Solo'd last boss AR as Engineer
That was very cool of your pug. Impressive feat as well.
There is a video in another thread of a ranger soloing after his group perished. I’m sure others have done it as well. People just need to adapt to the battle instead of complaining in the forum that the battle should be adapted to their skill level.
People used to think the permanent dungeons were hard too. A week from now everyone who wants the achievement will probably have it and the rage in the forum will look silly.
People raged over the holograms being killed too fast. They all want to grind out the achievement the first day even though they had an entire month. Now the maps are littered with untouched holograms and all those rage posts from the first day are just silly.
Thanks!
While I do wish that everyone can enjoy the content in a game, I do agree that starting to whine and cry out from day one is counter-productive and won’t change things for the better. Managing to kill the final boss on my own gave me a sense of achievement that I haven’t had (in a game) in a long time. I didn’t mind not getting a massive reward (though I’m grateful for PUG buddies!) , but reading these forums does make me a bit sad if I dwell here for too long. Guild Wars 2 has made massive jumps for casual players already (in contrast to about every MMO in the past), though I don’t believe that should mean they have to dumb down all the content in the game.
I was cursing when we we’re wiping on the laser boss, but as soon as everyone got the hang of it, we did manage to get the different phases down and again, being able to do that gave me more fun than rushing through content like a hot knife through butter.
I tried a search to find that video, but didn’t manage to find the post you refer to. Any chance you know where I can find it? Would love to see how a ranger pulled it off!
Well done. Yes, if you have skill, knowledge, and maybe a bit of luck, it can be done. On that note, I’d love to see that video too.
Good job. There’s too many players who play just for rewards like gold/achievements and only want to run things that they can grind out on some gold/hour scale. Real achievements are the ones that you feel that you actually accomplished something rather grinding something to check a box off a list. Soloing this boss shows that you have skill in learning the boss mechanics and what your class is capable of.
