General Dungeon Discussion Thread - Part 1
Plz no. I… I don’t like the smell of it.
Hey Lind do you remember this?
For those who ever doubt just how bad it gets when Oceanics complain about lag :P
Edit: Never realised just how much HP you have when downed o.O
Woo I didn’t realise you took a screenie.
“Memories are nice, but that’s all they are.”
You mean oceanic lag like this? #Newzealandproblems
Reeeeeally looking forward to the day my exams end. ;-;
“Memories are nice, but that’s all they are.”

Well. Well. Fractals…
Anyway, another funny fail…. from Grast. That jerk let us all die right after we melted the boss down and couldn’t collect drop
Yup. Can I join you?

I had already looted because I’m quick when it comes to getting the gold :>
And to everyone, I must confess something : I have taken a liking to playing the tradepost lately. I’m straying away from the dungeons to the point that I only ran fractals and played the tp in the last two days. I will need to do a teaching run or something to get back in shape.
Also I finally have my selfless potion. Only need Sunrise now to be the sexiest
I made an NA account! Anyone willing to escort me to the dungeon maps? :p
You should’ve done like me, keep it EU and leech dungeons with ur guild and then transfer to NA!
I’ve been away from the game a year and came back to find dungeons are even less interesting than before. Before when I played, people only tend to find ways to skip mobs that are hard… but now, they skip everything that can possibly be skipped for completion.
The question is: why is happening when the system is supposed to be improving? We still run dungeons for tokens as before (maybe some daily achievements are a factor now). Do NPC enemies not have a chance dropping tokens or something good?

Only the boss/miniboss encounters have a chance to drop wondrous bags which contain 3 dungeon tokens.

There’s a very long and involved explanation in the sticky FAQ. ^.^
And all who stood by and did nothing, who are they to criticize the sacrifices of others?
Our blood has bought their lives.

In case you are wondering why the system hasn’t been improving it’s because Anet dissolved their dungeon team.

I had a good laugh reading the latter part of that FAQ… it reads too much like an apologist piece for AreanNet xD
So basically people gotten used to the broken risk vs reward design now… and things aren’t getting better because the dungeon team got dissolved…

Well, not everyone thinks skipping is bad, or that what replaces it would be any better— that’s what we’re trying to get across.
Anyway, yes, the rewards for trash are brokenly low, so no one wants to fight them. It’s unlikely this will be changed.
It took me two hours to finish Arah P3 with my (social) guildies today. I’ve just realized that I’m not up to that skill level yet. The Lupi fight was the pain in the rear. I don’t know what is worse; like how some people rudely interrupted my explanation and expected it went smoothly by itself. Or some kid wanted to prove his solo ability but didn’t have the skill to back up his brag. Or chasing Lupi around and watching his HP go down pitifully slowly. Or die helplessly in the Bubble City because kitten it, I’m out of tricks. The fight at the Wraith Lord was nothing better. I dropped FGS down just to… stare at the thief who broke stack and kited the boss around. His reason is: ‘I die every time I stack!’. Oh well…

Friends don’t let friends run dungeons with social groups.
The time my LH ele was the only one melee’ing Laurent in TA was enough to teach me that…
I approve this as the spiritual sister thread to the one that was lost and taken before its time.
AAAAnd to keep this dungeony. Booted up the game a few weeks back. first time in months. I had no idea how to do anything. I blew my elite a half dozen times just trying to turn my camera (autocad op). joined a cof party cause why not. Nothing was optimized from anyone. still managed to stay alive throughout the dungeon. Our only casualty was when one guy went afk inside one of the fire lantern things.
TLDR buff cof difficulty already pweez. If someone who can’t even figure out how to use the camera can full melee (on a thief) a dungeon with a random group and not even down, then the dungeon is too easy.

I thought this was its descendant. :o

I feel descendant is something that happens when the topic comes naturally from the parent. I feel this is more of a game of thrones style where the king was murdered and now the brothers are vying for the crown. This thread just happens to be Stannis.
Go forth and seize the throne!

And now the game of thrones song is stuck in my head. THANKS
as long as I’m not Joffrey we are good.
Anyway, poor LA. Very bad, much 1121, so casual.
I hope it’s a dungeon soon >.>

Wow. Poor Iris! (Let’s get back to dungeon running, don’t wanna lose the thread!)

I’ve only done a single dungeon run for the past week… I need practice.
“Memories are nice, but that’s all they are.”
I haven’t run dungeons much lately. Any invites?
Stop running fracs at reset when we start tours, and you’d be doing more dungeons…
Great quote from Sneeky about a week ago: “Iris? Who’s she?” lol
Lol I haven’t run a dungeon since the new content came out… >.>

I start flirting with the undead. And RP walking.

That reminds me when Spoj tried to do AC on his NA account. He kept getting kicked before even getting the chance to explain.
Also you can PM me when I am online, I’d join for AC.
Would be happy to help you with AC on NA~
msg me on colesy.8490 if you want someone to join you

That’s the reason I had to eventually leave my casual guild. Most of them had no desire to improve. They would only run arah with me and lupi could be practically be a roadblock. Pugs were better by far.

The guild I’m in at the moment is like that.. whenever we do arah I end up soloing about every boss and everyone else afks..
Let’s hope they won’t read this thread then xD
My new Arah vid has been moved to Linksville after 30 seconds…
R.I.P the less casual Iris :’(
On the side note, I just started to do more touring today. So tiring!
