Guild Wars 2

It should be buffed slightly if only:

Becuase removing MF from it is an small nerf
Because an small buff won’t make it overpowered …. by a long way btw.

Allegedly the story is about dragons wanting to destroy world, one was defeated in Trahearne’s Story but 4 other remain. The addition of this unrelated enemy doesn’t seam logical since it doesn’t add anythign to the main story …. that is unless those are some dragon’s servants… as to where does the dragon get so many minions…. well they have a bit of an oriental look to me, Canta is misteriously vanished from game (to the point of the great collapse) so a Dragon having taken over Canta is as good especulation as any.

To be honest though, I am the sort of ppl who clicks the skip button every time I can and I don’t really care. All I wish is Anet would give us some interesting instanced content that isn’t soloable or a plain zerg. Invasions are even amusing the first few times … after, it’s just the most uninteresting mechanics: join a Zerg, cap mobs, survive invisible attacks, collect bounty.

This fight has no skill involved at all, it’s all about reaction time, reaction time being a function of the following: Internet Lag, frames per second and actual reaction times.

Since my internet and computer are mediocre at best and given the non-instanced nonsense I get to add at least 0.3-0.4 secs to my reaction times …. ooops too late buddy.

I generally think in most content the manifiesto is simply not taken seriously, but someone had to be attently looking at it to design the gauntlet, since geting the exact oposite of the manifesto can’t be based just in pure chance.

I understand where the OP and other are coming from, and how they are right the problem about finnishing the PS will only get worst with time, but to be honest I just did Arah story mode today for an alt, just had to lurk for a while the gw2lfg.com website a day with a story mode dungeon in the daily … btw the most seamless Arah run I’ve done, ty party members whoever you were ;P

So you doing it on the spawn points on the right rather than the spawn points of the left makes a whole lot difference? I don’t see any meaningfull difference to be honest, you still can’t take a 5 man team and do anythign else than stay on the fringes of the fighting zone “exploting” AI limitations.

Who cares about lore, I still don’t know who that blonde guy with the fiery dragon sword who died in the shiverpeak was, all I want is to bash a few margonites, not more golems.

:P

I don’t know of anyone who beat it legit the way it’s suposed to be done: going in, killing the bad guys who steal treassure and killing and/or enduring the rest of mobs, attempting to do that results in failed event and armor repairs, the only way to do it before the patch had nothign to do with tactics, your skill with your character, your knowledge of combos, build you used or party composition, all of those only decided how soon your party wiped. To succeed you had to exploit AI flaws and event scripts to make it cake easy that’s not being good or skilled at GW2 that’s being gamey. After patch it is the same, only being gamey is harder.

Does this game need difficult content? YES
Is this the right type of difficulty?? NOPE

I played GW1 for years, when DoA came out almost no one could beat it and those who did needed litrally hours to do just one out of 4 zones, later all 4 were done in 1 hour with better builds. But the difficulty wasn’t solved by jumping over edges, making mobs stupidity clear or abusing scripts, it was overcome with a few great team builds and tactics, that’s the kind of difficulty I want, not having to study the underlaying scripts of of a challenge to abuse the AI.

And yes I did both T4s before patch, my understanding for all those who have been caught by the “fix”, and I use the word “fix” loosely.

I have to completly agree with OP, why on earth make us remove the shield four times and go though 3 cannon barrages when 2 + 1 would have worked out just as well or even better giving Mai some extra challenge, the only challenge comes from tediousness and the resulting carelessness.

Laser boss is both more frustrating and challenging! It can be done very quick once mastered too … that’s good design.

I had fast aoe and buged it, destroyed the kit but couldn’t go back in … still bugged one week after.

Not that twenty something achievement points are going to make me lose sleep but I’d like to know if Anet is still working on it or I can simply forget about this, you know to stop trying it once a day wasting my time.
