Guild Wars 2

The game is to annoying to actually be fun, I wanted to complete my Daily doing only things in South Cove but I couldnt because I couldnt bring my self to enjoy the game. To many crabs and giant crabs, and to many crates, this game would be actually fun if it were team based, but solo… I still feel the stress in my shoulders.

Conclusion: Stresfull as hell!

Crap toss is an ill thought out perversion of keg brawl. Making it a daily win requirement is purely sadistic.

Whatever, it’s just an addition to the game. Not like it replaced something we love. I tried it once, didn’t like it, then moved on. No need to dwell on it.

Unless you’re trying to keep your spot on the AP leaderboard. Making it a daily win was going too far, for such a poor game mode.

What I’m having problem with is aggressive players and people teaming up to gang on you or to toss crabs to eachother. Seriously two of them were deliberatily slowing me down although I was not in the top 3 or carrying the crab. Then interrupting me at the chest in the end. This is like childrens school all over again. I just want my crabgrabber achievement while having fun.

I like crab toss, it’s a lot of fun once you know what to do. I actually exclusively played it for several hours yesterday.

What? Annoying ?! I’ve had quite my share of fun with it ! ( and some frustration from time to time XD)
There’s just too many Karka barrelrolling around from time to time.

Daily option . Ain’t no one holding a gun to your head forcing you to crab toss to finish your dailies. I haven’t.

Nothing like pressing skill 2 while running away with crab xD Poor guy never know what hit him hehe.
Once you learn to play it its actually pretty fun sport.

If you’re trying to be an AP leader then you should be happy this is a daily. I’m sure tehre are plenty of otehr AP OCDers out there as well that are having trouble with this. All you have to do is get better at crab toss then they are.
Also, I do this daily achivement EVERY day. I’m able to get it in 1-3 games.
This is a very well desinged Minigame. If you can’t/won’t learn it then IMO you don’t deserve to be on the AP leaderboards.
And if you don’t care about that then there are plenty of other achivements to do for your daily.
If you want to get better at crab toss have a look at this:

Went in for the achievement, played one game, got the achievement, never went back.

I really don’t like the game but that’s personal taste, fortunately there is nothing compelling me to play it so I’m free to spend my time doing stuff that I do enjoy.

I always advise my guild—particularly the players who dislike pvp outside of wvw—to get in on mini-game achievements early. Because after a few days the only ones still playing are the people who enjoy the game. And those people tend to have lots of skills.

Crab toss is awesome! I really love how the items work and all the things you can do. Often really balanced games as well. (often end up 10 points difference between 1-3 player)

Although that sounds logical, I played a few rounds yesterday again and hardly encountered any players who knew how to play. Maybe during the week.

Personally I think all the problems Crab Toss has could be fixed by just making it a team sport rather than a free-for-all.
