank you and maybe move this to WvW after the event? Make a duel area for wvw servers? Bottom for small mans and top gauntlets for 1vs1? Just make it a bit bigger.

Bosses have been confirmed to be defeated by all classes. Achievements have not been confirmed by all classes which cripples new or single class players which do not have access to a library of Alts.
