How to Get Magg Through the Lava?
Unless you want to spend a gold for your team’s repair bill, give it up. Corpse run basically. Design at it’s finest.
We didn’t even manage the corpse run. He would attack everything even though some of us tried kiting the mobs away.
I don’t mean this as a troll or snide remark, but just give it up. CoF is unplayable at the moment unless the third choice works. (But I heard it didn’t.) First choice is easymode until last boss which is beyond overtuned.
don’t run dungeons.
the rewards are not worth the effort. doing a “challenging” boss ( they just give bosses a ton of damage and HP) don’t give a reward enough to warrant trying to kill him after 4+ wipes.
i hear people having problem with the last boss. some even stayed 2 hours trying to kill him. what kind of reward does he have to warrant 2 hours in a dungeon?
these dungeon aren’t challenging. they’re just Artificially Difficult.
Artificial Difficulty =/= Challenging Difficulty
they pack bosses with tons of HP. that the fight becomes tedious and boring.when bosses can drag for more than 5mins.because of the amount of HP they have.
Well it apparently has to be possible in some way. I see the guy who made the dungeons try to defend his views on the update so clearly he must have made some sort of secret that some people have figured out. The only reason I do these dungeons is for the armor skins. All the crafted ones look pretty terrible and the dungeon ones are the only ones that look good. I’d get the cultural ones, but I don’t have 100 gold for armor skins.

did it not occur to you that he was lying?
I agree with everything that’s been said…
The way we did it was pull the 1st group of mobs and wipe them. Then push hard through the rest of the mobs down the middle path. We had one person dedicated to clearing the flames while the other four cleared. 2 GS/Rifle/Shout Heal Warriors, 1 Guardian, 1 Elem, 1 Necro.
It took us 6 resets of the idiot AI before we managed to push through without him being fullkitten
We tried something similar but every time Magg died by running like an idiot into the lava, the monsters would simply respawn. Basically you eventually lucked out and got through?
It honestly felt like pure dumb luck when we finally got him through.
Edit> Trying a 2nd run now to see if we can do it again on the first try.
After watching him run backwards dozens of times, sometimes to go attack the insanely fast respawning mobs, sometimes for no reason at all, we finally got him to the end. Then he dashed straight back to the beginning, even though there were no mobs in sight and he had a perfectly clear, fire-free path to us at the objective. Only reason we got through was because later on he just bugged out and teleported to the end for some reason.
Pretty frustrating experience despite being in one of the better pugs you could possibly ask for. I wanted to get the gloves and boots but now I don’t really care at all.
Current we failed on 1st attempt because of a…..failure by one person on our team being stupid. So now we are watching Magg leeroy to the spot he died on before and stand there to die over and over…
Way to QA ArenaNet……..
The way we do it is by charging 5 of us to magmachite and magg will die in the middle, just in range for the elementalist to rezz him near the magmachite…
Totaly defeat the purpose of the game designer to escort magg by clearing the mob…as the mob spawn timer is BS !! and also Magg always aggro the mob few feet behind the last player… so endless cycle of mob killing and respawn at the same spot can’t move an inch…..
