I made a topic about it 15 hours ago and it still has 0 posts…
Community doesn’t seem to care.

The content it self seems a bit underwhelming compare to what we’re used to, Unless there are surprises on the way.

It’s actually new info about the update. Wonder if the existing TA paths will get some revamp. Seems like they won’t.

And given the dungeon is part of the living story, that means it’s temporary. Again. Given all the defense I’ve given of this game over the past couple of months and how the next update after this one will just be a rehash of Halloween, my enjoyment of this game is waning, quickly.

Inbefore the 4th TA path will be removed after 1 month.

If there’s not going to be a bunch of “press F 150 times” achievements and if Scarlet doesn’t plot-armor her way into an escape just so we can do it all again in two weeks then I’ll be happy. I somehow doubt I’ll be happy…

Do we know it will be removed?

Much like Teq, i’m willing to bet this new dungeon path will be staying, though it won’t change along with the Living Story.

Something tells me that Scarlet won’t even be there. She’ll watch and taunt you, but I think she won’t even be present.

However, given the power that we were told the Nightmare Tree has, the fact she captured and controls it is actually a serious problem.

If the path is good, I’m happy.

Will this path be required for the completion of Dungeon Master?

Hm… a new dungeon path…that’s it? And it requires me to pug to do it…. lovely. sigh Going to be a very, very frustrating couple of weeks… Maybe not, we’ll see how it goes…

Surely there must be more then that

Levetty.1279:

I would assume so as well, but maybe not. Have to catch the live stream and see what’s said.

Then again, Queen’s Speech didn’t look like much either…

I have no problems with the existing TA Paths , i think they are fine as they are.

Its Permanent

Interesting update even if it’s a bit small. Given the fact that the Molten alliance facility and the aetherblade dungeon will be coming back in the form of fractals, I bet this will be permanent.

Seems like lately Anet has been focusing less on “big” LS updates that force you to do random chores and more on one big central item in the update and some random stuff for the meta around it that you can ignore if you just do the daily for a while.

Although I thought the whole of TA was getting an update not just a new path… if not I’ll be a little bit disappointed but the new path should be fun.

I see they are transitioning dungeons to the same RNG crap shoot the rest of the game is moving towards…

So much for their innovative and fun design of letting you work towards your rewards with a token system….

Also are they seriously adding just 1 path to 1 dungeon? I see they are seriously backing off the pace of LS updates… I hope there are a lot of other fixes or something.

You are right, that’s indeed the direction they are going. But tell me why whole TA needs an update ?

If they removed the old paths I would of been very unhappy. TA is one of the better designed dungeons. The only things that could use tweaking are the final boss fights and a slight rework on fyonna. So an extra path is good in my eyes. Will have to see if the new path is an enjoyable and well designed path though.

It’s a small update, because on October 15th you’ll have a pretty big update, followed by the whole Halloween thing.

so i am not the only one who thinks this is a very poor update.

i hope it’s not the beginning of the end

I lead my own guild, thank you. We are just…small. Which is fine by me.

Evidently locusts consume tokens too quickly…gotta use the good ol’ Skinner Box to keep them around.

Well one path of TA is completely broken and never run. And the devs said ALL dungeon paths would be getting a revamp like AC to introduce better mechanics and less autoattack spam. Now it seems like they are just adding a single path instead.

Jakzor.4160:

I think you (all of us) should withhold final judgment until the patch actually goes live. Praising or criticizing this or that gleaned from the patch preview is one thing, glorifying or condemning it entirely before even experiencing it is another.

Colin has told us that they are still working on revamping the dungeon paths. As recently as PAX…. this kitten just takes time.

Overhauling the dungeons is going to be a long process. I’d rather them take their time and get them right before release than rush something out just to meet a deadline. The Living Story has taught me less of a good thing is better than more of a bad thing.

AndrewSX.3794:

What is the rush?

http://www.guildwars2hub.com/features/editorials/twilight-assault

Rumors run rampant that Scarlet Briar has found herself a new home there and is at the heart of it all! Caithe will be calling heroes together to stop Scarlet! This newest story includes new events and rewards but also a whole new PERMANENT ADDITION to Tyria!

So in the next 2 week update we will get a new dungeon?

Skritt the devs have gotten lazy.
In other games a 2 week update would be something huge like fixing a bug or two, but no, we just get a dungeon.

Logic dictates that this can’t be a permanent addition as Scarlet is going to be defeated at some point in the future. I wonder how they are going to pitch this =/

:( more back pieces
more re skins
more of the same

still no new armor

Evans.6347:

Zhaitan was defeated but we can still go back and kill him over and over.

Don’t we ‘defeat’ the bosses at the end of any dungeon path? shrug

There is the possibility that we don’t ‘kill’ scarlet though. She could be a persistent villain that just repeatedly crops up. Batman never killed the Joker in the series – caught him plenty of times, but he always got loose to cause havoc again.

“New” dungeon has been in the game since launch. Take a look:

Skin seems to be a blue version of the current pink weapons set available, so no new models, just guardian flavour weaponry. Also new mini! (again).

Cant we have loot/rewards from LS that are compatible to say ascended or legendary crafts?

This game supposed to be a cosmetic game and is the less they have is cosmetic armor just weapons and more weapons , but no new armor to make new looks or combine im getting tired to look the same and other people look the same too just with new weapons …. sorry english not my language

Weapons are easier and less time-consuming to make than armor (5 races x 3 armor classes is 15 different armor skins). And given the rate at which they’re churning out Living Story updates, it’s pretty obvious why most new skins are weapons or backpieces. I’m not real crazy about it, but that’s why it is what it is.

yeah i know , just it suck being stuck with the same armor and only new back pieces, they should put a team just for new armors because this game is supossed to be like that oh well guess ill just wait

Armour takes a lot longer to design. They have released new sets a few times recently (all on the TP though). I like new weapon skins, unfortunately they havent released any that I actually really want. Still waiting on dark themed skins, closest so far is the tequatl ascended gear.

It’s been a while since I last ran it but I remember thinking some parts could use a little more polish. One path with the spider nightmare tree final boss is just plain unfun and frustratingly hard in a bad way. All 3 final bosses are kinda weak imo compared to the revamped AC bosses and some of the better boss fights and could use an update. It’s good but it would be nice if it was boosted to a great dungeon in this update.

I’m waiting for red posts before judging because Anet has stated TA was next on the revamp list so it’s extremely odd that any changes to the old paths is not in this path when the Living story focuses on this dungeon.

Ya’all missed the point of this update. It’s all green-ish.

If you want to show off your new special goodies from TA or Tequatl, you’ll surely want them to match the color of your armor. Mmmmm.

What a coincidence! You can now buy those in the gemstore! You’ll receive a[n unspecified]* chance to receive 1 of the 6 new green dyes from a loot table containing 25 dyes!

• PSA: the fact that the loot table contains 25 dyes, of which 6 are “special”, does not mean your chance is 6 in 25 to receive a special dye. It only means the loot table contains 25 dyes. It could well be that one of the six “special dyes” is set to drop 25% of the time, whereas the other five “special dyes” are set to drop 2% of the time.

So far I have loved every post launch dungeon they’ve added to the game, looking forward to this patch!

Right because other than those special shades, I have no green dyes at all. In fact, green dyes are so hard to get, I might mortgage my house to get more green dyes.

Vayne. Before you lash out with harsh criticism, do yourself a favor and preview the new dyes together with, for example, the Tequatl weapons or the TA backpack, will you?

They’re designed to match. While you’re at it, check out the added glow which, again, perfectly matches the Tequatl and TA goodies.

Edit: “Conspiracy theory”, come on. If you want to sell your stuff inside a game, make sure you design the game in such a way that it will sell. It’s such a basic form of marketing, I should not have to tell this to you. Having read many of your posts, I know you’re smarter than that.

No one posted in your thread because there was already a thread about it…

yay let the qqing begin all people seem to do no matter how good something may be. Some of us play for ENTERTAINMENT. Its not a job so no need to get all worked up about these patches either you enjoy it or you dont simple as that.

Post recreated because of infraction. (It was the first post in this thread)

Well, i’ll be the first then: A new dungeon! Awesome!!!!! Everything else mentioned.. Sounds like the usual *excrements..
Who wants to bet there’s a chore achievement for hunting down key pieces all over the jungle. Sigh.

*Changed that word because of previous infraction.
