Guild Wars 2

Nice spoilers in the title, btw.

Anyway : Did this fight on 7 different characters, managed to do it without encoutering any bugs but the floating rift (which happens when you reset too fast). Did it more than 7 times too, because I’ve done all of the story Achievements about two weeks ago. I even helped some random people do it.

This fight was not tested during Beta, and if y’all coded in your life, you’d know that some bugs are quite unexpected. Maybe you’re encoutering a bug, because you had Achievement “X,Y and Z” done, or because you had done Achievement “C”, but not achievement “A”. Or whatever, really.

Give ‘em a break, LOTS of people managed to do the fight without encoutering anything. Calm yo’ kittens, ask for help, take a break or whatever. Send a bug report. But saying this is the most buggiest thing that you encoutered in your life? You might’ve not done much gaming in your lifetime.

UnbentMars.9126:

There are some areas that are locked behind the Chak Acid mastery, unless you’ve found ways around those (I’d be happy to hear them because that’s all that’s in the way of map completion for me)

The Chak Stronghold require Itzel Poison lore. I’ve got 100% on the map, and I do not have the Nuhoc Mastery maxed yet

I usually try to be helpful, but seriously ?

It took what, two days, for people to whine so hard that they nerfed Hero Challenge and Hero Point requirement for elite spec. Meanwhile, I had a Master Scrapper, and was 12 HP away from Master Dragon Hunter. That’s by myself (most of the time) or with ONE friend, both in berserker gear, with him on a class he had never played (rev).

Yes, the first time I encountered a Shadowscale, I yelled WTH. Then I read their tooltip (you know, that thing under their health bar that tells you what a mobs can do? Might want to read those sometimes) and realized that I only had to avoid their Unrelenting Assault and move them out of their smoke. Same with the Stonehead, Arrowhead, Shadowleapers, Bladedancer, etc.

Know what ? Learn, adapt. >You’re in the jungle baby, you’re gonna die< Even the mighty Teq 2.0 can now be farmed easily, while he was considered hard after his remake. Why is that ? Because we all got better ( as in L2P ).

Go do the Migraine achievement in story Act4, make it to the last boss(even better if you took C’s path), kill him, and tell me if you managed to do it without adjusting traits/gear/skills. This is what they want raid boss to be, and it’s not by whining that you can’t AFK auto-attack on the forum that you’ll manage to get better.

(edit : Think I failed the spoiler tag, removed it and the spoilers)

The Mordrem Loop amulet from the Story Act 4 Achievement has Viper as a choice. So there is technically an ascended trinket (amulet) with Viper stats.

Apart from the floating rifts (which only happened to me after a wipe, when I just went back inside instead of waiting for a bit before retrying), I’ve never had any problem. I did it on 3 different characters, multiple times, and did all of the Story Achievements. What are the bugs people are talking about ?

I always read about bugged updrafts, but all you have to do is either jump and glide (which might not work because you might not jump high enough) or press “F” when on the updrafts (you have a prompt for it).

The “penalty room” is probably because of the Hardmode. Think of it like a dungeon/raid from any other game. When someone dies, you can’t get them up and must go on without them. Being able to just bumrush rez other players would make it trivial. This is supposed to be THE fight, you should be able to fail.

I think you might have to consume it, as in open it.

Can’t test myself, seeing as I didn’t get the box for completing 3 of the maps (known bug)

To be perfectly honest, the Function Gyro has it’s use. It seems to rez people really, and I mean, REALLY, fast. Like 1.5k HP per tick, while in combat.

It can easily get someone up in about a sec, even when they are near death. Didn’t try to stomp with it yet, tho.

Medic Gyro ain’t so bad, with the 20 sec cooldown, it’s a nice self heal (around 4.5k without +heal on cast), which can heal over time, doesn’t die instantly with the minion change, is pretty much instant cast AND can be cast while CC’d, combined with Rocket charge for 3 healing leap and Orbital Strike for two AOE Heal. Only thing which would make HT better still is the condi removal.

So ,nobody heard the other voice in the trailer ? When she says ‘’ driven by whispered promises and madness ’’ you can clearly hear someone else say ’’madness’’.

And it’s not a woman voice .

Dodge jump can be a real pain to do. Even more so when you die because you only dodged =/.

Right now ,I have Tribulation mode on farm ,takes me about 30 min for W2 Z1 and Z2 , last try on Z3 took me about an hour ,but I know I can do better than that .

My only complaint is those kitten sprouts at the first rapid in W2 Z2. They already are a pain to do, but having to wait for someone when you help a friend in tribulation mode ? The agony .

Dying all the time wasn’t even frustrating for me, it was funny, like : Oh god ,that’s a cheap shot. or HAHAHAH this trap is for real ?
You learn by dying ,and i found myself avoiding most trap in later zone without even knowing they were there. For kitten and giggles ,I tried taking slightly diffrent path in later runs,and found myself dying right where I thought : There must be a trap right there.

Protip : Avoid taking a straight path to your objective.

Overall 9/10, because of those kitten sprouts (and as people mentionned, the storm wizard just bullrushing you to death when he’s at 1/3 hp)
