First forum post, ever.
First off, it’s sad that my first forum post revolves around a new event, and the sheer idiocy of its execution. No one wants to, or has time, to stand around for 2+ hours twiddling our thumbs, waiting for mobs to spawn. In the time it takes for these creatures to get off their smoke break, you could run 2 DS’s (potentially exaggerating, but the point is still valid.) This is severely immersion breaking, and truly takes a lot of fun out of the game, while trying to complete the achievements. Thank the Gods we only have to do it once for the account wide reward.
I just completed this incredibly time consuming event, and all the things to get the Bloodstone Visage (yay me!) Persistence pays off, guys! Keep it up!
For real, ANet, if I wanted to ‘hurry up and wait’, I would go to the VA with my husband.
I can’t tell you how many times I heard ‘30 minutes to go’ while waiting for these mobs to spawn. I’m pretty sure it was the longest 3 hour ‘30 minutes’ I waited to shoot a Crazed Moa. At least there is a rather large notification that the creature has spawned, and all you have to do, at that point, is follow the zerg.
The ‘miniatures’ that pop up, when you click on the device certainly don’t stay up long enough to actually see them, especially if you’re standing around with 100+ people nearby.
Change the ‘puff of smoke’ to include an image that appears over our character’s heads, instead of us having to zoom in and out to see this tiny bird/shark/wyvern/arctodus that is clearly standing 50 feet away, and disappears as quickly as it appears.
Fix the timers. Fix the mobs so they don’t go down in 12 seconds after they spawn.
Gathering slivers is good. Leave that alone.
Cheers, and Happy Hunting, everyone.
