The death of CoF farming in 1 week
You know, CoE is still ridiculously hard for non “optimized”(i use this word carefully) groups, do you?
Whenever i pug, which is almost all the time, it’s usually just me and sometimes another guy alive at CoE and the run ends up taking a long time.
Though i kind of agree with you. Whenever i do this dungeon with a group of (full berserker geared)friends, it feels like the easiest dungeon in the game.
Let’s just hope Arena-Net doesn’t kitten up the new reward systems. Especially for (high level) Fractals.
NemesisMMNecro [rT] – Trans-Transsylvanian RPer EU
and then the game dies because flippers have thousands golds…..and because normal players (even non war/mez/guards) are unable to get gold.
P.S: fotm may give you 30 silvers for a 1,5 hours lvl 48 run…how worse can it be?
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
Will the end-dungeon reward be account based or character based though. This could stuff with people who have multiple alts.
This change came down much quicker than I thought it would, and 3 gold is triple what I figured the max reward would be. I’m still really curious how they’ll rank the dungeons, since organized groups can coast through stuff that gives pugs a lot of trouble. But still, even with just a gold, it’ll be worth running the easy paths once a day.
Will be able to make 4 gold for the first hour easy. Lots of easy, quick paths out there.
Just wonder if this is per account or per character.

‘’ Each day when you finish a unique path for any explorable or story dungeon, you’ll receive a bonus reward for completion ’’
‘’ Each day ’’ looks like per Account to me
I kind of understand if it is account bound, but that is sad. Currently you can run a path with all your ALTs for max rewards at least once a day.
Can’t wait. doing the fastest path of each dungeon is much more fun than doing the same dungeon over and over.
Time for the super ereet cof farmers to re-watch some of Strife’s videos so they can learn some other dungeons.
Let the QQ begin.
Don’t know if i am more on the “don’t care” or “about time” side.
Anyway:

+1.
Most used: Guard/Mes/War/Nec/Ele.
Yes, i use 5 chars at time. Because REASONS.
Just a little thing that GW2 players seems not to understand:
Its not that now you can t get rewards by playing different things.
Seems people have to be told what to do to enjoy and have things they don t enjoy to be removed from Others.
This is getting us LESS freedom, without adding anything probably.
How much do you bet that overall gold rewards will be lower for ANY profession? (excluding market flippers)
How much do you bet speedrunners wars will just change pattern and still get huge advantage over Others?
—————————————
Saw new data.
1-3 G guaranteed per run seems balanced ._.
Unless they nerf dungeons to be longer.
I bet they will add dredges to every dungeon

It’s about time, and it came quicker than I expected; a good surprise. Now my problem is finding people I can speed run with.
We want dredges!
Wait, do we?
@OP: I mostlikely won’t even notice it :/
Will the end-dungeon reward be account based or character based though. This could stuff with people who have multiple alts.
If you have multiple ults you may as well uninstall now. ArenaNet has been systematically waging war against alts with almost every single patch since launch.
why?
will token rewards change?
I think its fair that the advantage of alts is choosing the best for each situation..
I m more concerned with new ascended stuff for alts than reward system.
But if they nerf tokens for alts then getting dungeon skins will be hard.

I am sad…..because I levelled a warrior just for cof geared him up in full exotics and an ascended amulet with a gilded infusion……
BUT I GOT MY PRECURSOR YESTERDAY!!!
my mains an engineer and quite frankly I am looking forward to getting my warrior into other dungeons and even now doing dungeons on my engineer or necro or thief.
All I can say to you guys who didn’t quite reach your money goals or used this for your main source of income is you’ve got to see the silver lining. Now you get to leave those claustrophobic flame legion halls into the daylight and go break all the other dungeons in the game. ANet knows not what forces they have unleashed unto the world XD.
Can you imagine if the dungeon reward buff came without the wallet? People would be building stacks of random dungeon tokens and running out of space at a dramatic rate.
Hallelujah!
and something for 15 characters.
Yeah, will be account bound. And Any dungeon is easy once you learn mechanics. The rich will get richer. If you can’t see that you are blind or being willfully ig’nant.
All the bad players that only do cof are about to spill out into the other dungeons
I hope they all go to CoE, crash the lodestone prices
I don’t think they can handle coe, you have to actually dodge things in coe
I hope they all go to CoE, crash the lodestone prices
this would certainly be nice
I hope they all go to CoE, crash the lodestone prices
Yep, arah has only pitiful piles.
The “Per day” thing really isn’t more time-gated, daily BS.
Because dailies are fun, original and new
Remember when they said GW2 was gonna change the mmo world? xD
To the OP,it was just on time if you ask me.The farmers may start doing other dungeons now.
At-least Anet is giving everyone time to farm it one last time for those who want to. They could have done what they had done to previous farms like lyssa and the skalks and nuked it by stealth. I for one am glad I have some time to run it before its nerfed. Which I think Im gonna go do 15 times this week
Overall tho I’m actually quite happy with where Anet is taking the game with champ rewards and dungeon rewards. I now have more of incentive to run dungeons for something other then tokens (money and champ drops) and champ rewards will open up new money making areas and hopefully bring life back to place’s that have been empty for awhile. Think temple runs in Orr or the ulgoth chain in the hinterlands where one can bump into 7 or 8 champs at a time. I think with these done the only thing that needs to be improved dungeon wise now is to stop dungeons closing down if the party leader leaves. Do that and I think a lot of people will be happy
All the bad players that only do cof are about to spill out into the other dungeons
No, they’ll just stop running dungeons completely and whine about it on the forums.
I find your lack of belief that this will backfire spectacularly quite disturbing.

This. CoF P1 farmers are just that, farmers. If running variety of dungeon paths doesn’t yield profit, they’ll just go somewhere else.
Whatever. It got old anyway.
So much people happy to see that the low skilled warriors will be angry next week .
I can only be sad for them when they will notice that a zerker warrior used by a monkey is gold even in fotm 48 and arah.
(obviously a skilled warrior is even better but not by much…the class has a really low skill ceiling and floor in PvE ====> imho).

You’re talking about me? A pretty blonde warrior doesn’t know where to put a banner? And what is 2 by the way? Oh yeah. I got Dusk too. Jealous much?

See look how biased the game is for warriors! All you have to do is login on warrior and precursors drop like rain!
That’s actually disturbing. I run with 2 warriors and they get all loot while we get tiny fractions of that. For example, where warriors get 1 exotic, handful of lodestones and 7-8 rares, non-warrior party members get 4-5 rares on the lucky day.

Oh snap.
True CoF farmers aren’t really dungeon runners so it’s unlikely they’ll splurge into other dungeons. Once they find themselves constantly wiping in CoE 1, 2, and 3 they’ll just give up and either quit the game or look for that fabled farming spot. I’m not defending them by any means but it’s a pretty sad situation no matter what goes down. We tend to look down on farmers in game and in real life. You know, people that grow crops and such. We never think about getting them help though even though we know they need it. I mean the emotional kind; in their current mental state it’s hard to tell what they’ll actually do.
