Guild Wars 2

I don’t know about impossible but it does seem unreasonably difficult without traited speed or swiftness since you seem to have to bring all 3 wisps at the same time (and between crippling traps and the distance the wisps spawn at sometimes, they always vanish before we can put them in, let alone all at the same time). Went in with a party of 5, nobody with traited speed, and we only managed to get one wisp in (after which it quickly reset and the next cycle one wisp was too far for us to make it). Started getting lag after and gave up.

Edit: Also, idk if this is a bug, but Mossman would stealth and then come back with full HP, making it impossible to kill.

Did it with 3 pugs and 2 on vent. Its like the torch lighting in CoF P3. Takes coordination. Bring sprints and condition removal. Not saying its fun or easy just possible.

We didn’t really have any trouble with it, no special tactics or voice we just went to a wisp each and started running. Took like 3-4 tries but then we got it, some wisp placements are easier than others so if you can’t make it just keep trying I guess since they change place. Mossman is the final boss of the fractal and he just harrasses you in the first part, you can’t kill him there.

Ohh okay – since we didn’t get to the boss (because the wisps kept disappearing before we could bring them in) we didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up!

And yeah, next time we’ll bring speed+condi removal skills/traits, we just went in completely blind and were stumped because everyone was slow and crippled whoops.

Edit: Wait what this wasn’t my topic why is the first post gone I was replying to another person who was also having difficulty.

Have a mesmer in your group to place a portal

Have a mesmer in your group to place a portal

Yeah, thought of that too, we just didn’t have any mesmers haha.

Without a mesmer it’s too difficult. Our group just gave up after 90 minutes of trying.
It’s just not fun anymore when you get blocked by random vines without enough time to go around…

Players need at least 10-15 seconds more on that level.

It’s easy even without portals or perma swiftness. Two things:

• avoid traps – they’re visible with naked eye;
• most spawned walls are climbable on one of the sides – don’t look for an open passage but jump over some parts.

Also – the Mossman is one of the possible final bosses…

I still wouldn’t say it’s “easy”… I think they should have the lower level fractals have a bit more time.

I couldn’t spot traps, myself (not a single one of them) so I kept running into them. Unsure if it was a render problem or lag on my end though since my latency today’s been a joke.

With my guild-mates, we were all in voice-chat, it took 1 hour… We were so nervous and frustrated I can’t describe it.
Finally we literally memorized all the traps spots (the locations are always the same). We traited for speed, buff the team with ranger warhorn if we could… Sometimes we just dropped the wisps in order to change the spawn spots if they were too far.
We were seriously leaving this fractals, cause it was so late in the night, when finally we manage to coordinate and put those wisps (maybe Dwayna was blessing us :P).
Not fun at all… The time is really too short. Did they tested it?! You can’t even see the traps!

Whoever beta tested this bs needs to be fired, this crap is just that crap!
