Guild Wars 2

Not impossible, completed the dungeon earlier. However, while not impossible, its completely unbalanced.

CoF needed beefed up, and besides the fuse event its very nice now. Having to actually do the lava room is good. A bit harder instance is good. But that room is absolutely ridiculous.

The only way to complete it is a death/run back chain. You cannot kill the mobs fast enough. Its simply not possible. You can kite them, but it was balanced before where you’d become almost overwhelmed just as it reached 100%. Now, mobs spawn at the same rate but the timer is only 50% as fast. This means you become overwhelmed at around 50% and still have to deal with the other 50%.

It was a completely blind and wreckless way to buff the instance. I seriously doubt it will stick. I’d hope Anet isn’t that foolish.

You sound much more reasonable, but what I’m trying to figure comparing to before patch – if a group utilised a new set of (defensive) skills and weapons just for that kiting-room event, with all the slowing, kitting, stunning, speed boosting, blocking, stealth, golems and other nifty tricks it’s possible to have the room under complete control at 100% and no one has to die.
Ress runs and getting overhelmed at 100% was perfectly timed for random party, with no initiative to adopt (or simply no skills dispoasable yet); that is true tho.

“Exotic” doesn’t realy mean that much. Since there are different stat sets on exotics and different trait paths to make you more tanky – could you please state how many toughness, vitality and armor you have when you get 2 hitted? That would say much more.
Also have you actualy checked combat chat for “2 hitted”? Or were just 5 mobs hitting you at once maybe?

I’m sure they are looking into this and thinking how to improve. And it’s ok that people point it out, I’m just disgusted how many gamers in these threads only know how to spit anger and rage when a few pixels were denied.

I thought the whole point of GW2 was that we can run anything with practically any job? I challenge them to post a vid of them doing this dungeon with just mesmers. Trait them however you want but just use mesmers.

You can have the best composition but people will still fail. So it’s realy not class specific.
CoF is now harder, peopel basicaly got kitten slaped out of easy mode. Now it’s time of adaptation and one of the easiest things to do is open forums and write threatening posts hiding behing internet anonimity.

Now it’s up to devs, revert back or let people adapt ingame. I vote for second. Much more fun.

I mean a normal PvE gamer will just go do something else and return when better prepared or when things get balanced and bugs ironed out.
It’s realy not the end of world, there are many other dungeons to run.

Something you blind/mindless fanboys are not getting through your head is. This event IS impossible to clear with the intended conditions. You can not lie your way through this one. All the people complaining about the patch, knows the pain this dungeon causes. You CAN NOT kill the mobs before more mobs spawn. And if you manage to beat the event IT IS without a doubt, done with corpse running while one person holds out. That is NOT the intended design. Stop defending a terrible patch. Think about what you are accepting. If you do not stop this now, it will only get worse.

Yeah, exaclty. I fear we will be needing a Test server for players that want to test such dramatic changed like this first and maybe leave feedback instead of applying it to the real client and making so many people angry.

Most of these angry people would farm their shinies as fast as possible and move on to new game when there’s nothing better to farm anymore.
So there’s no real loss.

Im talking about WvW, a lot of people are just doing their dungeons so they can get nice WvW gear. No one cares about PVE endgame, at least I dont. I’ve never seen anyone say that all they are going to focus on is a PVE orientated playstyle

People who like WvW and dislike dungeons but spend time running dungeons are nothing but confused, unless..

they are simply just pixel hunters.
From all the GW2 fan hype I thought GW2 is all about FUN, not loot?

No we are not, we spend so much time in a game why not look cool doing it? I for one do not want plain old beserker gear the whole time when i PvP in my end game. So im going for the dungeon gear now.

Umm, you don’t like dungeon runs and you don’t care about em at all, but you will still go there. Why? As you jsut said, you want to get pixels in there.
Meaning you are pixel hunter.

Not only that but it seems you’re confused as well.
So I was right AND right.

As I said and I repeat, a great change.

I don’t think anyone said there will be no balancing and bug fixing tho. I’m sure they will fine tune it.
On the other hand I don’t mind if the requirement to go in there is a bit more than a set of 80 greens.
I mean seriously, getting a FULL set of best (exotic) gear is one of the easiest things I ever seen in an mmo (by crafting/buying it of crafters).

And ofc can’t forget that every player is dps, tank and healer in one. I think too many people still expect someone else to heal and tank for them.

Yes everyone HAS TO grind dungeons, you hear!? You HAVE TO OR ELSE

I swear these people….

Ahahaha

I’m having a bucket of omnomnomnombarries.
All the “pixel kittens” crying cos the shinies won’t be handed over anymore.

And there I was thinking GW2 is played by people who don’t care about pixels but FUN only.

All in all great change! Keep it up ANet but don’t take too long balancing and bug fixing!

Good change which was expected (and needed to prevent exploiting content made unintentionaly too easy), even discussed on these forums a while ago.
