I've done the personal story twice now one you can see in the pve section COF's. Nothing wrong with them in my opinion other, than the mass effect like events happening in them. As far as the last mission come on get over that. If you wanted a single player game get a console. It's one mission with a boss that is insanely easy. And a dungeon that overall isn't that hard you can zerg through. I say this over and over and I’m glad it's catching on.

STOP I repeat STOP whining and being lazy. You can't take on the so called Protagonist of the game alone. That would be bad story plot that people rip apart if it did happen. Either way people are going to complain so I say get it over with. Too much wah wah and, too little showing skill and completing things. Last dungeon is designed to be a place where all paths lead up to. Where others besides you have they're own story and join you in a common goal. At the end of “The source of Orr” the mission before that. The pact has won and literally say they are sending you after Zhaitan.

Which leads to you meeting destiny's edge in Orr. Along with 4 other people who finished the line as well. So all I can say to you is suck it up and get it done.

Told you this would happen. I just hope this statement is ironic, otherwise its just a poor attempt at non-constructive trolling.

I am absolutely disgusted at this point.  I've had a blast with this game right up until this moment, and now when I am ready to do the very last mission...

 

Damn it...   Logging off

 

You're doing better than me, I thought all the story missions where absolutely terrible and juvenile.

Haha, yep..while some of them made me chuckle a bit it was mostly out of how childish the dialogue was.  The dialogue is terrible in GW2, GW1 wasn't GREAT but it sure as hell beats the dialogue in GW2

This is why MMOs suck now, people who are single players gamers are invading and ruining the social aspects of MMOs.

It's truly a sad time for gaming, just like for music.

You made it to the end of the story?

I couldn't make it past the lack of choices and entirely predictable responses of... everything. It's a shame they couldn't be a little more original with the dialog and story, as it's a great game world with a bunch of lore. Everyone is basically the same exact person with little variation, and it makes things rather bland. The story takes little dips and turns based on your path but it all leads to the same place eventually. It's like playing a Mass Effect or TES game without the dialogue choices. The least they could've done was give you some decent options like SWTOR or something, which is also pretty linear itself as far as main story questing goes.

What did you expect? To kill the elder dragon, the most powerful creatures that ever walked the Tyria, and his minion dragons all by your self? Wouldn't THAT be an immersion breaker?

Have you ever actually played a video game?

Have you ever played an mmorpg game? In which one do you kill the strongest enemies alone?

That's all good and fine, but don't play the immersion card.  What you described is as being immersion breaking is replayed in almost every video game in existance.

To not break immersion, I would like it to be a one-time-only raid-size encounter. He should only die once.

ArenaNet is American.

/facepalm

It is owned by a Korean company and we do not to what extent that Korean company lets Arenanet have freedom.

I thought it was weak that they require a group for the final mission, but I grabbed a group and got it done with no trouble.

And your response is typical of the rude, anti-social players who turn off chat and run right past downed players who need help because the existence of another human "ruins your fun and immersion".

What would you even know about PUGs? You're here complaining about rude players, but you avoid all players at all costs. It sounds to me like you're the rude one.

Ah well... Either they'll fix this, and I'll finish it, or I'll move on to another MMO.

You would have quit as soon as you finished the mission anyway. You picked the wrong genre if you expected to be able to play without ever interacting with another player.

Its true, ive just played this game from beginning to end and because the final mission is a group mission...I totally quit!

hurka derpa hurr durr

That's your main concern? That's it's not a solo instance?

Shit, I can't stand the personal story because I generally can't stand the personalities of the characters, and everything seems far too lighthearted.  I woudl have enjoyed a story with more realistic character emotions/voice acting,  and have it be a little more serious.

I actually would have preferred if they didn't give my character a voice at all. I would prefer a silent hero. Possibly have some facial reactions, and maybe some cutscenes showing something sad, heroic, etc., with just music, animation and no words.

The personal story is definitely one of the weakest aspects of this game, in my opinion.

 He's complaining because he had to group up once throughout the entire course of an MMORPG for a storyline, he's so mad about this that he's become "disgusted", feels betrayed and had to come here to post about it. He even had to ... log... off, GASP!

You want people like that influencing MMOs?

Wait until OP realizes he will also have to rely to other people to even get the dungeon accessible. Oh the horror! Having to play together in an MMO.

I just think making sweeping generalizations about "single player gamers" ruining MMOs is ridiculous.  Without a lot of those gamers you wouldn't see company's putting millions of dollars into MMO development.  The industry tech would be about 5 years or more behind where it is right now, and there would be a fraction of the available gaming options...and that's being generous.
