Having the npcs be necessary to progressing the dungeon is an absolutely TERRIBLE idea in the first place. Having them take part in combat and able to die is just kittening stupid and does absolutely nothing except WASTE ALL OUR TIME.
Hey that’s cool that you thought up this new idea for dungeons but guess what it sucks. I will repeat myself and say that all it does is waste the vast majority of dungeon groups time when it kittens up and we get stuck. Take it out of the god kitten game or make the npcs not take part in combat. I am sick and tired of a dungeon bugging out and wasting my kittening time.
Editing to include that not skipping doesn’t decrease the chance of it bugging in the least. Since the npcs are weak and utterly useless they die while you’re killing trash and it bugs anyways.

I always ensure that when I pug I am the one who zones and has control over the instance this way if I get a group of kittens like this and they kick me they all get kicked out too.
Lions Arch. No reason to go anywhere else.
I’m curious how it will handle if the character has explorable unlocked or not. Sweet we got a group of 5 lets go! Aw no one has explorable /disband.
My question for you Robert Hrouda are there plans to make explorable unlocks account wide? It makes no sense to me why they aren’t in the first place since you obviously designed story modes to never be ran more then once in the first place.
Rabid is condition toughness precision right? If so the only place to get exotic armor for it is through several of the dungeons with tokens. Don’t remember which ones off the top of my head. I’m not aware of any jewelry for it though.
You’re supposed to kill all the non veteran mobs before engaging him. After that your group will be complaining about how many hit points the boss has.
You don’t get to have a legendary if you don’t want to grind for it.
For the second stage when he’s down I think a tail swipe attack to smack everyone off the little hill on the right side would be great.
While of course on the rare occasion I do jormag nowadays all i do is get enough damage then alt tab and do other stuff until he dies (I’m waiting for him to die while I write this!).
I’d love to see this put in just because it would be hilarious to watch.
EDIT- Ok so I thought of something to make Claw of Jormag possibly the most awesome event ever. So players hit by the tail swipe will fly into the ice wall and become STUCK in it for 30 seconds and become a JUMP PUZZLE while they are stuck in there!.

Well since this is in the dungeon forums I’ll assume you’re talking about while in a dungeon. How does this have a negative effect in any way shape or form since there are only five people in the party? Sure it might heal pets but oh well that extra bit of healing is just a bonus and shouldn’t be relied upon to keep anyone alive.
In general PvE (dynamic events) who the hell cares I rely entirely on my own heal for survival and expect nothing from anyone else. I don’t give a kitten who else is there doing the DE with me and what skills they bring. They can be naked running around with fireworks if they want.
Well if you ever get in my group I’ll drop a mesmer portal for you to the top!
Yeah my guildy was experimenting with magic find and got 3 in the 6 or so fractals we did.
For myself I’ve gotten 2 in about 60 runs or so.
We haven’t scrapped the old dungeons. We tried something new with Fractals, and so far it’s been very successful. I was on the team that built fractals, and now I am on the bug-fixing live team with a focus on our ‘old’ dungeons to fix bugs in there and see what I can do to spice them up a bit.
We’re certainly not going to just sweep the old dungeons under the rug. I will be working very hard on improving the dungeons.
For starters how about you cut the hp of bosses in Honor of the Waves in half. The bosses are kittening boring and are not the slightest bit difficult. Yet you make them take a minimum of 5 minutes to kill.
All of you complaining about the blind need to learn to play it seems. Pay attention and use an auto attack to get rid of the blind and then summon your phantasms.
My only issue is that all the exotic items you get in here are account bound. Why can’t I sell them on the tp if I don’t want them for any character.
I wouldn’t expect it to be any other way. Maybe I played too many MMOs before GW2.
If I get on another character, their map hasn’t unlocked map waypoints, they don’t share karma, 400 crafting on one doesn’t transfer to all, not have access to story-line stuff til they do it too (even tho it’s the same stupid story)…
I see what you’re saying but they did make dungeon tokens account bound so that you could run dungeons on your preferred character. Why didn’t also make story completion account wide I still don’t understand. (and it bugs me to no end I’m not ever going to do a story mode again)
I just know that I’m going to end up only running fractals on one single character and probably with only one single group of people simply because I don’t have much interest in having to do fractal level one 1,000 times.
Why is difficulty progression limited per character?
I see no reason at all for it to be like this. I have 7 of the professions at 80 and enjoy playing them all. I do not want to have to start at the beginning difficulty for each of them. Some groups might not have a good spread and being able to swap to a char to fill the gap is very useful.
Miyani is spamming me with the same mail over and over again and Blingg won’t shut the kitten up. Just a lil bit annoying.
His scaled stats might be higher but his survivability and damage is going to be absolutely TERRIBLE.
Hello jump puzzle “camper” here. First I very much enjoy pvp in the jump puzzle for the following reasons.
Not being able to see ANY enemies during the fights that should be the most fun. Those fights basically only being defending/attacking the keep lord in SMC and the keeps/garrison in the borderlands.
Staring at Doors got old real fast.
It’s small scale pvp.
Killing people by knocking them off cliffs and dying myself by charging/dodging/heartseeking off of cliffs is always hilarious.
Then of course the whispers that make great material for verbal abuse reports.
Until they put in a reason to take keeps (and be able to see all the enemies when the door is busted down) I’m not going to participate in that aspect of WvWvW unless the jump puzzle is empty.
If you intend to keep them in then for gods sake fix the events that they have to trigger. AC path 1 has failed to progress to the scepter room 7 times for me. Do you have ANY idea how frustrating this is? If anet is really planning to keep these in then this is the number one issue that needs to be addressed.
Pennry and other who say its a pvp puzzle a question for you. Is the puzzle made out of players? If not thats it part of the enviroment and therefoe pve. Are you really that dense you can’t see that or are you just being obtuse like pvpers allways are.
Gald we agree on that vespers
good lord. By this logic the keeps and towers are pve content as well since they are not made out of players.
I have setup siege in the puzzle before and I have also been on the receiving end and I have no problems with it as it’s quite fun. It is a PvP jump puzzle. As far as I’m aware it’s not written in any scripture somewhere that jump puzzles shall only be allowed as PvE content. Personally I would love to have a PvP zone where the majority of it was jump puzzle aspects. (just make it so you don’t have to be out of combat to make the jumps)
I like how all of those saying it’s a PvE aspect are ignoring the fact that the rewards for completing the puzzle are purely PvP. Guess what when one server holds the puzzle they are denying siege weapons that don’t cost gold from the other servers. If you have a mesmer up there porting and you port 50 people up thats 100 more siege weapons for your team.
I’m sorry that so many have such a difficult time in there but the fact is it is a very nice change of pace to fight in the jump puzzle and have all the up and down going on then just stand around beating on a door.
Some also seem to feel that it’s stupid that you can just pull someone off and they die. Ever heard of being aware of your surroundings? If you don’t want to get pulled off position yourself better.
And now to tell you how to get passed any and all blockades.
MESMERS!
greatsword skill 4 for killing targets out of line of sight.
focus skill 4 for pulling people off of ledges.
portal for porting your amassed army up to fight!
And yes whether you like it or not mesmers are the gods of jump puzzle combat because of these abilities.
You can do dungeons with your guild even if you are on different servers. No different then doing one with all people from your own server just click join into the dungeon when someone starts explorable. (You have to be in the zone that the dungeon is in)
So I can pretend to be a girl and trick not so smart guys into giving me all sorts of goodies and gold!
“dup” I happened to type this while trying to type “messed up” and it was filtered. Urban dictionary gave some interesting definitions…
yeah this is extremely frustrating. just happened to me for the 7th time since i started running AC explorable.
This is why I double triple and quadruple check that I’m buying the right item. Really hope this is implemented sometime in the future.
Funny thought this was the dungeon forums. Hm it is the dungeon forum. Variable X gaming can’t read apparently.
All I learned from this is that there is a /deaths and across all 6 of my 80s I’ve died 1247 times. I have enough /age that I’m embarrassed to say it…how has this guy died 2200 times. Shoot I already feel like I’m face down in the dirt a lot but 2200… :O
This is actually the best solution.
Why not have some fun and make everyone a Quaggan ghost / pirate for the puzzle?
omg this soooo this!
for the clocktower!
/RAGE charr and norns!
Well when every single dungeon you can skip nearly half its content (meaning trash mobs) just by running by them guess what you’re going to hit diminishing returns. Stop skipping all the trash and you’ll stop being hit by DR.
Hooray! thanks very much.
Before the second boss is killed I can see infinite waves being intended. Hopefully they put in enough time between waves to actually be able to kill them before/ as the next wave spawns.
But is it intended that the waves keep spawning after the second boss is dead? Currently if the group dies at the three golems it’s basically the end of the dungeon as it is very difficult to run past the 10+ waves of guys to get back to them.
More info for ac path 1. If you are at the howling king MAKE SURE hodgins is alive when he dies. If hodgins is dead you won’t get the quest completion and no rewards. Him not starting the second scepter has happened to me twice now in less then 24 hours. Very annoying.
Make our characters smart enough to auto-attack when idle...

how about instead you go afk in a spot where monsters won’t come and kill you.
For future dungeons instead of having trash mobs make it a chain of dynamic events and bosses. Dynamic events reward karma and the end of the dungeon you get your tokens. This way you’re getting some sort of reward for everything you do in the dungeon and you have to do the DE to progress the dungeon so nothing will be skipped.
This also lets players slowly gain karma towards a legendary. Personally if karma farming stays as it is I will never, ever bother to get one as I did the karma zerg for 10 levels and never want to see those dynamic events again.
Please please please do something to make me not want to skip every possible thing in your dungeons because currently that is what I do. I do not have any fun whatsoever killing all of these worthless creatures that do absolutely nothing except increase the time I have to spend to get my tokens for the look/stat combination I want.
Occasionally this path is not giving the rewards for completing the dungeon. Once you kill the tree it goes through the cutscene the oakhearts are killed and then nothing happens. The group just has to reset the dungeon and move on to the next path.
Well while that would be nice it doesn’t help my mesmer who has four off hand items. I would just prefer to have all my weapons be in the same spot in my bags when I change them around.
All weapons that you have equipped when you swap them will return to this bag before any others. This way I don’t accidentally salvage another rare weapon in my bag cause I go oo ecto! Only happened a couple times its not a big deal but would also be nice to help with inventory clutter.
Rich ori only comes from WvWvW, ori nodes on all other maps that they spawn are restricted to normal nodes.
This isn’t true. For the first two – three weeks rich ori nodes spawned in frostgorge, malchors, and cursed shore as well as the jump puzzle.
It’s been four weeks since there has been a rich ori vein on Crystal Desert. The first two weeks of the game I found one in each of the three zones and jump puzzle but ever since the one week 1v1 wvwvw matches started there’s been zero.
Could there be an option to turn off the “Are you sure you wish to salvage this item?” for green items? Also when you salvage them to not have to double click the salvage kit again.
For me I run the jump puzzles on several max lvl characters for the badges since they are account bound. It just doesn’t really make sense to me why siege weapons are not account bound as well.
Also all these siege weapons are starting to take up quite a bit of bank space.
So as the title says my game randomly freezes at any point during this particular dungeon and I have to ctrl alt del and force close the program. It’s happened up to four times in one run and just now it happened as the boss was being killed and I was completely removed from getting the dungeon rewards. It’s been happening since last weeks update and had never happened before then.
It does not occur in any other dungeon and path I have done so far.
I’m able to run all paths on my three 80s and I get 60 tokens each time as long as it’s the first run they do.
The current point system I feel gives far too much of an advantage to the servers who have high population around the clock. Once one server starts getting the lead the other two honestly have no reason to keep trying because everything they might take back during their prime time will simply be lost when they go to sleep.
This is a problem because at night when there really aren’t that many fights going on points are being gained for sitting around with not much happening.
Points should be acquired on a successful capture of an area and successful defense of an area and nothing else.
Example capping a tower is worth five points, an overlook/garrison 10 points, and the castle 15. Supply camps would be worth 10 as well to hopefully give more incentive to guard them so they aren’t swapping every two or three minutes.
Successful defense points would be as they are now. Every three minutes you’re awarded five points.
Now I know guilds on high population servers would gladly exploit this while free transfers are still available (eredon terrace transferring to remove supplies from keeps) But once server transfers cost money I feel this would be a much better system so when one side of the world is asleep one server can’t cap everything and begin a snowball that can’t be caught up to.
i saw this too i really can’t believe it is intentional.
They’re medium and they are supposed to be light. Been wondering why I haven’t seen anyone with these shoulders.
Edit – was fixed with this update 10/1/2012

When a group tries to zone in they all enter their own instance. For some reason grouping with people from other servers through lions arch overflow makes it work but a full group of CD and it’s no good.
