Dwarven Boxing is a little boring, the Norn Fighting Tournament, however, is probably the most fun I've ever had in trying to find that perfect "pwn em all" build.

Polymock is eh.

as far as the rarity and eliteness of pvp poly why not make them unlockable at the priest for pvp chars to use but not usable in pve

Agreed to the gamer title suggestion.

Bryant Again · Sep 09, 2007, 11:53 PM // 23:53

Oh snap, how's this for a concept: Competitive mini-games. Eh? Eh!?! 2 Player Polymock, anyone? My polymocks bring all the nerds to the yard?

Dwarven Boxing gets dull.
Norn tournament gets repetitive.
Polymock is just meh.

I agree with Bryant. 2 Player competitive Boxing/Norn tournament/Polymock would be kinda fun =p

The Vanguard have no time for games, unless you count whack-a-charr as a game...

It would have been interesting to see a Charr minigame, though...

A Charr game? Hmmm, I would call it... Eat the Meat

Alot of people are misunderstanding the meaning of "payoff" though I don't believe thats the word I used. No, the reward doesn't need to be fame/fortune/naked ladies, but do something, SOMETHING. This includes a happiness for winning. As it is now, if you have trouble winning, you need to hone your skills a little bit. For the most part, people look at these mini-games as jokes.

Someone had a VERY good point earlier about it being like a tutorial to the person that plays WC3 custom games. I too, like many people that play GW play DOTA. It can't even be closely compared to these mini-games. Custom WC3 games are multiplayer and PvP, NOT single player vs child-difficulty AI.

It would be incredibly amazing if they made the mini-games have gamer points as rewards, AND it would make sense. They ARE mini-"games" are they not?

But... but... but... the guy with the cute voice in the Guild Wars Demo (that big 500MB ingame movie about GW:EN) said there would be 4. Q.Q

I have to say that the mini-games disappointed me for one reason...they are SOLO missions.

That is all well and good if you have a load of great solo builds for all occassions, but otherwise a pain in the butt; though admittedly this mostly applies to the Norn Tournament (which also costs gold).

I'd really not have a problem with them if it wasnt for that fact you can only unlock certain PvE skills by playing and winning them. If they were just for some 'item' prize, it would not be so bad.

Also, thought Dwarven Boxing is quite easy and Polymock doesnt require you to have a personal solo build, the Norn Tourny is VERY poorly balanced to work evenly for all professions. It was better before they changed it so that your opponent rushes you. When they waited for you to aggro, it was okay as you had time to get spells and spirits up before the Bison guys pummelled you.

So all-in-all, not overly impressed, though they are okay, they just need some tweeking to actually be balanced.

Ferret.

Thats an awesome idea.
/signed for that!!

But otherwise I don't see a problem with the minigames really. Clearly the initial excitement about all these new things in EotN has worn off, a lot of people are criticizing now. But its to be expected with a new expansion/campaign. Everyone I know enjoys and loves the polymock etc. Although are a little frustrated now that its done. Other than that, not really a problem with it

(& yes my banks going on the norn tourney also :P)

/Signed for :
-Ability to defy other players on Boxing and Polymock
-A ladder with Polymock and boxing tournaments
-Some kind of bet when you defy an opponent, either plats or polymock pieces or Dwarven ale.
Why:
Polymock and Dwarven may actually, if implemented in a PvP way, the most balanced PvP options of Guild Wars.

Croco Clouds · Sep 10, 2007, 05:09 PM // 17:09

Hey, is the Siege Devourer ride considered as Charr Mini-game?

Nevin · Sep 10, 2007, 07:10 PM // 19:10

I'm sad that theres no follow ups... How about 1 vs 1 PvP's for each?

tyche7 · Sep 10, 2007, 07:54 PM // 19:54

Polymock is the WORST ever. The other 2 are alright - not great but..ok for a little while. But Polymock just about makes me vomit even thinking about it.

Dragon Arena is without question the most balanced form of PvP in Guild Wars.
