Guild Wars 2

What it really comes down to is “Whelp, I got my achievements so I’m done”.

Marionette was fun, but only when your group didn’t fail. You shouldn’t have to rely on players being good at what they do, because you’ll always have the people that for whatever reason aren’t good enough for the encounter. If it wasn’t for that detail I might be farming Marionette since the rewards are good.

Wurm was different. It was too hard for world content imo. What if you recently bought the game, leveled up to 55 and wanted to do the zone content in that zone ? Then find out that you needed to be level 80, with a specific gear set, with a specific spec. Its not fair for OPEN world content. If you want a raid content then make a raid instance. It reminds me of vanilla wow where I wanted to play a feral druid but couldn’t because druids for Molten Core were Resto only. I do not want to relive that particular era.

I also wanted to point out that I have done Tribulation mode in SAB and managed to kill Liadri so I am not a “casual” player. The only difference between those two instances and this new content is… I only had to rely on MY skills to complete it and not have to rely on other peoples skills.

I’m not sure the reward for farming Marionette is actually good.

The wurm might be good because of the mini, and ascended box is ok. I don’t think the Marionette actually drop those. Much easier to get some rares doing other things.

The rewards are poor for the event, compared to other stuff you can do in GW2.

You get on average 1.5 cyphers per Marrionette event which equals 1.5 rares + 10 greens + a few mats. Total value 40-50 silver. That’s not good.

You could do 3 easy world bosses in that time for 6 rares + greens, probably 1.5 gold.

Or run a dungeon for gold.

Or do fractals for a few gold.

The scarlet invasions were far, far more rewarding, you could get 5-10 gold from those.

PvP is equally as rewarding.

Even WvW may be more rewarding.

You don’t do Marionette for the rewards…

I think you do have a chance to get a mini worth like 10 gold
not sure about ascended

Compared to what I get with doing 1.5 other world bosses its worth it *to me, plus I don’t have to switch characters to get the cyphers.

Tequatl is the only boss that would trump this boss in time spent vs reward gained. Plus you have less chance to fail Tequatl with sub par pugs as long as your defense doesn’t fall and you have enough dps to carry though the burn phases.

Yes dungeons are more rewarding compared to this boss since you get a guaranteed gold where as marionette depends on rng, but for open world content its decent as long as you get good drops on the cypher and your group doesn’t fail.

The worm rewards are really insulting for all the players who gave 2 hours of their time to be prepared for the fight … it should be better than tequatl because this is harder, i don’t undestand … i have better rewards with jumping puzzle, this is ridiculous

Actually i do ! all the chest in the scarlet secret lair are not so bad and the fight against the marionette is a real pleasure (when you’re not on an empty overflow of course …)
