Guild Wars 2

Mentor Mr Resetti Zx here.

Just wanted to talk about my experience of creating and running Raptor Squad in the PoF demo. Raptor Squad was an informal group I formed to hunt down bounties. At first it was just 3 of us then it became 20+ at its height. I ran the squad for over two hours? Maybe 3? It was great fun and shout out to everyone who joined.

Now some critics about the demo.

Mounts get stuck FAR too easily going up hill, especially on stairs and ramps. I also think you should allow weapon swapping while riding via the keyboard command. Other than that I loved the feel of riding my raptor and was very excited when I noticed you could dye them! Also any small fence is enough to block the raptors path, a little sad but a big jump normally fixes that. (Wish I could just do the small hop and go over)

Now about the bounties.

Variety was great, timing was good for the difficulty and number of players who joined. There were some close calls though. Fighting the Forged was like playing 52 pick up sometimes. So hard to find the timing on Zelke’s bombs. Baredfang was a bit of a bruiser and was a bit too difficult at times with very large groups. And the legendary Choya was interesting. Once we found the pattern it wasn’t too bad, but all the rolling drags the fight out a bit too much and since the platform was so large it would bounce from edge to edge and barely anyone could hit it while rolling.

Overall loved everything, just little things here and there. Great tease and I can’t wait for more. Raptor Squad out!
