Guild Wars 2

I almost pulled this off on my warrior… with a lot of work. I had to fight through mound after mound of bugs to get through it though. It’s definitely too difficult in the game’s current state. There are points in the Liadri fight where you literally will die no matter what you do.

You need to maximize your endurance regeneration to even stand a chance with this fight, at least as a warrior. You need to destroy the orbs as soon as they come up, or use them to rally… which you cannot do as a warrior due to Anet completely neglecting to fix projectile attacks being obstructed by structures.

So, to break the orbs as a warrior you need to use some sort of AOE attack to even hit them, due to this bug. On my guardian, I just auto attack once with my staff or drop a symbol under it. This is a huuuuuge problem. ):

Another problem is your gear. None of this would be this much of a problem if there was a way to get free gear/sigils/runes like in SPvP. But… unless you have a full damage set, you will still struggle to even damage this boss, which is VERY expensive for some.

This fight def needs a change, and some possible ways to fix this would be:

FIX THE OBSTRUCTED PROJECTILES STRUCTURE BUG, IT HAS BEEN HERE SINCE LAUNCH!
and
Maybe half the damage of her AoE attack.
or…
Keep it to 1/4 of the room
or…
Make it so its not random
or…
Cease the add spawning in phase 2

I’m sure someone else could add more ideas.

I think this is a good thread. But, I don’t think the general mechanics behind the story missions are the biggest problems. You’ll run across things that are higher level than you, and you will quickly find yourself underleveled if you try to do them too fast.

The way that a lot of choices actually play out in the story brings a lot to MMOs in general. However, my problem isn’t really with the story, it’s the storytelling, the characters, as well as how they act and talk to each other. Everything seems like a joke to them, and there is hardly anything taken seriously at all. This is to the point where the plot often feels like a recent Disney movie due to all the jokes people through back and forth, especially when in moments that should be dark. Not to spoil anything, but there are moments in the plot where certain things happen to certain characters, and hardly anyone seems to really care about what’s going on due to the constant joking, references, and general lack of emotions/reactions the characters have.

The joking can be cute, and even funny at times, but it’s far far too much. Anyone who has done the Orr story missions should know what I mean. This also ties into my problem with the games plot seeming to happy and that there’s a distinct lack of drama. Sure, there are tragedies, but they are rather uneventful and very quickly forgotten tragedies and what was meant to be serious just comes out as funny, which should never happen with tragedy. If anyone has played Factions, you’d know that the plot was actually dark, and in my opinion, was taken much more seriously (in terms of storytelling) than the other chapters. Even in Nightfall and EoTN, it was joke after joke, bookah comment after two legs comment, yet Factions was just right. Sure, the cut scenes were cheesy and at times were a mess to watch, but the story was spot on in terms of drama and serious characters, instead of just tons of women in skimpy outfits and cutesy characters cracking jokes/references every other line.

The player is another problem. While you have choices, you’re still just some random person who’s only real goal is to be the hero, maintaining a feeling of detachment from all of the other characters around you, despite how much you do for them. This ended up making me feel like my character is essentially doing all of this for nothing, as there isn’t anything different I could do that would change how other people treat or think of them.

When it comes to dungeons being included in the story, I think it’s a good thing. Sure, there is a disconnect, but some of these dungeons (depending on your group) can be difficult to the point where you wont feel like even touching them.

Also, I’d imagine that the Tengu would be a playable race in one of the hopefully coming expansions, as well as (plz) ritualist.

I’m sure I’m not alone on this, but I think it’s very annoying hearing the same lines over and over. It gets old hearing my Sylvari say the rose and regenerated line, as well as the humans saying the urge to kill or the centaur lines.

I think it would be nice if we could disable this without turning off cutscene or NPC dialogue, or at least disable specific combat voices, as some of them are nicer to listen to.
