Guild Wars 2

I have not done many dungeons, and when my main toon killed Zhaitan, we all had to rez like crazy to get through each stage of the story.

I can’t imagine doing this with the “new” rules: waiting for a wipe before everyone could rez.

I’m getting ready to finish up the personal story of an alt, but I’m apprehensive. Have the bosses and mobs been toned down a little, or do the players have to be a lot better?

I finally made it to the dungeon, and the short answer is that killing Zhaitan has been dumbed down quite a bit, perhaps too much.

Arah story is disappointingly easy. Most of the other story dungeons are harder, even the open world DEs in Cursed Shore are harder (with 5 people).

Even a half baked team can get through it with no issue. The worst of the fights is the first against the attunement guy, and only then if your team don’t realise how the attunements work.

Maybe I should have made clear: I’ve done the dungeon once; it took my group probably 2 hours. I tried a second time for fun; the group dissolved either at the last or next-to-last stage, which was really a disappointment.

In short, it was not at all easy for me; I wanted to know if ArenaNet had dumbed it down when they changed the rez policy in dungeons.

Well, I’ve paid for the game; come what may I’m going to give it a go.

And as the people above mentioned, its not as hard as you think. The problem may have been that your first group lacked “dungeon experience” or maybe they aren’t equipped properly. I finished it on 3 characters and never spent more than 1hr + 15 mins even on the worst run. My most current run, last month, went very smoothly, no wipes.
