Some things in this game are, or should be for the better players. I never do strike missions because I'm not that good. My fingers and reflexes are poor. And since I don't do them, I have a hard time to even understanding the mechanics of and given mission. The two times I have tried this mission was embarrassing. Thats not fun. I just wish there was an alternative way to get the thruster control unit even if it took a lot of grinding i am a wvw player,never done strikes or raids cause im playing alone!! Yesterday saw in lfg a group without requirements for the turtle strike,i joined tell them that its my 1st time but they didnt kick me! I even found a build for my scourge in a snow something (guild?) page on internet!! I dont have builds for anything else only for wvw! We failed 2 times,two said will find another group and left,next two came and we did it!! Commander was really good and explained all the mechanics,when we realised what to do,it was like a walk in the park!

Chosing your team is not part of luck but skill And skill you earn by practice togheter with similar ppl with goals similar as you And from giving thay best to achive what thay did, thay erned my "wow😮" Turtle Mount is not good compare to other mounts in any way, it's good only as "Treasure" to show off you have somethink that other not, and thats what making that mount valuable Edited March 15, 2022 by Noah Salazar.5430 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you speak of a point of "Me, me, me." That has something to do with it. And it's a good thing you can choose not to do high-end content, it's entierly optional ! The thing is, the strike involved in the turtle collcetion is not high end, not even in the slightest, there's no timer, there's no CC requirements, there's not even a dps requirement. And the only thing you need to do is do dodge like 3 whole mechanics with more than obvious tells. 4 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Bandit.3786 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Friend of mine has the same issue, we carried her. She layed dead 95% of the fight and got it. I do agree that it is a way to force people into content they do not enjoy doing at all. Games should be about enjoying yourself... plus... it break the "easy to get" and also, the Mount is the main advertisement for EoD. Keep looking, there are enough people out there helping out players just like you. 8 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean that reduced bite attack? Or maybe bug fixes? RNGesus still is the dictating factor of wins or loses on that meta, skill is optional. Strike mission isn't hard, it only requires you to get competent humans that don't get downed 24/7, which isn't that easy. Just to be clear, I've already unlocked turtle, but calling it something "prestigious" is a bit of unaccaptable when the criteria for obtaining it is "get lucky" instead of "be skillful". 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are down to childish examples my parents would whoop my kitten if despite them allowing me to eat less of the "vegetables" I'd still demand more sweets. Anet lowered the difficulty of the meta to the point where pug groups succeed, now you get the chance to just bypass the meta people were putting effort into succeeding while many people stood on the sidelines complaining. Now that many people got the meta done they swapped to complaining about the Strike, what will be next? The Kale? 4 minutes ago, TrollingDemigod.3041 said: What "many fixes"?

I'd love to see you finish this meta with people not dodging anything, not CCing and dealing maybe 3-4k DPS, since as you mentioned skill is optional. 5 minutes ago, TrollingDemigod.3041 said: Strike mission isn't hard, it only requires you to get competent humans that don't get downed 24/7, which isn't that easy.

If getting 9 people who play with their screen turned on is difficult you might want to do Strikes in a different time frame. And again, we are past the time when you could say the entire fight is RNG. 2 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definetly no prestige or admirement in that. 4 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zidane.5194 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Difficulty is subjective to the person. Just because content is not hard for YOU does not mean it is not hard for someone else. And, I think that is where everyone gets lost. I did the meta until I got the egg. I will not touch the meta again because I do not like the difficulty. I did the strike one time with my guild to get that part of the collection. I may or may not go back and do it again. As for the turtle being "valuable" and a " symbol of prestige," it's not. People will start selling the Strike mission just like they sell Raids for legendary armor. I'm honestly surprised it's not already happening. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) I won't have much trouble with my turtle since I'm used to this kind of content, but some of the comments in these threads completely baffle me and reek of self-centeredness. Since when did a major selling point feature of an expansion become a "prestige" or "optional" item? This isn't some extra mount added in Living World. A huge amount of the money players sunk into the gemstore during IceBrood Saga and later expansion preorders paid for its development and took away from other areas of the game, and it took resources away from more important parts of the expo itself and is alot of why it feels rushed, yet you tell players "they don't need it". You might want to keep that in mind. Edited March 15, 2022 by Hannelore.8153 4 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In playing with the mounts, you got rewards. In EoD, the mount has become the reward instead. I don't want rewards handed to me. I would like the base turtle to be a way I play the game, not a reward. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yanosh.2631 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Do you want 20 dollars? It is in that steaming pile of kitten. All you need to do is put your hand in it and pull it out. It's not hard, you can do it. Just imagine it's pudding and don't smell it. It is easy... It isn't always about what players are or are not able to do or learn. It is mostly about what do they consider fun and what they want to do. To some, the above situation will be free 20 bucks. Others will pass.
