Guild Wars 2

Haven’t had a chance to try out the new dungeon yet, and was wondering how difficult these two new achievements are?

Also, I take it this dungeon really isn’t soloable? I guess I’m wondering if having other party members will make it harder to get these achievements?

Equipment Failure is for beating the first boss.

Faster Than Light is a skill achievement gotten for not getting hit by the electric fields.

How difficult though? And about how long into dungeon before you can attempt it?

Depends on how good you are at moving…after the first phase, you’re constantly moving. Most players won’t get it the first time through.

Last thing – do you get the achievement at the end of the dungeon or right after the lasers part?

That I’m not sure of.

Well…it seems (to me personally) that this dungeon is easier than the current permanent dungeons, as well as much shorter.

It will also depend on your party DPS. If your party is doing terrible DPS, you’re going to have to dodge a lot more lazers. Seems like the devs are intent on designing the game for zerker speed clear groups.

So I just tried dungeon and this looks tough (at least with pug – as your success here greatly increases with competent group).

My question now is whether or not you can fail and then get achievement after party WPs and tries again – or must you do this the very first time? Anyone know?

Pretty certain you must get it the very first time, unless you yourself did not die to the lasers (got mashed by a golem, maybe). If you get hit by a laser even once during the dungeon you fail the achievement.

^Ugh. I was hoping that if the group dies and the fight begins again – that you could try for achievement again in the same run. Otherwise, I can easily see peeps chasing this achievement bailing runs upon laser hits.

The Southsun dungeon achievement like this was great as you could get it during the solo story mode. qq.

No, it’s cool. Once you pass the lazers the dungeon bugs and you can’t continue because once again a dungeon that relies on freaking stupid idiot npcs….

I agree that the Southsun dungeon was much more ideally set up to get this achievement, but odds are you’ll need to run the dungeon several times to get the other skill-based achievements anyway, so keep trying.
