Guild Wars 2

Each day when you finish a unique path for any explorable or story dungeon, you’ll receive a bonus reward for completion—1 to 3 gold for explorable dungeons depending on their length and difficulty, 50 silver for story dungeons.

6 min for 1 gold in cof?
Or 45 min for 3 gold in arah?

Hmm.

How can you be this short-sighted?

Still diminishing values

I see the resurrection of CM Story Mode.

The champs arent gonna give you extra gold anymore.

He’s not being short-sighted, but realistic. Let’s suppose a normal player only plays through one or two dungeons every day. Which do you think he’ll play after the update? In Cof 1, of course. A normal player will only pick anything that is not cof1 after completing cof 1, and that’s IF they want to complete more than one dungeon path that day.

You need to do something more than once for it to technically be referred to as “farming”

I hate to break it to y’all, but farmers will always find the most efficient way to make gold. Even Colin acknowledged that in an interview last week.

And if that results in Cof1 still being farmed then..

TOO BAD

And the 1/3 gold is only for the first run after that you probably only get the drops from the mobs. Which would make running the same dungeon multiple times far less profitable.

And at this given moment that “normal player” could eat an omnomberry bar to get 80ish silver from the run, so I don’t see how this actually changes anything.

The problem is unless you play “only” 6 minutes a day. You are forced to run other dungeon path.

I kind of perdict arah will only give 3 gold at max. Since if you use the speed run matrix, people really can finish arah in 15-30 minutes depend on the path.

CoF p1 best dungeon ever! Nothing better than skipping 90% of the trash!

CoF p1 will still be the hotspot because reward actually equals time there.

There is still plenty of variables we don’t know yet. At least these came to my mind:

1. Champs (slave driver) don’t drop coin any more but they might drop valuables like crafting materials, which might be actually worth more coin compared to what you get now.

2. We are most likely going to get 1 gold for the first cof1 run but how does dr work here? Is it 0 coin after that all the time or what?

To expand on my cryptic first post ( I’m sorry for that, I was in a hurry ), I meant to say that while yes, CoF p1 will still probably be one of the most farmed dungeons, the changes are meant to put a stop to running that specific path 20 times.

Other people looking to farm gold for more than 15 minutes will probably change dungeon/path.

To expand on my original post;

The min value of 1g and the max value of 3g does not represent the disparity between the min effort to run a dungeon and the mas effort to run a dungeon. If you’re going to give me 1g to run CoF in several minutes, you’re going to have to do better than 3g to get me to run arah.

CoF will still be done more than Arah, but this will lessen the reward difference.

Also, if you have enough time, maybe you do CoF p1 & 2, then you go to CoE all paths, then you go do AC all paths etc etc

While I agree cof p1 is still gonna be popular, its just not gonna be farmable to the same extent (as far as I know).

Also you’re 45 minute arah statement isn’t complete accurate, with an optimized group and skilled players you can get arah p3 done in like 18 minutes, which would then give you the same g/hour as cof.

Hmm.

We will no longer receive guaranteed silver from dungeon bosses once this update goes live. We’ll also only receive the end gold bonus once per day. I really don’t see why people would want to keep spamming CoF 1 when they could just do it once and move onto other dungeons. It’s not like the drops are that great, molten core/lodestones aren’t even worth that much anymore.

It will be more profitable to do the other quick dungeons. Maybe this will even spark some better pug speed run standards for other dungeons. I imagine a host of new paths will become the new farming meta.

I hate to break it to y’all, but farmers will always find the most efficient way to make gold.

Technically they already did… and it hasn’t ever been COF.

It reminds me of when Chris Rock would talk about “Rich” Basket balll players.. and then compare them to the NBA sponsors they work for and use the word “WEALTH” instead…

He’s talking about farming, not flipping. CoF is currently the most efficient farm in the game.

Hmm.

it takes 30 min for my guild to do paths 2-3 of arah,
Assiming that each are worth 3g thats 6g in 30 min, or = to running cofP1 with +10% banner, +30% booster and an omnom.

I’d be going for Arah p4 – a lot of champs. Really doesn’t take that long if you know what you’re doing.

It’s not farming if you only do it once :/

1g for 6 minutes or 3g for 15 minutes… or 4g for 21 minutes

I wonder how valuable drops will be from champions. We could potentially go back to having people farm the champions at the beginning of some dungeon paths again if the rewards are worth it.

champs are just gonna be a dumb loot bag with a horrible chance at cores, most likely going to be a few fine mats.

Broadicea they’ve already posted new skins from them.

You need 45 min to do Arah?

I wasn’t talking about Flipping either

Hmm.

45 minutes with a PUG seems way way to short. Make it 4 hours, 50 minutes.

You do know that you can recieve that reward per dungeon path just once a day right?

Both

Well unless their plan to stop “farming” is to make the bosses in dungeons drop cash/loot once per day. that would bring CoF P1 to a screeching halt since after the first run, you will get no more cash or loot till it resets the next day. This would force people to have to play other dungeons. Of course the question is will the DR be character based or acct based.

Make dungeons drop cash once per day? :O it’s like he reads the announcements or something!
