Guild Wars 2

I just spent a good deal of time trying to do the Obsidian Sanctum jumping puzzle for one of the caches. It was going well, enemies helping enemies.

Suddenly after negotiating the pitch black and jumping amongst the enemy someone started attacking me. I was in a most vulnerable position, jumping on stones jutting from a wall and they were on a platform above me at first I had no clue where the attack was coming from as I couldn’t see the platform.

I am a PvE player, I only enter WvW for world map completion and to gain a few badges of honour towards my goal of making a Legendary. I would not enter WvW unless I really had to because I don’t like player v player fighting. I am not experienced with WvW and I don’t care to be either, my interest lays with PvE.

I am not at all happy that the living story took me to WvW to complete an achievement. Why must I spend a good chunk of my playing time completing a jumping puzzle only to get near the end and be killed by the enemy?

Some may say it is part of the challenge and yes it is a challenge, but when I find a challenge becomes a chore it is not enjoyable anymore.

If I want to play WvW then I choose to go there willingly but when I am faced with a list of achievements which I would like to complete and one of the achievements FORCES me to go into WvW to complete, THAT is not an acceptable challenge to me. I am not fond (and I am sure no one else is either) of being killed by other players while trying to complete a jumping puzzle.

I would rather fight NPCs any day. NPCs are not vindictive, mean or opportunistic.

Don’t make players go to WvW for the living story again please. There are always going to be players who will take the opportunity to kill others and they have no respect or consideration of how long it took the player to get to where they were before killing them. They don’t care how much time and effort it takes, they only care about laughing at the unwary and taking whatever reward they can get from that extra kill.

If you don’t enjoy it don’t do it any more. It is one achievement and I guarantee you are not going to get all achievements all the time! Don’t like it? Leave it out!

I possibly would of completed all the achievements until I came across this WvW experience and now I won’t be doing them all. I play this game for enjoyment, not to be frustrated so if something frustrates me I won’t do it anymore.

Too bad for me that I will not be completing all the achievements now.

My point is, if I DO want to complete all the achievements, I shouldn’t be subjected to player v player content to complete it, if I am not inclined to liking the player v player content.

But then the same should apply for players that only like to do PvP, it’s great that now I can do my dailies in rather sPvP or in WvW… but still for all these new events I’m forced to go to LA in order to experience them fully.

Hell even if you want a legendary you are forced to do PvE content (dungeon tokens), I like both types of contents but my point is that the PvP only players also have the same problems as you do. At least the Obsidian Sanctum got into a separate map but I’m afraid this won’t make any changes, you’ll have to fight players in some way since it’s still a PvP zone.
