Guild Wars 2

During both the pre and the event you get nothing for the excessive number of mobs that have to be killed.

super lame.

Then go do something else.

If you’re looking for a bunch of random loot drop go tag along on a temple run or whatever it is that drops stuff like that.

Because the only reason to play video games is if it gives you rewards. Definitely nothing else. This is elite content. Same as Tequatl. If you complained about the difficulty of Tequatl, just save your breath.

You can add the fact that 20 people have to drop their kitten at the same time at the cobalt wurm.. 20 !

Yes, its rather insane. Elite content or not. It takes far more coordination the teq and its spread out over the much of the zone. You need no less than 60 highly coordinated people to actually complete this event.

The reason to play video games is to have fun. If OP doesn’t find the kind of content being implemented in the Living Story, and there’s nothing new being offered by Living Story, wouldn’t it behoove him to speak up?

Yes, but he can do so without letting his emotions cloud his intentions.

Also, providing suggestions for solutions to his concerns, or suggesting other types of content would help.

A blatant whine post will always be seen as a blatant whine post.

The suggestion was implied. Make the trash mobs reward you for killing them. I see no ‘blatant whine post’ here. I see a disgruntled customer airing his grievances.

For the record, I feel the same.

He’s playing video games to have fun. Having fun is a means by which you achieve happiness. Happiness is an emotion. Evoking an emotion is the destination, not the by-product.

He should be emotional when he’s saying he’s not having fun!

Anet does this on purpose because the Scarlett invasions taught them that people will fail an event to prolong the amount of loot-dropping mobs spawning. We’ve been hoist by our own greed petard

In a world of ignorance, wisdom is shunned.

That’s a fancy way of saying good point, you’re absolutely right. But no one will listen to you. Except me I suppose…

in a few days this will be forgotten anyway … like tequatl was

And yet they added timers as well. They punished us twice. Timers would have been enough, if they didn’t want people to prolong it.

Yup, on all us small servers, or at least any that aren’t the top 3-5.

So they spent a ton of time and resources on content that, in two weeks, only 70 players will be doing once a week.

Sounds about right. I’m curious how much of the active population participates in Tequatl anymore. Anet would never give us those number, but it’d be really interesting to see if its as few as most of us believe.

Okhu.7948:

Uh oh hard content. Here comes the whiners.

Who complains about anything being hard?

I read about every thread on here tonight and people complain about

- wasting time standing around
- lack of communication about when / where / why stuff happens
- lack of communication regarding what to do

What I didn’t read was

- this is too hard

On Desolace, UE you have to come just after TQ kill to not to get into overflow. It’s killed 6-8 times in a day. However this is one of the favourite places fot TQ killing so I dont know how it goes on other servers.

Then go do something else.

Yeah, say that to everyone. Then you don’t have enough people to do the event.

From what they are saying on Reddit the spawns are every two hours. One of the new bosses spawns on even hours, the other on odd hours. I don’t know which is which or if they change from server to server.

suggesting types of content is what all the community is been doing all this time, didn´t you see the post about what would be cool to add on reddit?

Okhu.7948:

Hard content? It’s zerg content just like Tequatl. The only recipe for success is bringing in enough people. There is no room for individual skill here.

It’s hilariously bad design that it takes more time/effort than anything else while the champs drop nothing. If they don’t change this event it will be even more dead that tequatl in a week or 2 because no one wants to waste their time doing the pre for zero rewards. More time intensive that Teq with even LESS reward.

I lost count of the number of champions and elite mobs I had to kill and I have nothing to show for it.

Seriously unless it is story driven, content without reward is effectively pointless, not a good design choice with Arena Net. I thought they would have learned from Tequatil instead they took all the bad aspects and made them worse.

Calling it now, in two months the zone will be essentially a ghost town on almost every server.

Anet you realy think its fun stand 2 hours there and wait for your kitten bossfight? lets that worm spawn 5-10mins after the event is over again.
Same kitten was at tequatl too…

I feel the same way after doing the robot, and that one is story driven. Perhaps I’m just as annoyed that the trash doesn’t drop as you guys are about the wurm because Scarlet has been nothing but one, overly drawn out frustrating disappointment. I’m afraid the Marionette will be a ghost town after three days. Everyone who has the time to waste waiting 2 hours per spawn will get the achievements and everyone who doesn’t will be left with only frustration… especially since the marionette event is BLOCKING a vista.

After playing GW1 a bit over the weekend… I kinda actually think GW1 was better.

Like I said in another post, this is unplayable content .

You need 20 people to drop those kegs at the same time, while the game comes down to a slideshow, red circles of insta-death are being spammed everywhere, and the place is crawling with both players and trash mobs. And on top of that, you need the players at the other wurms to not scr*w up. Yeah, I’m sure Blackgate will get it at some point. But this is unplayable, and no one will bother after their server has completed it once.

Challenging content is fun. But this goes beyond, and rips any influence that individual players might have right out of their hands.

Except people do that because Anet has made it so that playing “normally” doesn’t give nearly enough rewards.
