Guild Wars 2

We don’t need any new kind of reward to try to get us into 5 man pug dungeons. You are wasting your time and my money. What we need is someone to listen to the vast majority of us and make the dungeons level to the number of toons that enter. So no matter how many players are doing the dungeon it’s just as hard. If it’s 1 or 50. Or if that is too complicated just give us Hero’s. That’s it, those are the only ways you are going get me in there. I will never do pug dungeons again.

Now saying that I realize I will never get my legendary weapon. I already have Dawn and most of the stuff except the crap you need in the dungeons. I hate when games do these things. They give you lofty goal then put in things you hate to do in order to achieve them. You knew it when you put them in and did it anyway to get people to do the dungeons. Which by the way are petty much empty now. I know I tried to get them and even though I went I could not do them alone and there was no one there to group with. So the only recourse is to try and be a super hero and solo a 5 man dungeon. Not for me. I left my subscription game and came to GW2 because of this mentality and that it was going to be a spontaneous dynamic game that did not rely on 5 man pug dungeons. SURPRISE! Well, that swords going to sit in my locker until Tyria freezes over.

So now that you realize that the Dungeons are empty you refuse to admit it and work out a reasonable solution that works for everyone. You appeal to everyone’s greed and promise more loot. To what end, oh yeah the dungeons are empty and you need to fill them.

I got no problem with this kind of fluff in the game as some players like it. Like the mini games and PvP, but that’s not for me, I want to spend my time adventuring in the world and grouping with players that are there. Ready to kill dragons and bandits attacking a bridge. That’s grouping. Not standing around hollering for a group. It’s just like in GW1 when you refused to put in an Auction House.

We?

Why don´t you want to pug a dungeon?

Dungeons are not empty. And you don’t have to pug. Take a guild group. Take me less than 2 minutes to find a group. Tokens are the easiest part of a legendary. /thread

Wait, you’re going for a Sunrise? So you just need AC tokens…

Dude that’s a super easy dungeon. Either LFG it or find a dungeon guild to do it with.

Or you could like.. I dunno.. Join a guild.

Seriously! There are active guilds advertising PvX all over LA. It’s not tough to get in one and most have people who are supportive of all skill levels if you’re apprehensive about your performance. Use a guild to strengthen your game, do what you can’t alone, and make pals to enjoy an MMO for what it’s supposed to be.

I’m pretty sure you can find a group who are willing to 4 man AC and help with the tokens, but then you wouldn’t have fully earned your legendary.

So let me get this right… the OP already has the stupid Dawn.
And has to then get 250 of every T6 there is. …and 250 of every Metal there is too.
And then 100g in Runestones too… plus a bunch of other expensive crap I’m forgetting.

And the biggest complaint here is having to run Catacombs 8 times for 500 lousy tokens?
I’ve already run Cats 20+ times just for Monk Runes & a Shortbow I almost NEVER USE.

..

I mean .. okay he makes a few good points about just needing Anet to LISTEN to us. Especially when it comes to huge Bugs that seem to take them weeks or months to fix when we already KNOW that Anet can completely recode & fix most problems in a couple days if it’s something they obviously CARE ABOUT (Like the Promenade Giant being farmed…they patched that sucker instantly almost).

We could definitely go for them listening to us when we say that most of the Boss encounters & Trash Elite mobs are just plain boring mindless DPS tests and we need more engagement there.

We’lll definitely need to them listen to us after Aug 6th to adjust their once-a-day Gold rewards for Path lengths b/c we all know they’re going to be off the mark there no matter how much Datamining they did before hand…

And we could definitely use better Difficulty scaling in them. Or atleast in Story mode… ..but after that point… ugh … Not really helping “Our” cause bro

I hardly ever pug dungeons, for obvious reasons.

Join a guild.

Why do precursor drops always reward the terrible players <__<

Because they will never be able to make them into Legendaries

how do i logic?

Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go to do look more like?

What’s wrong with wanting the dynamic world we were promised? The artificial world of instance dungeons is just that artificial. I have no problem with them being in the game but I like my social aspect of the game to be with people actually playing the game not segregating themselves into an instance and calling it social.

Ah you mean segregating themselves in an instance with 4 other people who they are then forced to communicate and cooperate with… Yeh, not very social at all.

Wukunlin.8461:

Because morons think simple hence infer that no one can read between the lines?

" You knew it when you put them in and did it anyway to get people to do the dungeons"

You knew what it took to get a legendary when you decide to try an make one. By the way, the dungeon part has to be one of the easiest if not THE EASIEST part of a legendary.

Anet is trying to try to please a wide variety of people, many of whom like different things and want different things. Explorable dungeons were aimed at coordinated groups of skilled players, not soloists. If you don’t want to do dungeons in a group, then dungeon content was not aimed at you.

So, you want ANet to apply a lot of programmer time and effort to balance these instances for any number of people up to five. OR program “heroes” a la GW. Heroes in dungeons would either have to be incredibly resilient — necessitating a bunch of balancing work --- or ANet would have to redesign NPC AI completely.

There is nothing wrong with wanting the “dynamic world we were promised.” However, revamping dungeons as you suggest would not give you a dynamic world. What it would do is expend a lot of developer time and effort that could be spent making the dungeons more fun or making new dungeons. Sorry, I can’t sign off on your suggestions.

The dungeon reqs are the easiest part of a legendary. Like the very most simple. Particularly your target. AC is a breeze. (But apparently Anet thinks it’s harder than CoE and SE. -.-)

I have literally…like literally never read a request on this…maybe you are on the wrong forums?

I have read requests for “raids”, which I think is an honest request and even requests for tiered difficultly of the dungeons…but dynamic scaling for dungeons?

I am afraid your small band on buddies does not equate to “vast majority”….sorry.

You can just buy the gold you need to buy Dawn and all the mats with IRL money. Things that require actually playing the game are by comparison much harder.

Such as World Completion.

Not even joking, I have about 75 charged lodes, a sigil and level 400 weaponsmithing to go until Sunrise and the thing that daunts me most is World Completion.

SO MUCH BOREDOM.

Vast majority as in 1 or 2 people?

And play with other people in an online game?! Heresy!

SteepledHat.1345:

It actually is. COE and SE are only more difficult than COF.

Flissy.4093:

It actually is. COE and SE are only more difficult than COF.

Yeah if someone did 500 CoF runs and 30 CoE/SE/TA/Arah runs than yeah, CoF is easyier.

You consider getting the Gift of Ascalon as the lofty goal to complete Sunrise? You can’t do one or two AC paths a day for less than a week?

I wish dungeon completion was weighted more heavily in Legendary completion because I find that to be by far the best part of the Legendary to acquire (I hate mind numbing grind).
