Guild Wars 2

The event is awesome, but it is in the wrong place. It is a raid organized event in a free for all area. The difficulty is not caused by the event, but by the human factor. Idiots take the turrets and ruin any chance you have. I’ve attempted the event about 8 times now and every time he has got his wall up 4+ times and his life has not gone below 80%.

I hope the event is made easier, but they add more difficult content in other areas where you can control the people you do it with.

It really discourages me from playing, when something i want to complete can not be done, and it the fault is not mine, nor can I control it. Over two hours spent on attempts and nothing to show for it. I do not agree with rewarding failures, like they did with Scarlet but this is just very discouraging.

People will bring up that BG did it. But keep in mind they were organised in a outside program like TS and were getting people they wanted in with grouping people out of over flow.

Getting put in an overflow makes the human factor much more discouraging.

They need either more turrets, or some kind of environmental weapon like say some kind of Hylek “Alchemy Kits” where individual players can grab them and use debuffs and cleanses in a PbAoE fashion at some lesser effectiveness than the turrets.
As it is, the real difficulty with the event is “who gets the turrets”. That’s not really a good method for difficulty…

Truth.
Some kind of a raid system should have been implemented. Where guild or guild alliances would go and defeat the boss, thus giving more control over who is playing and how they’re playing.
