Plague, your post (page 2) was fantastic. Thanks.

As for me, I just hate finding the devourers all over the damn place. They're not really a challenge to kill no matter what I'm doing but they'll just harass you everywhere you go. They're like some annoying company that calls you up twice a day to ask if you want new, even more transparent windows. Popups are naturally the most annoying variety. You see your objective, think "I'll just walk over that way around those minotaurs", but no you don't have that privelige, and while you're doing that minotaurs come across to help. At least you aren't killing minotaurs starting in ascalon. They're a plague, across all of Tyria.

I can live with imps, though they're no doubt annoying especially since mind freeze was increased to 90%. They have a purpose - snares are there to make you consider if you can win a fight before charging in because pulling back is made (more) problematic. It is quite annoying to fight pinesouls in the shiverpeaks though, in those mobs they're usually the last things I'd go for, and naturally you step on their barbed traps, kill them and have to wait about 20 seconds after the end of the fight to recover.

Avicara, Tengu - I hate dying to them. I hate Avicaras. It's that noise they make. It's like they're running around shouting about how they're going to eat your pets and use your hair and skin in their pillows - but worst is if you give them a chance and they will. The Avicara mobs are tough (especially the 6-12 kindle spikers in mineral springs, they eat henchmen for sunday dinner) and I give them a strange sort of respect. Across the 'world' mobs should be more like these - just quieter.

Bring on the Monk bosses. If you take a mesmer they aren't annoying.

Since there are staves and such of 'pruning' which deal +damage to plants, why the hell don't we have a mod of RAID or something similar?

Heh, good thing I read the whole thread. I was going to post this, too, since I just did The Monk's Path last night. Nothing like being swarmed by 20 Jades, eh?

Holy crap I hate those things!

No interrupter in your party? KD warrior, mesmer, interrupt ranger?

People. People in general. They themselves suck, but point out the flaws in each other while denying their own in the most profane, vulgar way possible. Yes, I'm a cynic. Yes, I work in consumer relations. Yes, I play Guild Wars, the online MMO. You find the connection.

Oh, and Forgotten Sages. They have one of the best emergency healing spells in the game: Word of Healing, and there is almost always another one around that comes over to see what the noise is about, thus granting the first one an almost god-like immortality. When I don't play as my Mesmer when fighting those things, I often wonder why I chose not to play as my Mesmer or why I didn't invite another Mesmer along for the ride. Then I bang my head against a tree. Several times.

1. Devourers of any sort. I swear every MMO I've played has one type of mob you can literally level from one to cap off of.

2. All those pyschic enchant shatterers/strippers/renders/smiters. Especially when they take a time out in the middle of a melee with my Warriors to turn and shatter/strip/rend/smite my enchants. Cause omg, my Earth Attunement was really kicking their ass!

3. Anything with Cry of Frustration. I've tried, and tried, and tried, but I'm no where near as fast and with as perfect timing as the mobs are. Is anyone?

WasAGuest · Mar 11, 2006, 02:42 PM // 14:42

Any and all foes that "pop" into the area as a sort of suprise attack. Includes, roaches (scarabs), rockshots and all their family, wraiths and all other "ghosts". For the soon to be released factions, I read something about assassins that will do the same.
None of these are very hard, they just annoy me to no end. When I see them, I often emit a "cry of frustration".

This is so far my favorite post. I laughed so hard. I used to work in, uhh, customer[cough] relations as well. Never again... I enjoy how some people go out of their way to make the game miserable for anyone but themselves for no reason other than to do just that. Such pleasant people in the world today. lol

Toben_Hexx · Mar 11, 2006, 02:47 PM // 14:47

Scarabs, Devourers, and most of all, Aloes.

Why?

Cuz they're LAME ideas for enemy types. Maybe giant bugs would be cool, and bu giant, I mean big as houses. But Aloe? C'mon, people make lotion outta that!

Oh, and titans, they look like crap, and were not at all the 600foot tall dudes whose head you could barely see in the clouds.

QuixotesGhost · Mar 11, 2006, 03:34 PM // 15:34

Mindblades, by far.

X of Thulcandra · Mar 11, 2006, 03:42 PM // 15:42

All of Post-Searing Ascalon for me. I was overcome with joy once I completed every quest and mission on one of my characters, leaving it to burn behind me.

natus · Mar 11, 2006, 03:51 PM // 15:51

Lava imps, a bazillion meteor showers...hurray ;E

Cottage Pie · Mar 11, 2006, 08:57 PM // 20:57

I once DIED to aloe husks in presearing, a long, long time ago.

Plague your post made me die of laughter,

Fantus · Mar 11, 2006, 09:17 PM // 21:17

1. Avicara
2. Avicara
3. Avicara.

4-10: Everything that's cowardly enough to run (as in run, not kite) away from me with more than half their health and no AoE damage dealt.

Tyr Sangreal · Mar 11, 2006, 10:52 PM // 22:52

I heard someone say they hate Worms...I love Worms. They just need to drop better.

CyberNigma · Mar 11, 2006, 11:35 PM // 23:35

I would have to say that the bane of PvE for me is when I come across some lone creature that is mixed in with other completely different creatures just because of the devs paranoia of repeating Diablo II/LoD. For example, a lone Dwarven Heretic in a mob with Blessed Griffons. A group of Blessed Griffon mobs with a single Avacara fierce in there. Is there some kind of avacara alliance or are these guys just traitors that managed to make friends with the griffons?

My bane would also be creatures that are created/placed in order to screw up solo builds/bots. I guess this would include the random scarabs/devourers and the 'ninjas' we see coming in Factions. I'm obviously not a bot (unless this is the Matrix or something). I'm not a big farmer either, but seeing things like this kinda break the illusion of being in a virtual world for me. Maybe I'm just too much of an old school RP'er or something. At least they came up with a story when they added the new scarabs/queen in the desert. I can buy that.

Oh, and I just love to kill Imps :-)

Queenie · Mar 11, 2006, 11:35 PM // 23:35

Ice Imps, devours, Doylaks, Jade Bows/Armor and the mursaat.

Oh thank god
Im not the only one this happens to

I can't tell you how embarrassing it is for me when I go for a nice stroll in Kryta and the little monsters kill me

The birds....*shudders*

They love to torture me. No matter what I am, no matter the level, they seek me out and torture me to death. *shudders* I've learned to avoid them for the most part though.

Ice imps are annoying too, but not as much as birds.

Harmony · Mar 12, 2006, 01:59 AM // 01:59

two words..maguuma spiders!! *shudders* I abhor them!

MMSDome · Mar 12, 2006, 02:08 AM // 02:08

anything skeletal in FoW besides the rangers and warriors. They all suck!
