Guild Wars 2

I haven’t seen any definitive answers on this and it will be tomorrow or sunday before I get an opportunity to test/see for myself. I’d really appreciate if anyone who has unlocked difficulty level 2 or higher could answer one simple question:

When you enter the dungeon again with a new group, do you get the choice to pick a difficulty level from 1 all the way through the highest common unlock level in the group? In other words, if everyone in your group has unlocked difficulty 5, could you choose to start at difficulty 1 or 2, etc. if you wanted to? Or are you forced to start only at 5 for all subsequent runs (unless of course you have someone in your group who hasn’t gotten as far as difficulty 5 yet)?

The two preview articles disagreed on this point, but it sure looks from the entry dialog like you can choose anything from 1 up to some max range (based on highest unlock in the group).

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer. And yes, I know we don’t yet know for certain whether there is a level reset every week, or whether once you attain a certain unlock level you keep that indefinitely until you surpass it again. (The two articles disagreed on this point as well.)

At the start of the dungeon, before everyone enters, you can select a difficulty level. Tough not done lv1 a second time, this leads me to believe it is possible.

So i wonder what the reward is for running higher difficulties. Ive just done lv2, and the token reward was the same. It was just a little harder.
