As much as I’d like to sit around waiting for this boss. It is a waste of time. We sit and wait. You hate to move because you don’t wanna miss but who has tons of hours to wait. I don’t for one. I feel like I’m not being productive all those hours of waiting for this boss to spawn and when he does spawn and it fails you feel like whats the point. Even with the best coordination. Its not fun. This isn’t about the mechanics nor how difficult it is. Its the waiting after failure that is more than a little frustrating. The waiting for the next spawn. The feeling that I could have been more productive in other aspects of the game. The mechanics in and of themselves aren’t bad. And I enjoy that its more challenging. But the window after failure and the overflow issue is my problem. I am not alone in this. Its boring and unproductive. At least with the last Scarlet patch it was dynamic and rewarding to be involved. This is neither. The large scale coordination is nice but I see that in wvw efforts. This however relies on 6 people on turrets. This is about timing. I know there have been success with time to spare, however, I will probably never get to see it because I have other real life obligations. Not to mention that this event will be dead in a matter of weeks. After the meta event is over, there will be probably be no one that does this because the rewards and the cost of failure don’t offset the effort involved.
I’m sure I’ll get QQed, but honestly why waste time. Its not worth it. This could be great content that is rewarding but waiting around is not worth it. The closest I’ve come to beating him is 2% and I know it can be done but who has all day to wait around? This also addresses the issue that this takes people out of the rest of the world and into this one area of the game.
I’ll make a suggestion, keep it the mechanics the way they are but shorten the time between spawns if the event fails. If its success make it like 2 or 3 or whatever hours between spawns. I and many people I know would like to get back in there to kill this guy. The difficulty isn’t the problem but the waiting around is nothing short of annoying.
Lots of toons and so little time :D
