Guild Wars 2

Evil.9061:

Farmers, exploiters, anyone who make positive monetary gain. = Exploiters. Learn to play,,the Anet way,.

Did you mean we paid money to learn how to enjoy the bugged system that is not working on ANet Way even though it created by ANet?

What the hell that a professional software development team that provided a bugged system to replace a normal system? Its horrible in IT world! If the system not working properly, why not take it down and rollback to old one? This is a common sense in developing!

“Again, the DR system will only ever affect you if you complete the path in under 30 minutes.” Sorry, fanboy. The truth is DR system is affect the guys who haven’t play dungeons several days. My guild members fighting for our world in WvW a few days. About 3 to 4 days. Then he got a team to the dungeon and get 15 tokens of this run. Why? How? WTH of the DR system doing? Could you please answer me?

Close the eyes and just keep “ANet is doing right” in mind is just Brainwashing. Face to the fact!

Okay, I understand. Because I am trying to make people like you understand that 1. The system is to prevent exploiters, not regular players and 2. that although this is the intent, the system is still buggy, it makes me a fan boy.

Or it makes you mad and you just want to flail your arms around because you aren’t getting what you want, when you want it.

Thank you for both agreeing with me and contradicting yourself in your post though. I can answer you. But you answered yourself. Its buggy at the moment.

Before 9/17 No one MAD
9/17 “Its buggy at the moment.”
9/20 “Its buggy at the moment.”
9/20-9/24 “Diminished Returns are currently experiencing a known bug. We are aware of and working on the issue.”
9/25 “Its buggy at the moment.” And…this time, the Bugs Grow UP…

Hi Fanboy, are these the normal behaviors of international software development enterprise?

Galador Dux.6359:

@Melfice: Because Programming is Hard, especially with software as complex as a real-time MMO, and there’s no amount of testing that equates to a hundred thousand people hitting it at the same time.

And a rollback would likely also eliminate several of the bug fixes that they’ve also rolled out with these patches. Do the people stuck on their storyline and wanting to continue not merit the same attention as those doing dungeons? Necromancers with a issue list a mile long?

Yes, it’s buggy. No, it’s not ok. But it’s not as simple as flipping a switch and being done with it; if it was, you bet they would have so they can get to designing new stuff. Anet’s got a good track record by me, I’m sure they’re doing everything they can.

Right, it’s hard, I am working in IT field too. But please know that: we are customers. Providing bugs to prevent customers to use the products is the road to die. Project Management telling us we need to control the needs of customers. Let them know what they can and cannot do on the system. Prevent customers’ works that they work normally in past MUST HAVE GREAT REASONS, for instance, critical risk is issued. Otherwise, DON’T TRY!

I did play GW1. For several years, on and off. But guess what, buddy? This isn’t Guild Wars 1! It’s Guild Wars 2~!

Completely different game. The people who wanted to stay in GW2 have stayed. Those who were waiting for another game, have left.

Guild Wars 2 is also a new game, with features consistently being added to prevent farmers, bots etc for getting what they want. So what if the DR isn’t working properly at the moment? Complex coding, things go wrong.
Yea its annoying when things don’t go your way, but then again, 90% of the posters on this forum are people who are mad that things didn’t go their way.

And tell me, sir. How are you being punished if you are completing the dungeon in roughly the time that Arena.Net intended? Again, the DR system will only ever affect you if you complete the path in under 30 minutes. Its obvious Arena.Net didn’t intend for players to finish it that quickly, so what’s the issue?

Great supporting, Mr. Kelthos Doombringer. Did you know what is “Project Management”? If you don’t know, no problem, just ask and someone will answer you.

" Yea its annoying when things don’t go your way, but then again, 90% of the posters on this forum are people who are mad that things didn’t go their way. "
What are the groups of people that the word “your” mean? Is it include Mr. JonPeters? and Mr. Robert Hrouda? Both of them said their DR system isn’t go on the way they want, are they mad too?

@Kelthos Doombringer
You obviously never played GW1. The 2 MAIN dungeons, The Underworld and Fissure Of Woe, were made extremely difficult. You were looking at 2 hours with a PuG group if you were lucky. Players got better and found ways to beat the dungeons quicker you were looking at 30 minutes or less, no exploiting just using the skills that ArenaNet provided us.

They never ONCE punished the players for getting good at those 2 dungeons, they ended up adding things here and there yes but it wasn’t anything to punish them it was to stop people from getting bored. It still took under 30 minutes but it became more fun and interesting.

What ArenaNet has done now is completely uncalled for and they have already lost a kitten load of people. DR isn’t even working right, you have people getting DR even though it’s the first time they ever ran the dungeon.

If anything I would PREFER them to make it to where you can only do the dungeon weekly to get the tokens then I feel like it’s actually worth putting the effort into for a day and then I won’t have to worry about it for another week.

No need to care to that guy man, Mr. Kelthos DoomBringer will only choose some post or reply that positive to the ANet. And of course, he will not looking on the fact: “They created bugs to prevent normal playing. And they made 75 dungeon harder than 80 dungeon and just tell you they will fix it with their keyboard.”

I had replied to his discuss points yesterday about the bugs, he haven’t reply me. Due to I am telling the truth that he cannot support ANet as a fanboy.

You got the point, man! let’s wait for Mr. Doombringer to explain this.

vicwolf.7862:

“And again, I said that the explorables are a part of the level 80 content because the tokens reward you with level 80 exotics”

So AC exp is for 60s and CM exp is for 70s? No? Then how come the gear is level 60 and 70?

And now, all the dungeon vendors provide the 80 gears.
Are all the dungeons for 80 level players?

@Kelthos Doombringer

Please Stop your beautiful life day dreaming. Humans are birth unfairly and death unfairly, for instance, Michael Jordan cannot be a 2nd Albert Einstein and vice versa. Due to all the human are “set” by their own FATE.

In my case, I cannot gain the exotic by crafting due to I am poor, cannot gain by the rare drops from mobs due to I am bad luck, gain some unwanted exotic from exploding maps and no one want to buy them…Why me? This is my FATE. No one can be avoid to that TRUTH.

So, how can I get the Exotic? Farming and farming! Everyday I am LFG to CoF and farm the tokens. Complete the Magg route loop and loop. At the end, I got my wants. But the guys with nice FATE will shout: Farmers are so cheap! Just in hard life! Why? Whats wrong I got my returns with my hard working? This is my FATE.

Sometimes, there are some people will ask me: “Are you playing game? Or played by game?” “Both True.” Due to I am really playing the game but it is playing me too.

Survival of the fittest. I am always adapt myself to the environment. I am not resist to the dungeons that guys are shouting it is hard. I also will complete them if I want to have the gears.

But facing to the fact, did I got the rewards that I should have after each run of the dungeons? NO! Its buggy! Not HARD! How comes a LV75 dungeon is harder than LV80 dungeon? How comes the rewards of my group members are different even though we are the first time to complete the dungeon on current day? Its buggy!

No Pain, No Gain. If you Pain, will you 100% to have the Gain? In GW2, NO! Release the patches without testing, and enjoy the players’ free debugging service. Am I wrong?

We spent time to facing the truly hard boss because we want to get something. You have no permission to insult our efforts!

You are luck due to you have choices yet. Do not apply your little world to the guys who “enjoying” the hard FATE.

In some Asian nations, there is a sentence: Fate iskitten if you cannot resist it, learn to enjoy it! At least, I am enjoying my Molten gears even though I got them in hard and buggy. I am looking forward you bring the DOOM to the world.

Why not sharing your videos of your fighting in CoF?
And did your group has a Mesmer?
Path 1 is only available the group with Mesmer or Big Luck.

In Path 2, as Mr. Robert Hrouda said, kill them all in bomb room is his mind. Not kiting.

I have to disagree with Path 1. My first attempt was with 2 warrior, 1 thief, 2 ranger. We managed to DPS nuke the boss down. We just dished out poison, bleeds, raw DPS + spammed out any quickness we had. It still took a good 30min+ to beat the dungeon as we always had to regrouped while fighting the boss. We had a caller who would say “Now!” and we would spam out everything we had on the boss.

Path 1 can be done without mesmers or Guardians. Path 2 can be done either by kiting + death chains / kill everything in the room (or the majority to control the numbers).

Of course, if you finish the Path 1 without mesmers, you are the big luck. Only 2 options on that. If you wanna to show the third option, show us on youtube.

As Mr. Robert Hrouda said, kill them all is the tactic that official preferred method. If a stage request players got several killed to clean it, EPIC FAIL!

The problem of Ghastly weapon doesn’t glow is reported many many times by much people. We can only wait to ANet to fix it up…

Robert Hrouda.1327:

We are aware of this problem, and we’re actively fixing it.

We do see these things as issues that harm the economy and are exploits to the game. These things are a big deal, and making hotfixes isn’t always a solution due to limitations.

Thank you for posting about it. Much appreciated.

Will you punish the guys who get 5 more tokens in each run by that exploit?
If not, its unfair to the people who follow your rule.
And of course, much more people will join the exploits if they found it.
Due to there is no punish and really gain more until you fix it.

Rhaj.5261:

miya.5160:

They added a diminishing returns patch, which bugged out upon release.

And then they left it in for a week for some reason.

They’re fixing it today, though. Monday.

So all the dungeons I do right now I will get nothing except tokens?

Yeah, do not care the rewards when you playing the dungeons.

Clear the Story mode of the dungeon will grant you the permission to start the explorable mode. You can join another explorable mode dungeon that opened by your group members. You just cannot open yourself.

You aren’t proving anything here you are still doing this by kiting and dying and suiciding which is everyone’s issue with the room…it is not a viable mechanic to suicide dance an event.

And the guy (not a fan of him) behind the dungeon says kiting is NOT the intended method he wants you to kill EVERY mob before the new set spawns…kiting is not an option to him.

The point is the entire community thinks hes delusional and to this day Mr. Hrouda has yet to show 1 video of him capable of doing this event himself.

Just keep die with your steel will is the only way to clear the CoF nowadays. I got the CoF pieces that I want yesterday.

Mr. Hrouda is a Content Designer who designed the stages for the Elite of the Elite players. It doesn’t mean he is the elite player that he focused on. Of course, waiting his video is just waste time. Or may be he will release the video, all the group members are wearing the legendary gears and clear the CoF.

Train up your will for be killed, and get the tokens is more meaningful.

It’s a level 75 dungeon not a level 80 dungeon…it has to be designed for level 75s in blues and greens to complete as their entry level 80 dungeon.

Instead its impossible even for those in Arah gear. Which is the real problem if you can do Arah and get geared out in Arah gear before you can in CoF then you don’t need to do CoF.

And thus his “plan” and “concept” is a diabolically disastrous failure.

You are right. Everyone got Jay Wilsoned after the patch. In my experience, I fight and clear lvl 80 dungeon is easier than lvl 75 CoF. I don’t know what are the “plan” or/and “concept” that Mr. Hrouda applied to his design…

But I know one truth: “Survival of the Fittest”. I love Molten gears, so I got them even I am experiencing hard life. Now, I am done with my Steel Will. Of course, my price to finish the goal is POOR.

I have just take a look of your video, with I finished around 60 runs of CoF, here is my comments:

1. If this is a PuG, you are lucky guy, your group members are well-known of the CoF, and also their professions. Especially the Mesmer and Guardian! Got both of them in group, CoF is just playground.

2. Double click on the waypoints can transfer too, no need to wait the msg and click Yes, its so slow.

3. Die near to the walls. Die in middle of room is danger, the monsters may use the fire wall to the NPC after you dead. If you die near to the wall, your members can have much time to take attention of the monsters.

4. Try to team a PuG with attackers/glass cannons, you will find that the tactic you used in bomb room is not working. It works in your video is just the guardian is really professional, he taunts the monsters is quite good. And Mesmer as well.

Shriketalon.1937:

1) Have another one of your characters join the Priory.
2) Buy that item via that character. It will be bound to them.
3) Use a transmutation stone to transfer the skin to a neutral item. That item won’t be bound.
4) Put that item in the bank, withdraw on the first character, wear item.
5) Impress everyone with your suave apparel.

Thank you for the method!
And do you mean I should transmutation on a blue item?
In past, I have try on green item that unbounded to my character, after transmutation, it bounded……

I love the skin of the Priory weapons, but I have joined Vigil…
How can I buy the Priory gears?

Drakken.3427:

Not sure what the point of this thread is for but I will join you and say I have the 6-piece CoF Berserker armor and after they do some fixes to the dungeon and rewards I will be going for the CoF Rampager’s 6-piece set

Just experience sharing to describe how hard life I got it

I got one of targets in GW2 on yesterday night. It’s 5 pieces of armors and 1 weapon of CoF. I feel happy to do that.

Everyday I am looking the people who give up this dungeon with shouts, cry, getting poor…etc. Or recruiting exploit group which get 25 tokens every run. But I haven’t give up and haven’t use the bugs to clear the CoF.

After patch, it really crazy. Even I team the members who wearing the Exotics, we cannot kill more that 6 monsters in the bomb room. Even I complete the CoF one time, I got 20 tokens and 2 Silvers for rewards and 10 Silvers 30 Coppers for repair fee. My guild members always advice me to give up that and run another 80 dungeons.

But finally, I have complete my target. And train up my personal skill: Steel Will. Although I got the unfair life.

I haven’t give up due to I am looking forward to Anet to punish the guys who use the Jump Door bug and get 5 more tokens in each run. If Anet doesn’t kill them, I will give up.

As reference of reply of Jon Peters in other post. ANet will going to change the rewards of dungeons. If you like the Molten gears as me but you haven’t start the CoF life, give up before its to late. Until Jon Peters releases the next patch of Dungeon.

For current setting of GW2, train up your WILL as Steel or even Orichalcum is the only way to live in Tyria. This is Survival of the Fittest.

I just got infracted. But I haven’t receive any PM or email for it.
I also can log in and out and make post in forum.

What is this meaning?
Or just let me know my post has been locked?

I am glad to be here for introduce the epic non-revolution game: Guild Wars 2!

First, let’s introduce the philosophy of the company. They said no grind, easy to play, have fun…etc. That really attracted much many guys to join Tyria, but the truth is…
The philosophy of ANet is just the past ANet’s promoting. All guys who played GW2 know that this “beautiful” philosophy is not found in GW2.

This is a Grind game:
GW2 is a game with general grind standards. Players need to grind for their gears and rewards. For one set of dungeon, a player is preferred to run a dungeon around 70 times. And also, you will get many useless gears with your efforts in dungeon. Of course, GW2’s bugged reward system will let you get losing when you play the dungeon, it is a great fun for masochist. So GW2 is suitable for farmers and masochist, Join Us and get hard life now!

This is a pay and be banned game:
Let’s pay to buy a copy and got banned! Is it funny? Yes, it is great for ANet. They got your money and no longer to provide service to you and support you. In GW2, if you experience the bugs to gain any rewards that ANet defined it is illegal, you will be banned. That’s right actions.
But on the other hand, If you experience the bugs that make you lose the rewards that you should be have, who will be punished? Also you. Lose your rewards are the punishment due to you got bug. ANet is always right! No staff of them needs be punished even he created the bugs. No reparation, no promises. ANet will fix it when they free. May be tomorrow, may be 1 year later, or may be after the day of judgement.
Are you rich? Pay the GW2 is a way to use your money.

Shadow of Blizzard:
ANet is most likely to follow the development path of Blizzard. You got nice rewards without any bugs? ANet will create some bugs to prevent you with high efficiency. You got bugged? You need to wait ANet to fix it with very low efficiency.
You love Blizzard’s game? Just join GW2 and enjoying the Nerf!

Life is short, play GW2 more!

I am very happy when playing GW2 until yesterday.
But yesterday, I see a shadow behind ANet.
“Is it Blizzard…?!”

Not only me, my friends have this feeling too.

What is Blizzard? There are characteristics:
1. Changes something without any notices or patch notes,
2. 95% of these unseen changes are making players hard life, 5% for bug fix,
3. Changes are based on the only criteria, this criteria named “We think this is cool!”,
4. The changes will not be tested, due to looking on players’ reaction is cool too.

How about ANet? What is/are the difference(s) between both?
I haven’t seen…

Now the COF dungeon is most likely the early inferno mode of Diable 3.
Do you prefer we need to max the gear as the ticket to clean the dungeon?
Instead of we got the gear from it?

Some guys are requesting the video of ANet testers for running the dungeon.
Will you post the video, ANet?

Now Blizzard Entertainment is changed to Blizzard Angertainment
How about ANet?

Show me the difference(s) or go with Blizzzard.
