Guild Wars 2

I didn’t. I died. And the NPCs apparently won without me. Then there was a cut scene. And I was alive again. And now I have to “Confirm the Risen Prince Nekandezzar’s death.”

I’m not even necessary in my own personal story.

And I go down to do the next step ‘explore the hidden sublevel’ and all of a sudden all the NPCs disappear and my pet aggroes everything in site on the way down after I jump.

I’m really beginning to feel like I’m in a paid beta here.

Oh, so all the NPCs just stand around by the shiny thing. I get it now. I mean, I don’t get it, but at least I understand what they do. Just not why they’re doing it.

Oh, wait. Laranthir of the wild apparently hangs out near where I died at least. Ok. So I’ve got backup. Cool.

Ok, so I lucked my way through falling through cracks to find the right spot, then somehow managed to kill the right version of Nekanwhatever, with no support except Laranthir. Great.

Now I’m on to the next step and standing literally on Arda’s sword and it’s untargetable, unusable and there’s a green circle on my map indicating I should be here, but nothing else.

So…

Yeah. I’ll post more later. I’m sure I’ll figure something out, which may be the point, but if it is: START THE GAME THIS WAY.

If I have to figure kitten out, let me know from the beginning. Everything is handed to me on a platter until it’s not. 90 percent of this game is following kitten on the minimap and the rest is total kitten guesswork.

That’s incredibly frustrating. Make up your minds. Hand hold or don’t.

Update: aparently Laranthir the kitten Useless has to be alive for this part to trigger.

So go to the skull and rez him, then go back. Then it will work.

Further update:

Arda apparently managed to survive while I flailed around aimlessly, yet only held on long enough for me to arrive just not in the nick of time.

I can’t wait for this punishment to end. 80 levels and 50 installments of this psychological brutality. At this point I’m only finishing it to say I managed to endure it.

Not. Fun.
