Guild Wars 2

what’s left of fun in this game already?
grenth is not an event we can complete anymore (or at least last time i tried for ever and ever it was so).
mobs during events won’t loot anymore because people used to fail it on purpose for farming.
balthazar i don’t remember how the boss is because the pact never get there their morale deplete on the very stairs of the temple (i had to went to gandara to buy obsidian shards)
jormag gives only blue items on chest rewards (it’s been a long time i don’t see a rare that is not a crest or a orb).
never had something meaningful from shatterer and now also tequatl stopped giving me rares (once he used to reward me with a rare verdant something each time i killed).
arah explorable mode is impossible for a group of first timer with no rally possibilities when swarmed by mobs (i need 500 hundreds tokens for legendary and all i see in game is people doing cof path 1 with a commitment i don’t get).
but what really gets me mad is they call all this challenging. what is challenging in an open world event where you need to be hundreds people in order to complete it?
impossible to do alone or in a small party it is not challenging imo.
today i was near the zho’qafa catocombs, where a group of npc was wiped by a champion risen abomination that is more difficoult to fight than the one that spawns after plinx event (the one after plinx we killed in 3, though no one can finish plinx event on his own thanks to this boss and no one bothers to kill it for the blu crap he loot, the one in zho’qafa catacombs seems to be too much for anyone).

is this fun and challenging? do you enjoy not complete events or completing it for no tangible reward?

lately the only place where i seem to achieve something good is fractals (although at the end of the daily lv 10 3 in the party received the ring and 2 me included didn’t).
fractal is nice for rewards but they are the same maps over and over again with increased difficulty (while you don’t get increased stats).

exploring can be fun, once maybe twice.

don’t get me wrong the only things i’m saying is that the difficulty level of some content should really scale depending on number of players in the event. not only scale up each time someone join. i mean there should be the possibility for a not so large group of people to have the chance of killing an eye of zhaitan or a champion risen abomination.

Take a month or two break, come back and everything will be fresh and shiny.

that is what i thought too. maybe i played just too much

I feel like for every one of these threads, I need to drag your cage out to a field, open the door and let you go free.

But the cage door stays open so that you can come back after realising that I give you free food, shelter and pettings.

You’ll want to bear in mind that you earn karma with every event you mentioned, that you can use www.gw2lfg.com to find appropriate Arah groups, that you can guest to a more populous server at any time if you’d prefer to do the events with more people, and that at the least, Grenth, the Eye of Zhaitan and every Champion in the game can be killed by groups of as few as 3 people; challenging is exactly the right word for attempting it.

Cry of frustration is right- you sound like maybe you’re a little burnt out. Maybe try the above advice and just take a break for a while.

. . . don’t hate me, but it is entirely possible you need to take a step away from the game for a while. Maybe you just had your fill, and maybe when you come back the bulk of the people on the server have figured out how to kill the Risen Priest of Grenth.

(I’ve been party to a success after the change, and almost managed one using the provided Pact NPCs to assist. The only problem was that he got a little too close to Jonez and Gravity-fluxed him to death and the boss was only at 25% health. Ah well.)

Well i find that if you try to get every bit of fun from one thing in life you will feel burnt out fast. The thing about GW2 is that its made to be played from time to time not endlessly (i been doing this but i do other things for fun too). Try picking up a single player game and play that for a time or watch some videos on something. I been playing Fire Emblem Awakening during my down times and i will get MH3 for the 3ds once its out.

Guest on another server to find a place that will alleviate your Orr woes. This is what I had to do because, as great of a home server as it is in lots of regards, Dragonbrand is miserably awful for doing temples.

1/2 (yes I have counted) of the people that try to do the Priests, during peak EST hours, will lay on the ground dead and useless, hoping to leech the event and get ressed for the chest at the end, instead of respawning to run back. Mind you I don’t mean in an area away from the fight where one could reasonably expect a quick res. I mean dudes dropping dead at the feet of Grenth where no one will ever res you without an extremely high risk of getting themselves downed and remaining there for up to 5 minutes or until the event fails instead of spending one minute running back to assist.

The other servers I have tried out have this same issue, but it’s on a much smaller scale. A person here or there. But not nearly as common or as wide spread a behavior as it is on DB.

exactly this. you basically fight in a carpet of dead toons^^
i could have over reacted at the milion times whiped by the kitten risen abomination though.

I hate Orr with a passion. So I feel your frustration. I hated DOA (Domain of Anguish) in Guild Wars 1 too, but would be cajoled into going with my buddies all the time, all the while gritting my teeth and wondering what kind of warped mind it took to create such a horrible place.

I would have loved if there was some kind of dream sequence that showed Orr as it was before the destruction, so I could at least have a mental image of what it looked like at its peak of beauty.

Maybe I am too romantic. When I need an attitude check from the ugliness of Orr, I go to the Shiverpeaks (usually Timberline, one of my favorite zones) or to Ebonhawke area—-my second favorite zone. In GW1 I always went and got on my “perma-pre” and just felt all new and fresh.
