It’s sad just knowing very good threads like these probably aren’t being noticed by Anet, i understand you don’t want to risk saying the wrong thing but come on Anet you know players don’t love broken things, and instead of fixing said broken things fix drop rates or some other phooey.
I came from an mmo, a very boring, VERY grindy mmo, but somehow i was addicted to it for years.
It was one of the bosses that mmo made imo, it was a yellow demon that you had to kill 4 machines powering it, it drops lightning attacks constantly those lightning attacks 1 shot you and it is a patterned where they are dropped. When you break those machines he has a huge amount of other enemies attacking you, while firing beams of lightning, and still dropping the lightning at the same time. If he hits you with his non 1 shot wep attack he heals i think it was 10-25% health forget which.
I consider him insanely kittenly difference is you could have a team of 5 players to join you, but you can solo him which alot of people have done. I consider him one of the hardest bosses in any game way tougher than liadri,
Liadri reminds me alot of that boss i mentioned, alot of the same concept only no orb, and the enemies dont run after you.
Liadri i do not consider a challenge i consider it just pure and simple frustration no learning curve, being cramped inside a tiny bubble, with hard to see aoes, you die you have to walk all the way back, grind tickets to try again, and let us not forget the bugs, sure the game i came from before this i quit because of how grindy it was i joined this game to get rid of that and just play a game for fun.
Dark souls i consider way way WAY tougher than liadri, very fun game, great learning curve, definitly for hardcore players.
Dark souls easier than liadri? Get yourself demon souls then its like dark souls on steroids.

Great idea anthony, but i suggest keeping the 1 shots out of the new bosses nothing fun about that, i love a challenge but everything that can 1 shot isnt learning its just dull.
Super adventure box first though, probly the funnest gamemode that brought the commounity closer together. More backpieces would be great on that too, the backpack cover is cool but got ruined by wings.
This gauntlet however drives people away, with non reviving, braggers, waypoint frustration, and profession loving.
Anthony i can’t keep watching the skies when im inside the queen’s gauntlet, not to mention if i’m a norn or charr being cramped while glitches make it even more impossible.
No sky watching for me
There is a high amount however that are having difficult times on eles, thus me giving him advice. He seemed to take it when he said thank you afterwards.
They just seem like any other pirate kill and want treasure they just like flying and lightning. So they are boring imo.
If i could +1000 i would.
Seems that they don’t mind frustrating things, but good god if somebody makes a couple gold the nerf police comes asap.
Edit: and no i didnt farm subject 7 i couldnt get the concept down.

I don’t rez because i don’t usually get a thank you i get a rushing player hurrying to try to que que. And people don’t rez me so why rez anyone.
If you’re a thief the achievment is a cake walk. No title needed.
You would have a class that is wielder of all 3, sword type weapons for melee, bow for range, staff for magic. That is why no mager will be wielding a bow rifle or pistol (not counting offhand), just seems unfit.
Don’t let this get ignored, this poor soul don’t just waste your time nerfing gold drop let those players enjoy that content, fix bugs like this, and the boss a tiny bit! Sob sob
Arenanet loves greatswords, why do you think they get the best skins? Giving a sword a good skin is a big no no.
Here’s how i felt.
Oh my god one shotted, well i didnt learn my lesson okay next time.
Dang oh well, i like learning curve bosses let me try again.
Oh so wait i can walk through the middle boss? oh god if i knew that earlier
Nope, well i can beat her eventually, as a lover of dark souls i can beat her as long as i try.
100+ tries, about 40 of them being bugged glitched, minor lagg interfering too
Eye twitch
He either wants
A: Everyone to spam his forum asking how?
B: Everyone to spam saying he’s the best player ever.
C: Everyone to call Bull Skritt and have a huge giant forum war, first it begins with people taking sides, then yo momma jokes, then religion, then a forum moderator says oh no you di int and deletes the thread.
I smell dolyak dung.
I keep trying and trying again to master your gauntlet while the “skilled” players are still raining in the i’m better than you nanana boo boo
Somehow (cough bug cough) me and this guy got sent into the arena together, however the mobs only ran after him.
I was pretty shocked so i wasnt paying attention and got knocked down.
The poor guy game over and helped me then dropped as well.
Thus he got kicked out and i remained in the bubble.
I costed that poor man his ticket, his characters life, and his time.
Give this poor man his minature!
Bless you all! sob sob cry, seriously fix liadri and the glitches i mean sob sob
I want challenging.
I do not 1 shots everywhere, build favoring, time limits, profession favoring, and having 2 minute boring trips to walk all the way back to the location.
Anet should play dark souls if they want to make challenging, that right there is a learning curve game.
Alot of warriors have gotten it, full zerg, greatsword and axe, use fear me (to make her clones run from you), fury, and i forget the third thing, use signet of rage when her 2nd form arrives. That’s how a few guild members of mine gotten it, and some famous dude in the game that is known for soloing dungeons.
I do not consider players who have beaten her skilled, she is easy, her location is just bad and the camera is horrible, all the skill that she requires is know how to dodge and good timing.
I hate bosses that have millions of hp like all other bosses, its refreshing to bring her in the game, but 1 shots aren’t the way to go when not everyone wants to be a zerger.
Make them a infinity reward? Please? I wanna be a fembot bwahaha that’d be so hilarious.
I love everything about this updae however
I do not agree with the boss location, right above farmers can cause lagg, i have a good decent gaming pc, but not everyone has a 3 thousand dollar computer.
1 shots, yes this game is all about dodging, but it doesnt make you more skilled than anyone else just because you can dodge on time it just means you are skilled at timing.
Profession favoriting, zergers are #1 here, you have a condition build, or any other build, well forget you because you will die if you don’t hurry.
@MithranArkanere: I believe a hammer should fit the minion style of necromancers thats why i love necromancers , in any game, summoning dead stuff is wicked cool.
When i say minion style i think one move should be slamming the ground summoning a bunch of minions to fight, another move should be the aoe attk that the cliffside fractal necromancer with the hammer uses
@ Electro.41, A hammer would fit perfectly, imagine slamming that hammer down awakening the dead i could so imagine it, the torch is absolutely yes, sure fire is light but what do you know a necromancers fire is made of it could actually be the souls of an enemy.
@Taglor, a necromancer doesnt need evil weapons 100% their are plenty of already used weapons, but those 2 specific weapons couldnt possibly match any class as perfect as the necromancer.
To anyone: It is indeed confirmed that arenanet is planning on making new weapons for classes, its pretty much confirmed that engineers are getting hammers. I am hoping that when these new weapons come out necromancer gets some love too a greatsword is overatted and a hammer of death sounds way cooler, a torch is insanely perfect it doesnt need burn to be a torch as stated it could be the souls that creates said flame.

Watch doctor who.
(edited by Thomassassinate.9370)
The new hammer Entropy is made for the necromancer too, it looks and i wouldnt be suprised if it is the necromancer’s hammer from fractals of the mist, as well as his aoe attks show what a hammer could do.
Remove the bubble, move it somewhere private, fix bugs, and you got yourself a deal.
Fungal not every class should have greatswords if they have greatswords to every class it’d get a bit dull.
Necromancer should have a hammer, it’d be more original, and i can imagine a hammer of death, but i would want it to be a range weapon we already got daggers no need for close combat.
And necromancers should have torches, sure “fire” isn’t necromancery but who knows what lights the flames? Souls of dead enemies perhaps?
Ryu, I’m not sure, i can imagine an elf like archer having a staff but ranger is all about being an archer, who can wield swords. Scholars should always have the, staff even if some staff on profession are meh.
Rangers have the greatsword, having a hammer too seems to make it seem more like a melee profession. I mean sure necromancers have axes but its range, with a ranger unless they are throwing the hammer i see no point.
Engineers definitly
Necromancers already have evidence of necromancers wielding hammers, the fractal cliffside a necromancer is using poison and blood Aoe attks, now that we have a hammer surrounded by darkness necromancers should earn the right.
Reading is for quitters! I’ll wait to see the movie.
Berserkers who won: NO thirs! germ terks skirll!
Right minded individuals: Agreed guardian necro and thieves have trouble with that.
They reminded me of a doctor who episode the price is right one, with the robot with the giant jugs bwahahaha. Doctor who <3
I do agree with that, how does an engy build all that crap but cant wield a hammer?
What’d even be cool is if a engy had a skill that makes you build a machine after you strike your opponent.
Funny thing actually, other than death by falling, there’s no one-shots in Dark Souls. There’s high damaging attacks that can kill you in one hit if you don’t have good health, but nothing that does so much that you can’t survive it.
Thats not true…
- Asylum Demon if you stood on the ledge for too long
- Bed of Chaos def. could one shot you
- Hellkite Dragon (running on the bridge burned you to a crisp)
- Rolling chunk of rocks in Sen’s Fortress
- Wheel skeletons if you got stuck in corners
- Seen Tail Swipes from dragons (Gaping Dragon) take 100% in one swipe
- Stray Demon, if you are silly enough to stand beneath and not dodge
And there are a lot more examples, however I can see your point in DS it was not a “Do it my way or Die” statement, it was always clearly options to how to resolve a combat and also it was always clear what you did wrong.
In some of the fights it just gets to constricted and stacked against you, I dare anyone to turn on post processing and do Liadri…
None of those are actually one-shots. They do a lot of damage, and if you don’t have a good amount of health, they can kill you in one hit if you don’t have high health or defenses, but you CAN take any of those hits and survive (discluding falling to your death as I mentioned before) given the proper health and defenses. There’s a big difference between a one-shot on someone with crummy armour, and their base health being one-shot, and everyone being one-shot.
Yes they are oneshot, I specifically went for examples that illustrated this point. There are also a lot of other examples of combination attacks that although dont take all your health in one blow still means you die without any chance to react to it.
Seeing your life bar being slowly drained or in chunks it is just a visual effect, like for instance you run up a corridor and suddenly a skeleton on a wheel comes rolling at you, if you are not smart enough (to use a shield or dodge in GW2) then you are dead, maybe from 50 small attacks but it doesnt change the fact that you cant do anything about it.
Also if you do the game in the linear order without having previous knowledge about the game and how the mechanics work then youll never be properly geared to survive most of the boss attacks
They may be one shot from the very beginning, but if you replay the game you’ll have proper gear and not get 1 shot. On here its 1 shot no matter what gear you wear.
Who knows what is causing the torch to be lit for a necromancer? Could be the souls of fallen enemies creating it.
I had fun til i got to the guy and the dog, luck based where he throws it, sometimes he threw it right to the dog. Ticked me off til i finally beat him, i didnt say yes! finally beat him i said ugh.
I’m not doing the final boss, i tried loads of times and it just isnt working dodging is great but u arent 100% skilled cuz u can dodge like a pro. Wouldnt be suprised if they nerf it anyway why bother while its insanely hard.
Necromancers should wield hammers and torches.
A green glowing flame, that would make my necromancer look so awesome, and torches have been asked for necromancers all the time, guardians dont need em, rangers dont, mesmers meh make it happen!
Entropy a glowing hammer of darkness, some people want necromancers to have greatswords, but since mesmers do why not hammer? It should be a range weapon with abitlies like the fractal cliffside guy, causing circles of poison and blood.
Necromancer hammer possibilities
1: Slamming down the ground summoning a few or many amounts of minions released from the ground.
2: Like the Cliffside fractal hammer necromancer, using the hammer you cause aoes to surround your enemy.
Necromancer Torch possibilities.
1: I think necromancers torch should be thought as a weapon that is made out of the souls of enemies lighting the torch, the attack should involve releasing the souls out of the torch uppon your enemy, giving poison blood etc to your enemy
2: You absorb all attacks with your torch, where a percent of how much damage your enemy throws on you returns as health.

Weapon and skin are more noticable.
Minis need to be taken out constantly not permanently out.
Minis can get in the way sometimes.
Minis are hard to see sometimes, even with the darkness effect it should look like a necromancer’s fiend.
Whether or not it looks easy on the vid, im sure it took him a million tries like the rest of us.
I enjoy all the hard challenges, the last 2 bosses feel more luck based imo.
Inb4 emergerd irt terks skirll!
What i especially dislike is alot of 1 shot problems, about 3 times when i did bosses right when i entered i’d immediatly be dead, i didnt have a chance to learn what i did wrong, enter dead boom. I dislike 1 shots because sure dodging can take skill but that shouldnt be an entire fight that isnt 100% skill that is just knowing the right timing.
(edited by Thomassassinate.9370)
For not making it a unique weapon and/or backpiece for the reward.
Suggestion: Make the reward a rope and stool after dieing a certain amount of times.
Happened on my very first gambit try, added 3 and i was like oh it spawns other bosses i better give it a tr…dead. Dumb glitch.
Dark souls: Okay guys we will call it the taurus demon, it can kill you easily if you’re not careful when it swings its axe you have a few seconds to strike, or climb the ladder and fall and strike.
Guild wars 2: Okay guys we need this boss to be a good long fight, give it 10 million hp, and require you to just stand for 15 minutes fighting.
“But wait isnt that all of our bosses”
Guild wars 2: Oh yes…okay lets have a boss with your character far too zoomed in, mobs 1 shot you an orb knocks you to it, the boss constantly damages you, while 1 shot lightning zaps down, basically nothing but 1 shots, haha forget armor you worked for…but wait here’s the best part, even if you dodge it sometimes it’ll still kill you bwahaha!
Heard of some guy named thieven stealburg, genious!
I’m picky when it comes to my character names takes me forever. Either has to be funny, punny, or sound either awesome or original.
Thief: Voleur Crudelis (means heartless thief)
Guardian: Eric Charrtman (Eric Cartman pun)
Necro: Zombie Cancer (Heard it on a funny animation video, thought it was funny.)
Elementalist: Dumblenorn (Dumbledore, norn)
Mesmer: Pureblood Heartless (I was able to make it look 99% like a heartless off ______ hearts. (for some reason kingdom is getting censored)
Warrior: Snapdragonborn (Sylvari, dragonborn, snapdragon is a plant, he wears dragon like armor)

Playing the new dungeon after supposedly they fixed the bug where the npc will stand still and not open the door. So many npc bugs where they have a stupid job to do and are like “man this job is so hard i’m just gonna stand here and think about toasters.”
Her job was to push a switch, if her lazy butt cant get in time why dont we just push the switch? Keep npcs but stop having them do jobs.
Another possible idea is add a bugged npc option to their talk diaolgue, where it resets the npc as if they got killed, or kill them because sometimes when they get killed they start working again idc what happens to nvestigator kier her name starts with k so she must die.
Ascalonian catacombs a npc says Dangit (other version) another graveling mound
Hire someone to tell you jokes at 1g per joke.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Everyone in fotm cheers when i have a guardian.
Yea she always says the word, then another graveling mound close it b4 it overruns the camp.
