Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed something I hope is a bug. Yesterday I did a bunch of explorable dungeons (CoE / TA) and noticed that my rewards were decreasing even though I wasn’t:

1. Doing the same path twice in a row
2. Completing in under 1h

JonPeters.5630:

If you run the exact same chain twice in a row you will have your rewards cut. This means you can bounce back and forth between 2 different chains, even in the same dungeon without ever hitting this change. This change is made to encourage people to try different chains.

Even though we did different paths I never got above 44,450k xp and 6s50c, and it decreased.

I forgot to take screenshots of all my rewards, but I’ve got 2.

CoE – Front door path completed at 20:44 (screenshot attached) and Teleporter path completed 70 minutes later(link below). Clock on the minimap.

I had the some problem on earlier runs and on later runs in Twilight Arbor but forgot to take screenshots. Please look into it

It’s working as intended. The patch the other day neutered dungeon farming.

How can it be ‘working as intended’ when they’ve said rewards wont be decreasing if you do different paths within the same dungeon? As you can see on the screenshots, I completed 2 different paths with 70 minutes between them and still got decreasing rewards.

Fix the problems of dungeons rewards, we are getting 16s after changing paths of other dungeons, or even 2.6 after our first run in another instance.. This is making my guild quite upset.

Yeah, the dungeon rewards are definitely not working as intended at the moment as it simply seems to punish you for running multiple dungeons. No matter the lenght of the dungeon run, what path it is and which dungeons are being run.

Yesterday I posted https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dungeon-Updates/162688 about the subject and thus far today I’ve ran two dungeons, out of which on the 2nd I already had diminished rewards:

1) Twilight Arbor – explorable, up path: ~35 mins run, full reward
2) Sorrow’s Embrace – explorable, inquest path: ~55mins (Infinite spawning grenadiers are an awful mechanic), diminished reward 19s 50c, 133 350 XP.

Probably going to do a dungeon or two more at the evening and update the post with the results.

Ran a couple more dungeons during the evening:

1) Arah – explorable, Forgotten path: Took about ~2h, full reward
2) Sorrow’s Embrace – explorable , Military path: Took about 40 minutes, 19s 50c and 133 350 XP

Definitely looking like it is punishing you for running multiple dungeons in a row, which is a shame really.
