Guild Wars 2

No elitist falacies like “l2play” are a bad excuse to justify badly balanced content.

While admittedly people should and will get better at it, the bar is just high for about any lower population server and newer players. Proof of this is how the only servers to accomplish this have been Blackgate and Desolation, both Very High PvE population servers which probably had a bunch of hardcore players from other servers guesting in them at the time too. This is with the optimal condition where the event is new and most people actually want to be involved rather than doing something worth their time.

It seems people have forgotten this is a world boss and as time goes this is supposed to be beatable by less people on an occasional basis without the massive coordination that went into beating it. New people, which I suppose the game wants, will perpetually not know what to do and just be frustrated. As time extends people wont even want to participate in the event because its either to frustrating or they already did it and don’t want to deal with it again; all in all this becomes unbeatable and content that would be better off simply not existing as no one is doing it and the small groups that want to are in no way able to. Like the scarlet events which I still have to see a successful invasion past the initial release, people lose interest and the “permanent content” is as good as non existent.

This is not an elite area, it is not something that can easily be organized, its simply impossible for lower population servers and the rewards are in no way proportional to the difficulty.

Have a problem no buff goes up when I close a portal.

nope, tried again and made SURE that I got GOLD completion on the portal events, all within 15 minutes (31 minutes in countdown), 6 events all minions (no aether/molten) and still no completion.

Need to know what could be causing this.

Also having issues, made sure iver participated, destroyed enemies and tagged the group, in less than 15 minutes and still at 0/1. Not even 1 portal counted.

already even participated in 9 areas sucesfully and no achievement

While I like the idea of new unique phantasms….. id like thsoe to be added into the normal skills bars instead.

Id just love a elite skill that summoned 3 iZerkers at once just to have a zerg rage with the possibility of 3 zerkers followed by a shatter.
