Doo Lally.8594 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) My experience with this (I rarely do strikes but know my classes inside out). LFG - found grp and entered as healer/quickness scrapper Group had 3 folks who had never done a strike before. Wiped first time - not enough dps. The 3 new folks went down immediately. Retried, switched to dps scrapper with quickness. DPS better, 3 new folk went down immediately. Commander quit as did 5 others including 3 new. I took command, advertised again in LFG asking for dps and alacrity. Got 10 folks, nuked the mobs and Boss down. 10 happy people. So 3 tries and done. The only minor gripe I have is that as the commander, the tag blocks the numbers mechanic on your head meaning I went down a few times without knowing I had to spread apart from the rest. My main recommendation for this is to bring folks that really can hard rez. It makes all the difference.

PLEASE stop trying to shame me into doing it by having the turtle follow me around Arborstone every time I go there. At least give me the option to make it go away. It's annoying.

Rumpus.1234 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Again, the moment you complete the collection the turtle goes away, and some people still want a giant sized macropet apparently.

Kal Spiro.9745 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I don't especially enjoy PvP and WvW, but in order to get skins unique to those things, and especially to get the Warclaw, I sucked it up and spent time in them. This is one strike. You don't have to master the thing, you just have to get through it, and then you're done. You're allowed to get out of your comfort zone for a moment in your life, it's not the end of the world. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotDelirium.7984 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I'm not gona say beg but let people know your inexperience and many groups will teach you the main mechanics and even if you die...many groups can carry the rest of the way and you still get the credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Anet just went ahead and scrapped WvW (we all know they're going to let that mode die) and we had flagged open world pvp instead I might feel differently about having new stats and open world features gated behind instances since there would be more fun groups and squads running around. People complain about having to do stuff in WvW making it sound like it's an angry mess, but grouping up and easing into a squad there is far less painful and aggravating than what I've experienced doing the expansion events and instances, and I actually love the rest of the expansion stuff. No one uses Alert Target or anything either but complain that people don't listen on discord or are confused even after their encounter breakdowns. There's even colored squad markers that can be used for squad groups but people don't use kitten. I'm really getting stale on this game which sucks because this expansion has a really great feel and vibe to it apart from that noise and I want to actually spend more time there which I haven't felt since HoT but it's just getting harder to log in and vibe.

You're allowed to get out of your comfort zone for a moment in your life, it's not the end of the world. If it was skins, I'd have no problem. Different cosmetics are locked exclusively to all kinds of things in GW2. If it was something like Warclaw, useless outside of the place it's earned. I'd have no problem. In this case, its something that can't be used in strikes, but requires strikes to unlock. Hence the problem. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronometria.3708 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Just did the strike and got the turtle - i definitely dont want to touch kaineng overlook ever again. That was brutal. If Anet thinks its going to make strikes popular by doing this, then they are dead wrong - That was far from easy or enjoyable. 8 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It becomes easy once you have a lot of practice, like everything new one has to approach (in games and in life). It also becomes enjoyable then, if not for the experience alone than at least for the rewards. 😉 Edited March 18, 2022 by Ashantara.8731 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidome.1365 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) The Strike Mission required for the egg collection isn't really much of a "strike" mission as it just a long and boring slugfest (the term "strike" would suggest quick, which this isn't) which varies between very long and stupidly long depending upon the support/DPS mix of the group. The main danger seems to be players getting tired as I know my hands were starting to cramp near the end. Not every player has teenage reflexes and the endurance of youth.
