One detail, you can dismount and fights the ennemies during the final boss just fine. The only time the turtle is required is to pickup the bubbles. You keep them if you dismount, and you can even charge the batteries while dismounted.
Still trash meta could have been so good.
Good note - a bit confusing as you’re kinda trained through the tunnel to stay on your turtle? Could probs use a tooltip or something imo
You can also do other types of CC to the Wanderer, or just fight him outright(though he is harder this way).
@@BloomHD You can also dismount in the tunnel to kill the oni and remount, energy doesn't get lost. That being said, there are definitely things the devs could do to improve the tunnel and final boss. It's far too repetitive for no good reason. What I'd love to see is after CCing all 3 hearts we get a burn phase on the boss. That way an organised group can potentially one burn and we get to smack it more with our weapons!
i think we all picked Blish, right? is that something we can all agree on? i miss you buddy🤖
Lost but not forgotten 😩
I picked Cinder because I wanted to know who that was but didn't want to wiki
Great patch review as always! Broadly feel the same way as you about this patch, and what lies beneath. Story had some ok moments, but I can't really bring myself to care about characters like Chul Moo, and the whole power of friendship ending to the threat was a bit lame tbh. Tea house epilogue was well done but I feel GW2 story just reverts back to that humour a lot atm, I desperately want some darker, more gripping story to get invested in. Ultimately as you say it feels disjointed from EoD, just feels like filler so we have something to do while waiting for the expac. Not really much set up for future threats either which was a shame.
There's a lot riding on the expac now I think - definitely hoping this is not typical of what we can expect from the expacs and related quarterly updates...
Good to see you back from the hack
Your commentary on the meta was the most entertaining and hilarious thing I have heard for some time. Thank you!
Good to see you back to from being musked.
I still like this part of the patch. Story was nice, it is cool to use the turtle a bit more in open world and i like the added adventures.
But god damn it is small. I felt that the story and the map meta should at least be twice as long as it was. Or the meta having more mechanics.
I think combined with the previous patch it's an OK amount of content - but yeah it doesn't save the last half of the meta being one of the weakest in the game (imo) :/
@@BloomHD As a burnt out destiny player, I kinda feel it's okay amount of content for a free patch. But it's certainly not good enough moving forward. Unless the future is grim, they should've really just said "It's a small chapter to wrap up the story, don't expect much, we are working hard on next expac"
One thing I like about this release is, with all the patches it got (hum) it has a ton of collections and rewards and achievements to work towards. It feels scarse a map even though it looks really good
I'm tired of hearing," wait till the next patch." Omfg call a spade a spade foe the love of god.
I like how ur graphic look like and ur character postition, have u ever done ur settings guide/showcase ?
Haha I have not but it’s on the list! Should probably get on that asap as I keep getting asked about it 😅
@@BloomHD I am waiting then 😎🤙
Where is my tesla content?! >:C
Glad to see the tesla hackers make you come back to us 😂😂😂
But seriously welcome back :D
God ot better be good....i hope they dont go full spectrum again.
How many times do we need to visit past traumas in gw2? Lol arenanet high quality.
That meta is future proof, you can still do it when no one else wants to come to this map anymore xD
Twitchy Jake is a better boss fight.
BUBBLES!
I would say this is exactly the quality we can expect. It's the level of quality delivered with "Champions" it's the level of quality delivered with EoD and these two latest patches are no different. This is GW2 now. GW2's last great content was Drizzlewood, 2 1/2 years ago.
Try Tower of Fantasy.

yeah that whole 2nd meta was awful, the turtle is the most awkward of all the mounts to control, slow as fuck with a terrible turning circle, I didn't see many mobs in any of the rooms either. and the boss fight felt a bit underwhelming, but whatever i guess. meta aside i enjoyed the questline too, but i think they need to raise their game a bit if these are what the story updates are going to be like from now on.
Big Nose Ted is a better boss fight than that meta boss
I would like to think that the Gyala Delve patches are not the standard moving forward. It was essentially free content if you own EoD, unlike living world which eventually gain the pay wall. I can't imagine much resource/budget was put into it compared to the expac and so the paid content should have much more quality. But we will all have to wait and see.
This is just a theory but I think the team who made this was a similar 'newer' team that worked on North Drizzlewood and Champions. The 2 part map wide meta and repetitive events give of the same flavour? to me at least.
I'm kind of surprised these chapters aren't under "side stories" in the Hero tab. Then again the side stories don't come with a whole map and meta
5:26 “Rama asked his assistance” ???? Min was the head of the East Precinct and now its the MINISTER OF SECURITY OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY! she is not the assistance she is the BOSS 😂
The story was awful. How tf do you go from almorra trauma to "hey lets talk to ppl who knew cinder!" Wtf? It was awful. It does NOT embrace our past traumas whatsoever. This was a mockery to trauma and it isnt so simple as this crap
This patch was bad too...what lies below is basically what what lies within is day one patch after a shitty launch.
All 3 rooms are also filled with Oni spawns and shadow creatures. Not sure if your run got bugged or something but yea. We had to have people dismount and protect the turtles because the Oni and shadow creatures were killing them.
This is why the Japanese are winning in game development, they are pushing the envelope in games. I really want GW2 to thrive, but it seems like GW2 keeps messing up the patches and updates. After the BOOM of EOD, this is a really bad way to set expectations for new players (since the old players are aware of this BS). The same with when the vanilla game released, with no end game content or raids. It's like we are beating the same metaphorical dead GW2 horse.....if we had any in game.
I do not think you should excuse combat in story being shit because primitive bots have to beat it or people literally without hands.
Also; the story was about emotions, not about dead people. Also they straight up say in the end that's not it, they say it's the beginning. Commander straight says they're working on it to Taimi, and that it will take time. Not that it's over trauma done. Where did you get that?
I got the impression this was *the* trauma patch and we likely won't see this theme repeated again, so would've liked more time spent on that aspect while we were at it. Perhaps they'll address it in future - but in the context of the Gyala Delve story it was over in like 10 minutes
I enjoyed the patch, especially the adventures and the new collection for the new armor set. Fractal is coming next month, literally just a few weeks away. And we knew that before, they said as much weeks ago.
Watching the black blinking screen part of the video while being frozen af with 420 definitely was a painful moment.
Please fix it my dude
Their "expansions" will be nothing else but a living story wearing a white tshirt that says "expansion" on it, and they'll charge you money for this😆Playing this game is torture, but hate following it is better than watching a brand new Tarantino movie🤡Cannot wait for their dogshit "expansion" to come out, its gonna be entertaining af seeing teapot mald and pretend like THE NEXT ONE will be THE ONE🤭
This company is operating on a Welfare budget. They don't have resources needed for anything. Soon, they won't even have a coffee machine at their place. When this happens, its time to shut it all down.
Gotta say, tho. I do enjoy hate following this misery of a video game. Literally the best game to hate follow in like a decade😁
Story is decent. Honestly most mmo stories are bad in general so I dont get high expectations for that. Imo gw2 is one of the few mmos with passable story. People just expecting way too much for post expansion content. Tho in terms of map quality I agree with them. Rn anet is way to addicted with the IBS style of map releases. Like I get they did that when Covid was really bad, but now theres no excuse for it. Just making an entire map into 1 meta. No hearts or side events to get people exploring maps like base game-lw4+EOD. Anet really needs to ditch this IBS style of content releases.
Yeah your right ff14 has a good story buried under filler
lol revisiting trauma.. As evidenced by this and the eod story.. Clearly the writers are women whose favorite tv network is CW.
it's so, so awful.
"no option to pick a lady" i mean as a lesbian i dont see the problem. is this just a straight mans humor or something?
