Guild Wars 2

I’ve been here for some 3 hours trying to take on the Masters, some of them are plain ridiculous.
But I think the worst is, nourishment use to, meaning many players cheated their way to beat them.

Because I’m late for the party I have to suffer and play this “as its meant”?

It’s NOT being fun so far, even looking up strategy guides and YouTube videos, and actually understanding the game you can’t really do anything when you are down in 6 drinks while the NPCs can take some 10~15, block your heals and call on your bluffs all the time.

Get the nourishment working back, its unfair to say the least that after hours of trying I still can’t unlock the achievement while cheaters have long been done with it.

It is fully possible to complete it without food buffs.

Can you beat Adnul consistently?

It seems to me he is almost entirely luck, which is a problem. Luck is not “difficult” or “challenging.” It is just chance. It’s fully possible to flip a coin and get heads 1,000 times in a row, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. If it does, that doesn’t mean you’re awesome at coin flips, it just means you’re lucky. I would rather the minigame focus on skill than luck.

Is there some technique you can use to demonstrate that he can be beat, with repeatable results, to show that skill is the primary factor here?

So just because it involves luck (so does all of them for that matter) it is not possible?
Just keep trying until you beat him. Simple as that.

Adnul is a pain need to do something about him. it is possible to beat him but after 5 hours and get so close it feels like i going no where and only getting mad.

It should be changed so that it isn’t just luck.

It isnt.

It’s bugged. #1 and #3 are bugged. Your health is 10,000. Drinking water tooltip states that you will gain 20% health. 20% of 10,000 is 2,000. However, when I drink water at 5,000 health, my health becomes 6,000 instead of 7,000. Same problem with #1. It says you will lose 10% health. However if I drink at 5,000 health, my health becomes 3,000 instead of 4,000.

Check it for yourselves. It wouldn’t surprise me if the skills are unbugged for the NPC’s giving the illusion that Adnul has more health than the rest of us.

Report your findings to Anet and maybe if we are lucky they will fix it before the event ends.

I’ve beat Adnul a coupe of hours after posting this and I’m bringing this back because A it’s still and active event and B I wanna give my insight.

I see people talking about luck and from my experience, it’s exactly what it is.
Here’s the thing, Adnul A.I. (as far as I can tell) is very simple, he’ll read your input and react accordingly.
There he can either counter your move, that will happen ~80% of the time or let you have it.
You can try a simple experiment with him.
Get yourself one drink away from losing, logic says you’ll either try to heal or bluff right? So he should try to block that but if you use your block he’ll just have a drink, same goes for if you drink yourself, he won’t try to block simply because the A.I. is reacting to your input, not trying to be clever.

So at the end you’ll on average win 1 possibly 2 games outta 10 and if you’re really unlucky, less than that.
Which brings me to my original post, if foods were forgot at the start and people opted for the easy route, it should remain like that, for those who want a challenge or not, the choice would be individual.
