Guild Wars 2

And we can’t do it atm because no one can open…I think it is time to get rid of the contested dungeon entrances.

It was honestly only neat the first time, and it is just an annoyance ever since. Not to mention people just bypass it anyways with guesting (which no one in my group can unfortunately do).

Get rid of it ArenaNet. Neat concept but it just didn’t work.

You could have all guested to one server and opened it together pretty quickly. I realize it’s not terribly convenient, but you could have done it.

I have no problem with it other than for how soon after ones like CoF get re-contested. Just can’t be bothered. The reward for the time and effort spent isn’t even remotely close to worthwhile imo.

Hardest part of CoF is opening it.

No one could guest, everyone in group used their guest passes to either open other dungeons or just used them for whatever. Group disbanded.

Did anyone in your party even attempt to complete the event chain to open the dungeon?

Seems a bit silly if you ask me. I can analogize your predicament with a starving man refusing to pick up a sandwich because he didn’t want to move his hands… and then getting mad at the person who made the sandwich…

The event chain can take 20-30 minutes and not everyone has the time, or patience, to do that.

That’s one hell of an out of context analogy closer to if he had said something along the lines of “there’s no waypoint close to the instance portal” If you factor the difference in situations its more like a starving man refusing to pick up a sandwich because is past 4 flaming hoops above a lake full of hungry sharks.

That or its just something I really wanted to say.

No one to blame but yourself then.

This game sure went down the drain fast… 6 months ago a locked dungeon was never a problem, at least 2 or 3 parties were present at all times (not talking about people leaving because I don’t really think that’s the case). This mentality of I want it now and I want it for free sure is strong these days.
It’s such a shame

Check the side bar for instance lockouts. Guest, done easypeesy.

I’m pretty sure the OP used a site to see if any servers had it open. The issue was that none of them could guest to an open server.

Ah that makes sense. Still I know it took me awhile to find a site so figured i’s post it just in case
