"Taking a stand" quest

[Craftysloth]

Yep - confirmed. I'm doing this on "very easy" and I looked up a tutorial to make sure I'm doing everything I should be doing and I'm still not able to get passed this absolutely soul sucking quest. I tried it so many times that I had to shut off the game and am wondering when I'll return to it since I can't continue my MSQ without completing it.

Such a shame. Not sure if/when I'll finish the expansion at this point since it seems my skill level isn't good enough to get passed a "very easy" main story quest.

Wow. Just went and read all the condescending comments from everyone who didn't have an issue with this one. That made me feel *fantastic*. Hope you're all feeling boosted after belittling everyone who wasn't able to nail it on their first go and turned to the forums for help.

As someone who openly admits that my skill level in this game is unfortunately low, you have my sympathies!

As I noted back on page three, it took me four attempts to pass this quest - two on Normal, one on Very Easy and then passed it on 'Easy'. And again, I do wonder whether the 'Very Easy' option is bugged, as I found the 'Easy' option less problematic than 'Very Easy' personally.
Though I'll add that it's not an experience I'd want to repeat - I've never been a fan of the 'play as another character' mechanic at all. I know why they do it but that doesn't make I have to like it.

That aside, I do hope you can find it in yourself to persist, as it'd be shame to miss out on the remainder of the MSQ. Keep us posted, please? And good luck!

Honestly, considering many of you all probably have a lot of experience with the Very Easy mode (which is perfectly valid), we had quite many solo duties this expansion and yet it's specifically this one that keeps being mentioned, it might very well be a bug/oversight in fine tuning. Especially when people struggling with "Very Easy" manage the fight on "Easy", which is supposed to be harder.

Maybe consider opening a bug report in the respective forum area or via in game support desk, if you haven't done so already. It's always a bit of a question how much they pay attention to detail in sub forums like this (let alone in "General Discussion"), but they are reading and sorting the ones in the bug area. Same goes for others who had a similar experience or have been stuck and are going to try it on "Easy" soon. (If you have yet to finish this mission - provided you have the option - you can even record it and add this to the report.)

Thanks, Carin-Eri! I just finished the instance. I found it easier to beat on "Easy" instead of "Very Easy". Also I wasn't doing one of the mechanics right even when I really thought I was. The part where he brings down the three damage dealies that you have to stand in? I was standing as far away from as possible to try to avoid getting hit. If you do that part of the fight correctly, it lines you up perfectly for doing the next mechanic! Silly me. Thanks for relating though - I thought I was just that horrible at the game! Glad to know I wasn't alone.

Maybe this game isn't for you if you're not able to win a fight that is scripted to be winnable if you know the bare minimum about the mechanics of this game (pressing buttons and avoiding AoE)? I mean, after ARR, HW, SB, ShB and EW, we're supposed to know how to play? It's not like Wuk Lamat is hard to play lmao
