Guild Wars 2

Grimno.6172:

One dungeon Idea I think would be cool would be a verticle idea.
A massive climbing dungeon with pits and traps and all sorts of things.
Maybe an aetherblade gunship shooting at you with cannons and following you up and mmmmmmmmmmmm

dude that’s a great idea, a climbing dungeon

As long as we get out watchknights back.

Now you tell him to open the portal and you go in.

If it doesn’t work, go back and kill champions again and those items will re-drop.

…I think.

It doesn’t matter. You still get the map reward, and the achievements, and good amounts of money.

mrauls.6519:

I had some extremely high expectations for this patch, and I can’t say everything was met in the way I wanted, but I’m still enjoying myself. BUT, ANet told us that this patch would tie together every living story and make sense out of the things we didn’t completely understand… I didn’t learn anything though!

Scarlet was behind all of it.

I like her just the way she is

I got both. You only need to be on the map and zone there in the begining and stay till the end. Participate in killing some pirates, champions, Scarlet’s minions and you will get it.

The bonus chest is a once a day reward, and for doing the invasion the reward is also a once a day reward.

You need to wait for the Dailies to reset, then you will get the rewards again.

Yea I can’t get to her for the chest either. Buy hey, at least it’s not as horrebullz as Liadri was == Liadri was so stupid and a total disaster >>

I loved Scarlet’s Playhouse !! It was so much fun, I had a great time doing it <3

After the disaster that was Liadri, and the horrible achievements that go with her, this was absolutely awesome ^3^

The end fight with Scarlet wasn’t too easy and it wasn’t too hard. It was perfect!!

It’s how Liadri should have been. It’s how she should be, when the gauntlet comes back.

Thank yooouu (=^_^=)/

Thieves, mesmer and guardians can still farm deadeye, still very easy on those

impossible on warrior now, but i guess i’ll have to be okay with deadmaw

when i get my cultural chievs and the other chievs that require money, i won’t care abou money anymore i’ll just waste all of it on TP

Learn to share, people.

Oh, and I forgot to mention: The timer needs to go.

There should be no timer on liadri…

Laidri, being thrown outside the dome and being spawned dead and the timer in the gauntlets.

It was fun being an achievement hunter.

But then I met Liadri.

GW2 is not fun anymore.

70 tickets spent, I called it quits.

I also don’t feel like playing gw2 anymore because of this, at all. I stopped doing dungeons, I stopped doing dailies, I just log on to chat from now on.

Took away my motivation to play the game, I come to relax and get some chievs not to get frustrated.

i log on to relax, liadri is not relaxing at all…

if anything this has severely turned me off from the game i don’t even feel like doing dungeons anymore..

i hate liadri and i tried about 70+ times, i had around 120 now i got 48, i hate her and if I would get both achievements i would still hate the fight because it’s just too hard and not fun at all…i stopped trying and i feel like quitting the game, in fact i’m playing it less and less because i couldn’t get those two achievements that i wanted…

not to mention she’s a sadist that whipps people with a horsewhip like we’re slaves or something… un.cool.

that’s just great… T_T

they only nerfed farming deadeye with warriors, but as I can see, thieves and guardians can still farm him…juuuuuust greeeeeaaatt ….. -__-

I don’t want challenges in a video game. I come to relax and pwn everything and pretend I’m godlike. I have enough challenges in RL….

I say, give easy mode and hard mode.

Easy mode: Liadri has 75% less HP, does 75% less damage, and does not have a cripple skill. No rifts spawn and once phase 2 starts, the aoe 1shot kills stop. Remove all 1 shot kills.

Hard mode: The way it is now.

Rewards for easy mode: both achievements and the miniature
Rewards for hard mode: botch achievements, the miniature and 10gold

EDIT: oh, and people don’t spawn DEAD outside the dome on the catwalk. We spawn alive and well.

We were doing a jump puzzle.

Around 980 000 to 1+ million influence, 250 merits.

So we go and do a jump puzzle, and our whole guild disappears right before it ends.

Nobody got rewards either. There were some people, about 10-20 that still had the tag. but most lost it.

When I press G It looks like the guild doesn’t exist. We had around 350 members with 100+ log in every day.

I was disappointed that they didn’t give those that just want the achievement and miniature and option or choice to choose some kind of nerfed easy mode and just get the achievement, and those that want hard mode or a challenge to give them the option to choose hard mode.

DanteZero.9736:

Ok, after beating Liadri, I thought I’d point out some issues I’ve come across when fighting her.

AoE rings blend in really well with the floor.
I mean they blend in really, really, REALLY well with the floor. As other topics have said, it’s incredibly difficult to see them. To be honest, this seems more like an inherent flaw with the ground targeting “artwork” that has been made much more apparent. Why aren’t there any colors that can make the red, thin AoE outlines stand out? Why not make the AoE rings into an actual AoE field with a repeating pattern that rises from the floor to show where an AoE attack is about to hit?

Pressure. Lots of it:

1. Time – you have two minutes
2. Grasping claws – constantly firing off
3. Insta-kill shadowfall
4. Insta-kill clones
5. Kill cosmic rifts before they pull you

That’s a lot of pressure elements and while you guys (dev team) might laugh or smirk at my assumptions (most players only see the tip of the iceberg here folks), I think that the so called “challenge” is the ability to manage all of the pressure that you are under.

If you ask me, that is frustrating. Just off the top of my head, the most memorable one-on-one fights I’ve ever experienced happened in Devil May Cry 3. The fights against Virgil were truly challenging and I honestly was hoping for the Queen’s Gauntlet fights to be similar to those fights.

If I had to be specific about what I’m talking about for those fights, I’m talking about the “tell” of his attacks, his counter attacks, the amount of times you can actually hit him before he performs a counter, how he can CC you, the frequency of his attacks, and his various counters.

One hit knock outs aren’t challenging, they’re frustrating and feel cheap.
The point of being challenging is to push players to the brink of their skill. If you have fights that combine past mechanics, that’s fine. But when you have a fight that combines past mechanics and introduces more than one new mechanic, then things are no longer going to feel challenging (at least for me).

Frustrating gauntlet mechanics seem to bring the worse out in people.
I’ve been in situations where people don’t even bother to rez you since that would somehow take away their precious time in the arenas. It doesn’t help that you die outside instead of appearing back alive.

It seems to me that this was intended to be a gold/consumable sink what with the high amount of deaths that a player is likely to face. I don’t know about other players, but I burned through all my achievement chest rez orbs (selfish people), more than 2/3rds of my repair canisters, and a medley of consumables.

Various other issues

1. Targeting is crap.
2. Camera zoom inside close quarters (near walls/solid objects).

Some very good points.

Can you do it with a warrior, make a video and let me copy it ? I’m trying to get light up the darkness o.o

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Sorry about the titles. This was kind of an oversight. I am nearly certain that the Gauntlet will return. Possibly as part of the activity rotation someday. Ideally we’ll extend it with more tiers of bosses, gambits, and achievements (and titles). I’m not sure if its possibly to retro-actively associate a new title with an old achievement but I will investigate. If so perhaps we can add some titles when the Gauntlet returns.

I’m sure you will give people the option of easymode and hardmode. So that those that only want the achievements, titles and miniatures will get them and for those that want a challenge will be able to choose a challenge. Give those on hardmode more gold too, i don’t care, just give people a choice in the future.

Yep, thieves are still farming it.

You know, that’s a good idea.

Give those that only want the achievements and the pet an option for Easymode(unlimited time, liadri 50% less dmg, 50% less hp)

I don’t want a challenge, just the achievements and the pet.

I would buy a quaggan plushie or a quaggan baby keychain <3

Hello.

I realized this with Liadri.

I am an achievement hunter. I like getting achievements. I love it when I hear the bell sound and the sight of achieving and achievement and getting points.

I’ve done ALL living story achievements so far. I am stuck at Liadri, with the Light up the darkness achievement.

Now, for those that like a challenge, they say they’ve enjoyed it. Those who hate challenges or don’t care about challenges or get annoyed by challenges say they absolutely are disgusted by the difficulty level of Light up the darkness and that they hate it.

I’m one of those people.

But, instead of just whining, I have a solution that will make EVERYONE HAPPY.

Give the choice of easy mode and hard mode.

Easy mode is for achievement hunters that just want the achievement done and get the points. Hard mode is for those who LIKE A CHALLENGE. They will get the same rewards, except that they will LOVE and ENJOY beating a challenge. And you can even give those players a bag with extra 5 gold in it.

I only want the achievements, I don’t care about the challenge, in fact I don’t like challenges at all.

Those that want a good challenge, will have it.

Those that only want the achievement points and miniature, will also have it.

For example, easy mode = unlimited timer, liadri has 50% less health and does 50% less damage.

Hard mode = The way it is now. The bonus bag would yield those who like a challenge an extra 5 gold.

Everyone happy.

And you could do this with future content too.

Give achievement hunters EASY MODE and give challengers HARD MODE.

It’s just a suggestion =)

I don’t want the HoM GreatSword to become purple, but making the smoke more dense and visible would be nice.

Since I was a loyal GW1 player for 7 years and still drop in to say hi.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have a video of a warrior getting Light Up The Darkness?

If yes, please do link it to me. I can’t find it on youtube so I could copy and get the achievement.

I also feel that this should have an unlimited timer.
I also feel that for those who like a challenge, there should be a hard mode and a bag with 10 gold in it,
and for those that just want the achievements and find a challenge a nuisance/annoyance there should be an easy mode with no money at all from it. Just the achievements points and the pet.

Thank you.

They only removed a Warrior Zerker’s ability to farm him.

He can still be farmed on mesmers and thiefs.

either way liadri needs a nerf

shimmerless.4560:

I found Liadri quite enjoyable and I’d really like to see more stuff like her in the future

To ANET: I found Swiftness (or having some kind of mspeed buff) was maybe a little too effective overall. Possibly in future encounters you could have a hard movement debuff that stacks in intensity per hit, with each condi clear removing one “stack”.

please don’t give them ideas…it’s already too hard

shibby.7219:

All those in favour of having the difficulty reduced on this boss: (post a comment to show your support and your ideas on how to fix the issues)

From the mountain of bugs:
Obstructed cosmic rifts ( a bug which has been there since launch AC burrows I feel they should just be removed (the rift not the burrows))
Camera in circular dome ( smart idea arenanet the camera sucks as it is your just making it worst)
The targeting system ( it sucked kitten launch and it still sucks hard GW1 had a better system)
Previous bosses not despawning ((doesnt happen all the time) wasting tickets and money on repair)

Attacks
The AOE (overpowered I think the pattern should remain the same as phase 1 or either reduce the damage)

• The clones* ( same issue reduce damage)

Clearly designed for hardcore gamers. I wouldn’t mind the one-shot downs so much if it was a group event like in a dungeon but not in a 1vs1 fight, it’s just like quick scoping on CoD, just leaves a bad taste in your mouth

Arenanet need to remember not everyone is a hardcore gamer what happens to the casual games that arenanet are excluding with theses events. Not everyone wants to play a berserk practically all the guides online used a berserker build

I know a lot of people are complaining about this on the forums, and I think with good cause there are many issues that need resolving.

I have a zerker, but i don’t like playing him. I fact, i don’t like playing DPS classes at all. I allways choose a defensive build on my toons, and I had to retrait dps for this. I like being tanky, and I like slow fights, i don’t like having to play as a zerker ;_;

I really don’t like the fact that this excludes any other casual and normal players… and I h8 the fact that only zerkers can do it…and that it favors mesmers and warriors…

Excalibur.9748:

There should be a title for defeating liadri too.

‘Champion of the Queen’s Gauntlet’ – defeat liadri
‘Lightbringer’ – get light up the darkness achieve

Well, similar topics have been made before and the dev has already responded saying this is infact an oversight.

I suggest both titles be added retroactively though.

I concurr.

Adamantium.3682:

I think that this achievement should have a title, considering how insanely hard it is to get (and how little titles are in the game anyways). I appreciate that the mini is given just for a regular Liadri kill so more players can have it, but I think those that go the extra mile should get more than the 20 AP. A cool title like “Vanquisher of the Darkness” or something relating to this boss would be awesome.

I burned over 60 tickets trying to get this achievement, and I would do it again even if there were never a title. I just think it would be a nice gesture to those that went the extra mile.

lmao 60 tickets? dude i burned 120 tickets for ‘’meatless murder’’ ….don’t talk to me about burning tickets, these gambits are HAAARD…and I burned about 50-60 for high stakes gambler before i was taught how to do it on deadeye…

Manoa.5897:

Crap. Deadeye was probably my best (maybe even only shot) at getting the gambit achievements. Yet another example of ArenaNet’s exploit early and exploit often philosophy. Thanks for ruining things for those who haven’t gotten that far yet farmers!

except this wasn’t an exploit, there were no rules being broken.

This was certainly an exploit. An exploit is taking advantage of a bug or loophole and playing the game in a way that was not intended by the developers. Obviously, it was never intended for players to be making hundreds of gold by farming Deadeye. This farming very much had the potential to significantly impact our in-game economy. If it wasn’t considered an exploit, Deadeye would never have been changed.

Good rule of thumb when it comes to identifying exploits…if it is too good to be true, it most certainly is.

but it wasn’t too good to be true, for every 20 gold you made from opening bags, you had to pay 9 gold to buy more entry tickets…

Patch notes are there to tell us what changed in a patch. They lied.

Simple principle to understand. No need to be so disgustingly bitter.

Maybe ANet just wanted to imagine the looks on everyone’s faces the first time they went back to their Dunwell-Farm and got gibbed.

This is the reaction ANet wanted. Well played..

Esp for somone like me who bought 1250 tickets , i converted 600 b4 (1 hour) the shocking patch (NOT shocking actually)

Ouch…i bought a stack, used a stack, repeated. I got a stack now, and I haven’t done the two Liadri 20pts chievs so I guess i’ll use em up for those

Fungalfoot.7213:

A Massive Headache.1879:

except this wasn’t an exploit, there were no rules being broken.

While not an exploit in that sense people did exploit the fight for easy gains.

And then some of those people asked for the fight to get nerfed once they were satisfied with how much dosh they had made. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an MMO community as messed up as this one to be honest. The gold obsession is just ridiculous.

Then I guess you’re not going to be happy that it can still be farmed with ease?

it doesn’t count if only thiefs and mesmers can still do it T_T

Well they failed miserably at that. Still happily farming with 4 gambits. They have no idea what they’re doing.

Well good for you, thief. But I’m a worrior ;_; It’s over for me :’<

Bovinity.8610:

Yes yes, ANet took your toy away and didn’t send you a personalized letter to let you know. Do make sure you let everyone know how outraged you are.

Why do you hate children? This has nothing to do with toys or children, it’s about the patch notes. They let out important information, that’s supposed to be there and that’s the same as lying.

Xodus.7802:

careful guys i just got 2 infractions and my posts deleted for calling them dishonest

not telling is the same as lying, and it is the truth, i guess they don’t like the truth and truthfull patch notes….

Anet, I am disappoint -_-

I voted Evon too. I love Abaddon.

Yep, because of people like OP.

Please nerf Deadeye. It’s getting horribly boring killing him over and over again the whole day. But since it’s so obscenely profitable at 20g per hour, there’s simply no other activity that I can do.

I want to go back to dungeons etc. But as long as Deadeye keeps rewarding me with vast amounts of wealth I’m forced to do only that. After all…that’s why we play right? To get rich?

P.S: This is not sarcasm. I’m serious!

I lol’d @ RL

Well you got your nerf. Personaly, I loved it. I loved everything about it. I love repetition. I loved farming cof p1 over and over the same thing, while playing 5 hour mixes of Sheepy Mixes and liquid chillstep.

Today, I am a sad quaggan.

i was playing yesterday, farming deadeye, before it was nerfed -.- and i got into a match in the dome with deadeye (mine) and oozes (not mine) and a guardian was in the dome with me, we both died ofcourse being all wtf why are we in the same dome..

Fungalfoot.7213:

Shpongle.6025:

OH COME ON!!!! I just learned about it yesterday!!! I didn’t even make 40g from it…COME ON!!!!

Do it on a guardian. No change whatsoever and they already had the easiest time farming it.

I don’t have a guardian -__-’
