Guild Wars 2

Each day when you finish a unique path for any explorable or story dungeon, you’ll receive a bonus reward for completion—1 to 3 gold for explorable dungeons depending on their length and difficulty, 50 silver for story dungeons. Guaranteed coin rewards that previously dropped from bosses in dungeons have been removed in lieu of these new rewards for dungeon completion; all other drops off of bosses have not been changed. Now you have even more incentive for braving the hazards of the dungeons of Tyria!

So I used to dislike skipping bosses such as Kholer, because I always thought that the ~2 mins you spent on him was well worth the silver he dropped. But now that the silver drops are removed, is Anet encouraging skipping bosses once more?

What do you guys think.

its too early to tell. they have yet to implement the new system into the game. once we know a bit more what the rewards will be, it will be easier to answer whats worth skipping or not.

One possibility for the quantity of end chest rewards could be based on how much of the dungeon path content you complete i.e. skipping kholer and/or troll will net you less end rewards than a path clear with him and troll killed.

I would love a system like that, actually. Great idea. But I highly doubt it’s the way they implemented it.

Kohler’s a Legendary rank mob.
Doesn’t that mean he’s subject to the new Champion rewards system?

I think my Warrior has a crush on you. She’s always calling out your name in combat :/

Ugh I hope not. Not because I don’t like that system but because of all the whining that will generate. “why are you punishing us for being good/speedrun/…/whatever” and “this is forcing us to kill everything” among other things.

The new boxes dropped by the champions is supposed to be the main draw. Especially since they contain exclusive skins …

Well, good speed runners can master killing any boss efficiently. So, depending on type of system implementation, the money:time ratio could end up favoring killing extra bosses instead of skipping them.

Something like AC p3 (below is just pure speculation of course):

1 gold for completing path
20 silver for killing kholer, but I can imagine being killed easily under a min if in optimized group
20 silver for killing troll, similar but a bit longer, let’s just say 90 secs.

So around 2-3 mins extra you get 40 silver. Not bad honestly.

What this guys says.

Kohler was always optional, that’s why he wasn’t made a requirement in the dungeon progression.
