Grade: F for failure
Voice comm required to run a 5 man casual MMO? If that’s working as intended, this game is going to be a laughing stock. I successfully raided endgame everquest and vanilla/BC WoW before voice com was ubiquitous. A game should be playable with the tools that it provides. To require more technology than a game provides you to achieve success in any content, let alone a meaningless 5 man dungeon that provides nothing but cosmetic upgrades, is outrageous.
Basically what you’re all defending is Anet putting a stopgag on dungeon PvE. There is no endgame in this game, there’s no raids, there’s nothing. It was a bad idea from the start to design a game so that there would be no raiding endgame, that’s what MMOs have always been and always will be about as the endgame. There’s literally nothing else to do if you don’t want to WvW or sPvP or do jumping puzzles like a twelve-year old girl.
I agree with the earlier poster than Anet only took a month to slit its own throat.

I think they did revolutionize the gaming industry. I will never have to grind again because I’m pretty sure I’m just going to uninstall this POS and get borderlands 2.
2. Dungeons should be for well organised groups not PUGs.
Why? Why on earth would I want to log into this game anymore if the mentality is that unless you have a well organized group waiting for me I can’t complete a dungeon which only provides cosmetic upgrades?
The entire concept is flawed. Dungeons should be accessible, easy to learn hard to master and completable by PUGs with people who know their role and the mechanics.
The problem is there are really no true mechanics to the dungeons I’ve played so far. The ‘intended’ design is impossible and clearly hasn’t been tested in most cases. Also the mobs are boring and slow to fight; what happend to the promise of action packed fights? Thirdly, and this will be my last point, the communication system is underpowered for the user experience the devs seem to have intended for us. Without voice com there’s no way to communicate since we have no tank to hold aggro and thus fights are by design disorganized and leave you no time to type instructions to your team to dynamically react to changing situations.
Lol MMO where you can’t find a pick-up group? That’s comical. Good luck Anet.
Bad game is bad.
SMH. No rewards unless complete path finish? I heard the explorer mode is impossible. Who is playtesting this game?
Same problem that already exists with people with a bunch of 40K karma weapons they got for 200. Is that fair for all of us? No. Anet was like oh okay you can keep them, but nobody else can get them. That’s BS.
Maybe having those skins IS the only way I can have fun, so what?
And earned? By what, running the same dungeon literally hundreds of times? Where is the fun in that?
Why is it a game design axiom to force players to play literally the same content hundreds of times for no reason just to make them ‘earn’ some look for their character?
It’s not even like you get anything out of running the dungeon hundreds of times, you get tons and tons of terrible blues and green items and once in a blue moon a terrible exotic item to salvage for a chance at an ectoplasm. WOO so much fun!!
Maybe instead of nerfing things or making things harder (they’re already too hard), Anet should figure out how to make the things that everyone is intentionally skipping (or cheesing, as you say) because they’re so unappealing to the players? That’s a novel idea right….?
Why don’t you ask Anet to reduce the ridiculous cost of items so the only way to get a set from Arah isn’t to farm for 5 hours a day doing speed runs for 2 weeks straight or without speed runs, for 12 hours a day for 6 months straight?
This is supposed to be a casual friendly game where people with jobs, families, and normal lives can have a good time but as of right now it’s looking like just as much, if not more, of a grind fest than every other MMO on the market.
You understand that you’re creating an artifical grind in your own right. Correct? No one said you had to get the Dungeon set ASAP. You’re not sharing drop tokens with everyone. Yes it will take time. I don’t know how many times I have to say this but, It’s freaking supposed to. Why is that so hard to understand?
Because for a lot of people the game becomes more enjoyable when they have completed there character.
And the fact that people want to look cool playing the game and not play the game to look cool
Basically this. I could spend my time leveling up a ranger or a thief that I’d really like to play but instead I have to spend all my time farming some boring dungeon to finish off my character’s appearance. Why? Because of some absurd developer deciding that 1350 tokens was a reasonable amount to obtain to get a set for ONE character, 4 at a time.
In my opinion, that’s not reasonable. Farming Arah over and over isn’t making the game more enjoyable or increasing its potential longevity for me. Being forced to do something that I don’t enjoy is making me bitter and definitely lowering the amount of respect I have for Anet and my potential to play another character again knowing I’ll be subjected to this same BS all over again once I get to 80.
TL2 comes out tomorrow. Thank god for that I guess.
