It’s sad that this game is brand new, and did so well, and now its taking such a dark path. Sure, the dungeons were hard at first. People started to figure it out. Fair enough. Then they start speed-running it. Personally, thats fine. I’m not hardcore. never will be, despite my attempts. The patch. I had finally started dungeoning. now the difficulty is so high, I run with a P.U.G. and we can’t take it because theres no coordination. worse still, the rewards aren’t worth my time. I’m barely scrapping by when we wipe a few times at a 10s repair cost per dungeon. I have no incentive to go back and help my friends who are lower level than me. I’m 80. I Did heart quests to 80. this is my way. I’m also 400JC. With this, making money is gone. theres no money to be had in the game. I’m scared for the market, in all honestly. And finally, the Cover-Up. I know there was around 6000+ Posts telling the GM’s precisely what they did wrong. Removing them is wrong. You don’t build a forum, let people that compliment your game post, and then remove the ones that diss it. You know this is true. At this point, me, and a million+ others are thinking you’re doing this on purpose. When we quit, were getting a refund. If we can’t, we’ll never return. Quite frankly, I never played the first game. I never really got into it. my friends were into the idea of Guild Wars 2, and I bought it without a second thought. If this is the type of people you are, Arena.net, I will never support a game of yours again. You also rolled back my friends crafting for no reason. he lost 120 levels in leathercrafting.

I leave you with this. Will you destroy your own company, or resolve the issue? Fixing something by Breaking it further is not fixing it. The fact you truly believe THIS is fixed means you didn’t actually play the dungeons. Sorrow’s Embrace is almost incompletable in a pug, AC Is quite hard due to people being inexperienced, Citadel of Flames is broken at the Bomb part, and the NPC freezes and causes you to reset the entire dungeon. This is just parts of the problem. I get 1-shotted quite often from enemies, and I’m a tanky-type. Tell me, what should I do about this? If you delete this, I will leave the game, and never return. This isn’t a threat, its a promise.

Really you did heart quests to 80? There are so many things wrong with just that 1 statement not sure where to start.

Heart quests, Crafting, WvWvW, i tried a little bit of everything except dungeons. lotsa dynamic events, too. Regardless, the way I play isn’t the issue here, stay on subject or leave the thread please.

I did the same. And always wondered how people could get to 80 that fast. I never thought to even try dungeons because I assumed – naturally – that the exp wouldnt be any better.

While I agree with most of what you said .. but then you went “I get 1-shotted quite often from enemies, and I’m a tanky-type” … losing all credibility in my book by making such a false statement.

When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

I am on the same boat, I was really excited to do dungeons after I finally hit 30, got into AC with a PUG, were more dead than alive…and I decided not to enter a dungeon anymore, since I didnt get any useful loot (random stuff is cool), got a huge repair bill, wasted time dying…and got bored/irritated out of my pants….basically…I went into AC and the only thing I gained from it was a repair bill, frustration and wasted time. If that was your intended design, then gratz, you achieved it, but I doubt you wanted to design something that players would avoid.

If you played CM Story, the missiles WILL one shot you, even as an 80 tanky type. Don’t ask me, its not the only one, its just the most prominent one, from the golem after the investigation. This may have been fixed, but it doesn’t resolve the rest of the many problems.

PS: Theres many instances where you can just die instantly outta no where, with no obvious sign, Dots, undodgable boss attacks, and god-forbid if you’re melee in any of these instances…

I’d like a response as to my first query from a GM. what are you guys thinking? The other threads say ‘this is how were doing it, end of discussion’ but the simple fact is, you’ve broken the game, told us its working and also claim this isn’t supposed to be a grindfest. I’d like to hear your reply. I’ll wait.

1. If by cover-up you mean stickied at the top of the forum…
2. You probably didn’t notice the part where they said the rewards are currently broken. 3. SE wasn’t made harder.

This posts make me smile…seriously.

“We went in our first dungeon and died all at the first mobs!! BAD Anet..you suck”

Come on guys…it’s totally NORMAL to have problems in your first run..
This game is not about rotation or stat, it’s about skill. Evrey death you get is experience that DOESN’T fill your yellow bar, but you must collect it in your head.

At our (me and my guild mate) first attempt of AC story, we cleared in 1:45 minutes.
Now we can clear it with 50 minutes.
At first time in the new CM, we cleared in 1 hour and lots of horrible death while pushed by fighter or bombs. Now we clear in 30 min.

Stop whinning, admit that you’re not the perfect gamer and you need some time to get used to the difficult.

Finally. I made AC first time at lvl 60. You can level to 80 only with heartquest. Also you can level to 80 only doing dungeons! Anet wants you to take the perfect route you wish/prefer to get to 80 (even crafting. Really, you make lots of exp with crafting!!)
