Guild Wars 2

Just kidding.

Given how I can’t level masteries because my game perma-crashes cuz out of memory “feature” and also given how you basically deleted the dungeons from the game for no reason except forcing people to play other stuff..well I decided might as well do story right? It’s not like fractals are rewarding in any way.

After enduring countless NPC chatter and slow walking I managed to reach the supposed dragon fight. It wasn’t really a dragon just a fat guy but I don’t care for such details anyway.
Amazing encounter. Unskippable cutscenes cuz you obviously want us to enjoy them hundreds of times. They are rather pretty so why not.
The boss itself apparently has various phases in which terrain breaks down, he blocks projectiles, he randomly inflicts torment and confusion etc.
These phases don’t occur in any order or logic if you fail the fight once.

The best part:
The super immersive gliding phase! I mean you obviously felt it was extremely important to the intregrity of the content to put it in despite being bugged. Ignoring the part where you simply die to passive torment from the eye thing(that you cannot avoid while gliding) and the thrown rocks that hit you even if you avoid them we get to the most fun thing ever.

The updrafts don’t lift you. Yes, I know you have to jump on them from a slight distance but even so they fail far too often. And you have to repeat the fight. Again and again.

Also only the opener can actually finish the boss off.
Thank you.

Mod Edit: Edited title to include spoiler tag.

You should have put a spoiler tag just in case, some people still didn’t finish the story (but read these type of threads for some reason).

I actually was lucky I guess. I read about all those bugs. My first run of the last story was actually with 5 people and I never saw any bugs. Probably just luck. All the updrafts worked for me. I didn’t even have to jump on the first one to get into the air, I just walked into it and it worked kinda like the jumping mushroom, without jumping. All the the 5 people were alive til the very end so I guess it didn’t bug out for anyone.

I know that I wasn’t able to stomp the boss in the end though cause I wasn’t the one who opened. Never occurred to me what would happen if the opener died there. Cause I know they can’t rejoin the fight, only watch it until we wipe…. hm, that could be troublesome indeed.
