Guild Wars 2

Ok, 5th time on Simin and still no success.

Sparks are not bugged anymore, the mechanics work properly. Although, this dungeon run is not fun anymore because Simin is like an unbreakable wall for over 70% of us. I agree with everyone stating this is more of a DPS match rather than skill. No matter how good your team is at getting sparks, if you don’t have a good DPS then forget about winning.

Everyone who says it is possible is just lucky because maybe she bugged for 5 seconds or so and was able to do it. I really wish they change the battle as a whole. I don’t mind her going into stealth and regenerating but change the sparks.

I agree with who says we need a team who is prepared and knows what to do and not pick up anyone and do it.

It’s actually a shame that we are forced to do it like this :

instead of using the regular mechanic because it is bugged as hell.

Wow, thanks for the video. I am sure a lot of people will find this useful on how to do it.

Would it be bad if i told ya there’s more to do after that fight and possibly the easiest last boss fight ever exists. It took me a long time to figure out how to do sparks and stuff, you just gotta figure the pattern of moving the sparks effectively(unless you are bugging it).

I know there is more to do after Dwayna and the last boss is easier (read that) but if people take hours TRYING to do Dwyana and can’t even succeed if they try to do it the RIGHT WAY I don’t see how it is beneficial to anyone. I play video games for fun, not to live in it and spend all my time on it. Especially on a boss that is just plain annoying because of the sparks.

I don’t entirely agree with you there. I was just playing Torchlight II the other day with my friend in Elite difficulty at low levels. We were fighting a boss and it took about 10 minutes of dodging, tanking, shielding, blocking, potioning (and purchasing potions with our pets) to finally finish him off. Afterwards, we got more potions, reset the world, and fought him again.

I ask you to do Dwayna then again and again. =) Tell me if it is the same as “Torchlight II boss”

Esplen.3940:

Dungeons are fun, it’s just not always the fun you’re expecting. Fun is an opinion, not a guaranteed thing.

Additionally, Arah is the final dungeon, therefore it should be… gasp the hardest.

I don’t mind it being hard, but a boss that takes AGES to kill is not considered fun or hard. Just plain annoying. I doubt anyone goes back to that path after doing it.

Alright, I know a lot have talked about this and no changes have been made so I shall bring it back up.

After reaching Dwayna everything gets messed up. Sparks are hard to aggro at times or they bug out by going around the nodes but never enter them. Dwayna disappears quick at times that wastes all our efforts at dropping her HP down.

I recommend changes to be made. Either:
- Allow her to stealth and regen but without sparks.
- Have sparks but decrease the speed of regen.

Seriously, 1 hour and 30 minutes TRYING to do it and I gave up, for a 3rd time. I thought dungeons should be fun and not a place where we “farm” our time in. I really hope some changes be made at least, for that boss.

As someone who was unable to complete it i still say it was a good jumping puzzle and of a difficulty I would like to see more of.

There were only really two problems with it.

For something that’s really a solo activity other people were generally more of a hindrance rather than a benefit, which goes against one of the main aims of GW2 (other people being either neutral to gameplay or a benefit)

So next time allow people to solo something like this if they want to and the other issue was, something of this difficulty should not be limited to an event duration, the added pressure of “event will end soon” definitely forced people to over do their attempt sessions leading to much of the rage

Totally agree.

If this was a jumping puzzle I can do whenever I WANT then I would NEVER complain about it because I will have an infinite amount of time to complete it and it would be great to actually have a very difficult challenge in the game that only the patient people who are willing to make time for it to complete it.

Josh, those kind of puzzles are great really for the game as long as it STAYS there and not for a limited time. The kind of imagination for this is more than amazing, I love it. The time constraint on it is horrible. Not allowing us to solo this is a hassle too. I really can’t wait to see a jumping puzzle or a mini-dungeon this hard in-game that I can do everyday, we do need new challenges from time to time.

Never finished it and never will. Frustrated me so much and ruined my mood so I gave up completely.

The people who were able to finish it usually had the time and very good reflexes, sadly I had none of that. I do agree with lowering difficulty because on special events like these we always have lag problems, bugs and lots of disconnects.

Whats irritating here is that there are a large number of people with the same problems, be it: unable to have any admin powers over their guilds, certain guild functions not working, WvW troubles, or whatever else.

Yet there has not been a response on this thread from an admin for around 2 weeks I think. At the very least an update that these issues are being looked into would be quite nice, even if the fix is a bit away from being implemented. A simple “We are looking into ‘xxx, xxxx, xxxxx, and xxx’ currently and will update about them soon.” would be more than helpful so that people aren’t sitting here thinking this thread and their pleas are being ignored, myself included.

I completely agree. I have the same issues as posted by many of the users but don’t see any moderator stating what is happening with those issues? I understand you are busy with many more important issues that are causing people to not be able to play with their friends, story fixes and so on but having a guild with lots of issues is very, VERY, bad.

I read that you are trying to make guild upgrades/influence be the same over all servers so I ASSUME that is why we are having those issues. If not, please do notify us what you are looking at about those guild issues, would be much appreciated.
