Doing a dungeon does not have to mean using a pug. I do dungeons with my guild. You need to find either four other guildies who also want the monthly, or you need to make some friends who like doing dungeons.
Join or make a secondary guild just to do dungeons, and you don’t have to pug when they come up.
I don’t mind dungeons at all, but I hate pugging. So I run dungeons with friends. Doing dungeons with pugs is a whole lot worse than doing dungeons.
I’m in a WvW guild – they generally frown upon you doing PvE, and they don’t like you repping other guilds as you can’t see the CTA in guild chat. Kinda makes doing dungeons a bit of a pita unless I guild quit (which I’d rather not do as I enjoy WvW). If I want to log on and do some PvE I just log in as invisible and do whatever I want – can’t do that with group content.
Quite frankly, if I had to join a guild full of people I didn’t know who are not even remotely my friends just to do dungeons then I may as well be in a PuG. Unfortunately most of my friends didn’t really like the game and went back to WoW; if they were still playing I would happily run the dungeons with them.
So yeah, still WTB solo options for the monthlies; if WvW was offering me alternative monthlies to get laurels, I might feel differently but it’s kinda the redheaded stepchild of GW2 atm.
The monthly shouldn’t force people to do either WvW or dungeons if they don’t enjoy them; they should give us say 6-10 options, and let us pick to complete the 4 we’d enjoy the most.
I fail to see why a forced password change is required on top of the already irritating ‘new IP wait 10 minutes for an email to log in’ thing I already had to put up with.
Suggesting we change it is one thing, but forcing us to do it? Seriously? Makes me wonder if I can even be bothered or I just won’t change it and not bother to log in anymore.
Weird how such a small and meaningless demand can be so infuriating.
Yup the new daily reward scheme seemed cool until I realised it actually screws me over more than the old system. Now I’m losing a useful currency instead of just karma, because they refuse to give us monthly achvs that don’t try to force me into some horrible PuG dungeon.
Is it seriously that hard to give us multiple options for the monthly already? Or to just stop putting in forced group content as one of the achvs?
i am actually glad that Anet created Laurels so i don’t need to farm fotm for it.
Yeah… shame they didn’t remove fractals/dungeons from the monthly so I still won’t be completing it.
WTB four soloable options for the monthly; don’t care if they leave the fractals option in but I wish they’d at least offer an alternative to forced group content.
Yeah…
I was going to get the Ventari/Plushie mini, and then craft myself all the endless tonics.
After wasting 5+ gold on 30 attempts to even get a single endless Griffon tonic, I’ve decided it’s definitely not worth wasting gold on any more attempts.
Shame.
Would love to see soloable dungeons – and no I’m not looking for a dungeon finder, if I wanted to go with rude unforgiving arsey players who expect me to play perfectly on my first time through I can do that already.
Either scaling them to the number of players or giving us extra NPC heroes to fill in the slots like GW1 could be options – I’d love to see hero options like GW1, with maybe some longish personal story type quest chains added in to recruit them.
Maybe in that case I would actually get to see the story modes actual story, without 4 other people whining at me for not skipping the cutscenes – and that’s assuming you even manage to get a story mode group.
Adding breakout without asking the WvW community was just asking for trouble; I certainly don’t know anyone who was requesting for such an event to be added. If anything the logical route would have been to fix the outmanned buff to actually provide some useful stats. I think people are worried about what ‘totally random thing that no one is asking for’ we’re going to end up with next, or wondering why exploits such as the keep wall jumping aren’t being prioritised over ‘breakout events’.
I’m not going to jump on the bandwagon with the PvE in PvP complaints, because quite frankly, I think it’s starting to get blown out of all proportion. WvW has always had some elements of PvE, and one more piece being added isn’t the issue. The issue is it being added with almost no notice, no testing phase and no discussion as to if this was what us WvW players as a community, wanted.
Overall, what really needs to be focused on is getting some decent communication between the WvW community and the development team. We want to feel like we are able to voice our ideas, our like or dislike of future WvW additions, and that in doing so, we actually have some effect on if it will be implemented into the game.
Would also love to know where to get Power/Prec/Vit gear, having to use the Knights with Valkyrie accessories currently, but I would really prefer Vit to Toughness.
Can confirm the Guardian with a staff can fix these skill challenges (or at least the one in OP). It took them at least 8 or so attempts before they worked out where to aim though, so make sure they don’t give up if it doesn’t work the first few times.
It rebugs when someone knocks it back anywhere near the edge of the roof, and as such is incredibly easy to bug due to where it spawns.
