Guild Wars 2

Lately, my regular dungeon farming group have been doing better and better. This means we can clear each dungeon faster and faster. In most cases, we can clear all paths of a dungeon in under an hour. Our normal reward for completing an entire dungeon (all paths) is 60 – 45 – 45 tokens. If we go to another dungeon right after that. We get 45 – 45 – 45. We’ve come to the conclusion that, if we wait for about 20-30 minutes before going to the next dungeon we do at least get 60 on the first path of the next dungeon.

What’s strange is that sometimes we actually get different rewards, even though we’ve done the exact same dungeons in the same group that day. One guy could get 45 – 60- 45 and another gets 60 – 60 – 45. It doesn’t make any sense.

We never run the same path twice in one day, but always end up with lowered rewards no matter what.

I know this has been said a million times, but c’mon. It would help to have some transparency on the DR system. We expect 180 tokens from each dungeon per day. But what we end up getting is more often than not 150 (60+45+45) or even worse 135! (45+45+45)

*Is this intended or is it still something that’s broken?

Does anyone else experience this as well?*

Yeah I just made a post last night with the same exact problem. We did 5 different paths in 3 dungeons and got 45 on the final run we did. 3 of our members have never done a dungeon before. Let alone the path we got 45 tokens on.

DR needs to apply to a path you’ve run before, not based on how fast you’re doing dungeons. Don’t punish players for being good. Don’t punish players at all.

Is it intended as an anti-botting or anti-farming technique or whatever the hell it’s called. You do your first run after the daily reset thing and it should be 60 tokens. After this, if you complete a different path within 30 minutes I think it is, DR will hit and you’ll get 45.

It is a blanket solution that punishes botters, farmers and legitimate players. The only way to get around it is take your time in the dungeon. Skip less mobs. Sit around and play bingo or bully one of your party members to sing karaoke in teamspeak/mumble/ventrilo/whatever you’re using until you’re at the 30 minute mark and then take on the final boss.

EDIT: Not that I have done any of those abovementioned things… they were just suggestions =)

Yeah, I noticed this too. It’s just too stupid to comprehend.
No. You cannot bot a dungeon.
Yes, you can farm a dungeon.
If you want to limit farming so badly, at least ease up on weekend when people have more time to play. Are we supposed to spend less time on weekend on this game?

I don’t quite grasp the DR rules, but it’s a whole new concept to me being punished for clearing a dungeon too quickly.

Today again. This time we got 45 – 45 – 30.

Have the devs said anything about this? It’s stupid as hell. We’ve now started taking 20-30 minutes breaks after each path we complete. There is no reason to punish legit players like this. Feels like Anet is telling us how to play the game and how good we can be at it.

Just try to do a path not skipping 90% of the dungeon. Then do an other path, than last path. Then change dungeon. Wanna bet you will get 60 tokens per run?
Oh just so you know, you should give a rest on that dungeon for a couple days at least

We do all paths in every dungeon daily (except Arah). You’re telling me that to get tokens, we’re supposed to stop doing dungeons? This happens in every dungeon, I hope that’s not the solution.

The thing we skip is Kohler in AC. Nothing else comes to mind, not even trash packs.

As I said, we do all paths daily. Does that affect it?

Implying people bot full dungeon paths anyway. It’s just a crappy system. Makes sense in terms of path repetition, not so much in terms of different paths in succession. I’ve hit DR more than once just doing dungeons like Hotw and CoE without skipping nearly any (if any in, CoE’s case) trash, hell I’ve even had DR trigger with two arah paths. Kind of annoying when you try to spend an afternoon doing dungeons to be forced to take ~40 minute breaks every 4 or so dungeons.
