Guild Wars 2

How was the battle well thought out :S

There was no actual strategy or thought involved. This is how you had to do the end battle. Equip ranged weapon → target anything near the the ancient karka that is targetable → start auto-attacking → take a nap until you have to target something again. I am not exaggerating when I say I did not have my hands on the controls during 50% of the fight. That is simply ridiculous and in no way fun.

People seem to be really impressed by the explosives and stuff. But in terms of raw gameplay it didn’t add anything. After the reinforcement you had to attack those gas things, which is basically just like attacking a target dummy.

People are too impressed by the art around the design. Also, the ancient karka was basically a scaled version of the other ones, so the art wasn’t even that good. -.- Although I will admit it is a nice change from the risen

The combat is boring because of the way it is setup. The enemies rarely have interesting attacks and everything you do you don’t really “do” yourself. For example on my guardian I have a skill that allows me to jump towards my target and then hit it. While it would be so much more interesting if I could actually jump and then press an attack button to attack. Hotkey combat is basically outdated and really uninteresting for controlling a single character. Better to go play a hack ‘n slash like darksiders or something. Then you’ll feel the smoothness of movement.

Animations do have a role in this too, I do agree with you on that. But really most of the time it is best to just get out your ranged weapon and stand there attacking until you enemy drops. With the exceptions of some dungeon bosses.

Nooooo!!! don’t repeat the horrific boringness! It was too laaaameee. :’(

Even the people who did the event are pissed, because it was kitten boring.

There is only a handfull of extreme fanbois that still dare to defend this. It was just horrible. Seriously, I took my hand off the keyboard during 70% of the event, 10% was trying to get on top of random pieces of the environment and the last 20% was running to the next spot where we had to stand for an hour killing karka…. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugghhhh, I was bored. I almost quit halfway through, but then you’re already so far and u don’t wanna quit, you know what I mean probably :/

This event was ridiculously boring. I don’t care about rewards as many people seem to do. But come on, nobody plays a game just for the rewards right, that’s ridiculous :s

During the event I seriously had my hands off the keyboard about 70% of the time. Just waiting for enemies to die while my character was waving around his scepter. I got so bored I started trying to get on top of random pieces of environment to pass the time. I’ve been dissapointed by nearly every boss in the game, but this one definitely takes the cake.
