Default Who likes polymock?

I'm really just interested to see who actually likes polymock and why?

I personally find it dull. I can't see why anet thought this mini game would be fun. I played 2 games so far and I find it boring. It's a stiff version of the Norn one on one battles but designated skills through polymock pieces and not intense.

I think they should have made it with the same mechanics as they have now but have it similer to a chess/checker game.

tell me what you think of polymock.

Got my summon skills and I'll probably never play it again. Unless it offers more rewards in the future.

Found it to be the least interesting of the "minigames". Just no fun at all, imo. :/

Blarp keeps kicking my butt, so I'm not too fond of it right now. Anyone got some hints?

Polymock is great fun - Polymock way outclass's the rather boring Norn "Oh look I've gone /ritulist! Crown Pls KTHX" Tornament

Polymock is cool but just lack of piece

Imagine having more than 200 pieces and use them to PvP and then max a new title 'Polymock Master'

i enjoy playing it, but when it coems down to it, its a good idea, but its really impossible for it to be amazing in the state it is now. its a strategy game, but its also a race, and that doesnt work to well in the end.

id like to see it made turn based

It'd be fun if they'd correct the problems with the interrupts and the strange lag time (not network lag) between when you cast a spell and the time it actually has an effect.

It seemed like when the idea of Polymock was thought of, it seemed like a great idea, but when it was actually put into place, it wasn't that special.

I liked Polymock when I first accessed it.. Beat a couple Asurans and lost interest.

I like it, apart from the bugs or when I lose by 50hp. -_-
It isn't worth playing though once you finish the quests. Oh yay 10 Asura points for spending 5-10mins against 1 enemy....

Yeah, me too. It was a nice diversion.
Fun to a degree, wasn't all that hard though.

Maybe a Polymock HM is needed, hahaha

I love it, but it is too short. They need to add some sort of PvP, more pieces, and better rewards for winning. Fifty points for beating the master in a rematch? I can get that many points in a third of the time outside fighting mobs.

Man for real. i beat all the polymock quests sevearl times so my other chars woudl have it, but it turns out the ultiatme reward is lame. the other peices are impossible to get and the game give s u 50 pts for beating the polymock master. that said, it doesnt take into account the time it takes to kill the master. i hope they step up the reward to liek 500 or 1k pts. at the current reward rate its rather forgettable.

It's exactly the same as being in a battle. If I wanted to hit something with a whole lot of skills I'd just go out and kill some mobs. That way I'd at least get drops.

It seesm every polymock piece has a 1sec recharge skill that you spam over and over till your other stuff recharges. The stupid thing is some of them are projectiles and can just dodge them...of course, the ai can't dodge yours so it gets you easy wins. Another lame thing is each polymock piece basically shares the same 6 skills so only 2 are actually different when you change pieces.

Polymock is fun. You actually have to use your head to win. Some don't like it cause they can't beat it or have beaten it but are still waiting for some more rewards for it.
