I’m not eng. So forgive any grammar error or misspelling u could find in the following text.
This update seems to make everyone happy.
Casual can farm downstairs, hardcore can farm upstairs.
Everyone get his drops and elitist may claim they beated liandri showing their minipet.
But is this what we wanted ?
The lower level event is actually a mindless zerg. We were so proud of gw2 being a game of huge spaces explorables and we are all closed in a 20 mq area where all we have to do is a mindless zerg among champions with enough time to sell things to the merchant who is in the middle.
WOW. Really ? Is it all here? It is but since everyone is blinded from the drops they do not realize how dangerous this could be. I’m non claiming economy is screwed up from this since it’s not. The huge amount of lodestone actually made the middle tier of weapons beetween exotic and legendary doable from quite everyone.
I pity whoever got this destroyer lodestone 2 weeks ago or whoever went on holiday and will find his bank full of things whose value is half what he left.
Anyway the problem with the lover level one is that devs could think that since we appreciated a lot this kind of event they could provide more similar one.
Mindless Korean Farming Zerg.
Is this what we want ?
I don’t think so., GW2 is a game that never needed farming if not for some very elitist things. U could do yuour wvw and earn enough karma to get the same equip another guy could obtain from crafting or trading post or drop.
so in my own humble opinion the lower level event is non only stupid but dangerous.
Let’s come to the upper one.
Actually i did not complete liandi yet. At best of my luck i moved her to 20%.. maybe less.
Yes, luck. There is no skill at all involved with liandi just luck. The luck of having the perfect combination of orb spawning and circle.
But it’s how it is designed. It requires skills but even luck.
The upper level event is dangerous too. People like me, who love to achieve complex task are more interested in this kind of issue.
I completed fractal till 48 (even if i can open till 37)
I did my dungeon master
I 1000 both dark soul and demon soul.
All things which require skill. Not luck.
The upper level require both. And this is the problem.
The difficult level is faked adding a luck component which could be ok but dev could start using the same tactic for other events.
Moreover the huge amount of bugs like the camera or the floor still open , or the presence of two bosses at the same time makes it really hard to play.
Devs got lots of bad decision regarding upper level :
the skin on the floor, the queue, the randomness are problems but the dangerous one is the gold sink.
the gold needed to got tickets (oh yes u could obtain them easy farming the mindless zerg) and the distance from the ress point.
sure u could find ppl ressing you but the more ppl are there the longer the queue.
If just 2 ppl are doing an arena one can’t ress the other since it’s called inside
Should this kind of gold sink linked to hard task ? One could be a skilled one and not have lots of money or not enough time to farm the zerg too..
I do not like this event.
liandi drove me crazy and i’m really quite to leave the game since it made me nervous (i know it’s a game and all but still…)
but this is not the point.
Is this were gw2 is going?
Is this ok for you all ?
sorry for my english
