I agree. Its not challening its just annoying. Why? Many reasons have already been posted.
- Too complex maps. Where do i have to go? Contested waypoints!
- Boring (CC rider thing) and annoying enemies (disappearing frogs).
- Too complex masterie system
- From end game is play what you want too you have to grind masteries
- You always need at least some one else for too much content
- If a map has a few people. People are rather taxiing out.
1) Map complex? I agree and that’s the good thing…don’t know how to reach a place? Learn the map. Even TD once you know the 4/5 entrances the subareas besides Confluence, Lanes and Outposts is really straightforward
we don’t need to be on the same team. if you like it i’m okay with that
2) Ok, tell me how you’d make a combat more difficult, becauser more damage/defence apprently is booring (see fractals) and a smartar UI that can dodge, stealth and CC is booring too. Enlight me pls. I like how the mobs are in HoT maps, at least you have to activate a couple of neuron more than usual….
usually they overdue it. The rider is cc for too long. The frog is unloading and then disappearing. So where’s the battle. should i seek and/or wait for things to kill them. I’m moving on to the next enemy
3) Complex…mastery…system? Are you serious. I mean..is linear arguably the simpliest thing possible..what’s complex aobut masteries?
leveling is linear see below
4) You don’t have to grind them, you actually need there is the complexity and die grinding: just gliding, updraft, mushroom jumping and those are unlock casually in maybe the first 2 hour of gameplay? DOn’t tell me 2h is grind. Others are optional to unlock “special” stuff around (finish collections, more mastery points, exploration, etc etc) but to enjoy the map and the metas are not actually required. You have other higher, longer, goals? Well that’s progression and can come naturally as you play. Seriously I only “grinded” the Tyria Mastery Tree for autoloot and the Itziel mastery bar for poison immunity. I wanted that unlock right away and i worked for that, i was not forced, it doesnt felt a grind. I choose what to do.
5) yes you sometimes need someone else for some content but I can reliably say that more of the 70% of the maps is soloable. Now Champ HP and meta events are developed as group content and I see nothign wrong there.
i do because i want to progress and not spent my time in waiting for others
6) Now this is something i can agree too. But is not an issue with hot but the megaserver/map instance system in general. The system as flaws that have to be fixed, but i have to say people are incredibly lazy and even if i enjoy organize meta, aspecially TD, sometimes is tiresome because people don’t listen and won’t to put a little work in there to succed. Bummer.
I’m honestly growing tired of those posts. I think I won’t reply that precicely as I’ve done now anymore. I mean, try to be honest with you and try to figure out if the stuff is really a grind and is hard or if is the people that is actually lazy and want everything day one with no work attached. That last thing seems more a social issue in too, and I see it often IRL too…meh..
people like i want to play we got work in RL
Cheers
