@Feanor.2358 said:Nope, that's wrong. Quality content (which raids are) will make players play it

once

. Replayability in PvE needs rewards.There is a big difference between using rewards to keep people playing the content, and using them to

lure

people into the content. The former is completely normal and okay, but that's not what we see with raids.

You're speaking as if there is only one type of players and they are all either in for the content or the rewards. It's an oversimplification and it misses the point completely.

There will be always those who flock to rewards. Remember Tarir when multiloot used to be a thing? There were 9-10 maps successfully done in prime times easily. How many are there now, 3? Is the content bad? No, it is still quality content, as it has always been. Quality and rewards are both factors,

for everyone

. Some lean toward one, some lean toward the other and that's personal differences.

The thing with raids is, there is a higher barrier of entry, on two separate accounts. First the number of players. It's easier to gather 5 than it is to gather 10. Second, the difficulty. Rewards are needed to, in your words, "lure" players in because of this barrier. It would otherwise stop too many players and the game mode will fail to even start. This is another factor you overlook.

Take a week to beat a boss, no uh uh, shouldnt take more than 10-15minutes. Am I talking like an adult as you put it Turin, well yes I am cause I am speaking with authority. The garbage mechanics from raids need to go bye bye, NOW.

Sure, go ahead and make a game without mechanics. I'll just grab my popcorn and watch it flop. :lol:

Flop like Fifa Ultimate Team and Candy Crush. :D

@Kal Spiro.9745 said:I still don't understand what the problem was with this. I beat him with auto attack by walking backwards. The only time I used a different attack was when he lunged to break his break bar. Nothing fancy, just walk backwards, he's too slow to hit you if you just keep walking backwards, and keep him from using his move. It took forever, but it was completely successful. This was before the nerf.

He sucks you in too you cant just keep walking backwards if you not doing enough damage it will just be a stalemate forever. That was before any nerfs.

That means you're not breaking his break bar. Obviously if you're not breaking his break bar you're not going to get anywhere, but it also means you're entirely failing this fight since his break bar is insanely easy to break.

Yah like I said I did it once before any nerfs. Without changing my equipment or redoing story but by bugging him on my ultra survival ranger. If I didnt bug him I would have been in a stalemate with him forever as I wasnt doing enough dps. I only came into this thread in response to the guy that was baiting earlier.

Ultra survival ranger. That sounds like my build. Cleric gear and signets with longbow. And I beat him by walking backwards and auto-attacking. So...

Ok you go with that story but mine is authentic.

Facts, guy. This was a cake walk before they nerfed it. Just break his break bar and he can't use his special attack. He doesn't pull you in, he doesn't heal up, he just follows you dumbly unable to do anything. I had to do this stupid thing twice because the first time it crashed while I was talking to Joko after the fight. It worked both times, it was pathetically easy, and this was in the first week on PoF. If you had issues, and you're not looking at serious lag problems, then the only possible issue is severely lacking skill. It isn't even git gud, it's get mediocre and you can beat this boss every time.

Ok you just trolling me. Careful who you troll in the afterlife can be brutal for you.

This is about as relevant as raids get. Cause the content is not accessible. I would seriously love to never hear about raids or fractals again if they rely on bad invisible mechanics and having a perfect connection with no lag cause even chat causes some lag.

In most games raids are always played by 10-20% of the player-base. Thats how challenging content works. Just because it is not relevant for your guild it does not mean its true for the game. A niche game mode is still valuable for a game.

So we dealing in tenths or fifths of the games total population thats willing to go thru all the hoops, deaths and can see the invisible mechanics that I cant. Even with 2 people against Vale Guardian, I cant see that teleport. And beating a boss nowadays requires passing a book report first. NO THANKS.

Your inability to kill a boss does not really say much. Just like the fact that I find no problem with these same teleports in VG does not really prove anything either. The point is that a game mode does not need to played by 60% of the player-base to be valuable and relevant to the game. GW2 in general wants to keep players by providing several things for all playstyles from casual to challenging. That why you have WvW, sPvP Open world PvE and so on. A game mode is not dying if it is not played by the majority. Its dying if it is not played by the audience its indented for. And for raids that audience really likes it, thus it is quite successful in that respect.

And even though the raiding community might be a minority it has relevance to the game. Raiders are playing a lot, often are paying customers since they invest on the game, add to marketing by streaming and add a lot in class understanding from theory crafting for PvE.

So from a tenth to a fifth of all players now we are at 40%. I killed one VG boss two years ago after too many deaths now two years later I am bored and wanted to try it again after 12 deaths in a training group that also wanted to use distortion i reached my limit. I am just upset at not having new content accessible, rewards and ap are locked there. And all the rares dropping in Pof instead of silver or new rewards.

maybe they should make the stretch and yawn separate emotes so we can spam them if we really need to in game and they wont effect toons in story scenes.

Make raids easy and puggable or watch them die when no one plays them.

[Eater of Souls fight is too difficult.]

Wow some of you are openly baiting people. There are worse players there are better player thats not gonna change. I did this terrible boss before it was nerfed and on my original survival gear. I bugged this boss to kill him as I was not going to switch gear in a story mission and it took an hour to get to this point already. You should never have to change gear in a story mission. Now they need to make raids puggable or just keep it as mostly dead content theres your touche for supposedly demanding harder content.

[Would you like Winter's Presence & Nightfury to be convertable into Infusions? [Merged]]

I like on shoulders cause i can turn it off when not wanting to use it. More stuff needs to go into unlocked rewards in achievement panel. Aurora legendary is a mistake to have on one toon only. Maybe they can add an effect panel per toon and let you turn off and on, on equipment screen. As well as overwrite with six different unlocked rewards.

[Essence of Luck after you reach 300%]

maybe give it a copper value at vendor, one copper per luck

[PoF: annoyingly huge aggro radius]

Maybe if they let you use mount even in combat it would be much better. Then you can skip as you want and not have to fight 30 mobs and no one can drag more to you that you have to clear before you have to mount again. Like gliding is atm, classy.
