Story or Explorable ?

Woops sorry! Explorable mode!

CoF
SE
CM
HotW
AC
TA
CoE
Arah

Citadel of Flame
Ascalonian Catacombs
Twilight Arbor
Sorrow’s Embrace
Honor of the Waves
Crucible of Eternity
Caudecus’s Manor
The Ruined City of Arah

I haven’t done AC since the patch, Ive heard its harder now. Also, Im more of a FoTM player.

Eh okay.

Not going to do by paths cause that’d be insane but.

Arah
CoE
CM
SE
HoTW cause i hate underwater combat
AC too buggy
CoF if only for being exploded alot
TA Perm poison spam isnt fun

noticed i read the title wrong edited, had to relist them.

These are solely my opinion based on not speed running. Haven’t run Arah post patch due to the event chain being bugged on my server so i cannot tell if its worse with the changes to Risen or not.

Citadel of Flames
Ascalon Catacombs
Honor of the Waves

I think the sheer amount of people running CoF speaks on what the players really want in a dungeon. Instead of changing CoF, I say all other dungeons should be bumped up to CoF path 1 and 2 standards so that people would run the other dungeons more. Of course, they can also increase the rewards from the more difficult dungeons as incentive.

1-Cof
2-Ta
3-Ac
4-Coe
5-Cm
6-Se
7-Hotw
8-Arah

well thats my opinion from 1(eazy’est) to 8(hardest) ^^
-Ac was normaly@2 but since the patch Ta is even eazy’er then Ac so ^^
-Cof has alwayz bean a walk in the park
-Cm can be quite messed up (i hate bandits lol)
-Coe is realy eazy guyz !
-Hotw becauze there so boring , long and crazy healt pools+ the underwater suxx
-and arah becauze it just is the most anoying,difficult one so far , period ^^

cheerz guyz ^^

CoF – all 3 paths are cake
HoTW – the paths are cake, they’re long, but still easy
AC – still one of the easiest dungeons due to being level 35
SE (not path 2) – path 1 and 3 are quick and easy. Hell you only have to kill literally 5 dredge in path 3.
TA – mostly easy, but can trip a party up on some bosses, even on the easier paths
CM – difficult. Easiest path is probably path 2 (assuming you get creative with the gate event) Still not something many players enjoy
CoE – long, boring, boss is hard for lots of players
SE (path 2) – long, boring, so much horrific trash, and the final boss is kind of a pain
Arah – its arah. though honestly I consider paths 3,2 and 1 to be fairly easy with a good team. They’re all sub hour runs (path 1 is sub 30 minutes if you’re really good) path 4 on the other hand…

Easy:

Everything

Difficult:

Nothing.

..legacy players want hard mode back.

Just curious as to what everyone’s opinion is…

Here are they all level order

Ascalonian Catacombs
Caudecus’s Manor
Twilight Arbor
Sorrow’s Embrace
Citadel of Flam
Honor of the Waves
Crucible of Eternity
The Ruined City of Arah

Different players, different group compositions will rate those differently. Totally based on perception… so I would expect the easy – medium ones to not have general consensus, and would expect Arah to be positioned as hardest (which would also include the time it takes to run as one of the factors.)

Be interesting to compare ranking on (perceived) difficulty versus which ones people actually enjoy. Easy ones often are not the ones that are the most fun.

Our 4-man group puts CM – HoW- TA in the same moderately easy bucket, HoW being easiest for us if we are forced to pick. [edit] Oops, forgot AC.

CoF (that one particularly sticky 5-man requirement makes us sad), Sorrow’s and CoE fall in the middle for us.

And we aren’t at Arah yet. Don’t even know if it’s possible for us. Something to aim for though. We don’t use spoilers and are still working on group combinations.

Looking forward to seeing results on thread.

Nothing is particularly hard, as long as you have a group that can dodge it’s just a walk in the park.

ANet judges difficulty by how many instagibs/permaknockdown/etc. they can throw in /cringe

I’d like more prolonged fights with mechanics other than “DPS that guy and don’t get hit!” to truly be challenged, but of course the rewards would be the exact same as CoF p1 so we all know what dungeon we would still be running.

Damage is too high all across the board imo. The magic of having no healers. What I wouldn’t do to have my WoH heal/prot monk in the game to actually make things interesting…

While there are some differences (CoF1, Arah) most of the difficulty comes from the party you are running with.
All are easy if you know what you are doing and all are hard if you are clueless.

I aggre mostly with Wethospu ^^

I run Arah, CoE all the time… I find Arah fun and CoE just to help friends, they feel easy. On the other end AC is harder for me. Both because I don’t know the dungeon well and because I just simply hate it…

My kitten is only large til I shave it.

What I posted was simply the truth, not trying to ruffle feathers. In comparison to gw1, there are no difficult dungeons in gw2. That’s just reality.

AC
TA
HoTW
CoF
SE
CoE
CM
RCoA

Based on all paths, I still think CM is the hardest dungeon barring Arah. Just so many rifles.

Arah
CoF
AC
HoTW
SE
TA
CoE
CM

CM is the hardest by far ! When i finish it for DM title i said i will not enter it again ever ! Arah is the easiest after all the nerfs , too many “casual” players complaining about lupicus and simin strenght . So nerfed down that i don’t wear my DM title anymore , got no point !

People still think that CoE is hard? Since they nerfed CoE it’s gotten even easier. As long as you can dodge correctly then CoE is a piece of cake. But that’s why people think it’s hard, your average pug doesn’t know how to dodge. Then their are groups that farm it and do all the paths in one which makes it even easier!

But if I had to make a list it would look something like this:

CoF
AC
CoE
HoTW
TA
SE
CM
Arah

cof
ac
hotw
ta
cm

i haven’t bothered to do the other ones.

“Zerk warrior only babby MLG 10 minute run” -tier:
CoF 1, SE 1

“I run these regularly” -tier:
CoF 2+3
CoE 1+2+3
SE 3

“Super daze, fear and knockback evasion safari”-tier:
AC 1+2+3

“Gotta go fast”-tier
TA 1+2+3

“H-hey guys c-can we do this path too? No? O-okay ;_;”-tier
SE 2

“Please die already”-tier
HotW 1+2+3

“I had no idea what was going on so I just facerolled, I don’t even remember what paths I did” -tier
CM

“I was carried, lel” -tier
Arah

There were hard dungeons in GW1?

And on topic:

Arah (hardest dungeon overall)
CoE (hard dungeon until you learn the tricks, after that not so much)
CM (I find it pretty hard for its low level)
SE (now it’s easier than it used be, but still not very hard)
HotW (I hate it because it’s long, not because it’s hard)
AC (Pretty easy, I haven’t done it after patch though)
TA (skip everything, afk bosses)
CoF (Easiest dungeon in the game)

1. Arah
2. CoE
3. CM
4. SE
5. HoTW
6. AC
7. TA
8. CoF

dani.1956:

Arah is the easiest after all the nerfs , too many “casual” players complaining about lupicus and simin strenght . So nerfed down that i don’t wear my DM title anymore , got no point !

Lup was never nerfed but he is a bit twitchy post patch and doing some weird things. Simin yes big nerf but it wasn’t that he was a difficult boss it was more that people took bad groups with weak dps i.e. condition dmg spec’s and people not wearing zerker gear on a boss that they really needed to.

If you have no clue what you’re doing:

SE
CoF
HotW
AC
TA
Arah
CoE
CM

If you know what you’re doing:

Arah
CM
TA
AC
others.

The easiest Dungeon overall if you already have it done once: Arah Path 4
But actually there really isn’t any dungeon which you can’t do brainafk with an experienced group.
