Guild Wars 2

I mean really.

Why do all the good stuff have to be 5-person access.

I don’t have the time to focus on working through stuff with other players. Who most of the time I can’t trust to play the game correctly or safely.

I mean if you are going to make a special event could you try and get so solo players can get in on some of the fun.

It’s perfetcly playable with less. Plenty of people are playing it soloable as it scales the access according to your party. Bosses are tricky, but don’t be deceived by the 5 player thing – I’ve spent a couple of hrs in with just 2 of us!

:)

You can play the super adventure box just fine as a solo player. I find it fun to try solo as well

LMAO, just solo it. You don’t need 5 people.

Where does it say it is 5 man?

The pop up when you enter the portal says recommended 5 players. It’s a bit deceptive

It would be nice if they identified it as “Supports 1-5 players, with difficulty scaling accordingly.” I’m conditioned to ignore recommendations and just jump in anyway—ANet has a good history of providing accessible content.

Personally, I find it most rewarding (financially) when I run it solo. I suppose duoing might also be decent, provided my partner is good at jump puzzles.

Running as a 5-man, however… was an absolute blast of nostalgia and fun. Almost every death resulted in a “That was just like in <name of 20-year-old-game>” comment.

I had forgotten how evil Ninja Gaiden was. Actually, “blocked out” is probably more correct than “forgotten.”

ITT: OP making thread about dungeon requiring 5 people, without first verifying that said dungeon doesn’t require 5 people.

PS: me and one friend beat the Frog King last night. I’m sure some people have soloed him.

I would like to know why we need a different currency. Don’t you think we have enough already????

It is a mandatory facet of lateral progression.

If they didn’t introduce a new currency, then the new content would be built on top of all prior progression. They may not have stats associated with it, but the weapon skins would have absolutely no connection to the content aside from release date without creating a new progression path.

Currency is the tool that is used to measure your progression down that path.

This is for one month.. if it had same currency as everywhere else you wouldnt need to do the box of fun to get the gear… do you REALLY have to even ask this!??!

Arenanet has a strange way of designing challenging content. You can solo the whole dungeon.

That is because it was fun not challenging- I liked the fact that I could solo it.
You can always choose a more difficult mode- I stuck with infantile :P

Has an easy mode, scales with the number of players, and can be soloed in under half an hour fairly easily… why do people complain?

I confirm he can be soloed, quite easily in fact. Just did it, his health scales based on how many players are in the instance. Less players=less health

I soloed the entire thing in the hardest possible configuration. Totally awesome, and totally preferable to having to wait for other players not used to my speed!

Likely they are just reusing the normal dungeon code, and it is hardcoded to recommend 5 players. Honestly i wish the rest of the PVE dungeons scaled like this ATB does.

The last time i went into something labeled 5-person i died quick. Didn’t bother to go in due to this. I get the responses. Will try later

Btw thanks for the responses
