First of all: Hes complaining about pretty much everything not being challenging but rather being “punishing”, the fact that GW2 has almost nothing that actually “punishes” you is something hes neglecting entirely.
Second: He may claim he do, but having seen his comments in this thread, I’m going to say no, he doesn’t want challenging, he wants to reduce the difficulty by removing the penalty of just mindlessly zerging the gauntlet without observing the fights.
Third: The longest queue I’ve had yet is roughly 1½-2minutes which in my view is perfectly acceptable, the waypoint is a swing and miss however, theres no reason there couldnt have been a waypoint in the center upstairs with connecting bridges to each of the domes.
Furthermore he is basing his entire claim on that noone finds this content fun, which is flat out false, he also makes up his very own statistics to back up his statements and that provides completely flawed data and as such messes up the actual information that COULD be used as feedback.
This isn’t feedback, its another “nerf the gauntlet” topic masqueraded as one.
I think Lue, that you should read his posts again.
-He has nothing against challenges. Therefore he doesn’t want the gauntlet nerfed.
-He is simply pointing out the unnecessary annoyances that doesn’t need to be there at all. They should have nothing to do with the content being challenging.
It’s the challenge itself that separates good players from bad ones and the unnecessary annoyances should have nothing to do with this so getting rid of them would not harm the better players and their experience. It would only make it a more enjoyable event for everyone.
Punishing players like this is actually bad design for every playerbase. You also have to keep in mind that new players may not even be able to try this event to the full because of some of these things. If this content was here to stay then new players could grow their resources and do it later, but since it’s not here to stay, this is not okay… Thus while I understand that some players may like to lose something when they fail, I think it was a wrong move here since it’s just a short event and hurts only new players and very casual ones with low resources.
Queues, bugs, bad camera etc etc… Now these should not be there in any case.
My friend just got the game so I decided to log back in after being away since before all this started and I’m completely lost, I get these letters saying vote for me, not knowing anything that’s going on.
I track down the voting area, avoid the lv80 crap going on, see the cutscene, neither candidate will talk to me about anything, I cant find anyone explaining who they are and why i should vote for them, So I figure Ill just vote for the pretty one who wasn’t an kitten to me.
All the content thats been building up in my inbox is apparently now gone, this content is very grindy, and I’ve got 1 day to do it all with a level 15 character. (not to mention that ranger I also have)
It just…
shouldn’t be this hard to have fun, let me play at my own pace, let me do storys, explore, PVP, when I feel like it.
I don’t have a lot of time for gaming, and when i do I don’t want to always play GW2, some weeks I feel like FPS, some weeks an RPG.
I felt like playing an MMO with a freind today, and was met with a brick wall and someones taken out the bottom ladder rungs.
I have to agree with you on this. I took a break from this game but once I came back I was totally lost with this whole living story thing. Can’t even imagine how much I have missed out already. Worst part is that you can’t do the old ones so it’s not really cool for new players either.
Why are people still posting in this thread?
It’s not like it will change anything. Anet said that the class is fine as it is.
Let’s try it this way. If you were going for a dungeon and you were missing the last person, which profession would you pick if you had to choose between:
Guardian and Ranger
Warrior and Ranger
Necro and Ranger
Engi and Ranger
Ele and Ranger
Thief and Ranger
Mesmer and Ranger?
Now if you were going for tPvP and you were missing the last person, which profession would you pick if you had to choose between:
Guardian and Ranger
Warrior and Ranger
Necro and Ranger
Engi and Ranger
Ele and Ranger
Thief and Ranger
Mesmer and Ranger?
Just my luck… When I finally start to feel ranger is an okay class and do lots of stuff with it, it gets ruined. Time to go back to warrior then That’s what this nerf is about I guess.
