Guild Wars 2

Dolan.3071:

I’m going to be ignorantly optimistic and hope that snafu is getting the permanent spiders fixed while it’s unavailable. Then will be returned as the fourth path/Scarlet’s replacement.

maybe tafu will become a fractal

The path is pretty amazing tbh, so I don’t mind it replacing the previous TAFU. Since we can assume that the new path is only here for a month though, I expect things to return to normal afterwards.

Not enough dredge.

I log back just once just to see this path.. the kitten I have to put up with.. screenshot taken while rezzing a full dead after 5 wipes with people going max possible range, not cleaning a single oil spill and never avoiding the attacks from the ooze which has like a 10 hour build up before it hits anyone..

Certainly the LFG tool completely killed pug quality. I don’t remember getting a spirit weapon guardian on gw2lfg for months.

The dungeon doesn’t seem overly bad, but not that great either so far. The idiotic pugs who complained about TAF/U will stop doing TA altogether I bet because while this path isn’t harder, it requires more coordination with is way too much to ask for, particularly on European servers with deaf mutes who join your party not speaking a single word of English.

spirit weapon guardian LOL

instead of spawning spiders the boss now spawns clown cars

Why did you whiten his name? I’d like to chat with him.

That’s probably why. /joke

Anyway, i didn’t even dare try this out with pugs.

Next patch:

“Hey folks, we figured out that Guild Wars 2 was to hard the way it is, so we removed it and replaced it with GuildWars Tetris. It’s like normal Tetris, but the blocks fall at half the speed to make it easier, you cannot speed them up since we want you to get the full GWTetris experience and you have to pay gems for the I-blocks.

Have Fun!"

Okay, srsly, the dungeon is cool, but I don’t understand why they had to remove tafu, too…

I got enough infraction as it is (from posting screenshots with names).

God, this lfg tool is the worst thing known to mankind. It’s my first time using it I already got enough cancer to cover all my organs. It is definitely true that while the people who were on gw2lfg weren’t always up to par, there is just no comparison between the braindeadness I’m witnessing here and this tool audience.

I just saw a rifle warrior let the ooze hug him for 4 seconds, then eat the 90% health hit without moving even once, and only started moving once he got hit. zz
I’m not asking for elite players when I pug, but is it too much to ask for players who got a kittening pulse ? are they even alive? human? or bots?

You should never use lfg before dulfy completes a new guide. And even then it’s risky enough.

Incorrect. The new path is permanent.

I don’t even like the new path. TAFU was honestly better.

I like some of the new path. But TAFU was too good to be removed. No more vevina and husk makes me sad.

The only thing truly wrong with the path (besides being too long time-wise for the reward) is the tetris puzzle thing with the electrified floor. The hologram you have to lure to the door almost always aggros on the wrong person and it takes way longer than it should to finish simply due to bad AI.

Solution for Anet: stop making encounters that rely on the NPC ai to work, or enemy mob ai to work. since your ai sucks, it makes any ai reliant encounter inherently frustrating.

Please do the same to Arah story.

yup everything else in the dungeon is decently fresh and a step up in terms of design. They still have a ways to go to make a “good” dungeon but this is an acceptable path.

+2

Before they ever made a single Event … or Mechanic … or what have you …. that rides entirely on NPC participation; they should have invested some real Programming into giving players ways to OVERRIDE the bad AI. This goes double for Dynamic Events out in the open world where NPC’s constantly get stuck or glitched.

I’m not even going to get started on ranger pets or how badly this is holding them back from making more engaging and interactive dungeons and Events.

I am going to assume that his Bow of Truth is on cooldown.

Apparently my run on that godkitten thing is glitched, we got to the last room, no eletricity, no mobs, and the generators are taking forever to kill. Ahhhhh, anet coding is sooooo gooooood. I want my spider summoning oak back.

I can’t lie and pretend I didn’t enjoy this instance quite a lot because I did, but almost every mechanic in the path is designed as a PUG-buster (whoever earlier in the thread that noted you had better open the instance yourself since there’ll be rage quits galore was rather astute).

It could just be the ‘new’ factor but it was also rather long, as with almost all of the paths it doesn’t seem at all in sync with the prescribed rewards.

the game doesn’t need trinity, the action-rpg-ish nature of the combat is perfectly fine. But really, all non-power gear should just be taken out of PvE. Leave in Soldier, Knight, and Zerk (obv), and rename them all to line up with an “adept/master/grandmaster” idea that maybe you should start in PTV at a bare minimum while you’re learning how to play, then perhaps Knight’s once you’re starting to get good, eventually graduating to Zerk.

Also, instanced content should just straight up be harder, with the possibility of actual failure. That’s why we loved TAFU so much, because once the spider spawn bug happened it became a straight up pug-buster, even worse than Lupicus (maybe on par with pre-nerf Simin).

If I was in Colin’s position my number one priority would be to beat the horrible idea of out players’ heads that they should be entitle to play the kittentiest builds possible and still complete instances. Also of course I’d can the Living Story bullkitten.

Why would you ever want to use PVT?
Also, Rabid and Rampagers are usually better than PVT or even Knights.

Knights/PVT has its uses, but they’re pretty niche and mostly just abusing a gimic.

Dub.1273:

I wouldn’t (now), but if I had to choose between a know-nothing pug in Cleric’s or PVT, I’d choose PVT. PVT gear is training wheels, but at least it’s on the path to riding a bike, unlike Clerics, Magi, Shaman, etc. Don’t be obtuse.

broadicea y u leave gw2

just think, as bad as most pugs are, you would have been one of those few guys who left people thinking “hmmm, that was a smooth run” (i wonder why, probably my cleric heal ranger lol)

I must say, pugs are still a roulette.

Today had a streak of surprisingly good groups (for a pug expectation ofc).

Yesterday i ragequitted the “farming easy DG paths” halfway.

Saw a dagger warhorn necro in coe today. :O

probably won’t unless it gets great reviews, I don’t like subscription games. I’ve been getting back into D3 since the big updates are coming early next year.

Well there kinda is a solution to that, send 2 people to stand on the spot near the spawn, have the one it aggros go…

I gave the game away to my son so I need to get him another copy. My Battle tag is ToothFairy#1190. I’m also waiting for the release of Bungie’s Destiny.
