Guild Wars 2

Are we really supposed to be able to do those first two alone?

I did. Multiple times. Try a tanky build.

Yeah the second one was a bit harder but i did it with gold still, third, the veterans are so strong..

I was doing okay with the veterans until the veteran mob spawned that was just called “Veteran”. Got put down quickly lol

I really cant imagine doing this solo lol.

I can’t. I barely did it with 2 others. We wiped on the 2nd one. I may sit this 2 weeks out. I don’t see any way I can get 6 of anything without doing at least these first 2.

I didn’t find the first 2 levels terribly hard but I am running a bunker ranger.

Oh, that explains why I was having trouble with tier 3!

As a MM Cleric I found them easy, but tier 3 is too much for my minions. I’ll try zerker warrior next time.

I’m a staff Elementalist. Apparently a terrible one.

I did 1-2 solo in my zerker thief. 0 problems, even killed 62 aetherblades on the second tier. Tier 3 however might be extremely difficult to finish solo as you get spammed by veterans with cc abilities.

Do you get something extra if you solo it?

Well some really nice folks from TOAD helped me get 1 & 2, so thank you to them again!

And I think I’ll sit out 3 & 4 and hope I can piece together enough of the other stuff to at least get Ellen’s achievement done. Not sure I have the stamina to do another 1 & 2 for the other guy.

First is easy soloable, second is soloable, easy when 2 people. Do you need tier 3 and 4? Almost solod Tier 3, but went down with 30 seconds to go. Since I`m not that good, T3 should be soloable by better players as well.
I don`t recommend tanky builds, as they don`t bring enough damage to kill the looters quickly enough. I found very mobile characters to play nicely there.

did it with my heal shout warrior of course without wipe

First two are easy, burst guardian. Working on the ones after. So far no issues running a mf/burst with gs sw/fc

just soloed 3 also, never got below half health but doing the damage while dealing with the cc sucks.

First 2 super easy with berserker geared warrior. Tier 3 impossible (I killed the first confusion spamming veteran, died at the second).

Wait you’re meant to do it in a group? I thought it was just solo, ye t1 and t2 are fine.

Yeah t1/2 are easy enough to solo. T3 is a little more difficult but still not hard. T4 is what I’m currently working on soloing. Thinking I might have to actually get better gear =(

I did it as a Staff Ele and it wasn’t so bad (30 water, and evasive arcana does help though I suppose for those extra heals). Tier 1 and 2 at least. I ahve survived Tier 3 as well but it was kind of rough. Haven’t tried 4 yet.

Honestly the grenades are amazing though. I find it hard to find time to get the mine except maybe once or twice. Flamethrower isn’t so bad.

But at the end, forget trying to kill or defend, just do your best to stay alive. There is enough treasure that you can’t get overrun that way if you don’t die.

But oh boy they need to make it where you know what difficulty you are on and changing it to. Its also annoying its unlocked for both. I started the other factions run at tier 3 on accident. >.< That was rough, and pointless to win since I didn’t have the achievement unlocked.

Edit: On a tier 2 run I did get a random “Veteran” that was literally his name (on Gnashblade one). And he did like mass confusion for no reason. :S Not sure if it bugged on me but never saw him before. Just usually the mortars

First 3 were very easy on my spirit ranger solo.I just didnt expect p4 to be so much harder than 3.

I did the first 3 with absolute ease on my necro (power, tough, vit) who is admittedly very well geared. The fourth I only tried once and was horrible but maybe not impossible.

Don’t worry too much about defending the gold – it doesn’t go very fast, just do what’s safe. You can interrupt the carriers with CC and I never came close to losing that way.

Third wave has vets but they don’t really deal heavy damage. The looters also seem to be infrequent – I actually found this tier easier than the second. I think tanking up and/or having some pets helps a lot.

I finished all 4 tiers solo. It is possible.

Tried 1st one solo. Easy. 2nd one I died… cause the NPCs died too early and also it seems this is bugged a bit at the moment? The gold npcs are stealing 500 not 50 like mentioned?

At my 2nd try at Tier 2 the allied NPC seemed to completely ignore the enemies…

Waiting for a fix on this and trying later again.

I soloed rank 1 as a guardian with a defensive build and it was pretty easy.

Rank 2 solo is harder than rank 3 with a group, so just get a group and do 3.

I don’t know if this was intended, but we wiped several times before we just decided to play pinball with the first plunderer. Finished it.

I did T1 solo first try. Wasn’t that bad, though I only got silver.

Tried T2 solo and got rolled. I was keeping my treasure count pretty decently, but eventually there were just too many enemies attacking me and I went down and died. There were like 3 of the electrical mage types (those guys were probably the biggest problem, they seem to do the most damage and they attack constantly), couple grenadiers, and a couple rapier guys all at once I think.

Dunno what the best strategy is. Logic would suggest to just kill the plunderers exclusively but that’s what I was attempting when I ended up getting swarmed to death, so I dunno…

Oh. I noticed that the 25, 50 means that you need 25 or 50 guys to get silver or gold at the event medal… lol? Useless info… as if anybody cares about that. And always been wondering why there were no enemies with silver gold bag(they always turned gold when they stole something). So they always steal 500…

Tier 2 was easy at my 3rd try… when they were too many enemies later I just stayed near the point where they dropped the stolen treasure and let them move nearby and then spammed CC and killed them(the main enemies seemed to steay in mid area near the treasure pile). Only if there were 2 “runners” I moved to mid to already kill one early then running away to not get killed by the tons of mobs and finishing the other one near the “goal”.

Use passiflora/apothecary trinkets and armor, whenever a thief pops up focus on that only. You can solo all 4 stages.

Tier 4 is way easier solo than with a team.

You can solo all 4 tiers, just need to stay near blunderers’ spawns and not to aggro vets. It’s rather easy as a zerker as you can kill them in a few seconds and it’s best to have cc for the blunderer at right if you dont have that great ranged dps.

It’s rather easy with thief as you can stealth when vets spawn next to you and back a bit until they run away, I suppose it can be managed with any other class too.
