Guild Wars 2

Anyone else noticed this? Just did a p2 with pugs and everyone was getting pulled 100% of the time and the bomb didnt instant explode in their face. Might have to test it out further later, but so far it seems that it has finally been “fixed” or made easier. Easy mode alphard now

I’m glad they fixed it, even though it made the fight more interesting :P

If you were onedhotted by the pull, you must have been like level 20 with no armor.

If this is “fixed”, I’m sad. Should have made the pull unreflectable, instead of giving the bomb it’s delay back. Seriously, we need harder content. Facerolled all queens gauntlet with 2-5 fps yesterday in one go, except for liadri, where I was constantly killed to freeze screens at start. Changed graphics to best performsnce, did it second try.

I’m kind of disappointed with this update. Alphard’s pull SHOULD be 1-hitting you IF you get pulled. What they SHOULD have changed was that someone getting pulled doesn’t wipe the entire party, but just the person pulled. That would have been absolutely perfect.

Wtf dub, are you me? I can not even FIGHT liadri thanks to lags and freezes right when i enter the arena/cage. 1-5 fp/s…

Yeah just did alphard again and leisurely walked out of her bomb. Now that the bomb doesn’t instantly explode, it kind of makes me miss the old mechanic/bug. At least this fight will be more tolerable with people who like to stack on her hit box.

Dub has legendary lag.

I avoid checking up any thing new the day the patch hits. There are always some weird lag/delay/freeze going on which are completely unrelated to my connection. After doing some crystal jumps and getting frozen in mid air, I told myself the gauntlet is not ready for me to visit yet.

Yesterday I had like a 10 mins disconnect from game server while I was chatting just fine.

Well, I guess that answers the question of whether the change was intentional or not. I wish they would have just admitted it at some point so we’d have known sooner. And surprise! The change wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes this time, either.

Maybe now I’ll actually pug p2 again!

All of my usual complaining and kittening aside, thanks anet — we had lost hope months ago that anyone was even paying attention to the dungeons. Glad that wasn’t the case.

I know some of you pro/solo players liked the broken Alphard bomb, but that was such an obvious bug xD Glad it’s gone.

RIP Alphard requiring any sort of skill

/cheer

Yayyy I can do Alphard!

:D

Hahaha probably still can’t xD

Did they fix Arah waypoints, underwater and jumping puzzles at the same time?

ermagerd, I’d love to see the p1 tar boss wp fixed. Another obvious bug like Alphard, since the wp opens when you finish the dungeon, just not when you kill the tar boss.

The p2 wp after the spider skip should be either fixed or removed, too.

Also, is defeating Lupi required for dungeon rewards yet?

Seriously, ANet…..wanna stop people from exploiting Arah for good? Simply make Lupi required. Can’t kill him underwater, and anyone who can solo him probably isn’t exploiting. And if they are, kitten it, they’ve earned an easy run.

They fixed the one spot I knew of to get underwater, not sure if there are more, but there probably are.

I miss the “bugged” alphard that required skill </3

Now don’t get me wrong — I’m all for more challenging mechanics, but triggering an explosion (or 4) when a boss places a bomb is a bug :-P

BTW, awesome FotM50 solo. I would have given up after an hour of getting my kitten kicked by krait xD

Ty ^^

Did they fix the glitch with alphard resetting to full hp in the middle of the fight btw? There was a glitch where without even going invulnerable, she would just instantly replenish her hp. I don’t know why.

Also she can sometimes go invulnerable and back to the middle and reset to the last wave with clones, but without any barriers reappearing.

Well, since they didn’t even put the bomb fix in the patch notes, we’ll just have to wait and see if it happens again. Your solos are the only time I’ve ever seen that happen, so looks like it’s up to you to find out.

Unless a dev wants to chime in on this thread.

dies laughing

Note: Devs, please make me look like a sarcastic prick and comment on this thread. Even just to say “Hello”. It would make my day.

Dub had the chance to witness the orb not only hit me through the wall in a duo with him, but it took a turn around the edge of the barrier and hit me.

Bone wall still buggy

Just did Alphard twice without even dodging. =/

Just thought I’d add here that I just finished a P2 solo now and I used ogre pet whistle to break stun from the 2 risen plague carriers that exploded, and then Brie went invulnerable on me…

Needless to say, I was kittened off. Not going to try it again to test it but just thought I’d warn people of it.

You can slowly walk without swiftness if you get pulled. It’s a joke.
P3 jp still working. P2 swimming not. Mage crusher got..interesting. Still no p1 wp after tar.

Now you won’t have to use a trident!

Alphard still buggy, she can reset and go back to the middle or sometimes use daggerstorm in her current position without teleporting to the middle.

Just found out wraithlord crusher(?)(the 2nd boss in p3) can now move, no more safespotting afk kill.

Wheatty.1892:

interrupting the teleport is a bad idea

Wraithlord (end p3) now flees from melee. Best design ever.

can’t LOS wraithlord for FGS either it seems. top quality design from anet !!!!!

Soloed Alphard yesterday, got pulled 3 times.

Such challenging content with such high risk.

Same here, lol.

Now the only “danger” is a daggerstorm orb instantly hitting you once she begins the attack.

Glad to hear about the crusher. That boss was such a joke xD

So by p3 JP still working, you mean lupi can still be skipped without losing rewards? LOL

I will just use lifesteal. Need to dust off the necro.
The jp is to get to lupi not after it.

Don’t forget to remove your screenshot and claim it was photoshopped once people found out what you really did.

Hey purple, Alphard just reset to 100% on my party when she hit 50%. Still broken.

2 days ago alphard kept resetting every time she ported to the middle. Every. Time. We had to completely reset the fight for it to be fixed.

The bone wall bug seems to happen a lot more, too.

take off ur armor and trinkets if you want a challange then ._.

i’m really happy the insta-gib is gone, makes him(her? it?) actually enjoyable again for the (i would assume) MAJORITY of players.

It makes the boss, just like the rest of the path a complete joke.

You actually needed to pay attention before, now I can literally eat every single pull, walk out and not give a darn.

a joke to you maybe
the problem with difficualty scaling in a mmo is the huge ammount of players: so much different skill levels they have to take into consideration to make content available to as many players as possible.

and tbh: i dont find content that instantly punishes you for any error (yours or connectivity or massive FPS drop) with a 1 shot nuke to be any good. if you get nuked it better be ur own fault not some bad mechanic.

I play from europe on NA with lag and dealt with Alphard just fine. Soloing on warrior was stressful for me though so I preferred to solo on mes.

Just now I soloed on warrior up to alphard, was too lazy to sell and just offered it up on lfg. I literally made no effort to not get pulled and just happily walked out, avoiding the bomb damage.

The fight is a complete joke and ANet need to “bug” it again.

good for you

but my point was “what about the people who are more casual” as i said theres a lot of skill levels in a mmo. not everyone can be super skilled and that jazz: anet is looking out for what i’d assume is the majority of players by making it more accessible

remember content that is “to easy” for you might be actually difficult to others

Arah is an end game dungeon, the bosses should be challenging.

why would anyone unbind their movement keys? that doesn’t make any sense.
