The amount of gems bought had nothing to do with what I originally asked, which was are they done (deleting account), or are they just taking a break. The fact someone responded about gems to my post got an equally off topic response. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine if it is the first time right?! Totally normal and understandable. But then,when i see people die MULTIPLE TIMES on the SAME AOE: it is just being lazy. The encounter is difficult but there is ALSO so much LAZYNESS going on aswell In my experience, these kinds of mistakes are one of three things, or a combination: Bad players - as you say. Which, incidentally, is what caused the nerfs on Scourge. I mean, how hard is it to avoid the big red circles? Lag. Which, in large groups like a meta, happens a lot. Lag to the point that there's a definite delay in the action after pressing a button. So much visual noise that the players don't see the the AOE and the wave. 3 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaunty.6018 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm not even bothering with the turtle. I simply don't care about the game enough anymore to waste that much time on it. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephire.8049 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 10 hours ago, SimulationOfLife.4657 said: BTW, how is the DE meta going after the update ? Some people were saying it's been nerfed, others not. It's a bit better after they reduced the tail by 50%, though because they removed it from her move pool, she started swapping sides more again. Not as much as on release (though she still chains it if you have bad RNG) but enough to be frustrating. It's still like running into a wall repeatedly, though, so I wouldn't say nerfed. It's still based on everyone in the squad doing high DPS and heavy RNG with both Soo-Won and how many thornhearts spawn (and if people focus them down ASAP). 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice.9517 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I've been playing GW and GW2 since the very beginning, but this meta really spoils the game for me. My fingers and arms just hurt after fighting for over an our and you fail time after time. Please fix it! 9 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jade Grue.3547 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Is the Tail supposed to be constantly respawning? In one attempt the tail was active so much that after defeating it and running back to the head we were downed by a tail slap while Aurene was congratulating us saying the tail was causing the waves. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfeather.6401 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm surprised it even exists. If it was playtested by devs they must have had cheats on or a whole lot of 'wishful thinking' about what the playerbase in public zones could pull off. Just print it and ship it! 7 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James.5632 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 People have to stop blaming the players who actually paid for the game. If Anet just wants to ignore better than half the population that think the Meta is so difficult, then they will have to search for other jobs where they have to defend the decisions they made when the franchise folds. Yes there are some that are getting through but on the whole, very few like the Meta. 8 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"this is not the player fault" "im not gonna financially recover from this" "im done" I said many peopla are lazy:it's a fact u can check on every single meta event,im not talking about bigfoot. And when i see 10 people die on the same attack 3,4 times in a row,cos they didnt bother to dodge roll away from the BIG BAD red cicrlce...it's not just cos the meta is hard. You know, I would consider your opinion if you wrote somewhat properly. "im", 'cos", lower case "i".

I'll repeat myself. The DE meta requires the basic knowledge of the game, boons, squads, etc. It requires understanding of the basics, nothing more. There's no get good, or wahtever. Boons are a very basic component of the game, and if a player doesnt have cursory knowledge of boons by the time they get to DE, that is NOT anet's fault. Anet is literally yelling at you (through aurene) what to do during the whole meta. Aurene tells you to hit the tail, watch out for tidal flood, etc. etc. So simply dodge that, and then before the final fight in the meta starts, arrange the squad into 5 man groups the best you can based on what utilities people are bringing. Sort that all out, then just do what aurene tells you. Really, that's it. If more than 15 people are just afking, or autoattacking, or dying constantly, it will fail. But...that's not really anet's fault that people aren't trying. Edited March 13, 2022 by Einsof.1457 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In MMOs, your success is greatly weighed against the skill of others. There are ways to mitigate chances of failure (play with friends, guild, etc.) but this is how MMOs have always been. Your success will be determined by the skill of others. This is not a bad thing. This is a cornerstone of the MMO genre. There are many games out there where the skill of just yourself is all that matters, but MMOs are a community focused genre. The rewards depend on the group, not the individual. I have learned to find value in failure. If the group fails, I know that I have learned more and I have improved for next time. The player's own personal improvement is a great reward when experiencing failure. Further, I find myself having fun and giving myself personal challenges. "Let's try to dodge every tidal wave." "Let's try to keep dps above 10k." "Let's try to keep an eye for downed friends and play medic." Whatever makes it fun. The people that are whining "It's 2 hours and fail it's a huge waste of time!" are not thinking of GW2 as a game (which by definition, games are fun), they are thinking of GW2 as a job. This is not healthy. If you are not having fun in the moment, regardless if the outcome is successful or not, you should question your motivations. GW2 has never been a game about the destination. It has always been a game about the journey. At the end of the day it's just pixels. The fun of the moment is what matters. I have been playing MMORPGs since 1999, and whenever I thought of games as a job rather than a game, it's when all the fun gets sucked away. Treat it as a game and you will have a lot more fun.
