Guild Wars 2

I respect the attempts to make dungeons harder, however, Diablo 3 had exactly the same problem. Mobs 1 hitting you isn’t a difficulty upgrade, it’s just stupid. Difficulty should be focused on having good tactics to progress and do well.

It’s sad, as others have said on the post, that Anet have not lived up to their theory that ANY team can do all of the content. I don’t know about later story yet as mine is still bugged, but after the dungeon nerf a few of my guildies seem like they have lost the will to play.

The wiki has an amusing comment about re-imagining the endgame and how “we didn’t want to force you to master an entirely new subset of the game”. Surely having to re-trait, re-equip is EXACTLY what this is. There is much less skill flexibility than in GW1 and it’s also not as convenient to apply these changes as you need to w/p to retrainer etc etc.

Having now played 2 games recently from launch that get their teeth kicked in by devs it really prompts me to consider what the point is anymore in even considering a new/alternative MMO. At least Anet are trying to do fixes, albeit some of those are driving players away. I appreciate it can’t be perfect on day 1 but surely during the dev process they must have had some indication of how people would want/attempt to play/farm these zones.

Exploring remains fun but won’t last forever. Please please apply a proper fix.

My story skipped from “A Fragile Peace” to “Forewarned is Forearmed”. My partner Death Ducky created the “Fragile Peace” instance and I accepted to progress ahead at the end. Overnight my story skipped, after I was unable to log in on my ele.

Group was Human Necro – Death Ducky and myself Human Ele – Science Officer Six.
We were approx level 56 or so when we did this, but took a break from story so am not 100% on it.

We both took the Vigil story at Orders of Tyria specifically to progress them together.

I logged a ticket last night because I could not load my main character in, but others logged in fine. Now I have gotten onto my ele today to find the story has skipped from “A Fragile Peace” to “Forewarned is Forearmed” without me doing any story quests. I guess this is a bug. I really don’t want to have to make a whole new character to get this one little middle storyline achievement complete.
