I’ll start off asking what Anet sees a challenge? And what players see as challenge?
I was in CM today first time and the dungeon was fair enough actually for the most part.
But however, Ill start with this second miniboss i think it was, she stealthed, and when she popped out of stealth she instantly stunned me, and followed up with a 8k hit while im stunned, more or less instantly killing me as im ported down to lvl45 having 4.4k hp. – For me its a downright SLAP in the face, This has nothing to do with having skills as a player, or using evades or anything tacticwise. How on earth can i evade a stealthed boss that instantly stuns me when comming back?
Going back in time to the first miniboss, the guy in red suit with rifle. Not too bad but annoying as an slap in the face again. This boss just locked his aim onto you, and spammed his special ability that knocks you down onto the ground…after 3 death runs i thought “hey, there must be a way to avoid this” – So, as im asura i clearly can see where im in, in an evade. So i tryed to time his shots, And even in the middle of an evade, he knocks me to the ground, spams the skill and kills me…so i try again, this time i thought i should try to use Line of sight to avoid this, so i run around the corner hiding behind a wall…..and he shoots me straight trough the wall….killing me….
So by all means….This is not hard…its a slap in the face and has nothing to do with skills or brains..its just pure luckbased fights on when the boss locks you down to kill you…so the players saying the dungeons are fun beats me…fun and challenging is when you can be a good player to avoid getting killed by stuff like this…but like in CM and all the other dungeons ive tryed…you simply cant avoid…dps-die-runback-dps-die-runback is the set of tactics i seem to find so far.
So please anet? are you going to implement any form of tactics into your fights or is this the future of GW2?`cause seriously, this is not enjoyable at all.. i dont mind dieing tons of times because im stupid and dont understand the fight, but when such i experienced in cm today.. there is no tactics..its just pure luckbased about who gets the deathblow – warriors and guardians offc seem to survive more, but for a clothie its as stated..plainright a slap in the face..hence eliminating funfactor from challencing down to horrible and annoying…some feedback about what you plan to do with these fights would be appriciated…so we at least know if its worhtwhile waiting for or just find other games..cause so far, ur idea of a challenge has for me been proven does not suit ME as an player, and these forums and my guildies poves im not alone.
