Guild Wars 2

If you want to blame anyone for this “toxic” play style look no further than the makers of the game.

3 reasons.

There has been zero dungeon content added since day 1.
People want to challenge themselves.
There is only DPS (there are no dedicated healers/tanks/support)

We are stuck running the same instances day in/day out. The “Meta” has evolved to stop our boredom. There is no new content to try and overcome, there is just the same thing. So the meta has evolved to whats the fastest way i can do this, as thats the most challenging way.

We have done it 100 times before. We have done it ranged / necros / watched all the cutscenes before. We want to do it fast now. No, we dont want to wait for you to watch the cutscenes. No we dont want a lv 30 who doesnt understand how or what field combos are.

Any argument you juxtapose about “wanting to play your way” applies equally to every other player

Start your own party if you dont like ours. If you want to complain, direct your malice at Anet not dungeon runners who have done / read this post 1000 times before and are sick of it.

Many thanks for the explanation, and thanks for all the guides etc you and your guild put out – basically learnt everything from these.

Hi All,

I enjoy running dungeon paths and always look to improve my runs. Often i watch DnT streams to get ideas for faster runs.

Ive seen the “DPS” technique used on the Evoled Husk in CoE a few times, but i cannot find any documentation / videos explaining it in detail.

Apart from using tornado to keep the husk KD’ed with 2 eles is all ive been able to gain from the streams, are there any guides vids avail? Or someone who is kind enough to write up a bit here?

id like,

brief overview
Eles point of view (details, skills when to use etc and what for)
team point of view (any skills a team should take, what to open with, defiance management etc)

anything else useful!

Also, if im missing something here, is there a resource with more advanced “special tactics” for dungeons? Most seem to cover pug way.

Thanks

All my sentiments echo’ed in this thread already.

Since the mega server patch i havent been able to find temple of Balthazar open in 3 days of constant checking.

Before i would be able to have a quick look at temple status, then guest on a server that had it open, or if it wasnt open, check when the event was coming up, and help with the event.

With no way to check when the events are coming up (or look at a timetable / convert to your local time – only to find its not up for some amount of hours…) i feel this is a massive step backwards in the game.

How hard is it just to buy some obsidian shards!?!? – Very. Ty.

Hi, i just wanted to say, that i really dont like the new boss timing system.

I can no longer take part in the boss events and its taken away a fun part of the game for me.

Tequatl timers tranlaste to these times for me;
11:30am
5:00pm
2:00am

All of these times are completely out of sync with anyone that works.
Was it A-nets intention to alienate the workforce and reward those that dont have a commitment in their lives to something other than this game?

Im just really disappointed with the timer changes; please increase the frequency of these events; or change it to be regional. (or revert)

Many thanks
