Guild Wars 2

Well today is the final day for me to “enjoy” Sky Pirates of Tyria before it ends so I am going to summerize my experience with this Living Story part.

Well to begin with I haven’t read any FAQ’s or hint’s from Wiki or Dulfy this time.

Kill 50 Aetherblades in each zone (Maguuma, Kryta, Ascalon and Shiverpeaks)
This sounds okay, those Achievements usually are gathered just by playing on one of these maps and when you have compleated one or two maps you are done or close to done, but not this time. This time me and my Fiancée was compleating two maps in ascalon with our new characters and we also “farmed” some extra holo’s and our result was 18 Aetherblades killed in Ascalon. That’s realy insane, before I said you don’t have to farm in this game to compleate anything, you finnish it just as you play, well that’s not correct for this one atleast… You realy have to farm them, bad programming or bad WAI imo.

JP Caches
Neat idéa, but I don’t like all JP’s some are JP’s that I never want to do again and one of the caches is in EB, hehe that’s funny I know not only I hate that one, find another way to make PvE’ers try WvW this is not the right way since we will hate WvW even more after this.

Dungeon
Hard and challanging, that’s realy neat! (For a permanent Dungeon).
I tried it with PUG’s 2 times and got to the last boss, I have tried it with my casual friends 3 times and over 100 deaths on the first boss and I still don’t know what we are doing wrong, but as for the moment I will say you need a big portion of luck fighting this boss and a good portion of skill.
After whiping lot’s of times on the last boss with the PUG’s I was sure we could do it with my group of friends, to bad we didn’t even get through Boss 1 heh… I can’t imagine that we suck that much more than my first PUG with a Zerker Warrior rushing everything before half of the group isn’t even nearby.

Story
I love the introduction to the story, it was cool and it realy got me interested, but I was spoiled from Facebook and when the real Aetherblade story part started I lost focus on the story compleatly, was it becouse of the Dungeon? I don’t know realy and it seems I can’t even see the capture of Mai Trin since I haven’t compleated the Dungeon, I got a mail saying where to go but when I get there, there is nothing… I could have been there with the wrong char I guess so I will try it again with my main soon since she has done the whole story accept for the Dungeon and that is my last complaint about the story, well I don’t know how much I have missed of the story by not compleating the dungeon but it realy feels like I don’t care about the story anymore becouse I can’t compleate the Dungeon.

What could have been better imo?
- No achievement’s that is so rarely appearing that you more or less has to farm them to achieve them.
- An easy (Not to easy though, still wan’t a challange) mode for atleast temporary Dungeons with less rewards but giving less skilled players like me the chance to see the story (If there is one).
- Having temporary achievement in WvW is silly but it sure gives a challange… But I doubt it will make PvE’ers wanna try WvW more becouse they are getting ganked in a already hard JP.

I have ignored more or less the whole Sky Pirates of Tyria Livning Story, I don’t care about a Monocle and/or an ugly mini. This was a boring Living story and lucky enough no cool rewards.

I agree with much of what you said, you’re really in the same boat as many of us.

In regards to this, however…

… my boyfriend and me were able to speak to Mai Trinn before finishing the dungeon. She’s in Fort Marriner. The letter shows you where to go, but it doesn’t tell you to go and look upstairs. Take the stairs up the wall and walk into the tower; that’s where her cell is.

Tyvm, I will have a look.
I guess I took for granted I didn’t have the rights to see it so I didn’t look closely enough.
