Guild Wars 2

So, our small Family and Friends guild finally has five people of level to run dungeons. All we needed for the monthly was dungeons, so we spent the last week running dungeons towards the monthly and we got to four. One member missed AC story mode, so we repeated it with him and got no credit towards the monthly. (Neither us nor him).

So, we had this one last night to complete a Dungeon. (Other commitments will prevent us from assembling the members for a dungeon run on Wednesday or Thursday). Our, lowest level member is 38, so we decided that FotM was a safer bet than CM. (We had one branch of AC left to do, but we didn’t want to waste our one last night before the end of the month after reading that AC was made a lot more difficult with the patch).

Second time through, though we got a different mix of Fractals than the first run. We went is at difficulty two, so had the Jade Maw on top of it. Fun evening, we are all playing better in dungeons, great night for all. At least, until we got out of FotM only to find that we had not received credit towards the monthly!

So, is this a bug? Or does FotM not count? Do only runs in a different dungeon/wing count towards the monthly? If so, why the heck doesn’t the tooltip reflect this?

It’s bad enough that Dungeon runs were part of the monthly, but to then have restrictions on what dungeons count towards that monthly is just sadistic.

Question: What actually counts towards the Dungeons requirement for February’s Monthly? Does FotM count at all? Did it have to be completed runs of unique dungeons/paths? If so, why isn’t this made clear in the tooltip. If it’s a bug, is there any way to get proper credit rewarded for our efforts?

I’m not so sure that five dungeons for 28 days is very sadistic. Also I don’t think Fractals count.

Fotm doesn’t count. Do the explorable mode dungeon.

Why wouldn’t FotM count? It is a dungeon, isn’t it? Also, the question remains, does it have to be unique paths to count? If we somehow manage to fit another run in, I’d like to know if it actually will count ahead of time.

Fractals has their own achievements, so it made sense it did not count as dungeon.

You can repeat a path for credit.

fractals doesn’t count because there are a lot of players that swore to the god of dungeon to never run it (probably they do it in secret with guilty feelings /sarcasm), they have their own achievement btw.

all other dungeon counts, so should the story mode. i completed my achievement with some story mode.
so probably you had some bug in AC, which is strange and you can submit a ticket about it i think.

there have been some issue with achievement and they patched those just with this last patch.

This is great, i need 4 more for monthly and intend to run them when i get home from work in 10 hours, hope i dont get screwed.

I was actually going to try the fractals for the first time as most people tell me its the best dungeon to run for drops, guess what they really meant is its the best non-dungeon to run.

I ran Arah story mode and it counts. The other 4 I just did CoF path 1 for 4 times, lol.

Is CoF 1 fast to run? is that why people seem to like doing that one so much?

Its one of the quickest runs in the game. It literally takes less than 10 minutes and it is also one of the better known ways to farm gold in the game.

Just so you know, its only fast for those that knows how to run it.

I figured that, im hoping ill find someone to run it with that knows what they are doing.

It’s fast if you have a mesmer who knows how to portal and a group that knows how to work the door before last boss.
