Guild Wars 2

Feedback

This post represents the personal opinion from myself and my friends.

treasure caches
I like the new use of existing jumping puzzles, where you have to go back once. F.e. I forgot about Vexa’s lab, because I have done this jp a long time ago, and had a lot of fun jumping through it again.

Kill Achievements
Kill 50 Aetherblades in different Zones is NOT funny. You have 2 options: Camp a spawn point next to one of the treasure caches while spamming 1 to get a kill (most mobs are dying within 1 second or less) or travel through the world, to exactly the same spots you traveled before to kill the holographic dragons, but now with 50% less mobs! (though dragons still being able to spawn). The achievement was in Dragon Bash not fun, and is not even more annoying.

Dungeon and Dungeon Achievements
Personally I think the dungeon was very good designed, and I had a lot of fun playing through him multiple times. Most of the achievements were not too hard to get, but still an interesting adaption. I also played with random teammates who died multiple times through the whole dungeon, but if the dungeon would have been easier, I think it would have been too easy.
I still had some negative moments: First canon-event: The players wanted to group up in the left corner, to fully avoid the canon fire -> not fun!
It seem that there have been some ways to get the ‘Personal Space’ achievement while getting hit from Horrik.

Jumping Puzzle
I love all jumping puzzles. My two favorites are still the ‘Mad King’s Clock Tower" and the “Winter Wonderland”, but the JP is still one of the best.
The frustrating part of the JP was the diving-googles-spot. You have to really time it right, to not die. Due to the cover, you weren’t even able to see the route you have to take. Luckily I managed the jump on the second time, so I was able to take part in the mesmer-portal-chain, to help other people to get the achievement.
I think it would have helped, if you could have seen an recommended jumping spot, where you have the experience to fall through the whole jp with pipes next to you, without the danger, to die on these.

new Skins
I love new skins, and also love to buy those through the gem store. It takes gold out of the economy, and for those without, it brings in more money for ArenaNet (and through this the ability for ArenaNet to develop new content for us). This is the far better option than buying dragon chests.
Maybe it would also be a good idea for the weapon skins or weapon tickets to be sold directly via the gem store.
