Guild Wars 2

Ok, so I’ve spent the last 6 hours trying to beat my 1st opponent in Belcher’s Bluff (I started with the Norm one) The game mechanics put you at such a low position that it only causes frustration. Here’s Whats wrong with the mini game.
1. The npc starts with 2x your health.
2. The npc gains the equivalent of 2 drinks when they drink water while your character only receives 1/2 a drink
3. I’m not sure if its a bug. but apparently npcs can belch (which interrupt heals and your bluffs) twice in a row or at least they don’t have to consume 3 drink like you do.
#3 Happens rarely but it has happened to me. That aside, because of these flaws, with their ability all a npc has to do to win is belch, drink, drink, drink water, belch, drink, drink, drink water belch, drink, etc.. Even if you disrupt one of their waters the npc can still bluff occasionally so he’ll still win.
It might be that since i haven’t beaten any opponents yet a special ability could help me win, but i constantly find myself getting to 1/2 health and the npc’s has fallen only is back to 20%. He’s an easy patch for ya. If you can’t (or don’t) choose a special ability at least make it so the npc has equal health. Or how about this, make your heals = to theirs. they can heal themselves to full if they have a bluff in the mix, which has happened. I know they like to drink but I mean I’ve tried almost every method from studying the patterns to trying to keep my head above water (bada bum). Biggest waste of time.
