What We Are About:
We are a group of friendly like minded people coming together to play this wonderful game! We are all about the community feel, hanging out and just shooting the breeze while exploring the many facets of Guild Wars II.
We believe that a game is just a game, but the group you play with should be a place you want to come to after a long day at school/work. It should be a job and it shouldnt stress you out. Its about being laid back and talking about any thing and nother. Its about getting to know eachother and being random. Its about FUN!
Now don’t let this make you think we cannot accomplish any goals we set. Many of us have a great deal of gaming and MMO experience, especially with reguards to “Raiding”.

Thanks Folks,

Co-Leader Warcry
I love it when people jump to saying things like" you have no skill. The xxxxx am out of people complaining about x issue or x issue should just l2p ( learn to play ) ect.
Let’s cast aside all of the misconceptions so many people have about gamers today.
Many if not most people who play an mmo today, are not hardcore. Many have jobs, many have kids, and many hold real life over a game. This is simply how it is. Now this is not me saying the hardcore players do not matter, in fact they matter just as much as any other player.
That being said, throwing hateful/elitist comments at the mass vocal majority solves no issue and only creates even greater divides in the two different sub-sub cultures.
Any way to my point: story mode should be more possible and less frustrating for moderately geared pugs than it currently is. I don’t think we should be able to speed run them to get the best gear possible in a couple of days, but I think the rewards should outweigh the cost of running the am dungeons. It’s an opinion, doesn’t make it right, doesn’t make it wrong. But from over 15 years playing games online Incan say this: if ya ignore the majority, you loose the majority.
I think it could only help to tune down story mode. Many casual players, who make up the majority not the minority, enjoyed being able to find a pickup group to run through a story mode dungeon. Its nice to be able to run through something like that, but not have to get wiped out repeatedly. Also, it really isn’t fun when your the lowest level in a pickup group (50+) and you still manage to pull most of the aggro. This means as it is currently tuned, I have to attack and then run my butt off, and return to igniting once the other team members have gotten enough aggro that I won’t get one shotted by all of the trash mobs.
I run mostly blues and greens with a couple of rates. At level 40-60 most people arent going to waste the amount of gold required to outfit them selfs in all rares at level.
You want to suffer, get frustrated, ect by the “challenge”? Great, do it in explore mode, let’s make story mode a bit more possible for pickup groups, especially for those of us with really busy real lives. ( Full Time College student with a part time job six days a week )
Posted from my iPhone, please let’s not pick on the typos and focus on the discussion.

Still a lot of rage on the forums… I’ll say this, it may be the majority of players who are still playin that feel abet messed up in doing what they did. It might also be the minority. However, in any situation it was the vocal minority that was asking for them to modIfy the mode in the direction it was modified in. Now they have no choice but to suffer the backlash.
Why does this even suppose you, honestly? Many MMOs do the same thing when they start getting the minority hat rushed to top level jumping up and down because it’s to eats for lower levels to level/get geared out. This is how People are….
Wall of text? While it is their game:
1) they said we will be able to play how we want and that the game didnt center around the typical hardcore gamer, a casual player should be able to play any element is what I get from this.
2) When you consider that if people don’t play their game because the are changing elements in a massive way, and not for the betterment of te game. It is their game, but if they want to continue making Money from gems and other titles, they need to be less heavy handed.
They broke the dungeons acrossed the board. We just have to wait a few days for them to either roll the changes back or at least dumb down the mob spammed skills/dps a bit. And in all honesty, about half the people who have quit running dungeons most likely wont run them again until the rewards are fixed.
A lot of rage on these threads. Honestly theres a good reason to be angry about it. I know why they did what they did, but they used a block buster bomb to fix something a bb could have fixed.
Breaking content, or making it 4x harder for little to no reward in the long run does not promote people playing said content. It also does not inspire great confidence in your ability to understand what the majority of your customers want.
In regards to the people saying things like “They already have your money, what do they care?” They may not, and I hope thats not true because in the end ArenaNet, as far as I am aware, does not intend on closing their doors, they plan on making more games. If this recent patch equates to what they will be doing through the life of this game, it will end up making the consumers leery of buying other titles from this company.
Now, to play devils advocate:
The game is new, and they are scrambling to fix a ton of issues they have had since launch. Give it time and they may very well find the happy medium that we need. If not, then I will consider not being a “loyal customer”
As a side note, I have purchased gems, about 30 bucks a week, to purchase gold off the exchange for my guild. I will no longer be doing so, especially until they either roll back these changes and slowly find the happy medium needed, or un-EXPLICATIVE what they messed up this patch.
3/10 – Its pretty much pointless to play them now. Its too difficult for a pug team that isnt a bunch of pre-made builds rocking mostly rare gear at 10-20 levels higher than the “required level”
Spammed with fear and one shotted for 1/3 or the instance isnt fun.
Unlike some on the forums, my pug team managed to get through CM, but we died way too much and it ended up costing us money.
Well I will say there is alot of rage all over the forums on the dungeon issue. I agree partially with many people on that I think the dungeons are broken. I really have a nagging suspicion that its heavily based on the fact that many people who ground up to level 80 then raged on the forums about the dungeons being too easy.
The point is that people could pug a dungeon/“dynamic event” now, this is very unlikely. I did manage to make it through CM with a pug group of high 40’s, me at level 50, and a level 73 who was decently geared ( He died the most ). We got wiped 10-20 times a piece. Sometimes one-shotted. Sometimes we were spammed with fear and could do nothing but die over and over.
Long story short, you don’t make it 4x harder, give have the exp, half the money, crap for loot, and add diminishing returns and expect that any one other than high level characters who are geared and spec’d to a pre-made build will want to run them for any reason whatsoever.
I understand they want to drive you to the gem store, I understand they don’t want the marketplace flooded with too much gold. However, when trying to get something this complex correct, you don’t bounce between extremes. You change things a little here and there to adjust it and find where the happy medium is.
They used a blockbuster bomb where they should have used a bb gun.
Not to seem extreme on my opinion here, but they broke the dungeons. As I said in a previous post, if they wanted the dungeons to be End Game Content, or to require very well geared level 60+’s, they should set the minimum level to 60 and warn you its very challenging/pointless with the drops, gold, and exp you gain now.
In a group with people well over the “required level” all of which were geared decently, we got wiped 10 times, spammed with fear, and pretty much decided en-mass that the dungeons were now a pointless thing to do until level 80.
In all honesty, I can understand they don’t want people farming CM in mass, but seriously… If they wanted every one to do the dungeons as End Game Content, or they require all rares and at least level 60, they should be set to level 60. Not level 30, 40, 50, ect.
