Nick.5276 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Spam 3 SPAM 3!!!!!!!!! SPAM IT YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!! SPAM THE HARPOON!!!!! Lets look at this skill shall we? When you use it the skill goes on a 20 second cool down timer, it shows it on the tool display, 20 seconds. Every aspect of GW2 has taught me that any skill showing a timer countdown is disabled until the timer finishes. Except this one. For those of you who are not aware yet, when the harpoon goes to this 20 second timer you CAN spam it, unlike any other skill I've encountered. This is what you are supposed to do. Each time you spam the skill it resets to 20 seconds until you can't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The harpoon is a multi-sequence skill. The first use throws it, then after it hits, it changes to a pull on a 1/4s cooldown. There are many skills that can change like this. For best results, you want to simply hold down the button, which causes the skill to be used immediately when it's ready.

Perihen the Thawk.9527 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I was also confused by the skill at first. If you don't do it right it *does* go into cooldown and you've just wasted the whole round. Once I figured out to just hold the button down it was a breeze.

The skill fires, then IF it connects with a target, the icon will switch to the harpoons second function: the pull. If it does not connect OR the timer expires on the second ability, the skill goes on cooldown. Which means, at the Forgeman boss it is wise to wait a second for the tank to get in position, then use the skill on the bosses during the cc phase. Also, unlike popular opinion, there is no need to spam the skill. Press it 1nce to fire, then once it has connected, keep the button pressed to get the maximum pull/cc effect.

Jilora.9524 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Seems pretty basic. You can't use it if tank is facing away. You use it to hit target then pull multiple times to break bar and if people are calling you idiots you probably are at the point where you weren't even getting in the tank the 1st 5 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocki.4931 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I think the fact it's a harpoon and that we get taught how the skill works right at the start of the mission should have made it very obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentMoore.9453 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 People will eventually learn all of the mechanics for the tank, but right now people can drop into the public instance at various stages and be split doing several different activities around the starting camp when the tutorials are happening. I'm not surprised people are confused by the tank when the environment is that chaotic. It took me half the instance before I realized what the ammo boxes on the ground were for, let alone that the harpoon was something I could use and not just something NPCs were yelling to each other. Exhibit patience, educate people in your instance, and the rest will sort itself out over time. You're a warband; act like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Templar.4589 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Earlier this morning I was in a public version of Forging Steel, and when we got to the Forgeman, only a couple of us would reliably get in the tank for the breakbar phase. We kept pleading with the other players to please get in the tank during the vent countdown and help with the harpoon, but time and time again they would just stand there auto-attacking the forgeman. As you know if you don't break the bar, the fight takes a *very* long time. Eventually me and the other person getting frustrated by our fellow players eventually bailed. They never talked back to us or indicated confusion, they just auto-attacked and ignored the tank/harpoon mechanics. Someone suggested they might be bots doing farming? Not sure if that's true, but it made me wonder if this mission should have some kind of tiering of rewards aimed at making it more rewarding to be a team player. If the bots who ignored the tank got lesser rewards maybe it would discourage them? I know as a player trying to play the mechanics as intended it surely was frustrating to never break that bar due to lack of participation.

I kept telling people in map chat and in /s to get in the tank and press 3 to break the break bar. And one of the ignoring people was someone in my guild smh. I whispered him and asked if he was a bot but he never responded back and kept auto attacking the boss. He eventually died to the rush of mobs and logged out.

The tank is not the only thing players can do in that Boss fight, there's also gathering the scrap and ammo to repair/arm the tank, destroy the portals and using the vents to raise the blast shields(which the one time I did it I didn't see anyone using) and killing the spawns. I don't think you need everyone piling on the tank for it to work properly, I mean it is supposed to be everyone doing a different part of the battle, not all doing one thing.

thefinnster.7105 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Sounds like most of my groups in public they dont listen and dont respond no matter how nicely you ask or how frustrated you get with them part of me thinks they are just farming kills and stone cannons for acheivment. It sucks because the event ends up taking around 20 minutes or so if its not done properly and if it is done right it can be killed in two breaks with an organised group. It would be nice if the skill had a faster reuse time so we could get a second use off but its unlikely we will see that happen so I suppose we just have to wait till players learn or get done farming achievements.

Kelly.7019 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 tldr: I think they should look at the coding for mounts/ vehicles. Half the buttons for the tank don't work & you have to manually click the action bar. I've noticed same goes for warkitty. For some reason when you keybind, mounting up doesn't override the binds you made to your character and you're left with skills not working. :( It should be a basic overlay skill use so they don't interact with each other. Mounted/ vehicle skills are primary and when not mounted the character binds become primary. something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know as a player trying to play the mechanics as intended it surely was frustrating to never break that bar due to lack of participation. hmm, i had a similar experience last night. People were very, very quiet in the public instance it seemed. It was a weird experience from the non stop map chat talk i'm use to. For a while i thought no one could see my texts, like i was censored or something, but nopes peeps just didn't speak until they too finally got bored with the slow, long fight at forgeman. I mean it was 3 days since launch of this maybe most of the over achievers already ran through it and all us casuals that didn't know the mechanics were left? But i don't know about that, some seemed to know what to do but they wouldn't fill it in for the rest of us. Bots? maybe. Personally, the whole char tanks experience from start to finish seemed extremely slow. This was a strike mission? It seemed more like a long, forced, slow escort march. I would have much preferred an open world & regular meta map. I really enjoy the exploration experience of maps on my own time, but couldn't really do that here with having to be within a certain distance of the tank for cheevos at a certain time. I don't think i'll be going back to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutal Augus.5917 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Warclaw mount 3 skill works similarly with gates in WvW. Just doesn't detach until you either do so manually or the gate goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An hour to fight the Forgeman, I think the instance I was in only 1 or 2 people got in the tank and it didn't take anywhere close to an hour, at the most 10 - 15 minutes, something is really wrong if it takes an hour or more to take the Forgeman down.

Not obvious enough considering my last 2 runs. ANet needs to add big red flashing lights and maximum font, increase dB by 9000 on the NPC voice lines that literally tell you how to do the fight as it happens. Then maybe, JUST MAYBE we can get a single harpoon break bar off. And on that day... pigs will be a flyin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important thing is that it doesn't hinge on players working together, but it does benefit from it. Which is a good approach to the design of these things Harpoon, french: Harpon. Easy to understand; in german it seems to be Harpune. I think it's due to AFKers and peeps turning off chat. Just did one 10 mins ago, I just said in map chat when heat vent is up "Prepare to harpoon when tank go back to middle". As a french, if I had 0 knowledge in english I still understand "Harpoon, Tank" and eventually "middle". On our group of 10, 6 successfully went in tank and did harpoon perfectly. 4 was still away killing foes and gathering ammos/repair. A issue I see is whatever you do fast completion time trial or not, in public instance, you have no additional rewards for doing so. Believe me; put a bonus of 50 silvers or several crystal shards and an increased chance of dropping stone summit armors if fast completed and will have more players doing it correctly. If I were Anet, I would have put the boss health bar as a world boss bar, always shown at top. That way the buffs, health and cc bar can be checked all the the time.

Eramonster.2718 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 There's a tutorial for how to use the tank right at the start. For public que, it will be a hit or miss. A timer will appear, they're usually players calling it out and Ryland(NPC) calling "Recruits! Bring it down with the harpoons!" every time. The fight is well designed, similar to open world; but with players limit. Tutorials and instructions from NPC is provided for the entire process :smile:. _PS : The final boss Ancient Forgeman can be done without the harpoon, just takes way longer._ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
