Tentacle pie... chart

After extensive research this weekend, here is a delicious data flavored pie chart detailing why Twisting Tower blows:



The place sucks, particularly if one is solo queueing and communication between players is minimal. Even in vent with my group we were frustrated (What floor are you on?" "THE ONE WITH THE THING IN THE MIDDLE HURRY!!11"). I appreciate that this SC is "harder" than say, Caledor Woods, but as it is now, the amount of fun had in this place is on par with wandering around a multi level parking garage. Maybe if it was 24 on 24 the chances of good fighting would have been higher.

On the plus side, I now have about 200 tentacle pies. Sleep well, order.

This IS my least favorite SC of all time. I want this SC to go die in the trenches of IC.

Btw. How did you make that graph.

Awesome!!!

I think you need to add a slice to that pie for the time spent by players trying to cap each point for the Weekend Warfront.

I actually like the scenario..Sometimes it gets a bit unorganized..but most of the time you found fights. Not the 12vs12 spawn-camping, but more 2vs2 or fights with less than a group.. I didn't care about collecting and throwing tentacle pies, so for me this part was cut and the ratio between fighting and running around was better.

Actually I never finished any of the weekend warfront tasks..it's now a tradition ;)

I like the mix when other scenarios are popping up to, which they did on Drakenwald (EU). So it was a nice change of pace.

Oh, god... So true. The only good part of this sc is flying around while you're a bear. Everything else? Kind of sucks.

Actually, I just like collecting the pies. While running other SCs or RvR, I try to pie as many healers as I can. I usually never get attacked, just a stunned silence.

I pugged it all weekend and I must say on my order toons in all tiers I didn't lose one time. I did about ten on my destruction toon and it was horrible. People not staying together in a group was the biggest problem that I saw.

Glad to see at least some people had fun. I think one of the issues with this SC is that it's still pretty "new." A lot of players I ran with/against just didn't have enough experience with it to coordinate anything effective.

The last instance of TT that I got to do was a blast though. Both teams just said "fuck it" and we ended up beating each other senseless on the bottom floor for 15 minutes.
