Guild Wars 2

Would anyone agree that tendrils make for the most boring combat imaginable?

Who on earth would come up with the idea of a stringy cabbage that would knock you back with it’s stench while lobbing great mounts of rotting cabbage at passers by?

It should instead, trip you up if you wander to close. At least that would be mildly amusing.

While the tendrils don’t make you land face first when you stray too close, they still knock you back. So I guess that kinda counts?

As well as being excessively boring to combat, there are so many of them, it’s like cutting the lawn one blade at a time.

At least they aren’t nearly as annoying as mushrooms are

Yes mushrooms can be quite annoying, but I think tendrils are in a class of their own when it comes to annoyance and the unenjoyable.

Nevermind that they’re basically hyper-aggressive, Range 2000 turrets? Hate those boring, irritating HP sponges.

There are tendrils that trip you. The little ones in the ground leading to SW in Brisban, and when clearing mordrem out of forts. They burrow and head straight for you even if you move aside (dodging works). Then they cripple you. So not a knock down but a definite mobility limiter.

Yea class of their own for sure. They are annoying in a different way, more of a wasting my time kind of way. While mushrooms are annoying in a I really kittening hate this fight because I hate literally all of your mechanics kind of way

I may be in the minority when I say that I like HOT, but I do find these tendrils to be a unnecessary dampener on what, is over all, a fun game.
