Guild Wars 2

There has always been 10-20 people outside of AC and CM until that new patch hit, now there is less than 5 and i have no idea why. Do the running a chain twice in a row include story mode? This new patch seems to have made dungeons less attractive and in turn ruined me getting into them.

Mhmm, was in Plains of Ashford not even 15 minutes ago, and the amount of LFGs on map chat was at a minimal. People just aren’t interested in running dungeons at the moment.

A patch ‘fixed’ the dungeons. Not worth touching them at the moment.

People call it hard, but there’s nothing hard about zerg rushing back from cheap, one shot deaths made by mobs standing 15 feet away facing in the opposite direction.

Dungeons just aren’t fun at the moment. There’s nothing difficult about them, they’re just bad right now. Hopefully they will be fixed, but right now they’re simply not worth traveling to much less repairing from.

I only hear people asking to do AC, nothing else. Which is a real shame because I haven’t even done Sorrows Embrace yet, and I’ve been lv80 for a week. I can’t find anyone.

Same problem I can’t find anyone running dungeons, sick of teleporting and it costing me tons of silver to only here crickets in the zones I go where the dungeons are. Man they totally ruined this game with one patch. No more dungeons at all. All we got left is boring solo play or rift zerg events.

Why use money to teleport? Just use the heart of the mists to teleport to lion’s arch and from there it’s fairly easy to get to most of the dungeons. Or alternatively walk and enjoy the world that’s what I do, I rarely use waypoints.

i dont see myself running alot of dungeons any time soon, limited to having to grind on one character i might end up droping dont seem apealing + if they all like arah i think ill pass and just do what anet wants and thats WvWvW :S

I doubt that saving 3 silver is going to make the dungeons less terrible.

When guesting works i’m sure that there’ll be a sub forum somewhere where people who enjoy dungeons for the fun and not some reward will put their account names to be available to /w sometimes for runs.

Well, they should be fixing rewards this coming Monday, so there will, hopefully, be more players to run dungeons with.

I’m sure there are still people who LOVE doing dungeons for little to no reward at all for the content, but clearly, there are not enough to satisfy other people who are not as… purist? Is that the word that’s least offensive?

Now if you could get the same purists to run the dungeon 50+ times with people who are grinding dungeons for the armor set reward, I’m sure that would be useful to people currently.

Rewards are not the entire issue here in my opinion. I personally enjoy pugging through CM story and ever sinse the increased difficulty from the new patch it’s been impossible. It’s been like: get to first trash mob then die and rinse/repeat until trash is dead etc.. etc.. This is very demoralizing and tedious so I’ve completely lost interest and I think that many have followed suit for the same reason.

Anyway, I have a new machine ordered and on it’s way. BF3 looks really fun and I’m curious to see how it looks and runs with an Ivy Bridge I7 and GeForce GTX 660. Perhaps I’ll come back and check in periodically to see if ArenaNet eventually come to their senses.

People get discouraged when trash mobs take ages to drop and the loot isn’t that good aside from tokens you will mostly be seeing white/blues from chests unless you have stacked magic find. Fights generally turn into a waypoint rush before the mobs reset. Your average pug doesn’t want to deal with this. I can’t stand doing dungeons with pugs you always got people that go afk and then those who never want to ress downed players thinking they can take on a boss/mob by themselves and cant be bothered to spend 2 seconds to ress a downed player

There are probably less people outside CM as it’s been made ridiculously hard and, at the same time, the rewards are less. So you spend an eternity in there, getting smashed, epic repair bills… for nothing. Who would wait around, lining up for that nonsense?
