Guild Wars 2

Ok, it crossed my mind to make a thread about all the encounters in game that make pug teams break and shatter just to sum up all the problematic areas and bosses that might cause headaches to people.

For start I would go with bloomhunger in fractals above lvl 30. That thing just bashes low organised team with its swarm of agony and poorly visible red circles due to water issues. Since pugs usually don’t have a dedicated “wall” person like guardian or thief, it often results in people giving up on it quite fast.

Next is “hammer time” boss in cliffside, due to his high agony spam all over the zone, most people get caught up while trying to ress others which results in massive wipe way too fast.

Then we have Citadel of Flame path 3, torch part, which can bring out negative attitude out of any good person within minutes.

Feel free to put any boss, event or zone that made you lose party because it was too communication dependent or simply too hard to do without a well organised team.

They’re gonna tone them down.

As consolation for the fact that they are removing the ability to ress at a waypoint in a dungeon unless the entire party is dead.
