You serious? The 1-shot fest with atrocious camera angles and floor texture which made me stick my nose into the monitor (kittened up eyesight, too much gaming over all those years) and with a corpse-run after each 1-shot? I got her done and I will never enter that box to face her again. Not even if they pay a bag of gold for each win. And yes, she will return at some point. It was confirmed by dev posts during the event. And before someone rages: my opinion. Someone stated his, I stated mine.

It seemed a fun fight, but my connection and hardware are too bad for it. The constant zerg below had me lagging like it was wvw. Let it be instanced in the future.

I hope that Anet will bring back someday a revamped version of the Crown Pavillion back, once the stuff around Scarlet ect. is finally over and humans end, what Scarlet had begun with humans…

The new Pavillion being not a silly 24/7 super farm place, where you cycle around slaying bosses, but becoming more of the ARENA, that this type of content should have been from begin on, which provides the option of DUELS against either PvE enemies, or against players in big open arenas that provide good camera angles for the participants as like also the observers. The latter ones should receive here a view, like usign the observer mode in SPvP, where you can look the battles either as of the view of the player, or in the view of the foe, which would be also maybe interestign to view the battles in the view of the foes (Pve)

New tourament rounds with new enemies to battle agaisnt as also the option to battle again versus the known foes including Liadri.
The pavillion with all of its achievements should become permanent content, so that people who missed achievements from the last time, like beating liadri with 8 balls of light or in general beating her, can work towards these achievements again to get also her minipet version.

New gambits should be implemented also too and new rewards with for example armor skins similar stylized to the weapon set this time.

Those gambit tickets should get completely removed.
using gambits should be free of choice and not require any silly tickets. gambits need only to be unlocked. The tickets from the first time should be reused as tokens to turn them into some kind of items/gold ect. what is more useful.

The Crown Pavillion was content, which absoliutely did’t use all of the potential, that it has to be some real cool content.
In regard of the game economy it was just a very terrible patch, and the fix for it came way too late.

When the pavillion comes back, it should be all about duels and interesting arena battles and not be somethign thats based on ridiculous super boring zerg fests that totally ruin the game economy.

I agree, I loved that fight. Yes there were some issues that could definitely be improved but it was still good fun.

I really hope they bring it back sometime, hopefully before next August.

The only thing I had against it was that the fight was taking place in a bubble above the zergs. The moment you looked down your frames started to drop.

Otherwise, really interesting fight with pattern memory.

And I had her at 1% two times, and both times I was terribly unlucky to not land just one more hit on her, which would have killed her… the second time was maybe half a minute before the update which closed the pavillon was enforced (like, after having an hour without having to update yet). That was soooooo… frustrating. I mean, I know I can get her; I just ran out of time. Oh, and I’ve spent too much money on tickets because I didn’t know they ninja-changed them back to being accountbound haha. But, I’m ready for next time!

@Farzo: I don’t know what you did; but I personally never saw a zerg down there, neither while I was waiting, nor while I was fighting. I just never turned my camera that much… I think you’ve had to look at your character from almost directly above to see the zergs while fighting? And I’d have to try, but… is that even possible? o.o

Sure, but as long as you cant get the mini and have to fight all those other NPCs again, oh and can only be fought in WvW right on top of SM lord room, only available for fighting when 100+ players are present, only then will it be fair for all of us who had to endure the constant lag and stress of content going away soon fight her.

Liadri was a very horrible experience due to all the design flaws.
I still carry the mini around with me though. I like to stick pins into it.

The devs did say that the Gauntlet will make a return at some point in the future, and that the achievements will be completable again at that point. That suggests that Liadri will indeed return one day. (Honestly, we should send her to fight Scarlet. )

Pfft, send her to fight Kralkatorrik, she’d probably 1shot him too. o.O

Then’d we’d have enough dragon steak and jerky to last several decades.

It would be nice for Liadri to be replaced by a new boss in the next Queen’s gauntlet, and instead have Liadri be an ally in a future Living story, not having a big role, but just following you (like Braham / Rox during Molten Facility), and give her unique, but different abilities than in the Gauntlet.
