Guild Wars 2

A learn to play issue? Hardly. I don’t mind a challenge and sure, these dungeons and specially exploration mode, give me that challenge but its not a learn to play issue.

These dungeons are not end game, no matter how you look at it. The dungeons are just horrible untweaked and utilize horrible gameplay gimmicks to make it look hard.
It is nice that you have a nice big guild that likes to run dungeons using voice chat, but the majority of people Pug because of various reasons. For example the guild not being online, having different work hours etc.

These dungeons should be doable in Story Mode as a Pug (which I actually believe they are) and even in exploration mode, albeit with more coordination and communication. However it is a shame that bosses and even demi bosses that wield no loot require the use of weak gameplay mechanics to damage the players.

AC exploration mode 2 for example. The first real hard hitting mob you face is the Queen spider. utilizing a weak gameplay mechanic of poison and what seemed to be fire(or whatever those strange fire explosions are) These poisons stick so long on you and bleed you out fast, specially if your a low HP class. Not perse a problem, except for the fact it casts like 3-5 rings in such a way you’re almost always caught in the middle of it and thus get hit. You can dodge it but, most of the time you’ll barely make it and with the low 2 point dodge system..well options are limited.

Then comes commander Kohlen? or whatever his name is. This boss really uses a 1 shot gimmick attack that pulls you towards him. The visual animation for this is hard to see and there has been a few times it just pulled me away from behind a pillar.

kitten like that gets on my nerves. I am not an inexperienced MMO player, I know the benefits of team work and communication and yes dungeons like those in WoW, even the hard mode ones, were extremely easy to complete.

So yes, I do enjoy the harder challange these dungeons bring, but I also acknowledge that these dungeons require a few changes here and there. Tweaks if you will.

I agree, a decent LFG system definitly needs to be implemented.

@Efaica learn to read the opening post and not just the first 2 sentences. You’re currently making a fool out of your self.
