Guild Wars 2

So, I’m really so happy with this event but the “destroy” function is really annoying especially since it:
1. misleading you to think you are looting
2. doesn’t give you anything (besides a very little pleasure)
3. you see alot of it on screen

This is my suggestion (if not for this event – then to future ones):
1.instead of having to destroy little creatures – make us destroy the nightmares- they are large, doesn’t appear in dozens and will cause a lot of players to gather togather.
2.make the destroy give some item – even if it’s 5 clockwork wheels or 1 silver it will feel much more rewarding

Thanks

It is only in here so PvE players are able to use finisher skills similar to PvP. Nothign else. Maybe they will introduce such a feature because the gem store finishers “need” to be bought by PvE players too

I agree. There is nothing fun about “Destroy”; it feels like it’s put in there as an excuse to give players in PvE the chance to show off their fancy finisher moves.

if you don’t Destroy the piles on the ground then the larger Clockwork Horrors rise out of them, so there was a purpose. Of course we all ignored that mechanic because we want Champions to spawn for loot.

Not quite – it’s that the Menders can repair the piles back into whatever they were before. In the chaos, you generally don’t get to see what’s going on (and spammed AoEs usually mean they die before they get a chance) but I have seen it a few times.

I think piles also count for formation of Nightmares, but Nightmares can form from still active Twisted as well.

Either way, though, the stomp mechanic in PvE is annoying. It would be better to have the piles be like downed players – stomping gets rid of them quickly, but just dealing more damage to them will finish them off too.
