Guild Wars 2

I fought some dragons events, and while they were already awesome, I think they could’ve been made to be even more epic if they had their hit-boxes adjusted to where they’re actually are/their parts are.

I think it’ll change alot for melee, and some may even say “but my dps will decrease!” but I don’t care about the DpS, only about the event experience.

For example, you can stay in a dragon’s area, and if he’s flying you can keep attacking (melee) because you’re still dealing damage to him. When he lifts one of his arms, you can still keep attacking because you’re still hitting him. It’d be more awesome in my opinion if you actually damaged only when your attack REALLY landed, and doesn’t need to be on one of the 3 targets, but anywhere on him.

Like, is his arm lifted? No problem, we go for his legs. Is he going to fly? That’s why we have a second, usually ranged, weapon. And if you don’t? Well, you just gotta wait for him to come down… etc

I think the melee experience on these events will be much more epic, and for the ranged to also have their fun, add something else for them to do, such as projectile evading. Pretty much like looking where he is going to use a breath attack, etc…

A bit more challenging, more depth, more fun!

Or…make insta death possible if you get squished and make all the melee classes have to jump on him Shadow of the Colossus style. Hell. Yes.

i think that, more importantly, those big events need failstates to justify the threat. if no one kills tequatl, so what? he’ll just stay there, him and his horde of zombies, on that corner of the map that doesn’t block anything in the way, until someone shows up to kill him.

AND, just as importantly, they need to make those battles actually engaging. make them tougher, add more attacks to the dragons, etc.
