Guild Wars 2

I’ll admit off the bat the idea of the type of dungeons Anet has used I like a lot. That being said I offer a few ideas for fixng them that I hope will be considered.

1) Go back to the idea of tokens off of each boss. This has turned a lot of runs into jump to the end and ignore everything thats not needed.

2) Make trash well trash.. Almost all the fightings including boss just take longer then need be.

3) I think the idea of 80s being down leveled to be able to work with and help others is great. However the current system is not cappng stats correctly. People “want all 80” groups for the reason or even perception that a 35 in good gear for AC as an example isn’t an equal. If a charcter is the max level or higher they need to be equal to that 80.

4) Rewards and drops need to be better for whatever level you are. The only current point for these now is tokens or exp. It makes speed running the normal way of doing them.

3) They only want 80’s because they have the trait points to spend and the abilities to go along with them as opposed to a level 35 who is statistically capable of doing the dungeon just fine but it’s easier with 80’s.

As someone who runs dungeons in their entirety almost everyday with friends and reaching for prestige – it’s very disheartening seeing farming guilds use exploits or skip half of a dungeon and be just as or more rewarded than my friends and I.

It also robs the prestige from gear. Having CoF gear means nothing to us thanks to the speedruns not too long ago and Arah gear doesn’t mean as much as it should thanks to the shard farming and players skipping half the content.

It’s a hard thing to manage and I really have no ideas on how to deal with it unless you linked rewards to the dungeon events and placed a DR on those instead of the run itself somehow. Putting rewards at the end encourages players to skip content and spreading it out allows players to farm easy bosses, reset, rinse/repeat.

I said this from the start and I say it again. Maxed out gear should be available to a cost of about 4-5 gold for an entire set + armor, and dungeon pieces should cost something like 1500 tokens, just like it was in GW1.

However, I don’t agree with your statement that skipping mobs should be less rewarding. I do believe that some changes need to be made so that it is harder to run past mobs with a disorganized group.

most of these issues will be fixed when the loot patch hits, w/e it’s ready.

they already said the Halloween patch is too soon for them to test it out, so it’s most likely coming in november.
