I agree. Living story has no place in WvW at all whatsoever. The WvW community has no interest in PVE while playing WvW. It’s a Huge annoyance and interference. The stupid npc attacks on yaks are bad enough, we Really don’t need These Over powered Silver mobs defending choke points on supply lines, Forcing us to have no choice but to manually run yaks from A to B. It’s total BS.
I’m kind of split on this issue. First off you already have supply Dolyak routes can get attacked by npc mobs, most noticeably in Eternal battlegrounds, and unguarded or without the veteran guard escort camp upgrade those yaks will die. If the supply yak died to the Toxic alliance force of 2 to 3 on the supply route, then that yak deserved to die because you provided no escort for it, or even kept track of it. You can’t expect your supplies to magically arrive are your towers/keeps for free, you have to put some effort into it.
Now it can be rather fun to go into a mercenary camp to capture or destroy it and having to deal with the Toxic Offshoot also, specially since they fight each other.
We do guard our supply lines… But we shouldn’t need a flipping Task force to do so. It’s simply a yak escort/spotters job. it should not take 3-5 players per yak. Right now the Silver mobs take Far longer to kill and do Far more damage than the regular mobs and sometimes even the players who attack yaks. They hit hard and have high condition damage. Yaks don’t dodge bro. The hired guards die to the toxic offcrap…. I’m not saying players don’t need to do their part and maintain supply lines. I’m saying it’s needless and Extremely annoying to have Additional NPC’s Randomly and consistently spawn that kill yaks and sentries. This also attracks the attention of the zerrg sometimes needlessly.. If I don’t have or cant get dedicated spotters… I react to what’s happening on my map. When I see a sentry flip.. or die… I take my crew with me to investigate our third. It’s Ridiculous… Our attention is needed elsewhere.. We need to have this ridiculous living world BS in EBG? Fine.. STick it in the corner of the map please where it doesn’t interact with regular business…. The Majority Doesn’t want it at all. yes That’s factual, proven, Period. The WvW population in General… Hates the living world stuff being in WvW. We Don’t like it… You make your money through Us… Keeping us happy should be the focus. Don’t force us to suffer through a poorly thought Idea for the sake of already having implemented it. Just get it out please…..
I absolutely love the new “No WP after death” update!
Now the people who can’t hold their own in the dungeon with me find themselves watching me fight and win.. gives them a little time to rethink their strategy.
Edit: For example today – Had one person leave the Arah group right before Lupi, so we were stuck with 4. Couldn’t get another in (due to patching and people having a different client version). Ended up four manning Lupi, the Guardian and Elementalist friends were pretty bad at the fight (ended up dying during P2). My ele friend and I then proceeded to 2 man Lupi, no problem.
It makes everything so much more interesting
Any player who understands the game mechanics will perform well.
The FACT is, The dungeon mechanics are extremely unforgiving.
There is no debating this.
Red circles appear in stacks on the ground around your character and give you less than a second to move out of the way only to dodge and land in a new circle and DIE. FACT. NPC’s ignore stealth effects ALL the time. They have obnoxious range, The Most OP cripple/stun effects in the game. 50 Second long poision effects and spells that can 1 shot kill with AOE.
Group comp.. Generally people dont pick the right Rolls for dungeons. They are usually spec’d for solo play . Worse more lost of pugs try to push a group of all 1 class through a dungeon. like 4 thieves and a ele . . . Yes I know it can be done. but thats if they’re all 80 and maxed out + are Good at their class.
With No WP’s in combat I no longer see this happening.
These dungeons aren’t hard once you get the hang of them. But they are unforgiving.
I am Considered Pro with dungeons and I still die due to the occasional mistake but mostly due to the glitchy BS that is Notorious with all the dungeons.
What makes these dungeons FUN was the fact that If someone screwed up there was no GROUP penalty.
Now Dragging a rookie pug through is a massive Pain in the Backside. I simply will not do it anymore.
There is a reason why Most groups that run these dungeons regularly will run all 80s or 4, 80s and 1 level 35+. You hardly ever see a full group of players who match the entry level bracet required for the dungeon. People want to farm these dungeons. They want to make quick work of them so they can spend time doing Other things.
