Assume they took away the pop-up chest that gives you the 1-3gold per path. You’d still get the 24 or so silver for completing the path. Also assuming no buff is given to tokens or mats drops.

No. But not because of the reward thing. With the new maps, PvP, Fractals and Raids. I don’t think I was gonna do dungeon for a couple of months after launch anyway. Will I do dungeon after that? It depend if the reward is still worth it. If it give you zero gold, only loots and token to do a path. I might no be doing dungeon anymore. But I doubt they will nerf dungeon that much.

I’m with Thaddeus on this one, at least during the first few weeks of the release. There will simply be too much new content to work on: Fractals, raid prepping, masteries, achievements, precursor crafting, mapping, etc.

Even if the dungeon rewards weren’t being altered I think there’d be too many flashy things distracting us from the older content.

I’ll try but I doubt I will get any friends to do them. Instead I’ll have to start a spread sheet of friends and see what their personal reward level is in fractals and track their AR to see if our stars align and we can do fractals together. The future of five player instanced content in GW2 – “Do you have 100AR? No? Sorry you can’t come.” or “Why would I want to deal with the instability of a level 60 fractal when my reward level is only 30? I’ll just pug it.” or “I guess I’ll do a level 20 with you to help you get your AR up, shame I only had time for one fractal today and I wanted to do a 100”.

Weird. I have no problem finding friends to do fractal 50 now. As long as they have 70 AR, all is fine and I’ll even help them get that AR so they can join latter. I never heard of anyone saying I have the AR for a level 50, but I’m only level 30 and I don’t want to deal with the higher difficulty of level 50. Either the instability is frustrating and nobody want to do it, or the instability is fine and nobody care if they have the AR.

With no other incentives added, for 20-odd silvers? In a word, no. Even PvP wins have a better pay out, and that doesn’t even factor in the reward tracks.

COE might be fun now and again since there’s a decent chance of getting charged cores and lodestones, but the other dungeons would just seem pointless.

No whiteknighting nonsense!

  • The gold from completing a dungeon is getting nerfed not removed.
  • The TP will take on a new equilibrium for the majority of its items, high priced stuff like charged lodestones and giant eyes are surely to fall with map rewards while others are going up due to demand with HoT recipes.
  • The demand for t5 materials is getting improved to get closer towards silk’s price with new HoT recipes.
  • Dungeons will still generate a ton of blues/greens which are the biggest source of t5 materials.
  • Salvage is getting revamped Some of these changes will reduce output to help us maintain scarcity, and some will rebalance heavily input materials with more rare materials to help even out some of the variation of scarcity we currently have.
    this could imply that salvaging lv60-80 blues and greens wil reward t2-4 materials which are more rare than their t5 counterparts which will improve gold/salvage at this time.
  • Gold generated in dungeons was tremendously higher than gold generated in fractals by time.

Overal, the gold nerf is not outrageous considering that the TP is getting overhauled with it.

hmph, actually made thread about this in general discussion.

No.

Maybe occasionally to help someone, but certainly not as often which makes me sad. Dungeon running has been my FAVORITE thing to do in this game for the past 2 years. But as much as I love it, I still need to make money with the limited time that I have to play which means I will be forced to spend my time elsewhere or accept the fact that I will now be forever poor. I understand that the point is to “encourage” people to migrate to other areas of the game but frankly, this nerf to significantly reduce the money for dungeon running while leaving SW the way it is will simply “encourage” those few pve players who are not already living in SW to go there. Not happy in the least.

I will probably do the other thing that gives money = to dungeons, in HoT will probablly give even more. With new maps, i am pretty sure that there will be new mining routes. You just need kitten, an watchwork mining pick and prey to not get bored of the game, because i really doubt that any content of the game will be even close as rewarding as minning like a pro. Minning is extremilly rewarding since the beggining of the game and it seems ignored by alot of people, ofcourse you need to know the best routes to farm, but you can get up to 30g/h… you just need alot of characters, but if you have 8 you can do really good money (but you probably will not play gw2 in the future, after the best ways to win money on game are just doing boring stuff like minning, press f behind a train or spam 1 in events….)

Hey all, thanks for the replies. The reason why I ask this question is to gauge how the dungeon community will survive with a nerf to the rewards. Not like most people, I do dungeons for the sake of enjoying the dungeon, and it’s rewards is secondary to me. I like to do dungeons clean, fast, efficient and using the latest tactics. I also only enjoy dungeons with people who are skilled and know what they are doing, not quite the average pugs, simply because I am not satisfied with mediocre performance, but the will to improve and play at the highest level. But yet, with the effort I put into doing my best in dungeons, I think the 1 gold reward is a good reward for my best and most beautiful runs, and with a nerf coming to it, I don’t think a lower reward would keep most of my go-to dungeon mates or myself as interested.

As we all know, the dungeon community has been dying out over the past few months, less records are established, guilds are not as popular or highly established as they are before, veterans are leaving/going casual and we’re seeing less and less newcomers to the scene. We also haven’t had a tournament for a year now, and the last one was a 3 man tourney. Like most hardcore players, for the past few months, I’ve been mostly doing solos and lowmans just because there simply are not as many people at a high skill level with the interest of doing dungeons for a greater purpose than money. Being said, I fear even the slightest nerf to dungeon rewards would kill the interest of people who have stuck with dungeons through all the glory of it’s buggy and stale content.

I am yet unsure about my stance on continuing or leaving the dungeon scene. As much as I would like to continue advancing in this area, I do not think that I would be interested if there is going to be no knowledgeable people to team up with or a lack of competition to keep things interesting. Whatever you feel about dungeons right now, we can assuredly say that the dungeon community has massively improved ever since it has been released and that is thanks to the overwhelming interest we have received from all of you guys. The guides released, the player-supported tournaments, the records, the websites, the amazing stunts that have been pulled off, it would never cease to amaze me how much effort that all of you have put into keeping this community alive.

So, I hope to hear more from all of you on my initial question and your opinions on this matter. Thank you all for your persistent interest in the scene and I sincerely hope that we are able to keep this community alive even after everything that we have had to endure.

I’ve already stopped. I was only running COE 123 and COF 1&2 at this point anyway. The gold, in addition to the chance at cores/lodestones, and the rares you can buy with tokens made it worth the time to me.

As it is, I get better results on all of those things in SW anyway, so I’m just going to hardcore farm it now.

I’ll keep doing arah to maintain my lead as person with most arah tokens, but I would not be telling the truth to say that I might have a lot lower motivation than I already do. Don’t really care about the gold that much, it’s the tokens that matter the most but still it’s like getting kicked in the groin… we don’t deserve to get treated like this.

Even if dungeons aren’t worked on anymore it’s stupid to shun people that play them.

So yeah the dungeons gold nerf does kitten me off, but I can’t say I’m surprised considering the track record here. They have disappointing their playerbase down to a science tbh, they’re like the Comcast of the gaming industry for me right now.

Finding party for dungeons are all about scale. If there aren’t a minimum amount of players that fills up the search, then the few who are left aren’t going to stand around and wait for a party to fill up. A negative reinforcement kicks and from that point dungeons will be dead content. I will personally follow this path.

Not now, not later.

I already finished all my collections ages ago. I have enough characters that are fully leveled. My only interest left in dungeons is the experience. So I’d probably go back to dungeons if my friends need to level his characters up or if it’s faster to level my Mastery there.
Furthermore, between PvP League, Raid, Fractal, Crafting, Exploration and Learning all the new classes, I don’t see any time for me to bother with dungeons for a while.

No, but it has nothing to do with the nerf. When HoT comes out we can progress and farm fractals and spend time unlocking masteries. By the time I’m done with all that we will have raids and the idea of doing legacy content like dungeons will be pretty dumb.
