Guild Wars 2

I’ve just spent roughly 4 hours trying to get gold level in the Scrap Rifle Field Test adventure in Tangled Depths. The best I got was 128 chak killed in 4 minutes. I got to 125 a couple times. I’ve watched videos on Youtube and did everything those players did, as well as look up suggestions on the forums and in reddit, and I still cannot get it done.

One thing I noticed in the videos posted is that there are a couple things that seemed to have changed between when those videos are posted to now. The #2 flamethrower attack does not seem to last as long now and the chak do not seem to not group together as much as they do in the videos. (This was also mentioned on reddit). It was also suggested that characters with high condition damage are more suited to this adventure, which to me doesn’t seem right. I would think that the adventures should be able to be completed by any character regardless of class.

My suggestion is to lower the amount of chak needed for Gold from 150 to 120.

I support this, because I’ve heard a lot of people have problems with this one (I tried it once and promptly decided to never come back).

Just forget those adventures, some are just broken and stupid waste of time. I gave up and it’s not needed for mastery leveling anyways.

how much more nerfing does this need ;-;

It’s doable. Sadly just with a good amount practice, perfect execution, no vague spawns and on top of it: luck. Also, use a character running a condi build helps.

Learn your route, know the skills, don’t use instant casting if you have it on. And then roll.
Mistake: start over – until you don’t do mistakes…

I did it after 2-3 hours focusing only on this. But the last ones I killed with the overloaded last skill.

Well, i got +con damage exotic armor on my mesmer, and used Truffle Risotto and Toxic Focusing Crystals, and still cannot get gold in this after 3 hours of play. I have gold in all the other adventures. This is frustrating. But…
I believe there is a bug in the adventure. The #2 attack “Spray and Pray” seems to end prematurely. If you watch the channel bar when you attack, it goes slowly for about 2 seconds, then jumps to full ending the attack after 2 seconds. I bugged it. Maybe it will get fixed.

Plus action cam helps

Finally got gold in this using a warrior in Ascended marauders armor, fire flank steak, strength booster, speed booster and a toxic focusing crystal. Finished with just shy of 13 seconds to spare.

ouch really? I tried for a couple days before leaving, I see I need some extreme measures to conquer that adventure…
