Guild Wars 2

There has been many a topic on this, and I know its more about the $$ game now than the causal players etc, but has anyone tried Jormag since last nights patch.

I think this has to be a joke, Jormag was nearing the hour mark when we decided to leave it, and still had 75% health on phase 2, so now you get to spend an hour of your day playing trying to kill a dragon that will drop you blues maybe a green, if your extremely lucky you will get a Rare, and good luck getting an exotic,

Add to that you also get to fight the 3 champs that spawn in phase 2 every 5 mins, for blue drops, try get the golems down to stun Jormag, oh wait they spawn like 100 at a time, and instant kill the golem, this will be a dead event now, everyone there today said they will not return.

You really dropped the ball on this one Anet, did you not read any of the posts on these forums where people ARE crying out for REWARD VS TIME, this is a TIME SINK and gives no Reward at all, I hope this was a glitch that will be changed.

How many players were there for this? Estimate, was it a handful or the usual 20+?

Either they were only a small group, or doing it completely wrong. It only takes about 30 minutes, roughly 10 minutes longer after the change. It’s probably a bug, since there’s no real reason to increase the length of the longest dragon event.

To speed up the encounter, get everyone to attack both feet and the head when it’s stunned. Doing this, each player should easily be doing 3k-10k dps. When there’s enough people to deal with the ice pillars, everyone else should be keeping conditions up, since they bypass the damage reduction. People should be shooting through fire and poison fields while others stack bleeds. The champs don’t need to be killed, just keep them out of the path of the golems.

Also, game wide, reward vs time and effort is completely broken, so this isn’t anything new.

Another thing that the majority of players don’t seem to understand about the first phase:
Explosives do the most damage to both the ice shield and the Claw itself.
Don’t just stand on a ledge auto-attacking with Charrzookas if you want to do it expediently!
Pick up a bomb kit and RUN!

spend 3 hours in fotm 40+ and just get enough crap drop roughly to get around 25-30s, minus the repair bill around 15-20s just to get the chance for one fractal skin. or maybe 2hours in Arah P4. reward Vs time is no the priority for anet right now,

You cannot stand on the ledge auto attacking, because the ledge has been removed,

There was more than 40 of us at this event, when the golems started walking down, it spawned close to 40 of then ice crystals instantly, they where nearly respawning as fast as we could take them down,

The event has been made harder/longer, either by mistake or intentional, yet the loot is the same, like I said, no one will bother with this event now, just another event where you are not rewarded for the time you have to invest in it.

Reading comprehension fail there “Ok I Did It”.
FIRST PHASE, NOT SECOND.

The usual 20+, also, when Claw goes to phase 2 he is miraculously healed to 100% having to grind him back down, the terrain was also changed, I would assume to give us a harder time with him, but, you know what they say about assumptions.

And this is why I don’t bother doing Jormag unless someone tells me it’s on 2nd phase.

The time you spend on Jormag you could be doing other quick metas, such as wurm, golem, FE or Maw.

Play smart.

I agree with this, but, usually all the others pop before Claw even has a thought of showing with the hour 15 minute spawning window, so, I usually farm the ADs and surrounding area for better drops than you get from killing Claw. Bass ackwards wouldn’t you think? I do Claw and other events only for the Karma, my main playstyle is a lowly solo farmer.

This just show the problem with open world event.

Supposely the dynamic event is scaled. But the difficulty is still totally different depend on the number of people.

Jormag is really autoclick on those high population server.

Yeah a three and a quarter hours before (up to) a 90 minutes wait for an event you can (effectively) do once a day (unless you have a toon ‘parked there in which case you now get nothing!) is not bad enough – now it’s a LOT longer to do for same rewards … another ex Claw ‘eventer’

Jormag bugged to take longer time? FANTASTIC!!!

Because the mobs he spawn give 100x better loot than the stupid chest of blues, especially if you have MF they have a fair chance to drop lodestones.

Play smart indeed, know what gives the loot – the dragon doesnt, he’s just a little sidenote to the event.

Great job. I suggest tripling hp of Golem mk2 next.

IF this was by design, it’s the developer that need’s nerfing. As in, he/she shouldn’t be working on the game! Making the boss event’s harder will just push players away.

GG….

These are the only changes they can come up with for dragons? Seriously if they can’t change them by making them more fun and interesting they may as well just leave them alone.
