Guild Wars 2

I have finally completed the original personal story and after five hours on the last chapter, all I can say is “thank god it is over.” The last eight mini-stages are exactly identical. Spam my character with one to three minions almost constantly and then give me ten seconds to fight the boss or dragon. I was so tired and so bored I just about quit after wave after wave after wave of more dragons and other time wasters. By the time I got to the final dragon, my hands were hurting and I was exhausted. The fight was me hitting one button twenty times, one time then dodge then repeat, no strategy, no fun, and no reward. There is no way I will repeat the airship stages ever again on my other characters, I’d rather have a tooth pulled. It was just so disappointing and so drawn out. Is this what dungeons and HOT will be like because if so I might have to give up. Even the NPC’s that are with you don’t help. I died ten times on the “mouth” fight and this fight took over an hour as you just run all the time and then scoop up a fire orb and then wait and then throw it at boss again and again and again. It was so boring!!! I have leveled up eight different characters all to 70-80% world completion and I was going to take them all the way be now, there is no way I am EVER doing that again. Lastly, the cannons on the airship could not even focus so I was having to wait five of my 10 seconds of boss fight for them to aim correctly so it was just a slow, slow, slow, tedious, boring fight. You would think after years of playing and progressing that the payoff would be worth it but it was a HUGE letdown and once again no strategy and boring for combat. I’ve had more fun in open world champ fights. I should have felt like a hero, instead I feel like a tired button masher watching cut scenes that are slow and drawn out. Though I am not quitting, I am NEVER going to repeat this portion ever again and feel sorry (literally) for anyone who has to still do this part, you will not like it and plan on spending many hours doing this last section as it is SLOW, SLOW and SLOW.

You are three years too late though.

lolololololol First time I’ve read this type of post...

I have done this on about 11 chars now. I recall before they made the change to where we could solo it and you had to party for it, it would usually take 1.5-2 hours. I have recently done it again on my Rev and another char before him on solo mode and from the impression that I got it was actually faster than when I had to party with people.

It certainly does not take “many hours”. It may have been boring for you depending on what class/build you were playing.

But I do agree, when they changed it to solo mode a bit of what was any challenge seems to have been removed. And it does seem a tad boring now when you see the same waves of creatures coming at you. Not to forget to mention some of the combat (while fighting the dragons flying around the ship sometimes they seem to get stuck in the air or wait too long to do anything is 1 example) seem choppy which make it seem long, tedious and boring.

o_o I just did it yesterday (first time since they added the solo version), no deaths and finished it in like 30 minutes. But yes, it’s STILL boring.

And it makes DE looks like total kittenheads. They just stand there while you do all the fighting. And if you get downed they just ignore you. I think I saw Zoija point and laught at me once.
