I have tried this meta atleast 10 times now, getting anywhere from a solid 30% to just a few % away from completing it.
It has mostly been extremely organized pugs with mostly meta builds doing the best they can and falling short.
This is my first post ever because I felt the need to be part of this discussion and share just how dreadfully discouraging this has been. I'm absolutely positive that the content is very doable with sweaty guilds working in VC together who already have good synergy and highly organized groups split in to the perfect meta build categories. Sadly, this is not the type of gameplay that is available to the average player, and certainly not what you would expect to find in a map event pug.
At this point even if it is nerfed again and again and again until I am finally lucky enough to complete it, I can absolutely promise that when I complete it, it will be the LAST TIME I EVER DO IT AGAIN, EVER.
And that is a HUGE shame. It's just an entire map that is absolute garbage for me now, filled with bad memories and unhappiness. The story of the meta is great, the idea of the battle is great, it's visually appealing, and it's an interesting concept for a map meta, but I have been SO annoyed and discouraged by it. I have spent SO much time doing the painfully long pre-events that lead up to it, I have been SO close, screwed by the RNG over and over and over again.
I love gw2 and I do really enjoy the new expansion but I am truly disappointed by the prospect of having an entire map that I will never want to visit again after I finally complete the meta on it.
I've done this trash so many times and wasted so many hours, at this point I absolutely detest it. I'm at about 15 tries and have never seen a battle look anything like the videos where people won. I am 1000% convinced that anybody who has beat her at this point has simply won the RNG lottery. I would truly not be disappointed or feel like I cheated if I was just gifted the achievement and the rewards after the amount of time and effort I have put in.
