Guild Wars 2

hi,

I’d like to suggest Arenanet or we as players create a list of encounters, which teach us how to group-play. Imho Guild Wars 2 sometimes needs a bit explaining, since there is no trinity (tank, healer, dps).

I saw several occasions, where either 5 person groups or big groups (15+ people) wipes, because the majority had no idea, how to fight this particular encounter, for example

- there is a spider queen, which seems to spawn spiderlings when low on health and heal with them. So you need to fight the spiderlings asap to succeed. (Harathi Hinterlands)

- there is a fight where bandits want cursed artifacts and big groups are wiped, because people fail to kill the ranged bandits first. (Bloodtide Coast)

- there are ettin champs, where I never saw a successful fight. Don’t kow what to do there :-)

But each of these encounters may perhaps teach us how to play, how to adapt to different situations. So maybe we or Arenanet would like to compile a list of such encounters.

With the game so new and so different from traditional MMOs, imho it takes a lot of explaining to get people to the new combat style…
