Guild Wars 2

At least treat players with some sort of respect Anet.

Take away the drops ala subject 7. Don’t discriminate player classes. There’s at least a couple of classes that are not having issues with the “nerf”. Farmers are still tying up queues and laughing in your face while on their way to the bank.

Why would you elect to change the difficulty, rather than the loot. You’ve biased this encounter against players that aren’t farming it. Why would you reduce the choices that players have against this for the the 5 gamkittenallenge?

I’ve had my gauntlet challenges done for some time, but I feel for those that you’ve discriminated against with your lack of deployment abilities.

A whole can of worms that you deserve brought to bear against you are your patch notes….but then I see you did a 180, by declaring that you changed the mechanics of the deadeye encounter.

meh…
a guildie just got about 800g doing this with the same profession he is still using to farm it (despite the so called “nerf”).

i just hate i dont have that proffesion at 80 so i can jump into the bandwagon.

honestly, it was too predictable before and deserved a nerf.

HOWEVER: Another stealth nerf??!!! C’mon!

Still farmable with guard, mesmer and thief.

And Ranger (but its way more annoying than before….)

Also, like I suggested before, the next time the Queen’s Gauntlet comes around, Please Limit the number of rewards we can get from Matches every day, instead of making things harder, because players will always find a way around hard bosses. Actual hard limits set into the code? not so much…

Its okay bro, just go down the stairs and join destroyers farm. Leave dunwell to professionals.

It’s a mistake that the Gauntlet was ever a farm. It’s far too profitable compared to other more difficult parts of the game.

I agree though, if you’re going to nerf something, do it right and nerf the rewards, not the encounter so that it becomes much more difficult/impossible for some classes but remains relatively the same for others.

…..your arrogance would be better suited if you looked up who you were talking to. You just got melted.

If Anet really dont want people to farm there they should just put time gate mechanic down there. Maybe disable gambit if you win 10 times with gambit on.And resume after a few hour.
Increase diffuculty not really needed. that gonna make things harder for them for later balance issue.

How was he nerfed?

ok guys, on to ragemaw, only 10% lower profits

With massive inconsistency and a misunderstanding of the game mechanics.

More time gating??! Please do not do this Anet!

You know what’s worse than a time gate? Game design which encourages a grind encounter by making it far more profitable than anything else in the game. The only reason why a lot more people aren’t doing this is because it’s more boring than the CoF farm.

Queen’s Gauntlet: taking the multiplayer out of the MMO but bringing back the mind numbing grind.

I feel like a fool running dungeons because I know I’m working harder for 1/10th of the reward gauntlet runners are getting. The actual reward design of the gauntlet is wrong. The encounters are intended to be completed in 2 mins or less, so the rewards should be balanced to reward 2 mins work, not the equivalent of half the reward of an Arah path.

People aren’t grinding Deadeye and Subject 7 because they are challenging or fun. They are doing it because it’s disgustingly profitable.

So wait a second, I played the game all night long in WvW. Lucky if I made 1-2 gold. Yet, people are farming this and already have 800 gold???? So while the rest of us are trying to enjoy a portion of the game, Anet’s allowing the economy to suffer from hyper inflation?

…GG…

…..that’s what happens when the people that are programming this game make less than the guys picking up your curbside garbage.

The horrible truth.

I enjoy fighting deadeye, well all of the gauntlets were a lot of fun.

D yeah real pro, it’s sooooo hard.. lmao.

Why is he only farmable with those classes?

Justdeifyme.9387:

Why is he only farmable with those classes?

Its likely easiest on those professions because they have a mechanic other professions dont that trivializes the fight.

f.e. if a fight involves a very hard hitting ranged attack that one-shots anything it hits, any profession that has the ability to reflect that projectile back at the boss will have a cakewalk.

insanemaniac.2456:

What this guy said.

I still can’t understand why people have been farming Deadeye over Ragemaw in the first place. Deadeye may give slightly more money, but Ragemaw is faster and has a 100% success rate on every class once you get your ideal rotation down.

deadeye drops charged lodestone & more gold, ragemaw drops charged core & less gold

Could someone reply with some specifics of how he was changed? I’ve never farmed anything on the gauntlet but I’m still curious.

I agree. It’s pretty insane the way Anet is allowing people to get so much gold for too little work. Feel bad for those in the other parts of the game. Made around 80g in two days. So profitable. But I’d rather be doing something else and I would if the payouts from the gauntlet weren’t this good.

He was changed in the fact that he now targets you instantly upon entering the gauntlet, he also has a random rotation of attacks and ports to random areas of the arena.

The damage caused by his reflected attacks also have been reduced by about 99% (lol overkill much there Rob?). But the funny thing is, since he does Kill Shot in melee range now, that gives us Guardians enough time to do another auto attack chain so we still kill him before he teleports. lol gg anet, good try anyway.
