Only difference is the people doing that, cause the instance to fail and bam, 15 mins of afk'ing in game and getting squat and actually causing other people to get squat. Its different with Marionette because you are taking up a slot that someone who can make a difference could be using. Whereas with Dragonstorm, you can solo the entire instance. some people afk'd in Marionette sure, but its always on the low to 0 side. And now they can't for awhile as private you extremely need everyone doing the work.

Don't worry, Mag will go back to T4 once they lose Sbi next re-link, Servers keep their link till a re-link happens 🙂

This 100%. The Marionette is extremely fun and actually takes effort. DS is boring easy and near impossible to fail, so people afk it.

Anet devs continuing to knock it out of the park! Booyeah lets go! ❤️

Alliances means wvw will finally be improved and worked on, it will be better for everyone and give better more balanced matchups for each player.

I've never done this boss before this week yet managed to get all of them easily enough, I'd doubt on the whole "poorly designed" part

The hope is essentially this one day will be public for a week again, they can easilly do it as an event, or attach it to the season of the four winds. Cause anyone busy this week, just not lost out on the Marionette entirely, as Private only having fifty people in there, is hard if anything goes wrong as it doesn't scale and it meant, originally, for 100 people in there.

This event is perfectly balanced, and fun, thank you Anet, I will miss it being public dreadfully. I did more Marionette's then I have done Dragonstorms non-AFK. Not that that is hard, considering I only ever did like 2 Dragonstorms.

Because you can buy them off TP that would be entirely broken, like, people have thousands. Vendoring them/selling them on the TP is fine. If you WvW a lot you can get a near infinite supply of them by just playing the game mode. Now, Emblems from kills/captures should be vendorable for like 2gold each, so we don't stack them when we don't need em.

Private is harder with less but its still possible, even in public sometimes we have 10 people in a lane and we still manage it, the mobs inside are quite weak and if you don't kill yourself, its hard to die. All people really have to do is listen to commanders for their lane, which they are doing, so its great. This is teaching coordination! If public instances do end, then at least it'll still be a thing we can have later on with events or bonus events like this one. I really doubt once this week ends its gone forever. Plus making it available for only a week is a smart move, makes people actually get off their backsides and do it now. If it was always available it might be harder to fill maps

So we have a fight, content, that people can't AFK through where they need to use 1% of their brain and its labled as raid content? Lol. 2/2 wins so far, and honestly it doesn't look that hard at all, some of the lane champions can be solo'd. (I solo'd Lane 3's as my teammate died at the start) and with pugs you have 3-4 people on some platforms, making it super easy. Soon anyway it'll only be for private squads, but man, this fight is fun. Its great having fun in gw2.

Why though? its currently designed well, and you should be able to fail. We NEED harder content in open world 🙂

I wish it was, 80 man, going in is a lot smoother then 50 man. 2/2 pug runs so far successful. Though we still ended up 10 manning some lanes, it was fine. This fight is fun, its actually fun. S1 had some good stuff I am glad to finally be able to do. Private squads can also be a chore. To me, this fight is better designed then Dragonstorm.

From everything I am reading, once this public week is over, unless they change the system to make sure the amount of players you have gets divided perfectly each time, doing this with 50 is going to be extremely time consuming if a platform ends up with no one on it since that means you fail. Better get it done this week while we still have the larger group sized public runs going. Otherwise... If they did add a system that allows you to change platforms if you finish before the others, that would appear to solve most issues.

Considering we got a instant swap ability on our bar, that's already something EVERYONE can use. Yet along unlocking your first legend for your account being now a massive boost to your account for both fighters and fashion warriors. With content that is new to a lot of people all wrapped into it. This is an awesome update, a great QOL update that gives us content. Whats to complain? we need more harder content. Failing should always be a part of something, it makes this better then dragonstorm cause you have to actually try. Makes it a TON of a lot more fun.

Why do people call it "free" It takes so long to get it you can honestly get other legends much faster, and this one requires a lot of effort to get, more so then most other legends. I'd hardly call it free, its something we'll all have earnt. Imagine doing this a year from now and have to do all the requirements at the same time, the task would take a lot longer with the zones not having as many people in them. Its not like other peoples effects really have much of an effect on your gameplay. And with the way things are going, it looks like we'll all be able to adjust things, just need to give the devs some time 🙂

Yeah, make a new item, that is the exact same only its effects are item based instead of Buff based that you could also trade for at a vendor, so you can choose to have the stacking effect or not. The problem really is that they are designed to change depending on how many you are wearing, they would then have to design a new effect for the new version of the item, or rather, just have the vendor literally give you a legendary version that has no effect and never can have an effect until a solution is found down the track. Cause that's all understandable, and its great to see Anet being this open and this informative about everything. Honestly its great to see the game looking this good and to have the current hopes I do. GW2 shaping up to be a game everyone should play with a passionate dev team that are gamers. Communication is my bread and butter... the feels are good with this one.

The real heroes of the game

Just be glad to get this done now while there are so many Mesmers around. When this map dies off again, the return to achievements will be quite annoying to accomplish outside of groups doing it! 🙂 I used the PPR for this, but it gave me a short but instant load screen pop up which removed the last checkpoint buff. That was fun... Seriously, this JP sucks.

And I thought this news was enough to already make me explode with hype. Then we get the Armoury announcement and ITS FREAKING PERFECT. AHHHH GW2 IS AWESOME!! and is being led by an AWESOME TEAM. YEAH!!!!!!!!

The hype is so real!!! GW2 LETS GOOO!!!

That comment fortunately aged like milk 🙂

Lot of information to still be found out, my guess is it'd still be the stronger guilds only fight the stronger guilds - Guilds who want to pvp in wvw will stay with each other, guilds who want to ppt and farm wvw will stay with each other. Everyone will get what they want and wvw will be better in everyway. Can Swap guilds too, maybe you want to pvp in wvw? Join a pvp wvw guild, want to ppt a bit? join one of those. Want to focus on dailies or participation? Join a guild doing that! Be like real GUILD wars!

Really what they should do is buff ranger and give us more un-blockable abilities. Quite tired of classes being able to shut projectiles down for ages in an aoe area. Just sit there unable to do anything but go into melee range and die. Or die to our own attack. Druid is a meme cause of cc on one talent. Why take a Druid over a scrapper? No one would do this. Soulbeast beating people, means those people are bad or are a class that would normally die to any projectiles regardless. This thread is just another "I lost to X class so it needs to be nerfed".

Graphic upgrades, performance upgrades and wvw alliances. The hype is real! Also, Phreak you are over thinking things. You can still do that, wvw alliances will open the door to you just being able to do that, but better. Also, regardless just form a guild and you'd find the same people already, can make an alliance of your entire server no doubt. This is going to spice up WvW nicely, can't wait! I bet we'll get a MaG type alliance that just camps EBG too haha
