Guild Wars 2

So Zojja is charging up the canon, its chaos everywhere, people are dying, you are being pushed to your limit. Success! The canon fires and hits Zhaitan, he’s going down.

But its not over. Hoards of enemies still swarm the ship, then one, two, three Eye’s of Zhaitan pop up! Its a tough battle but you make it.

Finally you have your chance to get head to head with Zhaitan personally, he’s vulnerable and…
You mash key 2 on your keyboard for five minutes, with no skill involved and no threat of danger. You are falling asleep on your keyboard.

Seriously, what happened here? It was a great start but why ruin it at the end? All I did was press 1 and 3 to aim the canon (for some reason it only moves at 90% angles) then once I had the shot (which isn’t hard since there is only 3 places to aim) I just had to mash 2. At no point was I in any danger, I once got hit by a puddle of goop which did about 3k damage…pathetic. So I’m hitting 2 for something like 5 minutes, watching Zhaitan just sit there, watching my team mates stand at canons and mash 2. At no point am I actually engaged in this fight and I am not tested in any way.

Then Zhaitan just falls and its like “hooray we killed him!”. But we don’t actually see his dead body, we don’t see him die, its just assumption. The kind of assumption that happens all the time in films and television for you to find out “OMG HE WASNT REALLY DEAD HE WAS JUST INJURED THE ENTIRE TIME!!!!!”. Why isn’t part of the battle to follow him to the ground and finish him off hand to hand?

Like I said this was really disappointing and ruined the end of the dungeon. Since it is the ultimate fight in GW2, the climax of the story,its even more disappointing. Why ANet, why?!

Agreed, worst ending to a great story-mode dungeon. I actually wonder if ANet tested this dungeon themselves?

I had never been so disappointed. I was like “Wow, this dungeon is pretty awesome. I’m scared to see how Zhaitan will be!” aaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnddddddddddd BOOM goes the disappointment.

Think pretty much everyone feels the same…. I

I have two theories about this…

a) It was intended as Zaithan is already weakened so you just need to finish him (which could’ve been done with a cinematic instead or reduced HP).

b) Zaithan was supposed to shoot back or summon more minions or whatever it was intended there is not working so you just shoot him to death…

Either way, the previous part kind of makes up and the overall feeling after doing it was good. This could be changed though…

I couldn’t agree more with the OP. So you spend the entire personal story building up to this moment. Then he falls, after the worst moment in MMO history, Destiny’s Edge is just standing around (no dialogue options available) nothing. You are just finished.

Oh, and you get a hat. Gee thanks.

it’s mass effect 3 all over again.

Maximillian Greil.1965:

it’s mass effect 3 all over again.

but then the Asuran portal gates would be also destroyed, and you become a legend. And the Norn would tell your story of The Shepard to future generations.

Clearly, there was just the chest of mediocre items, and no credit rolls/after story. i wondered why my PUG jumped off the boat after. i jumped soon after.

Ya… I have serious issues with this story mode dungeon, the ending was a bit of a wtf? I mean, really? sit there mashing (or clicking) 2 for like 5 min? heck you didn’t even have to aim thekittencannon….

The spawns before that was annoying as hell if I didn’t know it was coming and it spawned right on top of you as an ele….. they really need to tone down the aoes or something since if you happened to dodge the wrong way out of the first aoe you’d be stuck in like 3 more with only one dodge left… even worse on the first ship where there’s like no space not surrounded by a red circle at times, and the camera was either bouncing around horribly or bugged out and wayyyy outside the ship even when you’re walking around inside it….

I think the most “fun” boss out of that entire story mode was the mouth of zahitan… at least there was a slight bit of a mechanic there.. being able to throw thekittenboulder things when his mouth was sucking in for extra damage… not just “madly kill everything, try to get off a shot or two and then madly try to kill everything again”…
