Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this is the right forum, but my comment is very general so I thought it worth a try to post here.

Tonight I did a large-scale dynamic event (The Shatterer).

The Good: Impressive looking monster.

The Bad: During the event, I could not tell AT ALL if I was having any impact whatsoever in the fight. My skills were firing only intermittently, and the numbers were only showing up on screen once in a while. I thought perhaps I was just not seeing them amidst the chaos, so I looked at the combat log window and it was showing nothing as well. It showed my -incoming- damage (ie: to me) but none of my outgoing damage.

Is it lag? Are other players having similar problems, or am I just flat-out doing something wrong? I still got gold, so I assume my damage must have been registering on some level but it was very confusing.

(Also, as a more general question, the dragon seemed to have like 10 targeting indicators on him. Whats up with that? Are you supposed to aim at specific targets or is that just so that you can tab-target easily even from a different side of the dragon? The event itself didn’t provide any real guidance. I come from an EverQuest background where large events are essentially the opposite of zerg and events have specific mechanics that you need to follow in order to be successful and the event itself usually has a storyline-style progression.)

Overall it was fun, but oh so very confusing.
