Guild Wars 2

So the Shadow Behemoth in Queensdale is super easy, and understandably so since it is in a starter zone, but the achievement associated with it is next to impossible these days because most players are too lazy to help destroy the portals while or or two destroy the portals.

I would like to suggest that the boss receive a healing boon of sorts for each open portal. That would be all the incentive needed to get people actually moving around and playing, instead of just sitting at the hit box waiting for that one guy (namely me) to destroy the portals. I already got the achievement long ago, so this isn’t for my benefit. This is for the benefit of those who don’t have it. I hope that if you did a revamp of SB, it turns out to be something like this. Existence forbid people actually have to move around during an event…

Shatterer has that mechanic (only with a handful of crystals instead of 13 portals). 90% of the group still stands by his right foot instead of helping with the crystals. So, I’m not too hopeful that something like this would result in more participation.

Better if SB drop a big AOE instant kill in area where people stand lazy during portals. Make it hit 5 second after portals arrive. That will make those lazy people start moving.

Qugi.2653:

Then they’ll move, and once the attack is over, they’ll shift back. It won’t make them do anything other than move.

There are bound to be some players who don’t have the SB achievement which is basically get rid of all of the portals really fast.

Try getting the map you get on to do that. Low level boss should have someone there who doesn’t have it. And it’s not something that players can get without at least a group of players cooperating.

Killing portals counts toward event completion. Use that when people say that they’d help but don’t want to risk not getting event rewards.

just make it spew dark globs of death just like fire elemental used to spit like 40 fireballs+ lava fonts all over the area at a time at launch
