Guild Wars 2

Just hoping now that after all the works that you are doing with the game you will find a moment to make good improvement on the one of the Elder Dragon’s fight.He is the first one that people gonna kill, so let people remain breathless after kill it.Also i’m hoping that the old areas will be improved time after time.Don’t get focused only on the new content please, take a look behind.Most of us are gw1 veteran so we know how you work hard and well.Now that nexon is out of the game, give us the old passionate game that only you can make.I’m really hoping that one day all of this will come true.Greetings from a passionate lore and game fan.

The zhaitan fight is honestly really underwhelming. I’ve ran with a couple of guildies doing the content for the first time, and their reactions have always been along the lines of “Wait, that’s it?”

I too hope that anet doesn’t forget the old content with all of their focus on new releases.

I was a bit disappointed with the Zhaitan fight. I was looking forward to it. Then after whole run, all i could say was “…That’s all? Nothing else???”

I feel really bad for the people who painstakingly worked on the various cutscenes and effects, only to have the whole encounter be pitifully easy even compared to some of the earlier stuff from the same dungeon, and then the very last battle is everyone pressing the 1 key over and over until they win?

I realize since this is a main quest that everyone theoretically does you don’t want it too hard, but the final fight should at least be as hard as some of the stuff you had to do to get to the final fight, no? Seems such a shame for a defining moment of the game to be ruined by bad encounter balance / mechanics, at least if it was too hard it would be memorable.

I need to make a response I can copy-paste each time this thread comes up…

The final fight was originally a lot harder, with large numbers of difficult mobs spawning on the airship, as well as powerful AoE’s from Zhaitan. You had to balance the party between firing cannons, killing mobs, keeping certain NPCs alive, and generally staying alive yourselves. People complained a lot (due to frequent wiping, and so forth), so it was nerfed in the first few months after launch.

I agree… Zaithan’s fight is the worst thing in this game.
Jus guive us a fight on land with a cut-in-half Zaithan after that key1 spaming

This basically…
Pre-nerf, the last fight with Zhaitan was kinda rough. Each pass over the airship he made spawned a /lot/ more risen. And he continued to spawn risen after his wings were clipped.
But the whiny QQ was deafening, and the fight was nerfed to it’s current, comical levels.

All that aside, Arah Story always felt unfinished to me. It seemed like there was supposed to be one more part to that last fight after Zhaitan falls.
The unreachable POI there just reinforces that thought…

I dunno… I keep hoping that ANet will go back and finish it. But, not holding my breath for that.

Im completely in support of this..

I think after HoT is released some focus should be on fixing the older game content..

personal story is a complete Mess..
I want to see story order fixed and cut content put back in.. I also want to see the old dialogue system removed and replaced with the new speech system from HoT which is far better

Living world season 1 unavailable.. I really want this back in chaptor format like season 2 is..

Arah Story.. good lord this is easily one of the most boring parts of the game…
im sorry to be soo blunt but this content is actually painful to play though its that bad..
Arah Story needs a serious overhall im afraid

and personally I would love that Anet do all this before we start living world season 3 and before any more future expansion or whatever are created..
im more than happy to wait for content i’ve never seen or know about
what im not happy with is having to playthrough content on new characters that is broken or just messy.. or playing through older content and missing an entire year because season 1 is missing..

I was there so I know what happened but newer players.. oh god are they going to be majorly lost when the expansion comes out…

I know Anet want to focus on the new but that does not mean the old content should be disgarded or ignored for soo long..
so please prioratize that after HoT and before any more content gets added after that
