Guild Wars 2

Not all of us have $2000 computer. Not all of us have the reflexes of a 13 year old. . I have been dying every 30 seconds for 45 minutes and am sick of your poor design.

Try to use 3 skills, that fail to fire a third of a time while dodging red circles and and instant death creature behind you that kills you in 3 seconds.

Did any one of you think that this would be fun?

Think about the players! This isnt a fractal or a raid. This is part of the Living Story.

You are supposed to be better than this….

This was one of my favorite story missions. Took a couple tries but it wasn’t that bad.

I don;t have $2000 computer I neither have “reflexes of a 13 year old”

and now I wonder – which part of “frikkin run away” you missed while doing said story episode?

Yeah same here, kind of confused at what the OP is talking about now.

I did this on my Chronomancer and while it was tough, I didn’t die. Just took my time with it and did fine. Gotta pick which mobs are more of a threat and take them out first. Like those darn snipers leaving that fire trail that just eats you alive.

Just don’t try to rush it, and move a little at a time. And yeah, use your skills. All of them.

I am no spring chicken, but I am totally enjoying the new content. We (guildies) captured our hall yesterday. Working on LS. Had to change my build to suit the mobs. For me, healing armor and tons of food help. Forget Magic Find food, I use healing food. I also run ascended armor full celestial. So with HoT it is trial and error. Hang in there hopefully you can enjoy it.

To be clear, there is no “frikkin run away” option. You MUST run up the cavern, dodging red circles. There must be more than one version of this story. This version is absolute GARBAGE!

I don’t own an expensive computer either. I-5 with 16 gigs of ram and older graphics card. During heavy mob fights I turn settings down. Trying to run HoT solo is tricky. Some mobs are quick and deadly. Do not be afraid to pull. I am a ranger so I pull targets. Never been one to wade in and die. Hopefully it will get better for you.

This mission wasn’t very hard……I did it without dying also.

Whats garbage is ur attitude and lack of willpower to progress. Is this the mission where ur being chased by x and u carrying y? If so dont forget to glide at the end

So much rage. Why is anyone taking this person seriously?

Are u playing a melee build? My GS mesmer is having a field day whereas my healer/power hybrid guardian is having a pretty rough time. Some of those new foes are way over-tuned (cheap form of challenge) and in these scenarios, players are forced to play it safe with ranged. Try using a ranged build and see if things work out better.

I frequently drop below 30 fps in expansion areas and failed this a few times, but the only problems I really had were:

1. Getting disorientated during the cliff scaling part.
2. Temporary brain failure during the gliding part.
3. Some sort of bug that locked out progression after dying sometimes.

The mission concept is really cool, but it seems bugged. There were times where skills didn’t fire off or were heavily delayed causing me to die when the tendrils hit me with poison while trying to scale the cliff. That was the most frustrating part, after that it was fairly simple. Clearly it was a reskin of the aspect crystal abilities, but it needs a bit more fine tuning.

For clarification…

There is more than one version. it depends on which way you go out of one of the caverns

This. The skills were buggy as all hell, and I even got stuck in jumping pose and had to quit to char select. This was made worse by my Oceanic ping, which has never handled these skills well.

NO CLEAR PATH
ON COOLDOWN
NO FORWARD MOMENTUM

This was the worst experience of the game so far.

I had zero trouble with the part Talzed showed, just with the next bit where I didn’t realize that you could glide and then air dash.

To get through the cave shown, most of the pustules you can just run around, pass between the circles. You can go relatively slow without the boss catching up, there’s no huge rush there. There are a few where it is impossible or at least inconvenient to run around them, in which case just use the #3 jump, but again, take your time, aim your shot. The only times the boss caught me during that portion was when I would get outside and then spend 10-15 seconds on the platform trying to figure out where to go.

Talzed.4153:

That part you did not even need to use the 3 skills.

The tendril part I almost died on so many times lol. I kept missing a jump and falling to the ground. The only complaint I have about that mission is that you’re supposed to follow Ruka, but it’s not always clear where he/she/it went, so you have to kind of make a guess while bossbugger comes up and swipes at you.

It’s a timed platformer, more or less, only in 3d. The upside is, if you die, you start over at your last checkpoint.

This story step is total trash design I am glad some of you are enjoying it, but I imagine most people thick its total trash. Lost count on how many times I have died and atm just gave up maybe anet will pull their brains out of their * and tweak it. I am not interested in being a uber player just wanta have some fun and this story step IS NOT fun at all!
