Guild Wars 2

OK. This game so far i thought was one of the best MMO’s I have ever played. Today i fought zhaitan in Arah’s….I have to say I couldn’t have been more disappointed at the end of that instance.

What kind of last fight has you sit on a turret? and mash #2 until the boss is dead?
I really expected more out of him, seeing as how he was the PRIMARY enemy through the story line.

I thought the rest of the instance was all right…not one of your better ones. But come on, that last fight needs a lot more flare. At least make it so the turret can do more, or make zhaitan throw out more pain while he is on that tower. Something, more flashes more “kittenery!!” I never thought I would be making a post like this on the forums. But I am just so disappointed in that last fight I had to speak out to you.

I know it’s kind of late in the game to make any major changes to anything, but maybe you can use this to better fuel your idea’s for the next dragon fight.

I agree with you.
Our party just started making fun of it all. “Mash 2 to win!” As we were going at it.
Sure it looked pretty, with all the fireworks the cannons spewed out. But it was about as thrilling as watching my grandma knit a sock.

“Is she… oh – my – god… I THINK SHE’S STARTING A NEW ROW!!… ladies and gentlemen that is some EXCITING KNITTING ACTION, brought to you by ESPN-8 and Downy Paper Towells…”

Yup same reaction here, a huge disappointment. I didn’t care much for all the tossing around the ship either. I thought lvl 15 battles were much much harder than Zhaitan

LOL level 15 battles. Cadecous Manor was harder then this instance 0_o

Agreed. The entire encounter could be summarizes as:
Fight risen→Zhaitan cut-scene→fight risen→Zhaitan cut-scene→fight risen→Zhaitan cut-scene→fight risen→sit in a turret that doesn’t move or identify-ably target or hit and mash two until the life bar is empty with no threat whatsoever.

My guild honestly didn’t believe it was over. We sat there after he fell and waited for “the hard part”. Then we exited and went to the next story bit thinking he came up from the ocean for one last attack while everyone was celebrating. Nothing.

AMAZING story. EXCELLENT pacing and delivery. Kittening poor finale. The claw of Jormag and Tequatl are much more involved, interesting and challenging dragon encounters. Maybe its a case of he just never being able to live up to the expectations everyone had…but when the only time your character actually attacks an elder dragon, he sits there for 5 minutes doing absolutely nothing…its really disappointing.

Some in my group were actually comparing it to a sort of recent boss dragon fight in another popular game. Fight on an airship, oh look a dragon sitting on a tower, oh look he fell down into a whirlpool, “I wonder if we fill fight on his back next?”. It was just really sad.

I mean…dudes, its a dragon made of dragons. He could have flew behind the airship and attacked with his 45 dragon tongues. Or gone under the airship and had them come up through the deck. He could have had freakin eye lasers that insta-downed unless you read the attack and got in Logan’s bubble shield (ala human intro).

Its probably too late to do anything about it now. But I hope they put aside a little time and creativity for the next elder dragon.

I am hoping, that was a fake are a faint. Which you will fight Zhaitan for real later on.
