I"m sure some of you are familiar with Wooden Potatoes on YouTube. He makes a lot of videos discussing GW2 content and he generally does a great presentation. The link below is to his latest video talking about Tequatl Rising. This is really for ArenaNet. You guys should watch this video and really listen to what he’s saying because the majority of your player base can relate. This update has a lot of good going for it, but also a lot of bad. Take note that no where in the video does he say the content is too difficult. The issues are far more subtle yet potentially devastating. Towards the end he stresses that if you decided to make changes to these boss encounters, don’t decrease the difficulty but rather increase the reward to provide incentive. Then of course there is the issue with the overflows, plus forcing people into a ‘hurry up and wait’ mentality like the archaic ways of raiding in out-dated MMOs. Don’t cater to the fan boys of those old ways too much. Guild Wars 2 is NOT those other games, so don’t try to make it such.
I agree with woodenpotatoes. Not having any control over overflows, not having a short spawn timer, or the ability to be summoned, all take away from this fight. Sitting around for hours doing nothing or trying to get into your main server for hours on end is just boring, broken, annoying….not fun at all.
Waiting around for hours doing nothing is absolutely the worst part of this fight. I don’t want nerfs, I just want to not have to sit here ALL day just to save a spot on the map.
