Guild Wars 2

Xhaine.4120:

From my point of view I like the difficulty. I don’t want to see everybody in these dungeon sets. It doesn’t become an visual achievement then.

I would like something that I couldn’t beat and then being able to see someone that is wearing his ‘achievement’ of beating that dungeon multiple times. When I see that I strive to play better and achieve the same goal.

Example CoF speed runs were easy and fast. Now I see everybody wearing this armor, as cool as it looks I don’t even want it. (I don’t want something everybody has)

Over time people will find strategies and tactics on how to beat these bosses and they will become second nature to everybody. Hopefully that takes awhile.

If I beat the dungeon in 1 run without difficulty I will get bored and not want to continue that dungeon for more runs.

I love the feeling of beating a boss after time dedication. Beating a boss on the brink of losing feels great. Last person up gets the final blow before he falls over from bleed damage kind of scenario. The second time you do it you’ll see your improvement. This time we had the whole team alive for his death.

The goal of making them harder is to have something to achieve without the title (and they are not autopilot right away) The goal of making them easier makes it too boring and you WILL autopilot through them everytime. It becomes a chore and not a ‘game’.

Wait a couple weeks till strategies start forming then try dungeons again. You sound like the type that doesn’t like a challenge (and that’s fine, there are all types of people) some dungeons are easier than others. Let the skilled players have their visual achievements.

Ahh yes, the “I am a special snowflake” argument.

A system that is supposed to punish bots but instead punishes everyone else instead.

But it doesn’t punish everyone. It only punishes you and other people who grind the same content over and over. That’s ANet’s choice. I support it. You can always go back to a more grindy game if you like.

I don’t grind, its not how I play.

I am defending the OPs desire to play the game the way he wants.

Reevax.2510:

We are all being punished by this stupid DR and Dungeon system because of botters and exploiters.

I don’t feel punished at all. But then I don’t grind the same thing over and over. Too much to see and do.

So you are playing the game the way you want to play it. Thats the point!!!!

Enoch.1058:

He can’t play the way he wants because that’s NOT the game. The game is GW2, not I deserve to have ANet as my personal video game studio.

He is being punished by unnecessary arbitrary systems.

He is not asking for a personal game studio. He wants to play the game in its current form minus the ridiculousness of the DR system.

A system that is supposed to punish bots but instead punishes everyone else instead.

Teknomancer.8475:

What are you farming for? For gold? For the prospects of having tons of loot in your bank?
The endgame gear is already ridiculously easy to get. What in the world do you need all that money for?

Why do you care what he want’s it for? Why can’t he play the way he wants? Making a silly list of things for him to do is not a solution. People should be able to play how they want.

We are all being punished by this stupid DR and Dungeon system because of botters and exploiters. The result is people are playing less, less likely to spend money in the gem store, and less likely to recommend the game to other people.

Was funny to see people like you defending SWTOR right to the bitter end.

I am sure to be told “Dungeons are fine” “Learn to play” “Go play Pandas”

I have been playing MMOs for a long time. I raided 4 nights a week in WoW and was one of the first people on my server to get the Mage Legendary Staff.

I do not mind a challenge, challenge is good. However getting smashed over and over by trash mobs. Spending the tiny bit of money I have on repairs, getting 1 shotted by mobs, and trying to re-spawn and run back before the boss resets IS NOT FUN

I have tried A full defense builds with Toughness/Vitality
Full Banner build, full shout build, hammer, mace, shield, and any other combination I could think to try.

1 shot, dead, repair, and run back.

Sorry to rant and I am sure people are gonna flame me over it. I am the average person who plays this game after work and on my days off. I am in a guild full of people just like me and we are not having fun in dungeons.

Certainly the intent of the Devs was not to cater to a very tiny group of people on what is basically the end game?

Hi,

I have been running 5 mans in pugs for a while now, most of them are just brutal massacres and high repair bills.

Now I have managed to get a small guild going with some friends and we want to run 5 mans as a team.

However from what I have seen you can not just go in there with just any 5 class/builds.

What type of makeup and builds do we need to reduce the pain of getting 1 shotted by trash mobs.

Thanks!!

They have already said they do not plan to make the dungeons easier to do.

They are catering to a very small and hardcore crowd of people. Maybe there is some metric that says they spend more money?

I don’t mind a challenge but when you die numerous times and get 1 silver at the final boss…

yeah

They also actually sell the gold, otherwise there would be no profit in it.

Yeah its out of control on my server as well. Its just non stop spam, no one can even use the chat because of it.

I had an addon in WoW that blocked all gold spam, it was great. Why can’t we have that here?

I am seeing more and more bots. From the simple stand and shoot to the jump around in a pattern types.

I report them, I encourage pothers to report them, and yet I still see the same names day after day.

There has got to be a way to auto detect these people by now. MMOs are not exactly new to the market.

Shrelana.2368:

When in a party, I can be standing ON TOP of my husband on his toon, and he is NOT there. Either we can see each other’s blue dots, and be invisible, or see each other and be showing as not in a party. At first we were thinking different layers, but we’ll get to where we can see each other and our dots, and move 10 to 15 paces from each other, then GONE.

Secondly, any time I try to use any type of communication soft ware – for example, Ventrillo or Team Speak, the game loses all graphics and becomes something I wouldn’t waste $5 let alone the $40 I spent on this POS.

I bought this game to play with my husband, and currently feel I’m wasting my money.

Seriously?! Is there anyone else experiencing these issues? How did you/are you making the game work?

Thats not a bug, you are not on the same server

Why make such an insulting post calling the game a POS when in fact this is 100% user error.

Well there is no money to be made in the TP with 99% of drops. 1 copper over vendor people make sure of that.

I usually salvage or vendor the items I don’t need. I still end up short on a really hard run with many wipes.

The 5 mans in this game are brutal.

I don’t mind the challenge, getting smashed over and over by trash mobs. Working together to figure things out what the best way to go at things are. Stuff like that is fun.

However the repair bills are not fun. I have had some huge repair bills and I am just plain running out of money. The risk/reward of the 5 mans seems a little off.

I quest, use the TP, and try to do other things to make cash but one run in a 5 man wipes out an entire day of earnings.

It’s funny we had this exact same debate in swtor and guess what side won?

The bottom line is people who oppose a LFG tool of sorts just have this irrational hatred for WoW. They will oppose anything that Wow had.

The whole community issue is invalid since we can already randomly run around and join events, it’s even more random then a LFG tool would be.

Sitting in cities waiting for the LFG to pop was because of the LFG? Are you sure we did not sit around the city in wow because there was in fact nothing to do outside of the city ?

We do need a LFG in this game, they can add any sort of gw2 flare they want to make it unique.
