Guild Wars 2

Yeah this seems like a great idea. I like my minipet to be around, but sometimes you just sort of forget because you are zoning around constantly.

Please don’t stop! You see making the content very hard is what made it very awesome. It meant that not everyone could do it and that dedication and skill was rewarded.

That is rare in many MMO’s and the idea of it makes it stand out. People will whine but I will always remember how good it felt to beat it.

I hate events where everything is just too easy and there is no sense of accomplishment. This event helped make the event, I wish there were more challenges like this!

So please keep making great and challenging things. The map was fair!

The only part that was questionable was having to jump back down, I still don’t know the “proper” way of doing it, it always seemed a bit finicky. The rest was perfect.

I have to say my heart sank when I saw the recent patch notes and saw that great swords were getting a chance. The skills being moved around was inconvenient but manageable but the fundamental changes were horrendous.

I went full zeal and found that too many of my traits were ending up wasted because the cool-down for the related move (symbol of wrath)was doubled. That meant the zeal traits which gave vulnerability to the symbol as well as increased its damage were much less valuable.

The cooldown reduction on leap was only so-so and did not change much for me. While it is appreciated it does not have enough “wow” factor to make up for big a loss the symbol was.

I found GS to feel less tactical and more hampered by this change. I could no longer use my symbol to help allies or to stack up more damage as reliably as before. Which removed a fun aspect of GS.

So I changed my traits to utilize a hammer and found it was at least more functional. I could get some defense up, I could do some CC and while it feels a tad clunky I could make do. At least my traits could go into things that would be more beneficial.

Going full zeal was fun and I really did like the whole dynamic of it, but unfortunately a lot of what you could do with it revolved around having the symbol available a bit more often.
