Guild Wars 2

While the new content is fun (mostly…except for the drinking game with Irongut, which really ruined this one for me), the frequency of it makes me feel pressured to play. Yes…pressured…as in if I don’t log in I will miss something, or won’t have time to complete all the content to get the nifty thingie at the end. When my hobby which is supposed to be relaxing and fun starts adding to my stress, I step away from it.

At this point, if I miss the beginning of new content, I’ll largely just write off the game for two weeks until the next content comes out. I’m glad there is new content, but AN should slow it down a tad…once a month would really be just fine.

By the way…I noticed something…if he doesn’t have his signature move active, and you do Belch followed up by Drink Water, he almost always then activates his special…when you’ve just spent two of the three items you can use to (probably) avoid losing health. Then when he hits his signature move…you are left with drinking for three straight turns. This happened a lot in the three hours I was trying this exceptionally, staggeringly disappointing mini-game.

Supposedly this was fixed? Sorry, but it certainly was not. I just spent three hours on a Saturday night banging my head against the wall trying to do this content (and it is just for a single step in getting the overall achievement). I’d have rather gone out to a movie or something. Here’s what’s wrong as I see it:

1. He has too much health, and takes too little damage from drinking.
2. He still spams his special over and over, and on top of it he still gets to punish you way too often.
3. As everyone else has noted, the player’s damage from drinking and points restored by healing are backwards…should be 10%/20%, respectively, as described.

Until this is fixed, I’m not trying this anymore. It is an utter waste of my time and has really soured me on this event. Are these things never tested (and by testing, it means played many times, not just a few)?

I’m having the exact same problem, also with two pieces of Whispers armor. Screen shot attached.
