Guild Wars 2

Anet NERT veteran oakhearts in queensdale. Probably so players will do the daily veteran task in another zone.

I think low level zones like queensdale need veterans too. The problem now is new low level players are going to try to fight these non-veteran Oakhearts and die. Because they still have same HP.

You know… veteran or not, it’s good to have mobs capable of killing newer players in the low level zones. Best way to get the feel for a different combat system is to live and die in that combat system, with dying being a rather important part.

I don’t see the issue here, especially with this point. Some monsters are scary, that’s why they are referred to as “monsters”. They aren’t even aggressive, they just react if you attack them first.

I’m sure everyone has done the “oh hey I wonder if I can attack this?” and ended up dead as a result. Fun times!

I kick – kitten at this game. I want a challenge in every zone.

Also there is not really any low level zones due to downscaling. So why remove veterans?

….What?

…Now I’ve seen everything…

Did I confuse you? Is it too hard to understand that downscaling exists so the whole game is playable at level 80.

This is supposed to be a dynamic world that changes. No zone should become obsolete.

I have a suggestion, remove achievement points from daily and monthlies and then no one would carry on this pointless argument.

P.S. I love the new oak hearts they are so cute and cuddly… oak-kay maybe not cuddly.

1 – Most zones are obsolete because of crap drops/reward. Nothing to do with difficulty.

2 – Oakhearts are among the toughest monsters in any area, which is quite fine given that they’re non-aggressive. They only attack if you attack them. If you do that and aren’t good enough to kill them… Your problem. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. They’re still veterans and can soloed easily by any player. The ones in Queensdale are perfectly level with their zones.

3 – This is possibly the stupidest, most dumbfounding complaint I’ve heard recently… And that’s including the guy complaining about “out-maned” being changed to “outnumbered”. There’s something “special” and discombobulated about this thread…

1. Some people play fun and not grinding for just rewards.
2. I can solo 4 of these veterans and would if they spawned closer together.
3.This is a small change but a unnecessary one. You should be asking why Anet is worried about something like this. When it wasn’t even a problem to begin with.

1. PvE in this game is so ridiculously easy almost nobody wants to repeat it. Oakheart = kite until dead/dodge vines… easy.

I don’t understand what the OP wants. From the title I assume he wants them nerfed, but from his other posts he wants them made stronger?
