Guild Wars 2

Just completed World 2-1 again since the patch on normal and I must say do miss the rapids.

I’m not starting this thread to start another flame thread, I am just submitting my feed back. The way this was fixed, might as well have just put a rainbow there. I understand it was short notice and a hot-fix but it does feel dull now.

Maybe if the rapids are not going to work you could make the whole thing doable via turtles just across the whole thing. Hitting them with sling shot and jumping. Wouldn’t be real hard but at least I have to do something to cross.

I did however like the change to the water fall cross. It was much harder before and almost frustratingly so. The log pattern does change and to get across the whole thing flawlessly and with out hitting a fish was almost some what luck based. When I completed on tribulation it took me quite a few tries having to jump all the way back up each time. I found myself standing at the top watching for the perfect log set up. Must have been up there just standing and watching for about 20 minutes total, lol.

So this safe spot in the middle makes the whole things much more reasonable.

Over all the level does feel more on par with World 1, which I guess I appropriate for 2-1, but I’d hate to see the rest of the World brought down to this difficulty.

It does however leave more room to up the difficulty for World 3. My hope that World 3 will be more on par with how world 2-1 used to be.

I won’t miss them.

I honestly didn’t understand all the complaining, aside from the bugginess with the rapids, with the teleporting/dmg it was pretty easy, just took some practice to get the pattern down on the geysers, no idea why they nerfed that so much.

Just fixing the bugginess and removing the rapid dmg would make it easy enough.

For normal mode i dont care to much that they changed it, but this change also affects TM mode. And thats just BS cause it was just waiting, learning the pattern, and then jumping. i could do it over and over without failure :/

And im connected from Europe, playing on a NA server, so screw ppl’s ping argument.
You cant make proper TM stuff having to deal with some peoples bad internet connections.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that 2-1 feels like a cakewalk now compared to what it once was, but I thought I should highlight this.

There does indeed appear to be a perfect log setup, but it runs every 2min, I learnt this last night on trib mode, so its not overly terrible. That was a nice change however, it made it easier for those on normal, but kept it difficult for us on trib. The other changes simply made trib just as easy since 2-1 trib is 80% normal mode.

I think these changes are a great improvement. I understand that people miss the old geysers. They were a great challenge, but I feel they weren’t in the right place. For World 2 it is simply a bit too hard, and the water mechanics were very frustrating.

The geysers as they were, would perhaps be better suited at the end of a later zone.
