I consider myself an average player, not like those who say they are ubber players. THESE you see a lot arround.
I have been playing Guild Wars since the game started with prophesies through factions and now nightfall.
Saw the conception of FoW and Underworld which when they came out seemed hard to do, then saw The Deep and Urgox (spelling may be wrong).
Now we have this new area which has been classed as elite by anet.
Lets compare areas here.
Fow, now can be duo'ed or even 5 man teams, underworld can be soloed etc etc. Elite? no longer i think.
Urgox and deep, loved the 12 man team concept despite the mission, yes a mission not a quest, being long and boring.
Nightfall elite area, totally an anticlimax.
First, get a team.
Second, discuss tactics, builds, skills etc etc.
Third, in you go.
Fourth, shock to the system, meet the sas of the monsters in the form of speeding red dots with ubber attributes and plenty of hexes that will pawn u in seconds. I fthey don;t, you slowly progrees into the QUEST, and i say quest because its classed as a quest, and you carry on making a slow progress and chances are that you will be pawned.
I am tottaly dissapointed with this new are which after the amount of publicity which was given to it to find this ubber hard quests which require countless hours just to achieve the completion of 1 quest.
Some of us play this game for unwinding or simply to kill a few hours not for this new form of play which has sadly been introduced.
This is not a complaint, its merely facts.
For those who have completed the quests I congratulate you all but there are others who are still trying to do even just 1 quest, me one of them.
Noobs is what you may call me or people like me. So be it, but it still does not dispute the fact that the new area is a total flop.
It is noticeable that each day there are less and less people in the the new area. true enough, some may have moved onto the next area.
Shame man.
