Did an intern design these instance events? It's just wave after wave of overtuned trash with AOE sprinkles, followed by lovely gimmick bosses.

thanks alot assbag

I wonder how much of the team works on content cs cash shop bs. Anets lost a lot of good will, hell they're even getting blasted on facebook

All right, it's time to rant. The whole living story just keeps on getting worse. Enjoy your dragon babysitting, fetch quests and wading through endless mobs. What fun! (even if eventually it leads to me flying that said dragon, currently it's annoying as hell)

Now, I've hated the whole "team" or B-Iconics or whatever the hell they want us to call them since the beginning. (except for Canach. Canach is cool.) Most of all I hate how they write my character and tell me what I should think pretty much the complete opposite of how I'd do it. Last thing I personally want is to start stuttering teary-eyed apologies when Braham goes all emo on me afraid that I might've hurt his feelings. Taimi annoys me constantly. (She's young! She's crippled! But she remains spunky! ) The plot seems like it's on fast forward.

The new zone follows their post-HoT release plan - it's fun for a few days but after that why would you go back. Maybe if you really want those ascended gear. Some people always diss the core game zones but they are big and they feel alive in a different way than these meta event theme parks they're pushing out nowadays. Give me loving Timberline Falls anyday over these maps.

Top that all off with the fact that the best looking armor sets are guaranteed gemstore outfit only releases and you got a recipe for why I don't really feel like playing much anymore. (I will probably check out the new fractal, though.)

The over-HP'd trash mobs in the caves at the end of the story sequence were terrible terrible terrible.

The boss fight kinda has a neat mechanic but it needs to be retuned.

I thought the swarms of vets and elites was a little odd, it wasn't impossible to handle, but it took a bit more effort then I'm used to in these sort of things and imagine a lot of people would have trouble or complain.

It wasn't so much that it was hard, as it was really loving boring. It felt like every encounter outstayed its welcome by about 2 or 3 waves.

This, right on the nose. It wasn't challenging, it was padding. Never an 'oh, poo poo!' moment, only tired groans.

Between those and the gimmick bosses, the whole thing felt like a newbie dungeon master with a lot of big ideas and very little grasp of the systems he's trying to bend to fit them.

Looks like if you drag the trigger mobs away during the last fight, they become immune to the boss's gimmick. Cool.

Well yeah that goes without saying, everything dragged on for awhile and the dialog at the end with Emo Braham was groan worthy.

Braham is a whiny baby who needs to be slapped upside his bald head. I get it; your mom died. Hundreds if not thousands have died during the conflict. I don't see all those people determined to suicide-by-dragon their entire race.
He's all "You wouldn't understand about loss". Bitch, please. I commanded the Pact straight into the jaws of Mordremoth. Me. I did that.
I wish I could tell him what I really want to say. "Get over your drat self and think for a single minute or I'll kill you right now to keep you from taking a bunch of people who actually matter with you."

New update is cool and good. Would pay for xpac consisting of nothing but cute activities with baby dragon.


Braham is still an idiot. Wasn't going emo and running off into the jungle without a plan or letting anyone else in on it what got his mother killed in the first place?

Yeah I didn't want to assume race, but I specifically thought about the Charr origin, too.
