Guild Wars 2

They should not implement gear that has MF without any reduction on other stats.
Like you previously mentionned, AR only matters in 1 area. MF affects everywhere.
What will be the point to have MF in the first place if the stat exist in every single piece of gear?
If they were to implement Mf without any stat reduction, wouldn’t it be easier for them to just boost the drop rate and remove MF completely (which is basically what you are asking).
I think MF is fine as it is, they just need to nullify the MF effect in dungeons.

How is resetting a fractal an exploit? You obviously, like always, love using the word “exploit” and “cheat”. You should maybe research what they actually mean.

LFk.1408:

I concur with the general sentiment of leaving it be for now, until broader tweaks follow.

I recently saw people complaining about fractal 50 difficulty, which boggles the mind.
As of right now, the FoTM is designed with an infinite difficulty in mind. I hope no one is actually taking this to mean that we are supposed to send the Fractal Difficulty Scale into integer overflow.

There are two barriers, the hard ceiling and the soft ceiling that should prevent you from further progress.

The hard ceiling is something that is, for all appearances, impossible to overcome. This is meant to be there, you are not meant to go further. The Jade Maw agony around 50 seems to be a good example of this. I’m not at this level. Some have claimed to be on a higher level. Revive orbs may work to get around this. Who knows, but I feel reasonably sure that at some point, guaranteed agony and/or damage will serve as an instant party wipe to the extent where further progress is extremely impractical.

They should have either cap fractal to 50 or not gate us to 50 when the hard cap, at this moment is 80.

9 days and yet no fix on this issue. We just wasted 1 hour on fractal lvl 37 because our dc player can’t get back inside…

Or fix the repair canister crashing people. We had to do jademaw 27 with people being half naked because they couldn’t use their repair canister in fear of getting disconnected.
(We got disconnected at the end of our 3rd fractal on scale 25 due to canisters)

i would like an invite please joxzy

I also got disconnected from the game (and not my internet connection). I couldn’t log back in until 5 mins ago and at that point, the chest was already gone.

This is a video of us doing it and it was quite a while ago

It has been posted multiple times that it is possible to kill all the mobs in this encounter.

tell your group to go back to the entrance

it’s fixed

The fact that you believe you’re part of “an elite group on your server” really makes me wonder if you know what ego is.

You quoted my post saying how I can clear it under 25mins and posted that basicly I’m a “beggar” for my 60 tokens, that I am unworthy of wearing Arah armor and I play like a newbie.
I understand that you dislike people speed clearing dungeons, but don’t go out and insult people that are doing it saying they are unworthy of “your” armor.
And the fact that you assume we don’t know what the trash mobs do and you want to white knight us and hold our hands and explain what trash mobs do just makes me wonder if you can comprehend what you’re reading.

Your posts makes 0 sense, in any context or form. They are very incoherent and inconsistent.

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

Bro, go in peace, i (nor anyone else) gives a kitten of who you are and what you did and your “only video on internet” (which doesn’t means you and your group are the only one able to perform it, but i guess you’re having difficulties to get it haha ).

I have made 0 indication of this is only capable by us. I guess we are having difficulties???

Looking your attitude, you seems quite proud of your video, acting like if you video was a unique pearl ( i hope i will figure out which one haha )
and you some kind of elite or pro. One day you will figure out : when your elitefriends/guildies are offline, you’re a noone like any other on LA with an exotic armor, and with your attitude, a loner haha

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

This thread, and my posts HERE are EXCLUSIVELY related to speedrun as SKIPPING 80% of the content. And this is the second time i have to type it.

1. 80% content?? this is second time I have said this, show me anything about this being done, anywhere, please. Is this 80% something you just randomly came up? did you divide time spent on each section by total length? is this related to something you posted previously about path 3 being skipped??

2. So all your “pathetic” "25 min noobpath “beggar’s run” are referring to something completely different? I guess there are so many evidence of this being done everywhere that my huge ego just prevented me from seeing it.

If you don’t even know what i’m talking about and how a speedrun is excecuted, don’t make me waste my time

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

If you’re begging me to give you an answer and peace, send me via PM a link of your video , and if i have time i’ll comment on it and we can have a discussion.

You can look it up yourself if you want to learn a thing or two.

ME learn. From you. Right. Lolz

I truly believe you will understand ( sooner or later) your video now you’re so proud (looking forward to see it hahaha ) will be just a source of fixes for Anet devs. So we will have a patch with classes underpowered, path harder on every exact part of your video when you’re powning adds, a pug way harder than it is today. Congrats lolz. Now you’re proud of it, enjoy till last

He is talking about this thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Arah-rewards-and-YOU/first#post456542

To make it easier on you, I will quote you :

I will add a point 3 to the OP post (expecially after that video)

3: Anet, fix ASAP giganticus and adds AI not allowing anymore any speedrun nor wp corpse-runs.

Bring back the glory to this dungeon, put an end on those pug and people even opening threads like this asking a cheaper faster way to get this armor. Please.

I hope I helped you understand what he’s talking about

(Btw, I never said you couldn’t run arah, read my post twice before you get on your high horse.)

ProAlex.4723:

Well, last time I checked you can’t craft precision, toughness, condition damage light armor and there is only one set you can’t buy on TP but it is like 40-60 gold for full set. So it is either running Arah or farming gold for ages. I may be wrong, though.

TA also have those stats for light armor

A funny story of my experience in a pug group. We were doing path 1 of COF and we were at the part right after the acolyte where you have to put 3 flames in some bowl. My friend mesmer that came with me decided to make it easier on the pugs and put a portal. 2 pugs (I think they were friend? I’m not sure) took the portal without taking the flames. It gave me a good laugh.

You go from getting hit for 10k on 3400 armor to 7k.. It’s a 3k difference. I don’t understand how, my group, all 5 players wearing almost no survivability gear, maybe some beryl jewel (for more vitality) and with base toughness gear can do the fight without a problem. You make it seems like it’s impossible to do the entire encounter without kiting.
Like I wrote earlier, we have attempted the fight with no armor on, which is basicly base defense and we could take 2 hits.
You want to tell me you’re running around with 3.4k armor and no hp?

Lupicus doesn’t reset in 2secs just fyi. You can easily roll on the side too and still be in range to hit him so he doesn’t reset.

I am not talking about the sparks switching targets, I’m talking about the fact that you can just pull Simin outside of the room and kill her, which means completly ignoring the part where players have to trigger the circles around the statue. I believe the way dev intended players to do the sparks in the circles little puzzle and not just ignore it.

So, explain to me how the trash in wow is not the same as in gw2, I fail to understand the difference. How is gw2 trash part of the dungeon but not in wow?

First of all, you didn’t need a specific group setup for last boss in COF path 1 pre-nerf. You only needed someone that could apply chill and poison on the boss.
Giganticus Lupicus won’t reset if one person is hitting him. Clearly, he is reseting because no one in your group is hitting him.
Please, explain to me why do you want people to clear the entire room before Giganticus when the drops are awful?
Is this the first mmo you’ve ever played? Clearly skipping unecessary mobs is not new to mmo players.
You’re asking the dev to fix trash to make the dungeon harder? It makes absolutely no sense. An easy way to make a dungeon hard is to put enrage timers to bosses.

Edit: I really like how you forgot to mention Simin. Obviously the bruteforce way is the correct way right? the sparks and the circles around the statue are just for looks.

I was getting hit for 10k when I was wearing no armor doign the bombing strat. Clearly, you are doing something wrong.

Which boss is bugged in path 4 and 2?

So you make a thread just to mock people? typical

Because you’re supposed to kill the mobs inside and not just run around.

Path 2 is the easier one after Path 3.

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

Path 3 noobpath skipping all, ye. Hoping on a strong fix soon.

Sorry we are able to do Arah under 25mins and you can’t.

I don’t think my friend changed options. At 12:02 it was probably a camera angle but for the rest of the fight, my camera zoomed out for about the same.

Arah can be done under 25mins.

@ Arcades Saboth, the camera should be zoomed out when you fight him. And no, we don’t use any mod.

I don’t like the gorilla boss :<

This is the video of us doing path 3 under 25mins

I don’t get why not having a healer and a tank in your group is making dungeons being trash, please explain your reasoning behind it.

It’s not hard if you have someone that keeps poison on her tbh. It was challenging to do the way they designed it.

We have tried the bombing encounter wearing no armor (only jewels and weap) and we still managed to get it to 80% and without armor (losing a lot of defense) you basicly get hit for 10k.

There is a better way to do it, you kill the mobs that spawn. There has been videos posted about this encounter.

The easiest thing to do would be to just kill everything

I think Light and Medium armor looks far better than Heavy. I feel like they didn’t put too much work on heavy armor at all.

For Simin, you have to be fast on the sparks for her to not heal that much and have a group that is spec to only do damage., potion/food help a ton.
As for the other path, we do arah path 3 in under 25mins and the other paths in under 1h.

Gorge Express.7163:

If he’s instantly downing a player with 22k hp, then he must’ve eaten a lot of grubs.

He was +2 Empowered.

Well, there you go, obviously you played poorly and let him eat 2 grubs

He NEVER one shoted me or anyone in my group. If you read the description, he basicly used almost all his abilities on me so it’s “normal” for me to go down since I will be out of roll.
My first down was actually 2 hit of the circles, not 1 shot. Everything he does is avoidable, you just need to spec and play properly.
There is no way you’re getting one shot with 22k HP.

And how am I trolling you when I posted a video on how we did it?
It’s not overtuned, you just need to know his abilities and know when to roll / avoid red circles on the ground.

You are clearly doing something wrong, its either you actually don’t know the strat for the boss or you’re full glass cannon with 10k hp .
Here is a video of Giganticus Lupicus:

He is fine once you know his abilities, it’s not hard to watch where he faces and dodge red circles.

7 hours for path 4? how ?

+15% bleed duration on both runes doesn’t work.

They are definitly working, I transmuted my items yesterday. Are you sure you’re using the proper transmutation stones for level 80 required items?

Ebon.7641:

I think this boss is a little overtuned as well, especially on path 1 where you can’t pull him closer to a waypoint, and the waypoint is 10 minutes away. The rest of the dungeon is fun, difficult, but then you get to this guy and it’s just a brick wall. I won’t even step in Arah again until some changes are made with this guy, it just isn’t fun at all :\

Have you ever thought that you’re not supposed to kite him to a waypoint and zerg him down and instead, fight him in his room?

Sidu.9708:

yup I’ve just “emo quited” from arah path 3. I was doing it for 3 hours with players that can play cuz they are my friends. But bcuz of bad setup we can’t do it?? I’t lame!! W eall have full exotic. Boss should be nerfed…

This post is everything that’s wrong with this community…

:(

Full exotics is NOT “I WIN” in this game. It gives an edge, but you still have to play smart, and pay attention. If you are used to WoW where the UI played the game for you, and are unwilling to change, you will definitely have a bad time.

man can u read? I wrote I did it with my team and we are skilled. So it’s skill + exotic ==’

We clear it every day in under 30mins, obviously something is wrong with you and your friends.

Has anyone actually used Glyph of renewal after the patch?

We have absolutely no issue running with 1 guardian and 1 warrior in our group.
I don’t know if you’re serious about asking for an aegis on a 10sec cd.
Though I do see the clear gap between range and melee.

@vicwolf.7862 what level are you and what is your group setup?

Milennin.4825:

I don’t know, but it seemed to come down to luck. Almost every time she’d go into stealth at 50%, except for a few times when we didn’t really do anything different than all the other times. But then you get stuck on her going into stealth at 25% all the time. So I’m guessing you need luck to get past that bit as well.

We have killed Simin multiple times, so it isn’t “pure luck”.

I am playing on an american server being in europe without fiber optic and yet, I don’t get any MS issues.
As for COF, this is a video that shows you that it is definitly possible to do the fight the way devs intended us to do it:
