Guild Wars 2

I love the content, but it’s so unrewarding. If farming zones like Frostgorge Sound are going to remain in the game, shouldn’t living world content at least match it? Shouldn’t living world content always be the most rewarding so players actually do it? Shouldn’t it at least match world boss farming?

Maybe the problem is that Frostgorge Sound just needs to be nerfed. But it’s really sad that a lot of people are abandoning the tower — arguably the best PvE content in the game — after one or two days because the rewards are awful.

The only part of it that’s good is the Nightmare chambers and maybe the last instance. The rest looks good at first/in concept…but isn’t fun.

-Annoying, constantly respawning enemies, including quite a few veterans/elites usually within the same aggro radius. And a few of them (Assassins, Nimross, and Knights) can just keep layering poison after torment after confusion after cripple upon you..oh, and the elite husks that no one ever fights at the start of Twilight Arbor? They moved here as well. Not fun.

-Roadblock events gating off the levels. If it’s a champion, you can’t do it yourself.

-Mines that take off half your HP when they explode, requiring dodges or constant swiftness to avoid effectively. And sometimes that won’t work with enemies around, so stunbreaks are essential, otherwise one hit with these can just juggle you into another, than another, then..oh wait, you’re dead.

-And on the third floor, a debuff that slowly kills you and can randomly fear you and seemingly remove boons. And all the other bad stuff on top of that.

-No travel golem to the final staircase. No waypoints either. And the golems charge you even more than waypoints to use! Is the Priory really low on funding right now? Why charge me more than a waypoint just to go up? I guess they really don’t want me to stop the tower from spreading evil pollen or whatever.

Sooo…yeah. The Tower looks neat, and the Nightmare chambers are nice fun instances to go into. The rest of the Tower…not really.

I joined a zerg in the tower and had a great drop rate of T6 mats so theres that

Aah… A thinly veiled “Plz nerf Frostgorge champ train” thread…

Half your hp? All my hp.

As usual, I’d like to see more cosmetic and horizontal-progression rewards than just more money and bigger numbers. Sweet skins, titles, that sort of thing. New animations for skills, maybe. New emotes.
