Guild Wars 2

I haven’t been into AC since the patch so I’m not going to say much about the change, apart from ask why AC was given a big revamp first. It seemed a fair dungeon since

- as the first dungeon it could be could be completed by dungeon newbies
- it was easily tough enough to wipe beginners
- it acted as a gateway towards earning exotic gear
- there was a good mix of traps, monsters, and some puzzly stuff
- any bugs were manageable, even the misses on graveling mounds
- it was very popular and run frequently with all classes
- it could be run by characters of the intended level
- all paths were run regularly
- the place had some character with ok storylines and some good voice acting
- the time frame to complete was reasonable – whether skipping or killing all
- most encounters were not just long and tedious (except the Ghost Eater)

Not many of the other dungeons meet those criteria. Why was AC given a makeover when it was needed much more on the other dungeons?

Probably they want to make first one hardest again. AC was hardest when game came out now they want it hard again.
Maybe want to be only MMO that makes things harder as it goes.

AC was by no mean near the hardest dungeon when it came out. It’s actually gotten easier over time and this patch traded all the high HP pool for glass cannon mobs, which makes it less stale.

And rigth now AC is not hard.

Right now AC is not hard. It’s nearly impossible for a group of 35’s to complete in a respectable amount of time. Get off your 80 exotic high horse and understand that AC is designed for, or at least WAS designed for, 35+ characters that are discovering explore mode dungeons for the first time.
