Anybody got another way to get to that island on Southsun Cove without having to attempt that effed up jumping puzzle! Im trying to get a sample that is on that island but it is so freaking impossible (I know its not impossible but painfully hard). Is there another way up to get to that sample or some secret that makes the puzzle a lot less frustration. (I know finding a mesmer helps but i never see any around).
ok, thanks for the information ^^
I own my copy of Guild Wars 2 but my little brother wants to play with me using an unused character slot. So I was wondering if we could both be logged into my account at the same time but using different characters? I just don’t want to pay for another guild wars key :P
Yea, I can agree dungeons are hard but what fun would it be if it was easy? When I first started dungeons at AC I died maybe 20 times a run, but the more practice I got the fewer times I died and several other factors began to contribute to my success. The undeniable fact is that you’re going to die, but if you know how to play dungeons you can prevent yourself from dyeing a lot less. However the only issue I see in dungeons at the moment are the poor rewards you get out of them (unless the recent update changed that) but other than that I enjoy the difficulty of the dungeons. Below is a guide on how you can have fun and succeed in dungeons.
Be Prepared!
Don’t walk into dungeons like you would with events. Be sure that your skills are set up the way you want, your armor is as tuff as it can be, and have a weapon that can deal very high damage. I found AC to be much easier with level 80 gears rather then maybe level 40 gears. I was able to sustain 2 or 3 extra hits from mobs. (Bosses still have the power to one shot those but you can normally see those coming). Also, if you’re joining a random party, be sure to discuss a game plan before taking action. Someone who has done that dungeon before may know what best to do. Another good advice is to choose the healing skill that removes conditions so you won’t take as much damage from poison or bleed.
Be Supportive!
If someone drops next to you, Res him if you can unless you’re taking direct hits from mobs or bosses. Also, don’t have any skills that only give you boons. If you’re going to use boons make sure they benefit the entire party such as banners. Finally if you’re able to absorb blows that would kill your team mate but keep you alive, take the blows.
Follow Your Profession!
If you are a class meant to have a sword, then use it instead of the rifle. Let’s say if you are a warrior don’t constantly use rifles or guns, instead get in close and deal as much damage as you can and at the same time avoid taking damage. If you find your health getting low to the point one more hit will kill you, then back up and use rifles and bows but only long enough for you to get your health back up.
Learn To DODGE!!!!
The key to success in dungeons is to know when and how to dodge, if you see a read ring around you, forget about your opponent for a minute and roll out, it’s usually those that kill you. If you plan on fighting a boss, discuss with your team how you plan on taking them out. They usually have a weakness. For the bow guy with the hounds in AC his weakness are slash attacks so to fight him we composed our team of 3 rangers to deal with the hounds or him at a distance and 2 fighters to get him up close. Most of the time the one hit kill moves that does 20k damage give some kind of warning that its coming. Learn you opponents moves and act accordingly.
That’s all I have to say on the matter. Trolls go ahead and troll. Others, if you’re going to post negative comments at least make it constructive.
This is the way i pretty much fight (but with macros) I have one key set to lock the camera and by pressing it again releases the camera. I think this is the only macro i set my nostromo to perform
I think i liked the story about your parents best. almost made me cry :P
I usually do what i can to dish out damage and stun my opponents but when im in a dungeon I switch my hounds to the war banner to give my group a small power and speed boost.
I hear ya :/ I get this issue all the time.
yea. getting a visual on your enemy can be hard sometimes. I personalty would like to be able to camera lock an opponent that also has a quick release so i can target other creatures or dodge in an effective manner. But the more you do dungeons you usually can see this stuff coming more often.
The difficulty would be fine if some of the boss fights weren’t so buggy.
We just did CoF Explorable and went the Save the Engineer route. Did just fine until the final boss. Problem was that he was spawning 2-3x the amount of crystals as normal. Could get him down to 30% but could not kill him or crystals fast enough—he was spawning crystals so quickly there was nothing we could do.
It’s not the difficulty that is the problem, ArenaNet. It’s that there are some nasty bugs in your dungeons. Fix those and the difficulty will be fine.
lol ran into one bug where an instance wouldn’t occur forcing us to leave the dungeon. we weren’t happy after that xD. well as time goes on im sure future updates will fix these issues.
well collin good 4 u this game has good pvp , cause u just answered my ? on whether or not i should even get involved with your pve or not, and wheather or not i would spend any more money on this game or not, no offense to u dude but im 33 yeaars old and when i play a game i want to have a good time not get my butt handed to me over and over, the only thing i can think is u all must have made enough money already, and i hope u did cause your un willingness to work with casual gamers isnt going to make u any more. im sure i speak 4 a lot of others as well.
please dont say you speak for all of us. I like the difficulty of the dungeons. its the cost of repairing armor and poor rewards that bumb me out.
What would be the point ( or fun ) in that? Dungeons are not and never should be made for solo play . They are made for groups of people with a common goal to kick some NPC butt. There is more than enough solo play already if that’s your preference .
yea i would agree, but for high level dungeons you mostly hear crickets and are unable to find anybody to group up with.
Just a thought I had. I’m getting tired of trying to wait for other people to team up with. So basically in solo mode the opponents you fight are not as strong but still on a challenging level. either that or a party full of tuff npcs.
yes? no? maybe? what do yall think about it? I usually don’t like going to much into details about my thoughts.
If y’all are talking about that one boss that does the whip pull and spin death thing that’s probably one of the most obvious moves to counter. Just watch his hand go up, wait 3 seconds and then dodge and you wont get sucked in. but yes, more incentive is needed high cost of armor repairs at high levels and poor rewards makes AC a chore.
I don’t mind difficulty, i just hate how much armor costs to repair because they implode all the time from dungeons.
For the 100 blade skill, I really don’t see people using it effectively. this skill can be stopped half way by performing a dodge or whirlwind. Whenever im in world vs world and I fight somebody with a two handed sword and try 100 blades on me i back up and they just keep using it until it runs out. The way i use them in pvp situations is use the throw ability (if there running) or the stomp ability (if they are going to fight you) to immobilize your opponent. then use 100 Blades + fury to get the most damage. If they try to run or fight back when im half way threw 100 blades I perform whirlwind to put distance between us while doing damage at the same time. Finally I use stance (i think thats what its called) so i take no damage for a brief amount of time which is enough to summon my 2 hounds (elite skill) and then i continue from there. by that time my opponent has lost a huge chunk of health.
Im running an HD 5570 (old i know) and im stabilizing at 30 fps. I think an HD 6870 or higher will get you what you want

Basically I bought the heavy armor look from the gem store. gems vanished and the item never showed up in my mailbox.
I think it was an issue when they were testing to trade post. Buying gems was really slow and if you bought something with those gems you would never get the item you purchased. as of right now just send in a ticket (support form) and wait. but dont forget its going to take a while as recovering accounts is a high priority at the moment.
