I have read literally nothing about the event except one post Jeromai did months ago but it started up when I happened to be on the map and I was able to join in, follow everyone else and complete the event without any idea of the mechanics. Same thing happened the second time.<br /><br />I could tell from things people were saying that some of the structure was the same - lanes that had to be held while other teams were fighting sub-bosses, the defeat of sub-bosses to open the way to the final boss etc. The event had absolutely none of the drama and tension of the Marionette, though.<br /><br />Marionette was primarily theater. It was a performance more than a fight. The way the ball was passed along the line each time if one team dropped it, the way players on the platform would relay the status of the fight to those outside who couldn't see the action, the way each platform could see the others but were helpless to assist...<br /><br />Every single Marionette run felt like taking part in a piece of improvised theater. There were countless possible variations. I tried to do the event as often as I could and I must have done it at least 30 or 40 times, maybe more. No two runs were ever the same. <br /><br />Vinewraith, by comparison, just felt like any other World Boss zerg event, albeit one with an insanely long and complex set of pre-events. If there were ever any subtleties to it then familiarity appears to have long since worn them to a nub.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-26609054606203503982015-05-06T07:08:52.673+01:002015-05-06T07:08:52.673+01:00It's pretty obvious that the Vinewrath was mea...It's pretty obvious that the Vinewrath was meant to be an iteration on the Marionette. Why did you find it weaker? I did Marionette a ton back in the day and loved it, but I've enjoyed Silverwastes too.Aspeonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-62752170957256186942015-05-05T16:36:39.072+01:002015-05-05T16:36:39.072+01:00I wish you had a "like" button on here, ...I wish you had a "like" button on here, because I have nothing material to add but wanted to say "I enjoyed reading this post" =)<br /><br />Thank you =)Iseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489936780809266112noreply@blogger.com
