Guild Wars 2 BWE3 Raid Footage
(mediocre DPS with full pug group)
Wanted to get the raid done as soon as possible during the BWE. Did Red/Blue Guardians at the same time with very few issues and I’m pretty sure with an Exp group with full sinister DPS/healers you can pull all 3 and do them all at once. Hope you guys enjoy and are hyped for the full raid when HoT releases!
Feedback on video appreciated

Ohhh. 1080, nice upload.

Not to come across as ungrateful…
But, I can totally see what people are saying about the particle effects. That was not exactly super spectator friendly, in a way that wasn’t at all your fault.

Yes, using “effect LOD” solves the problem, however it also remove important effect, like water fields, fire fields, AoEs.

Yeah the only way to fix the clusterkitten of particles is to turn that on but then you miss out on important AoE’s and such so it is pretty badly designed in that aspect

Took 2 minutes to upload too! Yeah I know, having 10 people in a 1-2 boss encounter leaves a crap tonne of efects/AoE’s/fire/water fields everywhere and you can’t really do much about it. All raids will look like this unless they change something

Been wondering how they’ll implement actual mechanics that overcome the ridiculous skill spam. it already can get hard to see wtf the boss is doing in regular dungeons at times.

Bristleback can’t hit anything? Let’s fix the HP bug instead.

Don’t really think there is a way for them to fix that without screwing up some other part of the game but yeah 10 people is too many to really see anything especially with all the new flashy animations

If they had an option to remove or minimize weapon trails, ground effects, etc. to an absolute bare minimum amount with strongly defined borders, that might be alright. As it stands, I don’t know how they expect to make complex mechanics, especially any that require avoiding boss telegraphs.

This is honestly my biggest disappointment with HoT, and the reason I won’t be purchasing it: the complete and total lack of visual clarity in combat. Imagine trying to play Dark Souls with a mod that made enemies explode into a shower of sparks and smoke every time you hit them. It’d be practically impossible for the average person to get through it, and it’d be frustrating to do so even if you managed to.
