Guild Wars 2

First of all I know there are already some topics like this one, but I really gotta do my part and share the frustration, of course this achievement is hard, and of course a low % of players already did it, and I’m not saying to A-net “NERF” it, but why… why can’t you make it PLAYABLE? Let me list some stuff:

.You have to deal with deadly multifactors in battle, which some details will be more than enough to kill you
.You have a time limit, 2 min I guess
.You have to throw EIGHT orbs within this low time limit, and kill her after doing so
.Shadows fall do have a pattern, but that won’t matter much in phase 2 since its half the screen, and you got so much stuff going on you’ll basically not seeing it right
.Throwing 3 orbs in phase 1 is really ok, and yet sometimes I die because I do try to do it fast because of what? the TIME limit of course, but in phase 2 it becomes a pain in the kitten
.That rift, oh my god that RIFT, its BUGGED to any ranged atk (that’s not aoe) and you have like 2 seconds to react to it, and yes it RANDOM spawns in the arena, and even if it’s not random, chances are you’ll not be close to melee it when it spawns

Now to the MOST not awesome FRUSTRATING stuff in this battle that I actually can’t believe it, far worst than the previous ones…

.Whenever you make an orb appear, you have like maximum of 8 seconds to trow it at Liadri! I mean, really? less than 10 seconds so it doesnt disappear!?! In phase 2 its = HELL
also not mentioning when you’re auto attacking Liadri and your F doesn’t work properly so you have to press it like 3 times to get the orb!
.C A M E R A, whose idea was to make this BUBBLE ARENA? You guys tested it? Were you satisfied with the camera? Because I doubt that any single player with a BRAIN would think this camera is good, or at least “ok”, when I’m in center screen its already bad, when I’m near the edges I’d better close my eyes or be blind because its the same thing.
.Not instanced… yeah thanks for an arena that not only it’s not instanced but it’s in an OVERFLOW LAGGED TO DEATH map! I never managed to get it without overflow and even if I did so, it would look the same, because there are 900 players inside and 900 monsters below me, my pc is not great I assume that, but it plays without lag, in medium graphics in 95% of gw2 normal maps, now that pavilion, if I do wanna have a chance with Liadri, i have to set my graphics to zero and 1024×768 resolution and STILL I do lag, because it’s not instanced and with alot of players + monsters + events going on below me.

Sorry if I did sound exagerated in some stuff, but it’s exactly how I feel about fighting Liadri and trying to do the Light up the Darkness achievement, I already studied her, watched alot of videos, tried alot of builds, foods, etc, and the best I could make in hundreds of tryings was 5 orbs, almost to 6, and also got kicked by time limit in one of these tryings, now because of the time limit I do try to rush every time i go in it, and more mistakes happen… it’s a nightmare. :/

Try being color blind. Her 2 second red ring warnings are practically invisible against the floor. Throw that in with horrible camera angles and I simply can not even play against her.

Might as well try beating her with your eye’s closed.

The F button not working correctly was the most annoying part for me… 1/4 of my tickets were lost to that…

Oh and just because it can’t be repeated often enough: No sensitive timing challenge above a zerg pit next time! Thank You!

too long, didn’t read
but it’s painfully obvious at this point that they couldn’t care less about their customers
they want you to play the way they want you to play

log in, faceroll, grind, get shinies
attempt to deviate by enjoying the game for what it’s worth is asking to get spat upon

couldn’t get to your computer today?
well here’s a simple substitute for playing Liadri
hand cuff yourself and try to get out without breaking your hand
or simply break your hand to make it easier on yourself, same difference, just as fun
by the way, that’s sarcasm.. i certainly don’t condone anyone harming themselves

GW2 has a lot of content that requires you to see the AoE. If your color blindness affects you that much then GW2 is prolly not the game for you. It’s not just Liadri.

Color blindness doesn’t make the color invisible. The FLOOR is the problem. That rusted floor color blends makes the aoe circles blend in and I can see how it’s hard for someone that’s color blind. Hell I’m not color blind and even I had trouble seeing them.

I am not color blind and I have great difficulty seeing the red circles. I don’t have that issue anywhere else in the game, so I can only assume it’s because the flooring is grated and the circle consistency is so broken up it’s difficult to make out when it’s there.

I like how if there’s noone around to revive you, you have to pay for the waypoint and run back up! You lose money and you lose time.

You could say you can pick a dome where there are people BUT a) if there’s just you and one more person, you can’t revive each other because there won’t be enough time for it; b) if there are more people, you have to wait for your turn (while your food boons etc. tick away).

I’ve had about 60 attempts at Liadri now (engineer) and I’m about to give up – not as much because of the fight (30% best attempt) but because of the incredibly tedious corpse runs and repairs.

I’m colorblind and i already gave up >_>
The circles are pretty much invisible for me.

The real issue is that you don’t even get a title when you finally do get the achievement =X

IMO the biggest issue is the Orbs being “obstructed” when you try to shoot them with a ranged weapon. I mean, seriously? >.<
