Guild Wars 2

Please don’t make any changes. I loved all the Halloween festivities. Especially the Clock Tower. I’ve seen several people referencing to old school platform game difficulties. Yeah this was hard, which made it that much more rewarding to beat it. That’s how games used to be. However, today everyone feels like they are entitled to be carried to the finish line because they grew up being told they are a winner even when they lose. I remember growing up and if a game was super difficult it got the most attention, and not in a negative way. The more difficulty meant the more skill that was required to beat it. Some may just be naturally good at gaming, but I think the majority of us invested our youths in difficult games building up that skill level. The Mad King Tower reminded me so much of my younger gaming years. I spent hours learning the Tower puzzle. It’s ins and outs, when to jump or where to place my feet. I can definitely say I died a lot. Then I beat it once …. then twice… and kept practicing until I could beat it nine times out of ten. I spent a lot of that time sharing tips so other could learn from my efforts, and I learned much from other gamers doing the same. In fact I saw a lot of amazing gaming spirit going on during my Tower runs. People were coming closer as a community. Cheering each other on and trying to help everyone out as a whole. Personally I think the difficulty of the puzzle was spot on. Hard enough to create goals in beating it, but not so hard that it was completely impossible. There are many types of gamers, so things like this are not for everyone. But Guild Wars isn’t a single minded game. It has something in there for everyone. Yeah there are people who will feel cheated since they are unable to get something they wanted, but I believe that they should earn that title or piece of gear. Besides the gear was fully available to get in other ways. I know I have two pairs of slippers now thanks to drops in the Labyrinth. I want to thank the Dev for this great piece of work that will definitely fit into gaming history.
