Guild Wars 2

I think part of the problem, apart from the levelling aspect, is that in a personal story you’re being forced to take on large groups that most people probably wouldn’t attempt to solo out in the normal PvE world.
When you have mobs that can take you down in two or three hits when it takes you upwards of 20 to seriously affect them, and there are four or five of them, it starts to get a bit tough!

I’ve had notifications pop up and I’ve activated the map to see where they are and seen nothing on the map at all. Whether it’s a bit of uncovered map or a glitch I’m not sure but it’s not helpful when that happens!

The problem, Paulus, is that for some builds at certain stages of certain stories, it’s not a possibility of defeat that’s being complained about, it’s the impossibility of making further progress without taking half a dozen friends along. As far as I’m concerned, a ‘personal story’ should be soloable for everybody.

I’ve had the same problem with my necromancer in spite of its huge amount of health. Trying to complete “Forewarned is Forearmed”. It’s in the Lions gate sewer system so it’s under water. My necromancer was levelled down from 55 for this stage of the story.

Through the tunnels there are jellyfish which have a habit of disappearing into the walls. My sidekick follows them and eventually sees them off…hopefully. There’s no way to tell.

The problem is further in when I come across an Undead Scout and a Risen Shark together. They seem to be made of titanium.
Being underwater it’s hard to see properly, there’s no room to manoeuvre in the tunnel and I’m hitting these things for something like 48 points a hit. Meanwhile, each of them is biting me for nearly 500 a time. I couldn’t get one of them down to half health before they’d had me trying to swim for the surface…but, of course, it’s a tunnel – there is no surface!

As far as I’m concerned that’s the end of the story. One of those would be more than sufficient, both together is impossible for me to get past.
