her aoes do not have a pattern ive done the fight enough times to see if it there was one.

Pattern of AoE:

Phase 1:

You are placed in a random spot in the arena, however, the light field is always in the same spot. 1st AoE is on opposite side of light field, 2nd AoE is on light field (forms a / in turns 1 and 2). After that the AoE goes adjacent then opposite again (forms a \ in turns 3 and 4). The AoE then cycles in that exact same order until phase 1 is over. Light fields and bombs always spawn in the same spots, only thing RNG is where the rifts spawn (the time in which they spawn is not RNG), which, if you’re paying attention to, you will always have enough time to kill before they pull.

Phase 2:

AoE now covers 2 spots rather than 1. Always forms an hour glass (forms a / in first turn, forms a \ in second turn). The safe spot it always where the AoE just landed and the danger spot is where it was just safe.

that is wrong, iv’e watched enough fights and done enough to know those light fields and mobs spawn in random places hell you can watch people do it for long enough to see that, not to mention those aoes are completely random they do not have a pattern.
this fight is completely RNG based
the second phase is more predictable but those safe areas aren’t safe with most likely 5 1 shot adds and some crazy chick spamming med range cripples, in the same area and not to mention 9 times out of 10 those adds are gonna hug her, and not to mention the random spawning light portals don’t help at all.
it be great if the light portals decreased the damage of the 1 shot instakill attacks but they don’t the only use they have on the second phase is if you’re going after the 8 crystal achievement.

not to mention the add will explode and throw you, and kill you if your standing somewhat in the portal when they hit because they don’t hit the hitbox soon enough.
there is no pattern on this fight other than the 2 insta kill fields on the second phase.

Perhaps the light fields look like they are in different locations, because you’re moving around?

If you are facing the north side of the dome, it will look like it starts on the right. If you are facing the south side of the dome, it will look like it starts on the left. So I can fully understand why you think this fight has no set mechanics. But when you learn to play it, you’ll be fine!

no this isnt about which side wall of the dome they spawn on, i mean the light circles will appear in different random locations for each fight.
theres more than 3 spawns for the circles, and none of them are set.

this fight is completely RNG based, i’ve played FPS games and learned what to do theres still luck but not as much as this, iv’e learned pvp for this game and what each class can and cannot do and what most people will do. again theres luck involved but not as much as this.

iv’e played rouge like games and learned the patterns of the enemies, learned the secrets thats less RNG based than this.
this fight is just bad.

the only challenging part of this is like going up 10 stories of stairs with no legs, for some stupid reward that will be cool for 30 seconds then go into storage for the rest of time, and you thank god that, this ordeal is over.
tell me, do you re fight this boss because its fun? or because you want the other achievements tied to this fight? do you try to fight this “challenge” with only white gear or naked? do you try to add handicaps to the fight because its just not challenging enough? and you want artificial difficulty? do you re fight just because you found this fun?

whakittens like on the forums,

everybody that beat it: content is fine L2p a broken boss
everybody who hasn’t: poor design.
if you sooooo desperate for a challenge there are plenty of other cheap games, but A-net is a business company wanting to make money, they still have to compete with every other MMORPG, and making skill gated content is stupid for drawing customers in.

Zietlogik.6208:

I have given all the advice I can, but it seems you are simply hell bent on ignoring any rationality behind the ability to complete this.

It is possible, it is hard, it is challenging, there are just alot of annoying bits to the fight (camera for example…)if you actually re-read my first response, I agree with alot of your points, but you went into rage, singled out some bits that you just wanted to complain about on the forums, and seemingly ignored the rest.

The patterns are there, the ability to complete it is there, and with some practice it will all come together.

I can’t even begin to imagine how jaded people would be, if open forums to complain existed back when this type of difficulty and challenge was a staple to basic “end-game” design and developers caved to the feedback.

Regardless, I don’t care about the mini, or the achievement. I simply like to complete things, and if I start something, I intend to finish it regardless of how many tries it takes, because it makes the victory all the more sweeter…that is just the type of gamer I am.

This type of content is for a certain type of gamer, and I am actually glad that Anet is appealing to a wider audience with it now (similar to Halloween Clocktower). If you are not that type of gamer then this will not be something you will enjoy doing even if you complete it. You are not being forced to do this, you don’t need that mini to survive, or those few achievement points to continue playing the game. This is content you can choose not to participate in.

the clock tower was easy to do, so was the Christmas JP after it, but it had no factor of luck other than getting a random crash, this fight however does, you can try to defend some poorly designed boss all you want, but the fact is she is not a hard boss, she is not a challenging boss, she is just a poorly designed boss with artificial difficulty. her aoes do not have a pattern ive done the fight enough times to see if it there was one.
take out her stupid attacks that 1 shot that is highly dependent on lag and if theres a zerg ball below, those adds that spawn behind you because your staring through an eye in your stomach
and what do you have? some invulnerable boss that goes crazy when you break it. in other words a trash mob.
but fix some of the bad design and guess what you have? a better boss fight without the artificial difficulty.
not to mention de syncing because of the drop in FPS and lag.
explain to me how im supposed to dodge an attack thats 2 seconds ahead of its animation? and goes in and out.

yes i don’t have to do this rage inducing fight, but by that same notion i don’t have to complete the story missions i don’t have to go to orr, i dont have to WvW, i don’t have to level up my crafting, i dont have to create alts to experience the full game.
like i said before poor design does not = challenging. this fight isn’t challenging its just stupid.

a poorly seen 100k attack and insta kill mobs in a fight are never a challenge, its just poor design.
challenge does not mean rolling the lottery, im not saying take out the insta gib attacks im saying drop their damage so they punish you if you make a mistake and don’t just outright murder you and then be denied because an orb spawned and it was “obstructed” right before you die.
your only piece of advice was learn to W,S,A,D instakill mobs spawning out of your sight.

you know whats fun? trying to avoid her 1 shot adds that fill the arena and avoiding the 1 shot aoes while you’re stuck staring at your beautiful back because the dome doesn’t allow you to back up to it. or go near it.
i have a new appreciation for my holographic shatterer wings, because of the close up i get whenever im running around the arena.

and that poster was defending some poorly made boss because he managed to defeat her while it was hard and doesn’t want it to be any easier because he thinks it will devalue his achievement, and mini.

i get why people want challenging content that not everybody can do, it comes with prestige, but those people have to also understand their playing a MMORPG with a lot of emphasis on special items and looks.

GW2 does not have to be your challenge, there are thousand of games out there that are challenging.
i’ll name a few that are somewhat cheap as well and that you can easily get on steam.

the binding of isaac. wrath of the lamb.
rouge legacy, or any rouge like game.
super house of dead ninjas
the demon souls and dark souls
FPS games, they vary but they have older and more realistic FPS war games.
chivalry medieval warfare, again its skill based.

all these games you can watch pro players do it and learn some secrets but it won’t make it that much easier.
you have to learn on you’re own, almost all of them don’t have stupid hard to see 1 shots, and even if they do their easily telegraphed.
liadri is none of this.

• at this time i have to log out now because its super late, so if you reply to me and i don’t answer or provide a counter thats why. its not because im ignoring you. *

all of these suggestions don’t have to all be implemented but at least some of them will drop the poor design and add to the fight as actually being challenging.

this is at the bottom and these suggestions will make the boss a better design, it’ll still be a challenge like dark souls is but more easily doable since someone can easily make a guide. so that everybody can enjoy the content.

making a purely skill gated content into the game for a very small minority is a very stupid decision that only adds work, and loses customers. especially since its a T rated subscription free game.

you know back before there where achievements where there were still challenging bosses or things you could do to handicap yourself.
and you did them for no reward, other than the simple fact that you could do it, and nothing else.
would you honestly do this if it didnt have the now valuable achievement points, or that mini? would you do the 8 crystal achievement if it had a 0 behind it.

if EVERYBODY can enjoy the content by looking up a guide or doing it the hard way then that will add to the enjoyment of the game by everybody, thereby increasing the number of people playing thereby making A-net more money; therefore letting A-net make better content.

see where im going here?

to the above poster i take it you beat it because the RNG gods loved you, and now you don’t want it easier because you had to work harder for it than if the rest of the people if they changed it.

this fight is not fine, at no part is a hard to see 1 shot a challenge, and the 1 shot adds will spawn behind you while you focused on the camera and everything else.
and no the crystals are not about timing their about luck, the only part about timing is picking them up and throwing them before the short timer is up.
iv’e made 6 accounts all 80 and have played this game since its release its not about learning your forward, backwards, and side to sides.

and no why should i have to screw around with my graphics just to defeat some stupid mechanic? why do i have to lower my graphics to not what they could be? and lower my enjoyment?
the aoe does not have a pattern, just because you got lucky doesn’t mean there’s a pattern, iv’e watched and done this fight plenty of times to see theres no pattern.
and with the second phase there is a safe zone right after the 1 shot, but is there a safe zone when its filled with 1 shot adds and some mad chick spamming cripples?

remember this is to make it better and still be challenging not poorly designed just because you had to get lucky and completely change your build or even character does not make it a good boss fight.

it’s poorly designed, NOT challenging.
there is a GIGANTIC difference between the two.

on a side note i do love how they implemented the new skins, even if they are a complete rip off, for skins, but its 100000000x better than wasting a kitten ton of money and praying to the RNG gods, while having a ritual sacrifice of your cash going on.

theres plenty of challenging content in the game, like the champion risen baron guarding the skill point, fighting the eye(s) of zhaitan, soloing a dungeon, fighting a champion in general.
if you don’t want to look for them or challenge yourself then its your own fault not A-nets for not having skill gated content. you just don’t wanna look for it.

if you are really worried because more people will have that precious mini then add the mini to the 8 crystal challenge.

i’m going to use dark souls as a comparison since its literally a perfect example, if you go into that game new and inexperienced you are going to die, die, die, die, die, RAGE, die, RAGE, die, SUPER RAGE, destroy something. you then look up what to do you come back and succeed somewhat but still die, but you make it farther and farther until you get to the boss.
where you die, die, die, die, die, die RAGE, die, RAGE, die RAGE, die SUPER RAGE, stop playing before you break something else, look up how to beat the boss.
find out you can get good and beat it the old fashioned way, get it to jump off the plateform, or cheeze the fight with an exploit or certain build.

its challenging but exploitable so EVERYONE can enjoy it, and not have it RNG gated.

this fight should literally be the same way where if you don’t know what to do you are going to die, waypoint, repair, runback over, and over, and over. or you can be smart and look up how to beat her, much like dark souls.
its still gonna be challenging but at least people will know what to do.
and not have to go VIGOR, VIGOR, MOAR kittenING VIGOR!!!!!!!!!

i do not get why everybody says liadri is “challenging” shes not she’s just stupid annoying hard, and almost the worst designed boss ever.

but she can be easily reworked to where people are punished and not murdered if they lag, make a mistake, or are colorblind.

1. the 1 shot kill aoe cone, take one of the 0’s off the 100k hits, that way it won’t kill everybody but only the zerkiest of the zerk.

2. the same 1 shot aoe, change the attack to shoot upwards instead of crashing down on the player this will make it easier for everybody to see the attack since a cone of black blobs will appear at their feat instead of hard to see red circles.

3. the the 1 shot adds who’s damage doesn’t show up in the combat log, change them to a stun or daze when they hit you with the same damage as her auto attack, and when they do they destroy the light crystal if you’re carrying it, maybe give a random condition like weakness, or vulnerability.

4. make the arena bigger, or open it up, there’s plenty of space up their for those domes to extend in size.

5. that blinding blur….take it out and make it a gambit, its stupid to be instagibbed because you’re blinded, if you really wanna make the fight harder than it already is just add in random condition blinds that won’t hide her attacks.

6. the light crystals, change them to orbs like many of the previous fights before her, so you can grab them on the go and not have to stop to pickup and throw, god forbid if you have 2 or more.

7. make it so the crystals last for more than 20 seconds, or don’t disappear in your hands.

8. instanced, instanced, instanced. nothing makes a rage inducing fight worse than culling and lag because there’s a gigantic farm right below in rendering distance.

9. make it so she’s not such a mad brah when you break her EZ mode shield, or slow down the add spawn rate in the second phase.

10. have the cone of 1 shot death go around in a preset pattern and not randomly going after you or not going after you, and have them change directions every time you hit her with a light crystal.

11. up the time limit to at least 5 minutes or higher than what it already is.

12. make it so in the second phase the 2 cones of 1 shot can’t hit you if you stand in the middle where she was, but don’t put it in the patch notes if you do, and put stability on her if you think people can abuse that and stunlock her to death. or have it so her adds go to her in the second phase and reward boons and in return their weaker. or add a dark circle there that puts vulnerability or random conditions on you if you stand in it to long.

13. make it so every form of damage mitigation works instead of only blocks.

all of these suggestions don’t have to all be implemented but at least some of them will drop the poor design and add to the fight as actually being challenging.

you wanna know what i remember? i remember when you killed a challenging boss or monsters for no reward other than the fact that you could do it.

i also remember when people knew what was a challenge and not poor design.

liadri isn’t hard shes just poorly designed. i don’t get why people think that poor design = hard.

if you want hard go solo the champ baron in orr guarding that skill point or the eye(s) of zhaitan

Doggie.3184:

As for the other question, probably not, Anet just hates Thieves exclusively.

HAAAA!!! best joke of the day right there.

its a glitch or a break in the environment where you’re hit box will fall for long enough to take damage and it’ll just be multiplied until you die.

iv’e had that happen to me on jps where i’ll jump on some angled platform at the same height and take falling damage or just instantly die.
and then proceed to be extremely kitten ed.

bmabrey.7859:

if you don’t want to rank up alts, don’t make them.

that idea is completely fullproof and not at all a stupid suggestion. (sarcasm over)

not making alts is like completely ignoring half the game, and also not being as useful as you should.

Better just to remove downed state completely

apparently you’ve never been thieved before and getting bursted out of nowhere do you really wanna make thieves even more OP than they already are?
or do you want the QQ to be so high that the forums will be filled with it and the thief class will be killed in order to fix it?

so i was running around on my warrior on my home BL clearing things up and was running the GS S/WH and i ran into some thief that i decided to troll and make him run around forever till i got bored.

now this thief somehow was able to keep up with me running perma swiftness and all the movement skills, not only that he seemed to have ready supply to almost perma swiftness, and infinite initiative since he seemed to be able to spam pistol 3 on a d/p build, and heartseeker to keep up with me, hit me for a 5k backstab through 3.3k armor and somehow be tanky enough to not die in 2 hits.

ive seen him a lot and fought him, and i know he somehow has a lot of armor and damage.

i have a thief and what i wanna know is how he was able to do all that.

drop a feedback on him and watch him rage.

if you are a mesmer and ele under water you rule the oceans like aquaman wishes he could.
if you’re a thief underwater then whats wrong with you?

I sometimes get the impression that ET is seriously broken and has issues that are completely incurable at this point outside ANET having a “special transfer weekend” where it opens up 50 free transfers to the bottom server.

-Plains@HoD

Can you expand on this thought? What part do you consider broken on ET?

i am also curious.

ET has spent several months meeting with a highly unqualified psychotic therapist who has determined the source of all problems are…daddy issues. See ET was abandoned by its daddy while on a WvW bidness trip to T1 many months ago. ET’s daddy found a toothless Asian stripper named FlabbybobSparklesKisses that entranced him into thinking BungholeGate would bring him WvW cyborzsexy good times for eternity. How would anyone ever recover from such madness? Thanks for caring.

-One Angry Motha

Are you saying that Mend transferring servers caused ET’s current problems? Move on bro.

Mend couldn’t even cause a problem even if you tried.

why would mend want to cause a problem when they can just farm the sea of red for hours on end. whos needs CoF P1 when you have the mend farm that people just love to throw themselves into. hate all you want but lootbags are still filled every night.

i usually avoid them so i don’t get embarrassed if i die to them.
fullproof plan

the megadestroyer is a champion and he will drop those new champ loot bags, thats pretty good for an easy pre-pre event that takes 1 person and the actual pre that takes at minimum 3 people.
not to mention the boss can easily be 3 manned

what nerf are you talking about?

use adrenaline before you use the whirling axes, only thing that gives adrenaline faster is the heal skill and signet of precision

i don’t really do fractals but what is doge? maybe thats why i’m not into fractals because i don’t know how to doge, or what it is tbh.

heartseeker can be used in place of a shortbow 900 range teleport as a movement skill, in fact since its a leap with the swiftness on dodge it’ll go farther than 1800+.

heartseeker does have more uses than being spammed on a full health warrior.
if some warrior is really giving you that much trouble then leave him and go find something slow like a mesmer or ele, you should have no trouble catching someone when their only movement skill is stuck on a 40 second CD thanks to all the QQ.

im surprised the blind stomping isn’t on here, d/p thieves can just pop a blind field over the guy and he can’t do anything to stop it.

i think a better question is, what were you doing in the water as a thief?

apparently you’ve never ranger longbow’d 5 onto a group of 5 with 1 guardian shouting stand your ground in the middle of it and keeping everybody alive while you kill yourself off the retal of 5 people.

you wish thieves had it bad with retal.

lol you’re having trouble with thieves and ele’s? how bad are you? every time i’m on my guard and i find some solo thief or ele and just ignore them and keep walking to my destination.

because 1 or 2 things are gonna happen they’re gonna try to kill me and fail badly, or if they’re giving me trouble i just heal to full with staff 4 and walk to an area where they can’t kill me or their gonna just end up killing themselves.

RTL can get away from a guardian and thats about it, thats literally all its good for. because apparently the class with the lowest armor and hp can’t have mobility as well.

Jayne.9251:

I’m probably wrong, but I think it’s the animation you get from repair mastery.

nobody was repairing and the keep was just taken and not attacked, couldn’t of been repaired in the first place.

so what’s going on here? other than providing something to stare at for hours on end.

its even better when you suicide for a wooden chest and all you get is a support token, least the kites give boosts.
or the infamous wooden doly chest in WvW.

i wanna sneak up on somebody and smack them with a churning earth out of nowhere. if you think thieves back stab is bad just think about churning earth then immediately go to fire for fire grab or switch to air with a scepter for the lightning burst.

would be sooooooo much crying.

You would defiantly need to do this from range and teleport in, as the first CE hit would reveal you.

that would be the point on the fresh air burst build, stealth up to enemy activate churning earth it hits you get revealed immediately switch to air get the f3 switch attack, pop the 2 lightning bolts, RTL, updraft switch to fire, fire grab then use a arcane blast or wave then go back to air and re burst again since the arcane skills always crit.
or use the arcane power i think its called for 5 guaranteed crits.

Berethor.6142:

The level of tears in this thread honestly scares me.

You know what scares me? How easily some people dismiss what others must deal with, and throw around solutions like they’re the best thing since sliced bread.

I don’t know the OP’s situation, but I’m not about to sit here and explain that they must just suck because it’s just as simple as pressing a few buttons. How presumptuous must someone be to think that the OP hasn’t done everything in their power to attempt this?

They even explained how they’ve tried for multiple hours to get other jumping puzzles, so when they say this is a problem, I tend to believe them.

The thing is, the OP isn’t the only one dealing with this. As I’ve mentioned above, there are entire groups of people who have been struggling with this content due to the fact they’re not anywhere near a server (in that instance player solutions were, “Get a better internet”)

I think some of you need to take a step back, stop assuming, and try understanding. While it’s nice to give advice, try to do so without taking down to others. If you have a legit idea, by all means voice it, but leave out the accusations and insults.

even if he was effected by lag and he couldn’t press 1 then w he still has lightning pull which can not, i repeat CAN NOT be affected by lag. unless its so bad every leap skill puts you in place, and even then if you’re Internets that bad you shouldn’t be playing a online game to begin with.

Nalora.7964:

Dagraan.2854:

its not a jumping puzzle and there is no complex maneuvers you have to do to get to the top, there’s only 3 jumps and its the air training ones.

in fact there’s a lightning crystal right before them under a ramp and all you have to do is press 3 then move your mouse cursor over to the platform and the lightning leap will jump up there.
and if you want to do it the regular way then all that is required is 2 buttons, 1 then W a man with 1 arm and his mouth can do them.
hell a guy with no arms can use the lightning leap and get past those jumps.

not trying to be rude to you but stop making excuses when a-net gives you the option to not even have to use the air jump and then W.
if you want to i will personally show you the path that requires only those 3 jumps and even then if you can’t make it then how hard is it to ask someone in your guild that has a mesmer for a portal past those 3 simple jumps?

First, I use the arrow keys and the mouse to play. I have one finger on the left hand that I use to move using the up and down keys to move forward and back. My right hand only has a thumb and palm that work, so I use my palm and my thumb in kind of a wonky twisting motion to press the mouse to turn and move. I have tried binding the jump to the end key which is next to the up arrow, but this only works for pretty simple jumps, and as I said, not reliably.

i dont know if you didn’t read the part where i said all thats required is 2 buttons the first action key and the move forward key, not only that the lightning leap only requires you to press 3 move the mouse to the desired spot then pressing the mouse key or what ever you press to click.

you have at least 2 fingers you can do the training jumps to get to the vote boxes, or you can just use your mouse hand to press 3 to activate the leap scroll over where you want it to go and click there.
stop making excuses, you’d have a case for other things but this…no you have plenty of options and anet gives you plenty of ways to get up there.

first option: press the 1 key then W their simple jumps and you’ve proven you can do simple jumps and have at least 2 fingers.

second option: theres a lightning leap skill crystal right under the ramp that you pass when going up to those 3 simple jumps you pass it right after the cave area just go to the left once you go back outside and it’ll be right beside a merchant.

third option: get a mesmer.

VOLKON.1290:

I’d like to see Karka farming Stonemist Castle, just one. ANet spawns in a handful of Champions, just to shake things up. Especially if the karka win and the castle is unclaimed for that time period.

no it should work like the karka queen boss event, once this happens over and over in a short time it spawns a karka queen and a bunch of upleveled young karka all over the castle with a few up leveled champ and vet karka mixed in spamming rolls.
and people only have 10 mins to kill the queen spamming that gunk move before she takes over the castle and is replaced by a legendary giant overgrown grub, or spirit.
that you have to kill
and once she leaves she moves over to a random garrison and repeats this process until all garrisons and castle is taken.

god help you if you put that on a big fat norn in a jp with a bunch of people.
you should get a big shiny distracting sword to make people hate you even more in jp’s

whats you’re brightness set to? because its impossible to tell if you’re lying or not? but there are problems with the warping back up to things with these type of things. goemms floating lab jp i think has that type of thing where you can fall out of the jp and onto the top of metrica

its not a jumping puzzle and there is no complex maneuvers you have to do to get to the top, there’s only 3 jumps and its the air training ones.

not trying to be rude to you but stop making excuses when a-net gives you the option to not even have to use the air jump and then W.
if you want to i will personally show you the path that requires only those 3 jumps and even then if you can’t make it then how hard is it to ask someone in your guild that has a mesmer for a portal past those 3 simple jumps?

so let me get this straight you’re using a broken cookie cutter bunker build thats meant for pvp and you’re doing pve?
how about 1 using the f1-4 skills and pressing 1 through 5 and scrapping the build you are using right now for a more damage focused one so you can kill the mobs before they kill you.

and try using ether renewel, 15 seconds with some of the best healing and the almost best condition removal in the game is a god send in pve since mobs generally dont stun you.
if that still doesn’t work then i’d say scrap playing an ele because if you cant improve then its a lost cause.

the mobs only get up leveled so far, so more people means more chances that the threats to the pact team will aggro on players and not the npcs.

if you did the malchor farm while it was still active you’ll see that the mobs only do so much damage before their capped, same with their hp pools
