Guild Wars 2

_Dungeons

Dungeon rewards have been rebalanced to more accurately reflect the time needed to complete them. Experience and gold awarded for completing a dungeon have been reduced._

(From HoT patch notes)

Well we all know why they have not updated with the ‘new’ rewards…

Awaiting the mega tsumani of complains in …

Let’s just post the rewards here to get all the numbers in one place as people do paths, just to get all the numbers in one place.

Arah path 4 – 1 gold
SE path 1 – 35 silver (only heard from a friend)

Stompy.1387:

Arah path 4 – 1 gold
SE path 1 – 35 silver (only heard from a friend)

I wonder if anyone except sellers will run arah after that. Now its absolutely 100% waste of time.

I wonder if anyone except sellers will run arah after that. Now its absolutely 100% waste of time.

Based on the two data points so far, I guess Anet just heavy handedly cut gold rewards to 1/3. Will have to see though as the numbers come in

If CoF path 1 is worth more than 30 silver, I will be pleasantly surprised.

… Not that I’ll ever actually run it again, sadly.

Got these rewards in AC P1:

1. Event window after cutscene:
- 26 Silver
- 66.675 Experience Points
- 20 Tears

2. Chest:
- 50 Silver
- 40 Tears

Same for AC P3!

I think we can confirm a 66% reduction of the daily gold income in dungeons.

Of course the nerf was heavy handed. It was designed to deincentivize players from playing the unsupported dungeons and directing them to the supported content that is fractals.

I worried half a year ago that dungeons could become ghost towns after the expansion, and decided to try get as many dungeons path done as possible before unlocking dungeon skins became a PVP-only concept. Everyone said that this would not happen.

Well, here we are now and I will just bring up party search and see who was right… Every single dungeon room is empty except for arah, since there is people who want to do story.

Well this is saddening

Thanks for this info!

And meanwhile Silverwastes Chest [F]arm brainless activity still going strong.

Pathetic really

this pretty much… oh well :,(

I expected an 80% reduction.

It certainly not the “THEY REMOVED ALL THE GOLD” hysterical players like the one I got into a … discussion with about what the change would be. Insisted a dev confirmed it was all gone.

Behellagh you’re joking right? It’s a 66% reward reduction. That makes it below pretty much every other gold generating activity, even below casuals doing Gathering runs.

Still better than farming open world trash mobs, or is it really?

Vinceman.4572:

Got these rewards in AC P1:

Over 9000+ Tears

Fixed it for you mate

Well Anet did say they were going to collect players tears. I just never thought it would be dungeon players tears

i thought it would be lower as well, but still pretty much kills dungeons

It’s ridiculous. With the installation of map rewards and not nerfing event loots, farming in for example Cursed Shore is even better than before.

Gimme moar plox!

And inb4 1g to salvage 1 ring.
And I’ll have to merch them.
Well played.

Yeah it’s exactly that. lol

Have they increased the fractal gold reward?

What I have noticed up to know is you should get at least 40s from daily fotm lvl 30+, then it comes down to RNG to decide if you deserve the more profitable merchable junk. Did all fractal dailies, got tomes, a few extra gold and infusions. That’s it.

Thanks for ruining my favorite content of the game Dungeons. To me dungeons are very fun with great loot and to top it off you get a 1 gold bonus chest at the end. Now with the new patch no one wants to do dungeons with me and ruined my fun. Oh and the new Fractals don’t make sense. You get a chest and have to buy a key to where 80% of the time you get trash that ain’t worth the key you bought. I loved the way before you get 4 challenging fractal levels with good loot and at the end a daily reward for a possible ascended reward. I may got a reward 1 out of 4 times but it was worth the fight!

Now there is 0 gold at the end of FOTM as loot – GG anet

So you nerf dungeons + fractals..
Honestly what now is the point of this ‘end-game’ I have all the ascended boxs I could ever wish for – and there is 0 gold or anything of use being dropped.

You’ve just created another gold sink.

Glad I didn’t pay for HoT and, unless something changes, I probably won’t any time soon.

Man. So the economy guys dug their mitts in to fractals, and decided it should no longer earn money, but cost money.
Why?

Whats the items you can sell on the tp in fractals that is supposed to justify this?

le sigh…
Not really popular enough in any of my guilds to be selected for the raid or fractal groups and dungeons were the only content I really ran regularly. Kinda regretting wasting my money on the expansion just to have the content I enjoyed the most gutted and abandoned. Maybe it’s time to move on.

t6 mats are going to drop way down in price, which is a big indirect nerf to SW. Might not be a 66% nerf, but it will be a big one. So its not like dungeons are the only part of the game thats changing.

So, on the positive side, it isn’t quite a 66% nerf. The dungeons that gave 1 gold + 26 silver before now give 35 silver + 26 silver, which is closer to 50%.

On the negative side, dungeons give a lot less experience, which is what I thought was going to be their saving grace. This is quite annoying given that it is not what I thought was meant by “liquid rewards”.

On the very negative side, they paid absolutely no attention to our recommendations back when they were collecting them because they wanted to pretend they cared about dungeons. The one piece of feedback that was almost universally given was that Ascalonian Catacombs should be brought into line with other easy dungeons. This was ignored. You can count me among the cynical now.

The experience is quite huge as there are very little places in the core game to get xp. For just one mastery out of 4 in the legendary crafting you need around 1.3 million. Now when dungeons give you less than 100K…it’s pretty harsh.

Which was their intent. Except for those who want to do the story or gather some badges if they don’t PvP. It’s not the broken ATM that too many players have become used to abusing.

they also destroyed fractals though, and thats content they supposedly want people to play.
i did 3 fractals which is basically the daily and i got like 30 silver some blues and greens and 5 large bones.
i guess you need fractal mastery to get anything of value from fractals now

This makes me very sad, dungeons and fractals were basically the only thing I did in GW2 and now dungeons are 33% as profitable and fractals actually make you lose money because of all the kitten you have to buy to get the chest and salvage the rings. Atm I’m very angry and sad about these changes.

Well if this is what they have done to form/dungeons just wait for raids
it will be a 10g/open a box for the ring chance of something .

Probably closer to 45% if you consider tokens. Random number pulled out of nowhere because I don’t know the value of ecto or insignias.

Only 60 tears? I shed like 120

Shame, I didn’t mind the gold reduction because I thought I would still be able to do decent Tyria mastery training in dungeons, and get some tokens to MF exotics occasionally…

Had to remind myself that you probably meant the tokens.
