Guild Wars 2

I like it this way way more than the trinity.

Sorry but ele is GREAT in WvW, whoever say it isn’t don’t know what they are talking about.

@Sartic You seriously believe old CoF was alright?

And you talk about Anet f.uck.ing up dungeons?

They already said that explorable modes aren’t supposed to be pugables.

Limulus.4380:

We need more posts like this so that the devs will hear about it. People are not happy. The lopsided WvW. The dungeons that don’t require tactics other then kill 1 NPC, die, repeat until you get to the end. .

More like you die because you use no tactics.

Also we really don’t need more post like this, there are PLENTY.

Well it’s a way better balanced matchup than last one. At least for now.

WvW gear needs at least 3 different sets with different stats options.

I would rather see others downed state nerfed to our state rather than us buffed to theirs.

But yeah our downed state is bad.

Those effects would be OP on some cases if it triggered in any kind of skills that heals.
For example elementalist water first skill with staff heals.

Staff damage isn’t low, is low for single target as nyth said.

What would be interesting to see is being able to choose between 2 different sets of weapon for each element (ie staff for fire/water and d/d for air/earth) Sounds a bit crazy, but it would fix the problem of being “confined” to one type of range.

Realistically we just need some traits to be less specific to attunements. D/d probably needs buffs though.

Kinda agree elementalist are so much fun compared to others characters in pve imo.

Agree with Amnon, i don’t want the class to be drastically changed in a simplified way.

You can also use arcane skills for comboing alone.

But you have to think that others can use your fields to combo, staff is not really a “solo weapon”, but its really good in groups.

Wouldn’t be awesome if we could choose a different set of weapon for each attunement?

No thanks, i want my 20 skills, if you wanted 5 you should have picked another class.

GREAT post and i agree with all of it.

I grinded some days because i liked the look of some parts of the CoF sets (armor head shoulder) but after that i had no rush to get the rest of my gear.

AvalonBright.6957:

I come back to check on this tonight randomly… I just don’t know. Then again 99% of the type of people that frequent a game’s forums are the type to support it no matter what.

All I can say is I’ve been on three different fansites/boards today and seen three different polls with the majority votes happening to also mention the unstructured PvE/lack of roles is the biggest thing missing with the game.

Say all you want that people need to “l2P” or whatever else that boils down to telling people they’re just “bad”. Meanwhile the rest of us will be hoping ANet opens their eyes and realizes this gameplay needs some massive tweaks.

It doesn’t need trinity.

Really annoys me when people that talks about things they don’t know and demands changes.

That’s why just people end up telling “l2p” “you are bad”, because people like you aren’t willing to learn and try things. You never think you could been doing something wrong, you don’t ask for help or suggestions.

The thing with cof and arah are different.

Jumping thing in cof bug the kitten out of fights and tokens.

Jumping in arah just allow you to bypass trash mob. (a big chunk of trash mob)

Not an exploit, but probably not intended.

Elixir gun engi sounds good too if you haven’t thought about it.

Of those 2 warrior sounds more usefull.

Jasher.6580:

What a lot of us are wondering is how this ATROCIOUS reward system actually made it to the live game.

If it wasn’t for the atrocious reward system people that exploited cof would have broken the game economy and it would a big disadvantage for those who do it after a fix.

They will probably try to fix as many dungeons as posible before giving proper rewards. Makes sense to me.

Why do most people just judge the entire dungeon experience (or the entire game lol) when they just tried it ONCE.

Sorry OP but you are doing it wrong, dungeons aren’t designed to die (specially story modes), neither to rush from graveyard.

Support skills are important, so does CC. Most people lack defensive skills/trait when they complaing about dying too much.

Not having trinity is fine, no, it’s MORE than fine.

Seriously after reading all that i can believe you said cof story mode. Your group was doing something wrong or you are exagerating, it’s not that hard.

They said they are already working into improving rewards.

soulcakeduck.7036:

Two things I don’t understand about this fight.

1. Why does the boss not reset to the same starting position as when he first spawns? Instead, he’ll spam-spawn crystals even when out of combat, so that groups with the misfortune of wiping on him have to start the fight with 26 stacks of regen on the boss, making it far harder (impossible?).

Crystals disappear after some time out of combat, or at least they did when i went there.

Why is this guy talking about 1v1 in the WvW forum?

Orbs and free transfer are the problem, not matchmaking.

Yeah it’s kinda hard for elementalist. Use Ether renewal and arcane shield. Maybe mist form too. Those help a lot.

Funny thing is, there isn’t even queue on losing servers.

@nicolebsb

The only thing that changed regarding rewards was if you ran the same dungeon 3 times a row, you can still do 2 a day or do multiple dungeons.

I agree rewards needs more work and im guessing they will improve them, they first want to fix the difficulty of every dungeon. Imagine if rewards were higher with old CoF.

I agree there should be more incentive, but most people just want them to be easy.

Same way blizzard listened to their players and turned the game into it’s current state?
No thanks.

They are probably listening, that doesn’t mean they will do all the things crybabys want immediately.

Dungeons needs more work but i fail to see how this patch ruined the whole system.

CoF and SE.

Haven’t tried a lot of dungeons yet.

Turin.1024:

I believe the trick is to keep him poisoned the whole time, so you’re pretty much required to bring necros with you.

I thought anet was against the whole “don’t bother doing this dungeon if you don’t have X class” thing.

Thieves and rangers can also poison.

I don’t see the word dungeon there. It doesn’t even say “casual gamers” anywhere.

You are just trolling or you seriously didn’t understand what they meant?

Chronald.3512:

OP clearly isn’t 80.

The only thing to do in the game once you hit 80 is sPvP to max level, or get ‘pretty looking armor’

That same armor that you clearly don’t understand is also the strongest (crafted exotic tier). To that end players want to get it so that they can be up-to-par in WvW fights (only place where gear actually matters). To that end they want to grind either materials to craft the items, or gold to just buy the items.

Both options have been severely nerfed since they both rely on having large sums of gold, which is no longer attainable without exceptional amounts of time, or purchasing Gems.

That is why people are upset. ANet removed the entry-level end-game content for players who cannot clear EX Arah (not that it is hard zzz).

Also – why do you play MMORPGs? Is it not to look and feel like a virtual baller? What aids that feeling more than having sick looking armor? LOL argument fail.

Any other MMO takes way longer to get the stronger armor, hell in some others mmo you will never have it.

This “exceptional amounts of time” is nothing really.

He’s super hard, but i heard there are videos of people doing it.

Yes i will still try dungeons.

“ArenaNet decided to destroy the only good dungeon”

Oh please, you didn’t realize something was wrong when any other dungeons was way harder than Magg path? hell even story mode was harder.

1 week matches won’t work until free server transfer is done.

Also orbs might be a problem.

Winston.2489:

Fight better. With your Server.

It’s imposible, most people just either stop playing or transfer server when losing.

I think we need 1 day matchs until transfer stop being free.

Yeah CoF was clearly wrong and anyone who believed it wasn’t didn’t think at all.

I still thinks rewards are a little off, they should give more gold and rares more frequently.

Also they should have given more reward for doing 3 paths rather than punishing for doing the same

Didn’t tried it yet but it’s harder than first path last boss? it can’t be lol.

You guys probably spent a lot of hours already on the game and you pretend to get a refund? this is disgusting, there’s a whole lot of content outside dungeons and they will probably change the rewards issues later.

Meeooww.3742:

I’m also hoping ANet will take care of this, otherwise it will be yet another generic mmo.

how does this make it “yet another generic mmo” ?

Mordikay.8476:

In short CoF was fine the way it was and instead of buffing CoF you should have tuned the other dungeons down to match what CoF was.

So an explorable mode that can be made by a group of 5 random people in blues without even talking to themselves was fine?

CoF second path was easy as kitten.

Great post by robert, i always figured the the “defend magg till he exploded the door” part was intended to be done by fighting and not by running.

I agree with the change, though prices should be reduced now.

Tosha Daydreamer.9251:

Correction: you do not need to grind for the stats. Dungeon gear is cosmetic only.

never knew it was cosmetics when dungeon gear has the same stats as exotic karma gear but with better bonus distributions

Crating gear bro. (not sure if it covers ALL the stats combination of dungeon though, but it covers some of them at least)

Bronelic.7560:

What they should say is…… Leveling is not a grind but once you get to the end game expect to grind for months and months if not years to get full end game items and a finished Character . GW2 You can’t farm. You can’t plan to get dungeon armor as a caual player. Arena net is ruining this game for casual players

There are plenty of people with full exotic gear, what “months and months” are you talking about?

Use banners of Tactics and Dicipline (at least this one), tell your team to take them regularly and use the second skill.

So you will judge all dungeons because of your first experience with it?

Let me guess, you are undergeared for being lvl 30, you probably didn’t even use banners, you are building glass cannon and your party was probably in the same situation.

How right i am?

My first dungeon was also kinda messy, but i didn’t judge the game just because of it, i had fun in dungeons after the first time.

Unless this “upgraded gear” is unusable in WvW i disagree.
Well maybe if you could get the same stats combination doing WvW of this “upgraded gear”

But at the current state this is a no go.

Untouch.2541:

Remove the condition healing, I play mesmer, dodging spawns clones that apply conditions.

I’m not going to change my entire build for 1 part of a fight.

Isn’t that just changing a trait when you are out of combat? are you serious?

Yeah the golem healing itself because of conditions is stupid.

But surviving it it’s not that hard, im almost sure all classes have condition removal skills for itself or even for others (elementalist/engi almost sure for curing others)

Elementalists with ether renewal have no problems at all.
