The first part of this story was really good. But this is just a mess and boring. 90% of people just run through. The Tri-Key chest drops junk. it cost me more in repairs and restarts after my group got mobbed by the returning mobs that the runners pulled through the area. I really like the Idea of it, It is great. But over all it just not entertaining for me. I might be the only one here with this but i thought i’d feed this back. What i would say is that if there where more barriers that involved killing of mobs then i think this would discurrage runners as then you would have to fight your way through. People would be stop (I would hope) after the mass group they keep pulling to the barriers kill’s them a few times and wait for or gather up a group of people before runnign in head long. If Anet wants this to be soloable, then I’m sorry it’s not for light armored classes, the Vet or Eliet in almost every mob of 3 crushes most players (from what I’ve seen) before they have got down a reguler, I try to go throgh with a group of 4-5 people and that seems to work best, as you don’t get crushed by the Eliets.
Seeing as each tri-key cost coin and spors i was exspecting some good drops from there, I got 2-3 items (2 blue and one green) and some dragonite ore stack of 9. If I had bought the key, what I got would not cover the cost of the key not to mention the cost of getting there, if your unlucky you can spend alot of coin just with rezes and restars.. I’m not saying it should cover the cost, but for the effort anf price it should be worth your while. Effort vs Reward in this game has and still it way out with the amount of things that chip away at your coin, WP’s, gathering tools, rez costs, armour repais.
This is not how i thought GW2 was going to be.
I saw your sig and discovered your problem.
You seem to think it’s about winning and losing.

No I just use that as a reminder that i can always do better and that I should always try harder than I am.
But i will say this, you can only win or lose. there is no almost winning or almost losing.

Your philosophy is flawed, as a person tends to learn more from defeat than from victory.
If you lost, but learned something in the progress, then you’re better than you were before, and that in itself is a gain.
Also, your signature has nothing to do with what you said, it just sounds like the typical CoD generation mentality.
I was hoping to go in and have a fun time, and I did. Ran it solo when I got home and did it in a small group shortly after. I don’t even remember what I got from the chest but at least 1 rare each time. Seeing as you had a difficult time going through I can understand if you didn’t have fun, but if you think of the game as “What is the reward in the end”, you’re gonna have a bad time.
You get 1 rare, a few pieces of junk, and up to 15 dragonite ore from the chest, along with chances at better stuff.
Thats not bad.

Sorry, but I hate CoD. I just wanted to point that out. So sorry thats not me, AvP2 was my first true love when it came to PC games. With that waid I’d rather play Streets of Rage 2 than an FPS. I love Streets of Rage1/2, so thats not a dig.
streets of rage ftw!
anyway.. i too am disappointed by this living story. they need to release something players actually want and care about.
Answer: Don’t run through it. Clear it, discover stuff, do the bonus mini-instances, find the various hidden chests. I cleared it with my best friend the other night, and we actually thought it was a little easy. I cleared it solo today with basically no problems. Dodge here, block there, leap through the mines… it’s all very easy to read. I’d give it some practice and go for it again. If anything, I wish it were just a smidge harder.
Except the champion event bosses. Those are pretty well done and enjoyable. You need a group, but hey, they’re listed as group events, that’s to be expected.
Elites are a decent step between vets and champs as far as difficulty goes, and you can absolutely solo them. You just need mobility, some defensive measures (block, protect, etc.), condi clears (like CRAZY for this event) and a bit of patience. They really aren’t that bad :P
