I dedicated myself to playing only 1 character for the purpose of getting the lifetime survivor achievement award and played ONLY him for the duration. I recently leveled from 73 to 79 without dying (i just died halfway thru 79) and did not get the achievement.
Just how does one get the award? Because if it is as simple as not dying for 500,000 xp, then I should have gotten it.
I’ll start with giving kudos to anet for the game in general, its the only game I play now. My GW2 experience was greatly enhanced with the recent expansion – southsun cove, fotm, ascended gear, etc. Over half of my gaming time has been spent in expansion related areas.
Now that the pleasantries are done. What happened with the patch on the 3rd!?!? I get the need to change aspects of FotM because of certain areas getting bypassed that anet didn’t intend on (like colossus starting boss) but ever since the patch I’ve had nothing but disappointment. Disconnections, bosses becoming bugged, jump timing jacked up, and while I can’t prove it agony seems to have been scaled up along with boss difficulty for 10+. My groups have had repeated mass wipes on bosses we’ve killed before, the agony attacks occur more often and for more damage, and the attacks we were once able to dodge are now problems.
End result, I’ve lost interest and desire to play FotM, which was once a favored area.
For the very reasons listed, I dumped my lvl 47 ele with GREAT animosity. I now run an engineer and have NONE of the problems as before.
My base issue is that in every genre where a pure caster, like an ele, exists – they are glass cannons…but the ele in GW2 is a cracked glass string of spaghetti.
