Kurodius – I understand what you are saying but not everyone enjoys doing what you suggest. It’s a game and I’m supposed to be having fun. The personal story instances have gotten to the point where they are simply not fun.
The point that a lot of posters above are trying to make is that they aren’t interested in proving their skill during a personal story – they are interested in story. There are plenty of other places in the game to show how leet you are.
Another reason not to do the personal story anymore…
Well said, Korval.
I mainly want to see how my personal story plays out. If I want a solo challenge, there are Skill Points for that. If I want a team challenge, there are dungeons for that.
The main fixes should be:
Make the NPC’s useful – give them some AI worth a crap and ability to actually do damage
Either have the story instances adapt to the profession or tune them to the squishiest profession
Do not allow armor to be damaged while in a personal story instance. It is not fair that cloth wearing classes are saddled with huge repair bills after doing a personal story instance. This game does not hand out gold left and right (which I am glad about actually) so the repair bills are a real deal breaker.
Worst personal story event so far: Rat-Tastrophe (Anka above also talked about this one)
Profession: Staff Elementalist (Fire)
Level: 44
Recommended Level: 42
All the NPC’s died in the first wave of tiny destroyers. No breaks between waves so that I could rez at least one of them. By the sixth or seventh wave, all my armor was broken and I couldn’t fight without dying immediately. Also when restarting from checkpoint – the mobs were right where I respawned instead of remaining where they were supposed to be. I think I died at least 10 times.
It’s a PERSONAL story. If they want you to team up, then it should be a dungeon, not a personal story. That’s bad design.
Not having trouble so far on the personal story with my ranger (level 50). But my favorite toon is my elementalist, and I’ve been dying a ridiculous amount of times in the Rat-tastrophe segment. The repair costs for dying are pretty high in this game too.
I am two levels above recommended for Rat-tastrophe and I cannot complete it.
Does it matter if you do the personal story? Or can you just skip it? From what I’m reading it only gets worse for elementalists.
They either need to make the NPCs in the Personal Story stronger or the mobs weaker depending on profession. Cloth wearers simply cannot face dozens of mobs at once, or wave after wave of mobs with no break.
Same on Tarnished Coast, it’s been bugged for a few days.
Agreed – two stuck dynamic events and one bugged skill point on Bloodtide Coast, also a bugged skill point in Dissun’s mine in Dredgehaunt cliffs – that’s off the top of my head too. Please restart server as there aren’t enough people playing to get into overflow server.
