Guild Wars 2

As it stands, when you clear a dungeon in explorable mode (all paths), there is no tangible reward. I think a kewl way of rewarding doing all of the paths of an explorable mode dungeon is to make it a monthly achievement.

Here is how it would work:

The achievement would be for each of the dungeons on a monthly basis.
If you complete all the paths of a particular explorable mode dungeon, you are rewarded with a random piece of exotic armor or weapon from the dungeon set + any other misc rewards is seen fit including xp, karma, mystic coins, etc.

The monthly nature of this achievement would prevent speed run farming AND it would give everyone an incentive to play all the paths of all the dungeons at least once a month.

Thoughts?

interesting idea. but i would rather see a “monthly rotation” of say three dungeons.

Edit: didn’t read the reward bit. don’t agree with that. i would rather see some kind of dungeon tokens that can be traded in at any dungeon vendor, and not to much of it.

Sounds like a good idea to me. There needs to be some more tangible rewards for doing the dungeons, tokens are great and all but they are a long term goal, if there is a smaller goal it makes working for the dungeon armors in the long run more fun and interesting.

The main issue is that tokens are already rewarded for completing explorable mode. Add to that, arena net has recently implemented non farming code in order to encourage people to do multiple paths, why not add some tangible rewards?

Thread on guru has some ideas of making it a weekly achievement, making finding a group ezier. But I really think that there should be something special for doing a full clear of any of the explorable mode dungeons.

The idea of three (or less) dungeons per month is a good one; a person should be able to reasonably complete all timed achievements in the (same) allotted time period. Eight dungeons times the number of paths for each dungeon is way too many to expect any reasonable person to be able to complete in a month.

I believe you misread my original post.
I specifically stated that each of the dungeons should have separate achievements.
So for example if you completed all wings of AC35 and then all wings of CM45 you’d get both rewards from both dungeons. So essentially 8 totally achievements one for each of the dungeons.

Well with the new patch (9/25, updated dungeon rewards), I think this is entire thread is null and void
