Guild Wars 2

We killed the Vampire Beast Broodmother from 4th try, required ACTUAL thinking and teamwork, thanks for making the game very much enjoyable and not a dps fest, its a simple boss but still, heres the screenshoot attached of people ENJOYING the small win..

Yeah i enjoyed that boss a lot, really felt like i earned that hero point. For anyone having trouble: the boss does an attack that gives you a debuff that makes you heal him when you attack. If you get hit, kite!

You know that sounded like quite an enjoyable fight and I am happy you had fun. But then I can’t help thinking to myself… all that difficulty built into acquiring one single hero point ???

So what happens when the map eventually quiets down a few months from now and some newbie comes along and meets that particular hero challenge ?

Does he have to go to the LFG tool and ask for a party to acquire said hero point ?

Sad game design is sad.

Sad game design is sad.

And nobody helps because doing a hero point more than once gives no loot or exp.

Even more sad game design

From the patch notes -

“The 15 new event-based hero challenges will also provide a daily reward for replaying them.
Additionally, all event-based hero challenges can be retriggered, even if they have already been completed.”

Doesn’t this mean those type of Hero Challenges can be redone? Or am I reading it wrong? (note I haven’t had a chance to play properly yet. Stupid Saturday working >.<)

Most Challenges can be redone .. they only don’t give rewards the second time
so there is no motivation to help other players on a challenge you already made.

And once a day .. yeah .. stand at hero point .. ask for help ..
answers : ask again tomorrow

Fair enough. Well at least I’ll get some extra rewards for helping folks then.
