Your points are interesting @Hieldanka and @ForeverKnights. I will pick up on these tips if we can play Boss Hunts again (or maybe even Ops). I didn't have this kind of skill back then (skill issue) so I never considered anything like this. When I reached critical health, I would just try to escape and heal up, or at least survive long enough for teammates to respawn. I'll really need to warm up again with these events to be honest, it has been a while. Thank you for the tips! 👍 I will keep these in mind if playing these hunts or possibly Ops.
@flexibleFLIMINGOYeah but boss hunts revive downtimes are twice as long and can be a hinderance in a crucial moment if you need backup or delay how long until you can go to the next step.
You make some reasonable points too @flexibleFLIMINGO and @stukapooka. I am way too used to Garden/Graveyard Ops at the moment however I forgot a crucial thing. While I do know you have 15 seconds to be revived in Ops, I forgot to account that the respawn time is about 30 seconds, so being vanquished is quite punishing in Boss Hunts unless you can be revived, as it is a massive setback for you and your team. At least you can use Self Revives though (and Team Retry in the right cases), although timing when to use the Self Revives properly would be very beneficial. Boss Hunts were so unique, so fun and I hope to see them return ... 🤞
I think I and everyone else who is interested should provide @EA_Shepard some feedback regarding the EA higher ups fixing the portal at the same time as the banning issue. I don't think this would require EA to go out of their way particularly? Do they still have the code to change it?
@TheSprinter85It seems really weird as they've stated they're not going to change it but they didn't really give any specific details so some are theorizing its something to do with the servers themselves and the game being old with no backend support as they say.
Seems like were just [redacted] either way. Its an understatement to say being a pvz fan is rough these days.
@ForeverKnightsThat is so true. In Ops it is a matter of defending your objective, although in Boss Hunts, you have to survive the onslaught of enemies coming at us.
@Hieldanka same to be honest, I always looked forward to the next Boss Hunt!
@VendetedFoxThe Boss Hunt music was possibly my favourite in all of GW2 - it really adds to the tension and chaos of the hunts. Boss Hunts were really challenging and its music exceeded expectations!
Boss hunts were such a cool and unexpected addition to GW2. I remember when they launched the video about the trials of Gnomus and we were all wondering what was coming. It was such a huge addition to the game, and quite the challenging content that even when you've beaten a boss before and know what to do it can be difficult to win again, especially on the higher difficulties.
Part of why I love GW2 is how much there is to do, but with the mystery portals being lackluster for years now, we are sorely missing these special game modes, and boss hunt is probably the most missed.
@TheSprinter85 Agreed, the music fit so well with the intensity and immediacy of everything happening in boss hunt ❤️
remember how the music got, when enrage timer started in boss hunt? it was so cool
How could I forget about the Enraged Music Theme? It's even more chaotic compared to normal and fits in very well during the enraged state.
Boss Hunt music is 8.5/10. Enraged Boss Hunt music is 9.5/10. I would listen to both of these soundtracks on repeat.
