But Anet REALLY need to fix this dungeon because its not doable with a PUG group, and its not doable with Green/Blue items. If you need Exotics to do it them its wrong because WHY would you do it if you already have better equipement already?
You DO realize that you can get THE EXACT SAME stats on crafted gear, right. You DO REALIZE that the ONLY reason to do these is for aesthetic reasons. Everything that comes out of the dungeon has an equivalent that can be obtained in another fashion, the only difference being the way they look.
These dungeons are not meant to be puggable, at all, ever, in any way shape or form. PERIOD.
If you do nto liek them, guess what? you don’t have to do them. If you think it is too much of a grind to get the gear, thats fine, you can get the same stats on gear much easier to obtain. No one is forcing you to do these rediculously hard, and incrdibly long dungeons. You do not have to do them. At all, ever. People who DO overcome them are given nothing but bragging rights.
THIS! Exactly this! Dungeons are not meant for PUG groups!
Why are you punishing players for being proficient at the game and “clearing things too quickly”… this is a very stupid thing to put in a video game.
“Hey bro, you’re too good at the game… I’m going to penalize you for that.”
… huh???

I’m very disappointed in this decision.
It wasn’t so much being skilled at the game that was letting people clear CoF Path 2 in 20 minutes. It was exploiting.
Well our organised team, in voice chat, changing everything for this path, from skills to sigils to food to have more flame legion damage, failed hard. The only way to do this path is with huge burst damage, and players with -% healing effect. Thus, asking for a certain group format, mostly affecting elementalists & engineers.
Yes I understand that dilemma, I was more addressing the issue of people attempting to pug dungeons, not succeeding, and then lambasting the devs for making it too difficult (in general).
He is impossible for a random party and the way to kill him is not fun at all:Burst damage is only way :|
I was under the impression, since pre-launch, that Explorable Mode paths were not meant for “random parties” or “pugs”, but more for a well organized team of individuals who theorycraft strategies and what-not.
You don’t need to be “elite”, you just can’t PUG thekittenthings. Explorable mode dungeons weren’t designed to be easily pugged through.
I get bored on the Karma Racetrack after defending each point twice and just leave to go to Frostgorge Sound or Malchor’s Leap so I never get hit with the diminishing returns… :\ You still get the same amount of karma from doing events in those zones, granted it doesn’t come as fast, but I believe that’s why people don’t like it. If the karma isn’t rolling in fast enough then there’s no point… what’s the rush? None of us are going to be the first to get a legendary (it’s always someone else to get world’s first anything), so what’s the hurry?
