HotDelirium.7984 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Can I formally request all these Dragon Response Missions get a QA glance-over:1) Fixing the Champions LFG to create parties instead of squads.2) Prevent the allies from constantly dying so fast.3) Allow the DRM to begin once all 3 mini-goals are completed.4)If we disconnect inside the instance allow us to get back inside the instance.5)For specifically Gendarran Fields, can you place 2 of the stationary allies in more strategic areas instead of where they are?For the Norn allies: the jaguar and raven norn shaman are mostly out of the enemy's path. Also, since we fight the boss at three interludes, maybe allow one of the shaman to come and assist us during that interval.Thank you for your time!

Andy.5981 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Can we also move the respawn on the checkpoint slightly so that when you die and return to the checkpoint it doesnt automatically cause the player to interact with the Portal to leave the zone thereby popping up the dialogue window asking you if you want to leave.

Qaju.2058 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 About the Gendaran fields DRM, the Norn shaman buff you get when you spend Tyrian defense seals toacquire Norn faction help: 1 bleed stack and cripple on 15seconds cooldown. Is that a private Anet joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the waypoint when you"re dead even if your party is still in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think we are currently play-testing them.To me, it feels like the play-testing of everything in GW2 is being done on the live servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKRathalos.9625 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 @"HotDelirium.7984"To answer the title it's simple "No, it's not playtested. Why? because we are (the players) are the playtester." there is reason why they don't have test server because they just treat player as the tester.

Cynder.2509 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Also it would be good if the escort NPCs don't backtrack after each ambush. The whole escorting thing could be a lot faster and less complicated as the NPCs are always so damn slow (for example: you don't need to consistently be close to them and they move on their own) as it makes the whole mission fail easily due to the timer when running full challenge mode solo. The boss fights themselves aren't even long even with challenge mode, they die within 2 minutes in normal and 4 to 5 minutes in challenge mode when solo. It's usually the whole escort thing that takes the most time because, like I mentioned, NPCs are very slow and don't move on their own (you basically have to hold hands with them the entire time).

Even in a full group, these bosses take ages. And there's no way the Gendarran boss goes down in that short a time for anyone with the different phases it has.

Westenev.5289 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 In Brisbane, I died at the boss. It happens. But when I went to waypoint, I found I was lost in the skritt tunnels.Maybe the path could be a bit more linear if we aren't going to make use of the space, or some indication of where to go?

The scaling isn't balanced around average player. It's like forged steel strike. Solo or 2-3 is much faster depending on comp.Destroyer slaying sigil+ utility helps with the melting too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 bah they don't even tested the story. Calling a councillor Vark whereas there never been any councillor Vark.... Vark and Yahk there is a difference.Also it needs boosting by a lot the rewards, and make doing the challenges more more rewarding too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also even if all 5 people are in Eye of the North it is possible they do not get the popup for private instances.2) Even playing full on healbrand the allies die almost instantly.3) Either make it start and lock the mission once the mini-goals are finished for private groups or offer more stat "morale boosts". The reason for public missions to not start once the mini-goals are complete is possibly to make sure the party is filled.4) disconnecting is an issue5) The allies are more or less useless for all the missions if you have CMs on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
