Guild Wars 2

This is what I was told by a party member when I told him I wanted to do the military path in Sorrows Embrace (bottom option)
Now I have cleared all the explorable paths in SE but I don’t remember any of them being that difficult.

So I told him no there has to be a mistake the military path is fairly simple trust me lets do it anyway. Our other party members had never been there before, first timers. They were all pugs. Knowing this I communicated the dangers each boss presented, said where ambushes were coming and told them what to expect at each area that I deemed challenging.

All in all the run took less than 30 minutes and no died, except our unlucky engineer who died twice, once being from dodge rolling off a cliff into lava (which was funny)

So I asked the person, how could you have possibly have had a 2 hour run and 26s in repairs when we just cleared it in 30 mins with almost no deaths. He was just as confused as me.

So I would like to ask anyone who has had one of these nightmare dungeon runs, what’s up? Is there 0 communication? Does nobody offer advice? What happens in these runs?

I know some of you may say “well that’s easy compared to X” maybe, but then what happens to make an easy dungeon into a 2 hour ordeal, that’s my question.

LOL ouch, how much did he get by the end of the dungeon?

I don’t remember he just told me repeatedly before we ran it that “it’s not worth it”

And then afterwards I get “are we running again?”

More likely he was in a terrible group and none of them knew how to play their class. They probably thought they could button mash their way to the end.

It really comes down to how hard people are trying to solve problems they encounter in the dungeon. Are they coordinated killing one thing all together, or did they think that they could just faceroll through the dungeon. Gear also plays a part as well as not everyone being speced like a glass cannon.

x.x" I haven’t had something this horrible happen, mainly cause I’m not in a guild capable of running anything I wanna run, its all CM for them and I want Arah.

But I did have a painful story mission, which happened to be Arah, our leader crashed while we were on the second part of the story, he was placed back in the start and told to gather parts while we all were on the airship. He left, another guy left and it was me and two randoms. Needless to say we finished the dungeon out of sheer rage induced, “We gonna win or flip a table”

I get that, but I have yet to have this experience in any dungeon I do and I always just pull people out of lions arch.

Yet I see people whine how hard dungeons are and that they are afraid to do them (that group I had before we went someone left recounting their own horror story)

But I also try to communicate and puzzle out what is going to happen next, pay attention to what mobs hurt the most then call targets on them. Is it that there is this group of really bad people, or does nobody want to work together?

I would want a youtube channel, or someone, who has done a clean dungeon run. Swagman, are you up for the challenge?

im up

I could but I would just use my current livestream channel that I’ve been showing off the bwes in the past.

The thought never occurred to me to record my dungeon runs. I guess I can start doing it.

Don’t expect any monetization of your work!

I’ve been searching youtube for any clean runs on dungeons with commentaries — there are none.

Maybe cause you can’t make money doing it, I was gonna start a website and make YouTube videos but really no point when Anet is just gonna say no go to kittyheaven!

You are crazy I was doing runs all last night, yes I was getting 2s50c for the end reward but in that span I got several destroyer cores and a lodestone and 6 globs of ectoplasm.

Not dying = no repair costs = all profit

A couple days ago, I did AC Exp on my warrior. Now, I’ve done 1 path of AC before and knew kinda what worked and what doesn’t. My group was 2 Rangers (1 pure melee and 1 pure ranged) a Greatsword Guardian a Dual Dagger Theif and Me (Sword and Board Signet Warrior). We utterly destroyed this dungeon. We had 1 death from being knocked off a cliff. It was fast and clean and I really didn’t expect us to finish with the party set up.

I re ran it with a different after this one was 2 Guardians(Greatsword 1 and Mace/Shield the other) 1 Ranger(Longbow) 1 Mesmer(Staff control heavy) and Me. For some reason we just kept wiping over and over again. I was doing the same path as my previous run. I was pretty familiar with the most efficient methods. I’m gonna blame it on this. Some people just don’t dodge, or move at all for that matter. We can cast and move for reason. Even as a warrior I am never “just standing there and taking damage”. Sure I’m specced heavy into defense but, not taking any damage at all is better.

My only advice for dungeon is to Keep Yourkitten Moving!

Eww, tell that ranger to hop off longbow and pick him up a good shortbow.

Well I can’t really understand how people would not have grasped the dodging concept by that point of the game. It’s a bit of a mystery to me.

Seeing people again complain about dungeon difficulty, just did AC explo path the colossus. Had a few more deaths than usual but it was a completely new group and had some brutal events in there, but we got through it and each time we failed we came back and did better.
