Guild Wars 2

Escort Warmaster Chan to Shank Anchorage…

After 30+ times of attempts on this event, I am not only questioning whether I even think this Event is even possible, but I’m also beginning to question whether or not this game is worth continuing to play.

It seems to me, that no matter -how- many players whether it is a small group of 2-3 players, or even 1 player. Or whether it is a group of 15+ players, this mission is completely impossible to actually strategically succeed at. My guess is, to actually beat this event, it will have to be based entirely on luck, and luck alone.

The issue isn’t that there are too many players, or even too little players… The issue is that 6 Risen Nobles will target people Chan’s group as they walk down the very beginning entrance to the area, where the entire group gets funneled into a full group of these nobles. When this happens, though the Nobles are obviously incapable of single targetting down 1 member of the group at a time, their AoE, which tics once every second for 2-3k dmg, will land on multiple targets. When you get 6 of these nobles together, 6 aoes spawned ontop of each other, with a group of NPC’s who are incapable of “Evading” the attacks, 12k dmg minimum a second, is just -too- much for them to survive through. Whats the point?

Can anyone offer insight here? I’m seriously upset that I bought a game to basically have to depend on beating an event that is completely impossible to beat. Whether I’m with or without a group of people.

+1 to OP – I’d love to see housing added to the game. I’d love to see housing, it makes great way to dump gold, as well as a great way for RP’ers to enjoy the game more. Though I will say that I do believe other content is also important. Do I find it -more- important? Nope, I sure don’t, but I don’t find adding housing more important than adding more story, areas, or dungeons either.

I really like homebrew’d console systems, why don’t I ask sony to put out the next FF game for my homebrew console system as well? I use it to program and I like the idea, its really cool, so Sony should publish for it as well!!

So by your statement, then all PC’s are made for Windows. Instead of being the other way around…. Windows being made for a PC…. Last I looked, a PC is still a PC, no matter what OS is put on it. Microsoft does not make all PC’s and their hardware. However Sony makes their Playstation Consoles to run their internal OS, not the other way around like your Homebrew. Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of running Homebrew, but the Sony Consoles are made for their OS, and their OS alone.

PC’s are made so that you can install Windows, Solaris, Unix, DOS, Linux, or any other OS Compatible with the hardware inside a PC. It’s actually the reason Mac moved away from creating its own hardware, and started using Intel, AMD, NVidia, and ATI Hardware.

i would rather see more content rather then a new client for those 3 extra players

This is simply just an ignorant statement that is made to troll the people who want a Linux Client. Even if you DO actually believe that there are only 3 Linux users throughout this entire game, or even 1% of PC users running Linux, it still doesn’t make it correct. No instead you are far off in your ignorant, non-educated estimates.

I personally support Linux, but do not run it… I wish I could, but unfortunately I am a Gamer, and for now will run a hacked version of Crapdows 7 until ANet releases a GW2 Linux Client. I refuse to Dual-Boot, because I see no reason to have two OS’s for anything other than to say “Hey look I’m cool and can run 2 OS’s”. Also, that being said, I can understand why OTHERS would want to Dual-Boot for reasons other than what I have stated. Some people actually work for the Government, and they use Linux -all- the time. Some people actually work for Corporations, and just about any major corporation out there realizes that Linux is the more secure OS. Thusly, the Government, those Corporations, and many others use Linux for Servers and Desktops. In fact, that is actually how a lot of people make their money too. By being Certified Ethical Hackers, going in and hacking a server, just to show up at a company’s doorstep to show them how they hacked it and what they should do to fix it. In return, most of the time, the server will get setup on Linux, and the “Ethical Hacker” gets paid for their services.

Then to top all of this off… We have the release of the piece of crap called “Windows 8” recently, where companies have to PAY Microsoft before their programs can be listed in the Windows Store. Sooooo, let me get this right…. To be listed as an official program that is installable on Windows, you have to PAY Microsoft? What about those new programmers? Those new companies? Doesn’t Microsoft already make -ENOUGH- money without demanding that everyone pay them more? No thanks… I’d rather pay for my PC and be done with it… I will pay for my software too, but I won’t pay just to be able to install my software, or even pay just so that I can RUN my PC.

+1 x 10^infinite
For a Linux Client! I’d donate the cost of the game over again, if I were guaranteed a Linux Client for my current GW2 Account.
