Guild Wars 2

This mission has some of the most annoying achievements in the entire Living Story and there’s no reset button in sight. Haven’t we learned this lesson in A Crack in the Ice already? How about any of the other episodes? It’s always gotta be one step forward, two steps back.

Either don’t put obnoxiously hard achievements behind 6 godkitten minutes of unskippable cutscenes, or put a reset mote in. It’s not rocket science. We’ll wait another day for release if need be.

I’ve already wasted over an hour on absolutely nothing and if I hear that horribly pompous and overacted Shining Blade oath one more time, I’m liable to go insane…

I know, and its not just here.
Im completely tired of the fact that there’s a few missions with reset nodes, while the rest is all unresettable.
Now the feerless achievement was no issue since death resets the fight, but for most cases.. quaggan, anet, get your skritt together.
be consistent, make reset nodes

To be fair, most don’t need a reset button, but someone had to have gone through this mission and realized that most players will need at least a few tries before they succeed. It is beyond my comprehension how the very next course of action wasn’t to tell the developers that there needs to be a reset mote.

In the meantime, I found that if you progress the story to the Henge of Denravi battle, rather than simply jumping into the second mission on a replay, you can skip straight to the oath, reducing the wait time from 6 minutes to about 2 or so.

But I only figured that out after I gave up and decided to cheese with my thief. I think I need a shower now…
