Well, thanks for the advice everyone.
Since the suggestions sub forum is locked down, I’m posting my suggestion here. I have been exploring MMO sites when I found Guild Wars 2 in one of them. The site said it had plenty of pros and some cons. However there was one con I truly agree with. Three words: PAINFULLY DIFFICULT DUNGEONS . It’s completely true, every dungeon is like a massacre to your characters, and it’s expensive when it comes to repairing your expensively powerful armor. The dungeons have several mobs that adapt to situations as well, environmental hazards that tend to kill the whole party entirely, and some bosses that can summon entire armies to force the whole party to quit. The worst dungeon of all would be Arah because of its explore mode. There are whole hoards of risen waiting around every corner, plenty of the mid-bosses tend to adapt after every encounter, and the final boss is painfully unpredictable, the dungeon is like 95% impossible to beat in explore mode. So, that’s my suggestion, just make the dungeons a little more survivable.
Hey guys, any advice on how an engineer can survive in Arah on all paths? The last party I went with managed to get through the Forgotten path, but we got our butts kicked by Giganticus Lupicus.
I never pictured the Sylvari as a religious group, they are a new race anyway, so they wouldn’t know what a religion actually is. The Pale Tree is just that, a tree. Everything it does is just through natural causes. So, all Sylvari are just brothers and sisters while the tree itself is their mother. The pods that Sylvari come from are actually The Pale Tree’s seeds, the Sylvari are plants and plants come from seeds. Then there are the dreams of the Sylvari, somehow the tree manages to connect them, but after all, new plants means they have unknown properties. But they did base The Dream off of something that’s somewhat true; dreams can be symbolic. They could tell what is wrong with your life, this way you’d know to change your ways (or not). The Sylvari are unique in there own way because they just stand out from other races, and try to be kind as they can be (unlike the hard-headed Charr who think war is everything, and the ego-maniacal Asura who has a horrible inferiority complex, no offense but it’s the truth).
I heard, the Toxic Tower, the Bloody Prince, much chaos has happened while I was fighting the Ascians and Garlean Empire in Eorzea (both from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn). But I see things are MUCH worse here.
Hello everyone, it’s been I don’t know, like a year, since I have played this game. I am coming back to the game after taking a break from it. For those of my friends who don’t remember me, my original character is a Sylvari named Golden Nightshade.
Also, I’m not a liar. I just like role playing, but it seems I might have overdid my character’s personality.
Look, I’m not trying to sabotage anything, and I did not ask for initiation to the colleges. I just thought the question I had was interesting, and I wanted to see what your answers would be. Knowing Asura, they actually turn just one question into a conversation or an argument, which I find interesting. I am actually a great appreciator of your technology, certainly more sophisticated than Charr machinery. I’m a big fan of the Asuran race actually, it amazes me to see so much intelligence in a single race.
Hey, at least I’m TRYING to be nice. You guys on the other hand are behaving like snobs. I was right, you don’t know the meaning of “All things have a right to grow.” So, I’m going to tell you the meaning. It means almost everyone has their rights, those who abuse those rights don’t have the right to grow. Asuras are not the only ones with special knowledge. Charr know how to build war machines, Sylvari know how to build friendships, Humans know how to build up societies, and Norn know how to build alliances. All races are equal in skill, but different on using them.
Look, I’m sorry about all this arguing. I just thought my question was interesting. But considering the fact that Asura are to egoistic to have a friendly conversation with, I fear posting this question was a mistake. I just want to start an interesting conversation, but it turned into an argument. I hope we can just forgive each other, and just continue the conversation in a friendly manner. Agreed?
HOLD EVERYTHING!!!!! Can’t you see this discussion is starting to turn into an argument? All races of Tyria are equal in their skills, but they way they use them makes them uniquely different. But, bragging about those skills would just start a war in Tyria. The dragons want everyone to fight each other while they take over. Lets just end this conversation and make sure the dragons don’t get what they want. Agreed?

I was treated like an Inquest Asura when I brought up a question (why can’t other races join the Asuran colleges?) that wasn’t a bad question at all. I told them MY inquest guild is meant to bring peace, not chaos. I try so hard to be nice, but now their egos are starting to infuriate me. I even told them the meaning of inquest and to look it up. Inquest means judicial inquiry, it is not a short name for inquisition.
What do you guys think is the best civilization/race, based on culture and economy rather than skills and questlines?
I think the Asura are the current winners, but will be triumphed by the sylvari at some point.Sylvari are potent to become the master race in Tyria. They’ve only been around for 25, yet they have a capitol and are present all over the world. The dream is a better alternative to our genes, instead of giving characteristics to future generations, the dream provides the entire knowledge the race has gathered and also gives them direction and purpose in life. Imagine what greatness they would achieve in another 25 years. The only problem is that we don’t know yet how the nightmare court and the 6th dragon are linked.
The Charr have a great industrial economy, but their entire civilization is based on war. Our history has shown us cultures like that tend to collapse rather fast…
Humans fail on all fronts, they’ve lost every recent battle they had and even their own religion has abandoned them.
Norns are awesome, but they are just a bunch of drunk vikings.Sylvari potential to dominate Tyria in the future? HAHAHAHAHA. Yeah… no, they are vegetables. As soon as the dragon threat is delt with, either the Charr or the Asura will nuke the Pale Tree and it will be glorious.
It’s either Charr or Asura who will conquer Tyria in the future, to put it simply, the one who manages to pay more Norn to on their side (but it will probably the Charr, as the have a mutual respect for each other, while no one is willing to work with the arrogant Asura for long).
There is also Palawa Joko and his undead minions, they seem to be doing pretty good, fighting of dragon minions and ruling Elona with an iron (yet mummified) fist.
And one should not forget Cantha, maybe weakened by the isolation, but who knows, maybe they are stronger than ever, ready to retake all of Tyria in the name of humanity?
Don’t you even think about nuking the pale tree. By doing so, you would be destroying Tyria’s ecosystem. Therefor, you would be killing yourselves.
The point I was making is that it wasn’t the REACTOR that caused the explosion, it was cultural contamination! Dimensional collapse was never an issue until OUTSIDERS started messing with the Matrix Cube sub-processing interdimensional controls. I’ve seen them! Jumping around the reactor like it is a playground, encouraging young Asura to do the same! Greed and curiosity caused Thaumanova to go critical, not any flaw in Asuran engineering or mathematical magnanimity!
And for the love of balance, it is spelled C-O-L-L-E-G-E
A collage is something human children do to pretend they have multithread attention span capacity and dynamic thought processes.
You and this Leo chap above have alarming tendencies to flaunt Inquest recruiting messages in this thread. I suspect YOU are one of Kudu’s agents!
I am reporting you to the Peacemakers!
I am NOT one of the Inquest. Well, not the bad ones, I created an Inquest guild meant to stop the bad inquest from harming others. We were able to sabotage many of their plans in order to keep them out of trouble, we even caught them trying to sabotage the reactor. Look, if you can’t accept the fact that all things have a right to grow…what am I saying? You don’t know the meaning of the Sylvari lesson “All things have a right to grow.” plus, you didn’t even bother questioning me if I was with those Inquest Asura. Look, even Asura needs help as well. By the way, look up the word inquest. It doesn’t mean inquisition. It means judicial inquiry. Look it up on www.dictionary.com.
As for the Raptor and Egg dilemma, the egg clearly came first as the first “pre-Raptor” laid a mutated “Pre-Raptor Egg” which was not a Pre-Raptor Egg, but in fact a Raptor Egg which hatched a Raptor. If you do not count mutations, then you’re saying "what came first, the tree or the tree?
One simple reason:
Asura have extensive intelligence but lack wisdom.
To accept other races into their institutes would be wise as more minds and ways of thinking will advance knowledge in every aspect as well as learn new and unorthodox methods to approach problems. But if they were wise and intelligent they would be perfect. Their flaw is their inflated egos, their close-mindedness and lack of wisdom.
I’d expect those wishing to learn more of the Asura teachings join the Durmand Priory as they tend to house the wiser of the Asura race and are filled with open-minded scholars willing to learn and teach.
And that’s how our society will fall. We will weaken ourselves to better others? What good will come of that? Tell me, if there were to be a method to incorporate other races in our culture, do you not think it would have been done already?
Actually, your society will fall due to forgetting dangerous outcomes of your most complicated machinery, like that reactor in the Maguma jungle. If I were you, I would just find another source of energy that is safe (like water, solar, wind, heat, or wave power). Oh, and while your at it, tear down that reactor, it will be the death of Tyria if that thing remains operational. I expect it because it was due to the time warping it has been doing. It has been spawning steam creatures, drakes, and chaos materials, not to mention the occasional veterans and that Son of Savnir corrupted warrior. Therefor, your crews would be completely decimated. That reactor was by far a failed project. I’m sorry, but it has to be dealt with.
What could POSSIBLY be unsafe about thermonuclear transmutation of magicointertial energy fields?
Those creatures were the result of the constant middling of the inferior species. As soon as Thaumanova became open to the public for tours, things started to go wrong. Everyone knows that contamination owed to the presence of non-Asuran genetic material causes fluctuations in the dynamocrossfermentation fields that regulate the output of thermonuclear magic energy.
Besides, The Peacemakers would have cleaned the mess up just fine, no one ASKED you outsiders to barge in and start killing things willy nilly!
You don’t understand, that reactor has created a tear in the space-time continuum. It is pretty much going to cause a dimensional collapse or a dimensional veil tear. So, either your collage would cease to exist, or you could be overrun by Inquest agents.

I’m a Sylvari engineer. I have been to your collage, and it was nice. I helped out a lot of your people’s problems, plus i drove off a few inquest agents. Plus, at least (I would have to say 50-85% of them) of them were nice, and not total jerks like the one I have seen in the Mabon Market. He really needs to learn some manners.

P.S. Your race is right, we all have our place in the Eternal Alchemy, which is basically your version of the scientific method. By the way, the best way to rid your golem’s of rust is pine juice. Pine Juice can be purchased from the yellow Hylek of Calledon forest near the lab where they are studying Skritt (the one where Soar Goldbeak is).
I didn’t say the Skritt were dumb. I was making a point. The Skritt are OK, I’m actually fascinated on how Skritt are able to be smart altogether.
All races of Tyria are amazing. Now, if only the could just set aside their differences and work together. But, all I know is that the Sylvari are pretty much the most peaceful race. They don’t argue with others, they try to make friends (unless they are attacked). Also, they aren’t stubborn like the Charr, they aren’t braggers like Asura, they aren’t so prideful that they loose a battle like humans, and they don’t have bad tempers like the Norn. No offense races of Tyria, but you need to learn to get along with each other and not start tearing each other apart with claws, bare hands, or technology. I hope that you try it the Sylvari way, because its more safe to have friends than enemies.

Golden Nightshade, level 60 Sylvari engineer
The most complicated of things may be easy for Asura, but people can learn. Besides, it would be good for the collages’ business when other races come to learn. They would even be proud to learn from Tyria’s smartest race.
Our guild is meant to help Tyria unite. I created this guild to help deal with Tyria’s war issues. Knowing it won’t be easy I know the best way to unite Tyria is to unite the guilds, so, I’m creating a multi-guild alliance. Unfortunately there are those who want to keep Tyria separated, like the Separatists and Flame Legion. It is our job to keep them under wraps and help those in need.
About the guild:
We have guild jobs and assign you to specific locations depending on level.
A little bit new, but getting to success.
We do dungeon runs (when our guild is big enough).
We do events
try to help out other players
Main leaders: A Sylvari, an Asura, a Charr, a Norn, and a Human.
We are an Inquest guild, but we don’t do what the bad Inquest does (fusing sentient beings to machinery).
We do WvW (as soon as we get what we need).
We also try to help each other out, whenever we can.
Main goals: Unit Tyria, reunite Destiny’s Edge, eradicate all sinister orders (Flame Legion, Separatists, the Inquest (the bad Asuras), The Nightmare Court, and The Sons of Savnir.) from Tyria, unite all guilds, and help stop the dragons’ corruption.
Our guild needs all the help we can get. Join us in repelling the corruption of the Elder Dragons.
I was thinking about this for some time. Why not let other races into the Asuran collages? I mean, that would help out alot of people in Tyria. Charr might be able to make better war machines, Humans might get MUCH better educations, Sylvari are always eager to learn everything they can, and the Norn could use all the advancement the can get facing the sons of savnir.
Dungeons are not fun. Plain and simple. I 100% agree with the OP. Now there’s all the elitist GW2 fan boys defending it, as their own ‘challenge’ and that it’s fine as it is.
Far from it.
There’s challenge. And then there’s completely, and utterly stupid. Dungeon’s are simply not fun, because you’re bombarded with knockdowns, stuns, conditions, launches, knockbacks, etc. More than you can handle with the endurance recharge rate, all the stability/cc removal skills. That’s the problem. There is simply NO balance in dungeons.
Now some are saying, players enjoy different parts of the game, while the others enjoy this and that. Why can’t all aspects of the game be fun for everyone? Or at least do-able?
I’ve been playing since pre-launch, and I’ve probably only done half the dungeons. I regret to say each one was a frustrating experience. But why wouldn’t it be, when I’m being cut down in seconds, even in my tank gear/build, from constant AoE and CC?
I can dodge attacks, sure. I can block for a few seconds, ok. Knocked down? I’ll just pop that stability. Conditions on me, heal/remove them. Oh wait. The mobs seem to have no cooldown on any of these abilities, nor a cast bar of some sort (major flaw in the game’s design, KEY aspect of GW1) so I’m unable to react in time. All my major CC removal skills are on minute long cooldowns, while I’m being tossed around like a ball and unable to do anything while everyone’s dying and desperately hoping they can get a revive or two in, before the mobs go on another multi-CC frenzy every second.
The MAIN issue with dungeons is BALANCE. To be fair, ANet hasn’t disappointed me with balance (give or take a few cough OP classes/builds on new expansions cough) and have fixed the problems regarding them (eventually).
Well, inb4 the ‘go l2p nub’ crowd show up, and blindly defend the most terribly flawed area of the game.
Finally!!!! Someone actually agrees that the dungeons are overpowered. I also mentioned that its also wasting our in game money, I mean come on, fixing armor in dungeons ain’t cheap. its like fight, defeated, fix armor, and that pattern will keep repeating until we have no gold, silver, or bronze coins left.
Hey everyone, I’m new to these forums. I have to agree with Nilkemia. She is right, dungeons are by far hard to beat, to make matters worse they have even beaten groups of level 80’s before, I know from experience because I joined a group of them in the lowest level dungeon Ascalonian Catacombs, and we got our butts kicked. Plus, it is throwing away our hard earned in game gold every time we get beaten (because armor breaks with every defeat). I sent a message to customer support about this, they said to try here. So, I made a post about why dungeons are a waist of our in game money.
Hello everyone. I am here to talk about dungeon difficulty. I contacted support about how overpowering it is for players from regular dungeon level, to level 80. To some people who play this game, they think these dungeons are too overpowering, even with level 80 friends helping you all the way. Also, dungeons can really affect your character’s currency. Do you know how expensive it is to fix armor in a dungeon? VERY expensive, accounting from getting your butt kicked several times from the overpowered dungeon enemies. I tried beating a dungeon with level 80 friends, and we got our butts handed to us. -Sigh- I want people to post their opinions on the dungeon difficulty on this topic. Don’t be afraid to give your opinion about the dungeon difficulty in the game. So, who thinks the dungeons are overpowering or just fine?
