Guild Wars 2

You said Gauntlet will come back. When it does, you SERIOUSLY need to nerf Liadri bad.

Make her like Scarlet, now Scarlet was really cool, not too easy and not too hard.

Liadri was a disaster, been playing since August 28th 2012.
Only two achievements I don’t have, and also refuse to try and do until you make Liadri a normal difficulty like the rest of Living Story.

Boycott Liadri !

The problem I have with Liadri is that I’m color-blind, have severe anxiety and I’m a bit of a claustrophobic (And yes it’s possible to have a panic attack due to claustrophobia in a game.) Laugh at it all you want and call it a joke; but it’s real.

All the other bosses in Gauntlets, save for the Four pirates and Dead-Eye, were a breeze for me but I still had that slight fear of not being able to zoom my camera out all the way like I usually do. However Liadri is the bane of my disorders.

The fact that she’s broken up into two phases, in a tight little bubble, where I can’t even see the AoE circles just sets me off into a panic attack.

Then lets bring on the stress factor of having wasted over 50 gold to level my mesmer, gear it to the tooth thinking “Dulfy’s guide makes it look like a breeze. I’ll do this on a mesmer.” When technically it is NOT a breeze.

Things you could do to FIX this fight are listed below.

Phase 1 + 2:
Only a Maximum of two Visions of Mortality spawn at a time.
Lift the bubble some so we can zoom out to the max.
Get rid of the Hourglass AoE during Phase 2, instead return it back to like Phase 1.
Make the AoE circles more defined. That grate floor is killing most of us Colorblind people.

A reason I joined GW2, leaving World of Warcraft behind was because of it’s stress free environment where I wasn’t always pressured into getting a rare item, pet, or mount, and it’s challenging, yet easily obtainable achievement system.
Liadri is not challenging.. she’s stressful, depressing, and annoying.

Right now.. I’m planning to leave GW2 for some time to go play Final Fantasy XIV; because from what I’ve played so far of their beta and soon to play in their Early access; It’s more stress-free that GW2 is turning into. :\

I liked Liadri. It was an achievement that actually took a few tries to beat, and meant something because of it.
You don’t have to do it. But “boycotting” for its removal is selfish, really. There are tons of easy things in this game. Do those if you enjoy those. But for players who want challenges, this is one of the few things we can do.

Liadri herself is fine.

The problems are the AOE fields on the floor, i’m not colorblind and I still have trouble seeing them sometimes. The camera in that bubble dome, you fight the camera. And finally the cosmic rifts, through the first part of the fight they spawn on a timer and are predictable in that way, though in the second part of the fight the cosmic rifts seem to spawn randomly and with the constant movement, the bigger AOE field, and having to fight the camera in the dome it makes it cheap.

Difficulty that takes skill to bypass i’m fine with. I am not fine with artificial difficulty of the rifts pulling you into your death when you might have been doing good because you couldn’t see it spawn due to the camera. I’d even be fine with the rifts if the camera was fixed and they wern’t immune to projectiles anymore. If a rift spawns inside an AOE and then pulls you into the AOE when theres nothing you can do about it, that’s bad. As a mesmer if a rift spawns all the way across the field, I can not reach it even if I start running after it the second I see it spawn.

In the Liadri fight, Liadri herself has never actually downed me, it’s always been the AOE and/or the clones. I’m pretty sure about 80% of my deaths have been due to the rifts.

Sorry no. I agree that Scarlet wasn’t too bad. But it wasn’t really fun beating her either. I solo’d her on my first attempt. All she did was kitten boring, glaringly obvious and easy to avoid. Now I think thats how a boss you are required to beat should be (so no players are blocked from the rest of the story).

But a boss like Liadri is clearly there for players seeking a challenge. The only thing that needs a fix (not a nerf) is the kitten camera (and maybe aoe visibility) in that fight.

I’m sorry to hear that. And yes, I can’t wait to see FFXIV, I loved GW2 from the get go because it was so easy and fun. Recently it has been becoming less and less fun, and more and more stupid. Like Liadri.

For example, there’s no choice for those that thing challenges are stupid. There should be a choice, for example, those that just want the achievements and the miniature, can have an easy mode option. Those that like a challenge, can do the easy mode for achievements and mini, and then for the challenge that they love so much they can repeatedly play some kind of ultra hard super challenge mode.

That would be so awesome

And it would make the ’’challengers’’ very happy.

Guys it’s SUPPOSED to be super challenging. In fact I would say there isnt enough hardcore content… what happened to hard mode?

oh and Ravij?… You have my pity. But I’m still goin to laugh that u play such an intense game especially in it’s environments… with caves and houses… x)

I disagree. Leave Liadri as she is. It should be a real accomplishment to have beaten her. And it’s not like it’s impossible, just refer to the Liadri Slayers Club thread in the QJ forum for some guidance.

For the record, I have not beaten her, and probably never will as I can’t get back into the Gauntlet (invasions just too boring!)

People these days… All you do is complain if things aren’t handed to you on a silver platter. This game is in dire need of more challenging content, this was a start.

Ravij.9856:

VERY offtopic but I think I feel kind of happy knowing someone else shares my pain of having panic attacks over virtual things, as ludicrous as it sounds. I’m aquaphobic and going in deep water in certain places (like getting the skillpoint under Honour of the Waves) triggers panic attacks for me so I have to have someone else do it for me.

I thought I was the only one……

Liadri is easy….. im farm all champions for daily 10-19 min.

Umm… no. You should not get the achievement, nor the mini. They’re there in order to provide some prestige for those that beat Liadri. Without that the only thing we’d have is posting videos on YouTube.

If you want the mini and the achievement, keep trying until you beat her. You’re not getting it for free, and nor should you. It’s a minipet and an achievement, for crying out loud. Why are you entitled to get them all? You’re not. Work for them. Stop asking for everything to be handed to you like candy.

this is my two cents:
1.Honestly they need to have a easy mode and hard mode. Just award hard mode more achievment points and gold at end award or more of them bags as an award.

2. Arena net really needs to give two other camera option views in this game/ arena challenge. Need a far map above view so u can easily see your surroundings it will help allot. Second many of us cant straiff in perfect circular angles and keep view on the target at 90% of the time. When they are moving around or the fact you are dodging and can no longer see target. So basically a camera lock on target view would be nice so u can always see the target and not lose focus on the fight. this would help on one on one fights with players or monsters and pvp or wvw.

3. A game should be fun not stressful to point you can cause anxioty to the fan base. this will only cause a slow or even quicker down fall in the amount of gamers that play. There be more gamers who are in for the story and fun part of the game then theses overwhelming challenges that will only eventually make a person go hey i missed that i quiet and if they do come back a few month later and find out they missed good stuff they will most likely not return again and I know this as I have many guildies in the past that said so themselves. Arena net needs to focus on fans needs and keep content open more often or returnable. the I want this and that is what most players do but if they miss the I want then they would cold turkey and quit all together. I like the idea of content every two weeks but I feel some of it should stay and last forever like laberthene should still be available its a new map and taking it away felt discouraging to some players that I know. Heck that place should of had a way out of area for a new map to explore instead of taking the labrenthine away itself.

That’s just my two scents.

Shpongle.6025:

???

She can be easily solo’d while the instance was meant for 5 people.

I am against the proposition of this thread. More Liadri I say. It’s not the end of the world if we have 2% of content released not aimed at casuals.

As someone without twitch that is happy to have made it to Liadri I do not want it made easier. I would like the floor contrast with the circles changed and the camera-in-wall changed but the fight itself no. Chances of my getting the mini are small but that is the whole point.

Shpongle.6025:

So, Scarlet was not too easy? 1st gq boss+Mai Trin tactics? That’s easiest kitten I’ve ever seen.

>Liadri was a disaster, been playing since August 28th 2012.
>Only two achievements I don’t have, and also refuse to try and do until you make Liadri a normal difficulty like the rest of Living Story.
So you’re a bad player, if you after 1 year can’t kill a boss.
And yeah, I don’t believe you. Someone who did 5 gambits achievment wouldn’t cry about Liadri.

The Liadri fight itself is well designed and challenging.
The problem with her is the circles and that you can’t see them on the floor. If the surface of the cage was a better colour so people who’s colour vision isnt perfect (like me) then it be a bit fairer…

(I didnt even know there were circles on the floor until I did it over the pirates area where I can just see a faint line.)
I still havent completed it after about 50 tries because of this and only this.

Liandri is fine the way she is. The arena needs to be made bigger to avoid camera flaws, and the floor needs have its color changed. More content like liandri needs to be released with titles and other prestigious rewards so i don’t keep banging my head on the keyboard wondering why i can solo 5 man content.

If you cant kill Liadri, than you are not good enough to get this achievement. Learn to play your class or do other things in gw2. I know this words sounds hard for all who cant kill her, but why should all others loose a good challange because of your missing playskill? Its not easy, but 100% doable with every class.

You have 10, 985 points of easy non-stressfull achivements.
We have 15 points of ye ol’ challenging, teeth grinding, elite-wanna-be content and you want to take away.

Why do I live in this world?

I want only ONE “Fix” for the Liadri fight:

Don’t allow the White Rifts (those that the Visions touch to create the orbs) to spawn next to the freakin wall. Combined with the horrible camera, it makes the 8-orb achievement a LOT harder than it should be. Just this little “fix” and I’m happy with the rest of the Liadri fight.

The only thing that I don’t like about the fight is the horrible camera, but that applies to all the Gauntlet fights. The mechanics I find fun and challenging and I am proud of myself that I have done it. It better come back for other players to do it as opposed to all those Living Story achievements that just disappear, while they’re challenging (AR).

Make her like Scarlet, now Scarlet was really cool, not too easy and not too hard.

Oh please. Don’t act like Scarlet was some well-tuned challenge that you overcame with a combination of hard work, skill and talent. It’s just another joke fight like all the other fights in the game outside of the gauntlet. It’s designed to be steamrolled by anyone and everyone.

I also solo’d Scarlet, I was expecting some modicum of challenge but she has to be one of the easiest bosses in the game to fight, I left the Playhouse thinking “Is that it?”

I enjoyed fighting and beating Liadri, she gave me one hell of a run for my money and took more than one attempt to actually beat and gave me a sense of achievement when I finally beat her (ie player satisfaction), not so with Scarlet, it just felt half-baked.

Liadri is the most fun boss fight in the entire game. Leave her alone x.x More bosses like this please

Looks like this thread got turned on its head

’’prestige’’ lol you just want to feel special, is all, and better than everyone else, i get that, but i’m not like that

i work in real life

i play gw2 to relax and chill and feel a fake sense of accomplishment

Wolfheart.1938:

Looks like this thread got turned on its head

that’s because people that want her made normal like the rest of the LS and content stopped caring about it, and all the ’’challengers’’ can’t let it go, and must…fight…to feel…special…must…have…something…others….don’t…have…

considering the HATE filled posts that i’m reading in this topic, I think it would be the best idea to make her normal

and fun like scarlet <3

if you want a challenge, put 5 gambits on yourself and try to beat her, now THAT’s a challenge ! but of course you won’t do that, because, no one would care thatyou did

so you don’t want a challenge so that YOU can do it, you wan’t a challenge so that OTHERS can not.

well i’m not color blind and i stopped trying after around 35 or 40 tries i think, it’s just stupid and poorly designed

don’t beat yourself up over it

I’ve beaten Liadri and I can honestly say it had absolutely nothing to do with player skill. I basically kept feeding tickets to the Ringmaster until I got lucky with 1. orb RNG and 2. being able to find safe spots in P2 because the red circles are nearly impossible to see.

Any encounter that relies on RNG and visual limitations as heavily as this one does as a means of “difficulty” is not indicative of skill whatsoever as far as I’m concerned. I wanted a real challenge and instead I got this. It was a very poorly designed fight and by far the least amount of enjoyment I’ve had in GW2.

Even though I don’t necessarily agree with all the hate being thrown at this particular thread I also don’t approve your suggestion of an easy mode. Liadri is a bossfight created within the idea that not everyone would be able to beat. And suggesting the addition of an easy mode contradicts the developer’s design decision to make it a hard fight. So you can protest all you want about boycotting the daffy slag. But in my eyes, it should be kept the way it is. Since there isn’t much challenging content in the game that recquires players to access different strategies and knowladge of classes in order to achieve success.

Have you read any guides in how to deal with her fight phases? You can also turn off Post Processing to remove the ‘blind’ effect she randomly chucks at you. The aoe circles that 1 shot you follow a fixed pattern everytime you fight her. Knowing what you’re getting into is half the battle. Understanding how the red circles pattern work will give you less trouble than you would’ve had. Oh and the cosmic rifts spawn at the same places too during phase 1 :p

Liadri is created to be hard. It will not be nerfed. If they ever create casual mode (which I doubt they will) – no minipet or other “special” reward.
Liadri is not RNG boss, on both phases AoE follows a pattern and you simple have to learn it, and Rifts can be pretty easily dealt with. And while the camera is the real problem in a small dome, it doesn’t make the encounter unbeatable – proved by lots of succeeded people.
- If you don’t have the time to try hard – don’t try. Why not simply give everyone a legendary, if not everyone can spend much time to acquire it?
- If you have some physical problems – don’t try. This is game, no point in pushing you towards something nasty.
- But it gives 20 points! – pff, I didn’t play GW1 and I miss 500 AP and skins and pets etc., so what?

I thoroughly researched the encounter before setting foot in there. None of that changes getting screwed over by an orb in P2 pulling you underneath a Shadowfall even if you’ve played flawlessly until then.

I had no issues with the blind, but the Shadowfall patterns in P2 mean absolutely nothing if you have difficulty seeing the red circles as I did. It’s a frequently complained about issue for a reason.

there are 4 things that need an urgent fix/remove

spawning outside the dome dead,
removing repair costs
fixing camera view
implementing ‘’colorblind mode’’ so that colorblind players aren’t excluded

making it hard is one thing, but stupid and poorly designed(spawning dead, repair costs, ticket costs money, bugs, glitchs, camera view) is a whole thing all together

my problem with liadri isn’t that it’s hard, it’s that it’s so stupid and poorly designed content

Shpongle.6025:

implementing ‘’colorblind mode’’ so that colorblind players aren’t excluded

I’m not even colorblind. The problem is threefold:

1. They semi-recently changed what used to be solid red circles with this new smokey/wavy animation. While that’s fine on solid surfaces it does not work for…

2. The grated floors of the domes. It breaks up the consistency of the circles too much. Paired with #1 that makes it a problem.

3. You can’t zoom out/angle the camera inside the dome well enough to see any kind of pattern. That’s why I said I had to get lucky finding safe spots because visually I had a very difficult time telling where they were.

If you look at any of the numerous threads about this many non-colorblind people complained of the same things. Regardless, I agree, there should be a colorblind mode, but I’m pointing out the issue affects those of us who can see color as well.

WHAT?! bwahahaha come on dude, you have easy content and medium content heck i bet 98% of gw2 is casual content.

what Hardcore content have we got during a year.

thats it. two things over a WHOLE year.

just get better, YES i said it you just sound like an entitled kid with “give me, give me” attitude.

i’m not color blind either and i can barely see the circles, if ‘’colorblind mode’’ would make the circles thick and fat and non transparent, i would turn it on immediately

if I can barely see the circles when i’m not colorblind, then how much harder is it for color blind players? not having a color blind mode is totally disrespectful to the color blind players

MAD king JP was not hardcore content, i did it after a couple of tries and i didn’t consider it hardcore, it was SOOOOO much fun doing it, even though i failed a lot and tried many times. why was it so much fun? because I wasn’t PUNISHED for failing at it. No repair costs. No dying. No bugs. No glitches. It was great ! and the camera was normal and it was for ALL classes, no one was excluded

I think the aetherblade achievements on the sky pirates LS were semi-hard, and the ’’don’t get downed’’ chievement in scarlet’s playhouse is semi hard, and killing Scarlet in third mode of her playhouse is not too hard and not to easy, it’s perfect

but liadri is just stupid

What? MKJP was buggy and glitchy as hell check out the archives i made a huge compilation of MKJP bugs dont come at me saying it was perfect.

and for you it took a “couple of tries” some people COULDNT do it and spent hours upon hours and failing over and over again until they gave up as i said early CHECK archives of the massive complains about how hard it was.

for you might have been easy pz content but is categorized in the hardcore content since just a few % of gw2 population can and will complete the achievement,

Liadri is perfect as it is as boss mechanic (just the WP fee and, the running back is what and umbalanced arenas is what get on my nerves).

by the record i completed MKPJP and liadri I CANT do 8 orbs because my ISP is bad im not from US and i had to do liadri a saturday at 4 AM because my 1mb connection cant handle Gauntlet overflow, and yes i would like to be called a hardcore gamer please.

complete liadri then complain.

Better idea for arena net they should release her later on in a few months. Arena net should put her mini in gem store for 800 gems. They would so sell probably 200,000 of that mini pet at best. and 800 gems is $10 so arena net would make about $2,000,000 in profit. this is how I feel arena net should handle this situation in 6 months from now.

She’s difficult but it’s the RNG element of luck that is what makes things unfair and not satisfying despite the difficulty

My fixes for the fight
- Change ground circle colour to black. Green would be better since its more obvious but black goes with what she actually casts. Yes the ground can be orange-ish which is harder to distinguish.
- Two orbs thrown at her to get to phase 2, not three since Phase 1 depends on a lot on the randomness of where the portals and the orbs spawn and suck you
- Phase 2’s AOE attack reduced to how it was in phase 1 vs an hourglass

Other non balance issues are the fps and unforgiving nature of the fight if you have one iota of lag/sneeze/get camera screwed. I had to turn my settings all the way down just to have enough of a frame rate to respond to shades. Once I did that I was reaching Phase 2 more consistently.

I know it’s a challenge to even push out higher quality content on the LW production schedule but even if you pull it off, there clearly isn’t enough room or time for adequate testing as we’ve seen throughout these releases and they are aimed for best case. You can compensate for this by taking your best case and dialing it back about 20% to account for the variance of unforeseen things like the issues mentioned above

Which parts are RNG besides the camera angle and rift spawn locations?

In all seriousness though, aside from changing the color of the AoE circles the fight is fine. If the portals weren’t RNG then it’d be far too easy to learn the pattern and kill them. In fact, the first phase is easily a 90% success rate as the white portals that spawn aren’t RNG, nor is the pattern of her AoE. Kill the rift, go to the portal, wait for the AoE, count three seconds, dodge, collect your Orb of Blazing Light, go straight north and throw it at Liadri, continue north as the AoE starts count to three and dodge. Now imagine having the entire fight down like that. Just no. There has to be some kind of RNG element to it or the fight can be learned in and out and require no real skill or reflexes.

The mechanics, though very annoying, are fine. It can be done. Just change the colors a bit. (Though honestly I had no issue seeing the red circles.)
