Guild Wars 2

2 Staffs of rage available today on Trading Post. If I remember correctly 290G?

.. errr xD

Try completing a zone? =s

I’m not sure, but to me, if you just say out loud what happened ‘All paths, but once per day’, it doesn’t seem anti-farm, it’s just a big limit to dungeons.

I do get faster tokens by just doing each path once a day, so the set progress is smoothly.

But! When you really like doing dungeons, and run one path a few times to, for example, test tactics, but you still perform well & coordinated, the reward could be just as well zero, it’s not inviting at all to do this.

I do think this needs to be looked into.

I like the new rewards, but it did make me play less dungeons and therefor overall play less.

I’ve completed all three paths in TA today, received the full 60 tokens (Hooray!).
Then, hours later (maybe 4 – 5 hours) I did one path again for the 2nd time that day, and received 20.

So yes, it seems we can’t do any dungeon twice a day, not even on alts, to receive the full amount.

. The forward forward path has always been the hardest, for the simple fact there are many knights.

Knights seem like one of the hardest mobs in the game, and yet there seem to have been added 5 – 6 packs of 3 mobs, with at least one knight, and maybe more.

Not only does this make it really IMPOSSIBLE for pugs, it also heavily promotes running past mobs.

I love challenge & really hard dungeons, but I sincerily believe that these changes are out of line.

Thanks for reading, hope to get some feedback from the community and/or devs!

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

What the minipatch we got few minutes ago was for?

To prevent the next zillion tokens from disappearing undeserved?

It’s been tuesday for so long already xD

OMG All other classes don’t have 4 skill bars that’s such a big design flaw …..

No patch today?

Aw noes we need coordination? Let’s all forumrant!

Nakkrop don’t let them scare you!
I suggest you just keep the tokens in your bank so that, as soon as you hit 80, you’ll probably be able to buy (perhaps multiple) nice-looking, best-stat items in the game!

Because don’t forget, only legendary items (which are.. really legendary heh) are a little better than exotic. You’ll be fine with green/blue/gold before 80. And at 80, exotic is the very best gear there is.

If you like doing dungeons, hell do them! It’s good xp, fun, gives you a good challenge.

There’s a level req for each dungeon story mode, and the level req for explorable mode will be a bit higher.
You can CERTAINLY join as soon as you hit the lvl, as lvl 80’s will get their stats downgraded.

I shoo at the comment that states that you would be less useful having a downgraded ‘power: 300, precision 300’ instead of the lvl 80 ‘power: 360, precision:360’ (for example).
You will only be less useful if you do things wrong.

I say go for it! Get the touch of dungeons, get the feeling of wiping on a boss, thinking things over and then PWNING him to the max.

Have fun

All those things ……. are the dungeon mechanics LOL xD

A challenge? .. err … err …. erhm …. shall I think? .. nah FORUM RANT!

Second path today, again 45! I’m so happy. I think I figured it out, I only have to wait about 5 hours between each dungeon, could be a bit more. Enough to live with it for another 2 days I guess.

AcE.3418:

What ever happened to Hard Mode, and Normal Mode? It just seems everything is set to Rediculous Mode, and your team has no choice but to get owned by AoE Spamming, Billion health boss’s.

Dungeons. Are. Broken.

Artorous.8573:

1: I make 50s-1g from loot drops, not including final rewards for a complete clear. Sometimes i make more than that if I get lucky. Considering it takes ~30 minutes to do a full clear, if you have a good group, that’s a pretty decent return for the little time I spend in there. Plus I get my 60 badges.

2: If you are zerging the boss down after you die then you’re doing it wrong. Sure, sometimes it’s ok to do that, but if you’re doing that over and over again then STOP, regroup, figure out what you’re doing wrong, and start over from the beginning. I know, gasp, resetting a boss takes precious time, but guess what, you’re going to spend less time if you figure out what you’re doing wrong and fix that instead of bum rushing from rez. You can clear them with any comp if you’re actually willing to learn what you’re doing wrong. I find it hard to believe that you were in a top 50 guild if you can’t grasp this simple concept.

3: Mark a target to be focused down for trash. If they are going to do a dangerous move, they are going to start sparkling to let you know hey, I shouldn’t be in this dudes way. If you are just dodging every stupid attack then you deserve to die. Learn the attacks you need to dodge and you’ll find that trash is simple. I spend 1-2s a run, if that, on repairs, except in TA because the Hell Blossoms get me a lot more then they should.

4: Bugs I can agree with you on. ANet is working to fix them though so give it time. I’ve only had it happen to 1 person and all he did was re-enter once and bam, he was in with us. If you find a bug report it in game, or in the bug reporting forums.

5: I’ve gone dagger/dagger on my ele so I have to be pretty close in order to get anything done. If a boss is going to do something dangerous it’s easy to see. Generally they are going to stop and wind up while sparkeling. If you can’t see it then turn the animation, I think that’s what it is, down in the visual options to make it easier for you. If you see a guy with a sword start to pull it back, chances are you’re going to need to move quick.

6: I would like it if they had some form of DR on trash abilities to make it where you can’t be chain CC’ed. It does suck when a group seems to do nothing but CC 1 person over and over again. Then again, if they’re getting you they aren’t after anyone else so it’s kind of a good thing. ;-)

@Xetelian, you shouldn’t be trying to dodge everything. Only certain things are worth dodging. Learn them and save your endurance for them. If a guy is shooting you with an arrow, don’t dodge that. If he starts pulling back for a huge attack, get ready to dodge. If you waste your endurance on the basics you’re going to end up dead from lack of endurance.

If someone in your party goes down, go revive them before they die. Don’t do that if it’s not safe to do it. If you’re having a huge problem with stuff like that, get some of the Salsa food buffs to give you more hp whien downed. I have 100% more hp when downed and 20% dmg increase. That’s generally more than enough time for my team to revive me. Also, get the potions. If you’re doing TA then get the potions that reduce damage from the Nightmare Court. That’s 10% less damage to you and 10% more damage to them. They’re extremely cheap too.

Don’t go in with glass cannon specs. Those will get you killed over and over again. If you’re in a good group you can pull it off with berserkers, if you’re not then have Knights armor for the added toughness. I love using Soldier crests as they give power/vit/tough which goes nicely with my knights armor. I’m working on getting the AC armor set as I love that it has power/vit/tough on it! I’m an ele and I have over 16k hp and 1k toughness, toughness might be higher as I’m not logged in atm. If you’re going in in berserkers gear with ruby crystals, or something similiar, then you’re going to die. That’s not ANet’s fault.

Learn your combo fields. They will save you time and money!

Just quoting this for ppl who scroll all the way down cuz it’s 100% true and a perfect response.

The only things that need to change in dungeons, are the extremely annoying token bugs, but I guess monday that’ll finally be over.

I waited over 60 hours to complete a dungeon run. Did TA path and got 45.
Hell, better than 5.

story – explorable

Velius.3791:

In my opinion, the diminished returns system simply should be disabled/removed until a working fix can be implemented. The playerbase shouldn’t be penalized for someone else’s mistakes.

I do agree though, is it really much trouble to switch to the old system for a couple more days? (allowing certain exploits, but at least not punishing undeserved)

Flakey.4892:

9) I like to play with least amount of stuff on my screen so i can enjoy the world more. I choose small interface. When i acces the trade post the font is so small and garbled i need to put on reading glasses. Please adjust the trader font for people who have a the smallest interface.

Ctrl + Shift + H

I quest like that

Inci.7560:

I really don’t get why people don’t want to run dungeons because they feel it’s not rewarding. I used to farm dungeons for 15 kittening tokens at release. Now you get 60 every route. That’s 180 tokens. I had to run 12 times for that amount of tokens.

Wtf spoiled much.

Waw grats, that’s so nice.

It’s even nicer to have 4 ppl in my party like you, receiving 60 tokens, while I get 10, or 5.
It’s not only ‘not rewarding’ it’s just plain taste destruction because I often feel myself as the most valuable member in PUG groups (everyone dies 3 – 4 times and I just keep on soloing the boss until they’re back so it does not reset….)

Knowing that those players who don’t bother reading the chat for tactics get literally three times as much tokens as me is just taking away my will to play the game.

Hell, guild wars is not open right now as usually it just continually is. I’m just checking forum for dev updates and filling my time until I can enjoy dungeons again so that I’m no longer being the martyr of injustice.

I could’ve gotten my set already 2 times… It’s basically “what I want to do in this game”, and now I just don’t enter dungeons because I have a chance of getting just 5 tokens (yeh, not a joke).

I missed over 200 tokens because of this bug and never did more than 5 runs in one day.

There used to be frequent updates on this issue which was kinda consolidating.

Please update something or let us know something .. Beg ..

PLEASE UPDATE US on the current information!

More than 30 hours have passed with no news at all. This is killing my mood!

Lol valdamus what did you expect? They even personally replied to you.

You’re not extra special to get a personal patch you know ..

I didn’t do the boss yet, hope it’s not getting nerfed because one team can’t beat it?

Can we get another post from Dev about the progression of this bug solving?

As other people pointed out, this is kind of keeping me from doing any dungeon at all..

As soon as I found some good people for the dungeon I do most, I added them to friend list. This reduced the time searching for a group by 62.8%

I hope the moderator does not mean everything is working as intended??
Can we do like … Only 2 dungeons a day? It seems like you have to wait for more than 24 hours to do another dungeon?

Coredusk.3156:

I just did another TA run, my last run was at 2 o clock at night [so 15 hours ago!!] and I received 15 tokens!

I have to averagely do 3X the amount of runs as someone else to receive the same amount of tokens. This is truly horrible.

I don’t even dare entering other dungeons as it’ll only reduce the tokens I receive for the set I want in the end.

Next run, same path (just for the test) I received 5 tokens! FIVE!
That’s merely a boss kill worth pre-patch.
I preferred old patch.. I got more tokens..

About 18 hours ago, Twilight Arbor explorable, different paths.
Received 30 tokens, next run (other path) 15, next run (other path) 10.
Teammates received 60 tokens each run (with exception of one receiving 45 some runs).

Did Ascalonian Catacombs about 16 hours ago, for the first time in weeks, and received 30 tokens where teammates received 60.

After daily reset I did Twilight Arbor again and received 30 instead of 60.

Thanks

black sun empress.7401:

Would really love a marker on the map like in guild wars 1 Vanquisher you would get a red helmet on the map overview for the area and then a gold helmet and crossing swords to let you know you completed the area.

You’re a mindreader! Those are my words!

I received 30 tokens for my first run of the day.

The biggest frustration is that I need 50 more for my piece! And next time I run i’ll get 15 then 10 so now I need to do 3 runs every day to get the tokens as of 1 run =(

I really hope we’ll get the missing tokens afterwards, cause this is REALLY beginning to feel like a farm xD

Same as stated above

You’ll always have to kill them poor rabbits for your daily kill variety =( And some genocides here and there of course!

I didn’t do ascalonian catacombs for weeks, and I received 15 tokens upon completing explorable today.

What amazing rant and Q.Q from everyone, my gosh!

Lvl 80 golds are just fine, casuals!!

I can play again! Thanks alot to everyone who worked on this =D I find the response time rather quick.

As Pie said.. ‘Serious’ is relative bro, I can’t play at the moment, people die at the moment (that’s a bug!)

I’ve had this problem as well, and it disappeared just as randomly as it happened.

I think it works earlier after server reset, and bugs later on.

Parvati.5780:

Stuck loading screens can occur after a sudden disconnect. At a command prompt launched as admin type this:
ipconfig /flushdns

Once that’s done, try loading the game then character again.

I have the same problem as stated above, and unfortunately this did not work for me.

Waow.. that’s negative. I’m sure you did not crank up any staff member’s will to personally address you or want to fix this faster.

Elementalist: Can’t hit them with chain lightning (air 1) but can hit them with fire 1 & earth 1. You need projectiles starting high enough or going in a nice arc. Those flowers respawn time is pretty sick indeed though =D

Need a good team for this! Active flowerkilling, efficient target bursting, good dodging (not in the flowers).

I’m always up for runs for explorable if anyone’s interested!

If everyone is so upset about it, and apparently even CRYING about it into their night of sleep, then do NOT do dungeons!

If you hate it, don’t do it! Lol, easy! noobs

When I entered any dung with some guildies, we learned after each wipe, and it went better each time.

You gotta figure the right tactics and it feels so great when it actually happens. Had one dungeon with inquest (don’t remember which one) which was totally insane because there were like 10 mobs with champion health and a bomb-throw-spam for each of them, however besides that I didn’t find anything unbeatable.

A dungeon path where we used to wipe 5 – 6 times now works fine without dieing.

I suggest ranters spend more time practicing & thinking than ranting, as even I think some dungeons might be too hard, I don’t want nerfs because I’m afraid of the challenge drop; I’d rather have things stay this way.

Rewards are great, in system, quality and number, don’t know what more you’d want.
Maybe a sort of dungeon finder would be nice, where you could queue for a dungeon team and meanwhile quest and continue until you find a party.
