Guild Wars 2

Warning This post will contain positivity.

I would like to say thank you and well done to ANET. This new content patch hit a few nails on the head and has been very enjoyable.

I’d like to start off with first zoning into Kessex Hills and immediately being thrown into an instance. This is great. It helps to immerse the player right into this living story content. You’re charged with a task of escorting and thus you eventually hit your first group of the Toxic Alliance. I was more than pleasantly surprised to see that the Nightmare Court portion of the Alliance fall with a more than familiar downed state. Awesome! Not only is this a great mechanic for the enemy to have, but this lets you have the ability to kill 2 birds with one stone. How, you may ask. Simple. If you hadn’t completed your finisher Achievement for the Halloween event, switch your finisher over to the appropriate one and start slamming those Salads with Mad King heads and Scarecrows.

I liked being able to explore the area some in this single person instance. It helped get a great feel for the changed area and also lets you attack the new enemies at your will.

Once I got to Marjory and Kasmeer and got to fight the final boss, again I was impressed. The fight wasn’t too easy and yet not too tough as well. It was enjoyable. I liked the look of this boss as well. It was a great mixture of the Krait we all know and love with a splash of Rankor from Star Wars. The final cut scene was a nice finish as well. Can’t believe how fast that veil went down… like a norn fart at a moot.

So the opening was nice. It immersed the player, it introduced the new enemy and it played out nice. The changes to Kessex Hills is pretty cool. It’s nice to WP into the map from a good distance away and see the silhouette of the Tower of Nightmares from far away. The game world has changed and is changing. I’ve done the opening now on 3 of my 5 toons and can’t wait to finish it up with all of them. I will get more spores and I will vanquish this new Toxic Alliance!

I’ve left out all negativity from this post as most of these forums is filled with it beyond belief. I’ll let the people who hate this game and have nothing better to do but spew venom and play a game they hate so much do there thing elsewhere. This shall be my sanctuary of positivity.

Its a great update. People who think otherwise were not here for flame and frost. Where all you got was random portals popping out mobs with very little back story behind them. Lol for the first part of that story progression all we were doing was running around fixing sign post for crying out loud.

This isn’t much different from signposts, honestly.

I disagree.
To fix a sign you just had to walk up to it and press F
I have a lot more to say but since your argument is so short Im going to keep mine short

Running around and pressing 1 might as well be running around and pressing F.

Positive zone here guys.

You can always press 2, 3, 4, 5, or many other keys as well. You’re not pigeon holed to spam your 1 key.

It’s perspective, and we like this addition.

Please feel free to spread the negativity to the hundreds of other threads that strive for it.

I thought you were going to say that. You appear to not have the ability to think beyond the present (maybe not at all for that matter). If you dont wont to zerg you dont have too. Thats your choice. For one thing you could guest to a less popular server where there are less people . Or you can wait a week and come back when everyone has their achievements and the zone is less populated. Also a few of the enemies now try and res their fallen comrades. That one small change alone adds more dynamics than just pressing F on a sign post.
