Guild Wars 2

I wanted to throw my two cents in about the fight with the Eye. As I have encountered events and fights similar to this (dungeons specifically), I snapped to the point where I was ranting in /say all by myself in hopes that SOMEONE was listening.

The Eye ports to three different locations in the hall. Each location is accompanied by some type of knockdown and two of those three locations has you fight chain knockdowns just to get to the Eye. Once you reach the Eye, you might get one or two attacks on it and then it ports back to the center of the hall. You then run all the way back to the center where you can get a few seconds of damage in before it goes invulnerable and then ports to one of the three locations. Each time it ported, I just wanted it to do me the favor of knocking me down for half my health so I wouldn’t have to try and dodge the chain knockdowns (the multi-Eye pew-pew and the swords) just for it to port back to the center again.

Rinse and repeat this for LITERALLY 20 minutes.

Look, I’m all for challenging, epic battles, but just because something is takes forever, constantly immobilizes your character, and has mechanics that have you running around being knocked down more than fighting, that doesn’t mean it’s challenging or epic to me. I sincerely hope that this event was not working as intended.

I post this here in Personal Story because I was so irritated by the end of this fight that I clicked right through the story dialogue and completed this ASAP so that I wouldn’t bug-out in the event, as I have before (and especially as a Mesmer who occasionally gets stuck in terrain), or go linkdead, or ANYTHING that would cause me to repeat this event.
