Guild Wars 2

ArenaNet, can you please release an official statement regarding your opinion of PvE’s current state, the specific plans you have to actually improve them, and the future of PvE in general? If this has already been done, can a link or quote be provided?

I have consistently been trying to force myself to believe that I have been in sub-par groups. I have tried making excuses like “my gear isn’t good enough”, “or maybe its my build”. No. I can’t take this anymore. I’ve been working very hard to establish a guild on my server – I’ve recruited over 115 members. I bought a Ventrilo server. I created a website. I organize and schedule events. But no longer can I do this – after running CoF (story) again (so that my friend could obtain some better gear), I want to quit this game for good. We were in there for over 2 hours trying to kill mobs with a ridiculous amount of HP. I probably died over 20 times. After all that hard work I get 13 silver (spent about 30 silver in repairs, and had to loan 50 silver to my friend because he ran out of money repairing) and 88k experience [lmao]. He did not get a single piece of gear that he could use. This game will go down in history as one of the worst MMO games ever created in the history of mankind.

enjoy your stay.

Seriously after reading all that i can believe you said cof story mode. Your group was doing something wrong or you are exagerating, it’s not that hard.

They said they are already working into improving rewards.

It’s a known issue. They say they are going to fix it. What a lot of us are wondering is how this ATROCIOUS reward system actually made it to the live game. Give them another shot though, just wait and see how they decide to improve it. We’re all hoping it’s a complete overhaul… the difficulty is a non issue. If they want the game to be tough as nails, bang my head against the wall hard… that’s their prerogative. They need to increase the rewards by a million fold though.

If it wasn’t for the atrocious reward system people that exploited cof would have broken the game economy and it would a big disadvantage for those who do it after a fix.

They will probably try to fix as many dungeons as posible before giving proper rewards. Makes sense to me.

disadvantage != broken. and it still it’s no argument for it. “let’s put in a crap reward system in case we can’t be bothered with testing dungeons properly and they find a glitch” – nope, doesn’t sound right.

This post applies for CoF explorable which I have done as well as every other dungeon that I have done. I probably should have specified that. I’m sure there were undergeared players but the problem is you’re supposed to do dungeons to get geared. There are other options to get geared of course, such as karma, but the items are very pricy.
