Guild Wars 2

This event was difficult before. Not only was it hard to get people to stay alive with the aoe that drops you from the ceiling. The closest waypoint is beyond far away even if Arah pre is done. No one runs back, ever. And you can not resurrect people during the event.

And now with the update if you get corruption stacks from the shades, its instant death. This doesn’t make the event more dynamic. It makes it annoying. Again, no one runs back. And no one kills the shades. Trying to organize new people to these changes makes it worse then before. Its easier to do it with less people, yet people need it for one of the new traits.

Anet Please revert this back to what it was. This event was difficult enough without you making it harder for no reason.

I haven’t done the new event yet. At least we can now put in the trait to reduce falling damage before we go in. As for the corruption. I wonder if something like the Lemongrass Poultry soup would help, as well as traiting or putting in utility skills that help with conditions?

As for the corruption. I wonder if something like the Lemongrass Poultry soup would help, as well as traiting or putting in utility skills that help with conditions?

I don’t believe it’s classified as a condition. I don’t think my melandru runes were doing anything to it.

And yeah, not happy about that effect. It skips the downed state entirely. Just dead from out of nowhere with no indication as to why in the logs.

Uh, it was already like that before. If you hit 25 stacks of that debuff, you die. No downed state, just dead. This wasn’t changed in the patch.

I never seemed to get 25 stacks of corruption before the patch. Now there is no avoiding it. Even when your far away from the shades you get the debuff. This even has become nothing more then an un-fun death run.

Seems worse with more people around as well. I felt like I was just throwing my body at the priest earlier today. Run, leap, bodyslam (with your tiny Asura body), die, waypoint. Still, it’s doable, if you can get people to listen, just tedious. I don’t see people doing it very often once they have their traits unlocked tho.

BUMP. I think this issue for pve content should be reviewed by Anet especially events like teq, etc. Players cleared what they want to clear and they never turn up again. Vicious cycle much ..
