Guild Wars 2

I just finished Arah Story. The last section have the player on an airship, where you fight off dragon minions. That’s a very cool idea. However it wasn’t done properly. The dragon minions came up right next to airship, so the players just need to spam the cannon attack, which would always hit since they are so close, to take them down.

Instead, airship/naval battles should be conducted by ships that fights in a distance. Very often the attacks would miss. The ships only gets close when they are trying to board the enemy ship.

Some examples:

What I suggest, for future missions of this type, is to replace the weapons by cannons that requires AoE manual aiming. The players have to judge the speed and angle before firing and hope their attacks hits the target.

Maybe have one player steering the ship, while the rest aim the cannons.

This would be great for the future naval battles in the “Canthan Invasion of Tyria”. Come on we ALL know its coming. :P

Any opinions on this?

I like the idea provided the risen spawns on your ship went away or were less frequent/less risen as it could get really annoying to jump off a cannon every 10-15secs just to get smashed in the face by a cannon ball.
