Guild Wars 2

I’m just wondering what’s up? A guildy told me and a brief browse through the forums seems to confirm that there was a chest nerf or something?

I’m just confused at what’s going on… I used to run ac 1,2,3, cof 1,2, se 1,3, hotw 1, and sometimes coe 1,2,3 and arah 1,2,3 daily for a lot of gold rewards. It was how I farmed my first legendary. I loved farming dungeons, it was fun, I felt like the diversity helped keep the grind/boring factor down and doing it so often felt really good.

Lately whenever I look in the lfg system I rarely if ever see groups for dungeons anymore. Maybe a few here and there. I heard they also increased some difficulty (haven’t really noticed except the troll in hotw1).

I’m just wondering where all the farmers went? There were a ton no matter what time of the day and lately they are hard to find.

Also any recommendations on a new farming spot? Maybe orr temple chains or world bosses? Can’t imagine that being better than dungeon runs but who knows.

I do know that dungeon rewards are somewhat buggy so it’s possible people are waiting for the bugs to be fixed before going in and potentially wasting time.

my gold farming spot is going to work every day so I can afford to buy a few gold here and there.

The rewards for doing a dungeon the second time in a day are next to non existant at this point, that was the only real general change.

It’s still the best money I’ve seen, 1g+ every ~10-15 mins with all other drops bringing that probably close to 2g in reality.

As someone who tries to knock out hte full tour each day, I do my best to avoid LFG. Why? Because if I put “zerk experienced” over half the time I get people who don’t fit those criteria. Now this isn’t a complaint aobut non zerk people, that’s fine, but please for the love of god read before you join a group and don’t be a jerk and don’t fit what is asked for!

So why is LFG empty? probably because most people who do daily runs are like me and have a group to do it with already.

I still almost always see groups looking for more for COE/AC/CoF, everything else is kinda dead.

SE did get a fix with dredge cart and the first wall on p3, p1 is still very easy if you do it right though.

HoTW got the troll, but honestly he’s a cakewalk now that the strats have been perfected, though hefty enough to scare most pugs (it’s fun teaching people the strat here, always “holy cow that’s a lot easier!”)

TA Forward just got hit with a fix to the flower jump.

So some recent changes that could turn people away from certain paths, but /shrug I doubt that explains why it’s so empty a lot of the time. And yes I’ve noticed the same thing, no real use to trying to pug much more than COE/AC for me lately.

Between the reward changes, ESO, and general boredom, that’s why there are less group.

dodge.

you lied, that wasn’t fun at all.

A big part of it right now is the daily bug that many players are experiencing. Since their “daily timer” doesn’t reset, they can’t get full dungeon rewards, including the token amounts.

LOL true, but you can pull him to the other side of the building you use to jump to. DOing this you can use the corner to not be feared away, stay right in there, and if he’s tight in there even use FGS =). Makes it easier IMO.

probably dont’ matter. It’s not like you need to spend more than 2 or 3 minutes waiting for a group to fill. At least for the popular path.

ok that’s probably it. thanks for the replies guys. even before the patch though it seemed to be not as active as it was even 1-2 months ago.
