Make badges universal so you can do any dungeon and pick the armor you want regardless of the dungeon you do and make the world wide group lfg like in wow.
Just like i can’t zone into COF, nobody in the group can. That’s the player’s fault right ? This bug was in, early early in the game, why is it almost 40 days in, we are still having this problem ? Must be the player’s fault. Sorry, my party make up is wrong.
Winterds, your posts still actually do not address these ‘design’ issues you keep bringing up.
-Story mode makes it hard to find groups – this has nothing to do with dungeons and is more about the social aspects of MMOs.
-The reduced rewards in Exp mode makes it hard to find groups – I assume you mean diminishing returns? Basically someone has to run all three paths before diminishing returns kick in. So you’re saying everyone else on every server has run the dungeon 3 times in a 24 hour period and you can’t find a group? Refer to the above social aspects comment.
-Griefing has nothing to do with dungeon design and more to do with people. Refer to the above social aspects comment.
-Tokens not scaling properly is a bug issue and not a design issue.
-Trash is 10x harder than bosses? Really? I think you’re mistaking numbers of mobs for difficulty – learn to love AOEs. A party issue rather than a design issue.
-Sidekicking does not work properly? Maybe there is a bug here, I’m not sure. I’ve personally never encountered this issue.Please also don’t bother comparing the game to WoW. They are separate games and these comments coupled with your passive aggressive threats to leave GW to go back to WoW really makes you seem a trolling fanboy.
If you have true issues about design. post them. If you have ideas on how to ‘fix’ dungeons, post them in the suggestions thread
Not going to bother because it seems you are the fanboy blaming the dungeon’s/design’s failures on players and party make-up.
Like right now, trying to do COF on my war for first time… guess what ? We can’t zone in. This bug was in, like way back then, why the heck hasn’t this been fixed ? Ridiculous.
I was never kicked from a dungeon group , in gw2 ever only once when i lost in BC and I didnt have a clue in how to get to AC and I already stalled them out so that was really me asking for it.
I only talk in chat if its important and im generally cool with stuff I dont mind helping and giving advice and I rarelly mess things up, so id pretty much never had any problems with people I pugged with.
If you were kicked before the last boss you probably did smth to kitten them off think about it.
And you talked about wow , but wow is even worse people sometimes kicked me mid dungeon run to put their lazy friend who just logged in. And why? because they dont give a kitten to you they will never see you again and so they simply dont care, so dont go talking about going to play wow because gw2 has trolls and griefers wow has one the worsts if not the worst comunity in the history of mankind.
I never been kicked. I saw someone being kicked and that person did nothing.
Wow had that problem but either you got badges from previous boss you killed or it was very early on. Either way, wow dungeons REWARD YOU. GW2 dungeons PUNISH YOU and crappy REWARDS.
You don’t need a trinity in this game, if you feel you do then you are definitely doing dungeons wrong.
I understand you don’t. But the way they have these dungeons designed it seems like you do. They did a poor job balancing it for everyone.
Saying the problem is pick up groups is just ridiculous.
The problem is they are trying something new with no trinity and for that dungeons need to be properly balance.
I never said i expected to clear everything flawless with a PUG, i never complained about wiping with a PUG, but i do think dungeons need to be re-looked at.
In it’s current state dungeons are NOT FUN, NOT REWARDING and BUGGY.
Pretty much what boils down to is the guy who is in charge of DUNGEONS is clueless or a grumpy guy who wants to make player’s lives miserable. I do not understand the changes. I’m pretty sure games/dungeons, are made to enhance the player’s experience with the game, FUN, not the other way around. They keep making changes that are just turning people off. Be it a bug or not. Someone need to test before putting things live.
There are just too many things going wrong with the dungeon design to list them all and go into details.
The reduced story mode rewards have made it even worse to find groups.
The reduced rewards in Exp mode have made it impossible to find groups.
Now there is a new way to grief players after spending an hour in the dungeon you can boot them with just 2 people and they don’t get any rewards.
Badges not scaling properly. Some people are getting 60, some are not, some even less even though they haven’t done dungeons all day.
Fights are ridiculously tuned. Trash are 10x harder than a boss or sometimes bosses are down right impossible.
A dungeon that is “lower” level is 10x harder than higher level one. Makes no sense, dungeons should progress from easy to hard level wise. Isn’t that Dungeon creation 1 on 1 ? A level 30 dungeon in a way should be easier than a much higher one ? Design wise and what not.
There will be always the “Elite” players who say its all fine, it’s all good. But if i were the dev’s i wouldn’t listen to them, they can’t make the game revolve around 1% of the player base.
Do you know how annoying it is to do a dunguen 4 players, when the last player havent done anything for the group? and cant even do noob test runs (Example for noob test run – Runing past the bees with nectar and avoid the water pools in TA expo mode Path 2)
Ofc you kick him. hes not doing anything for the group.
Oh i understand, but you will find out the player is useless at the start, not at the very last minute before downing the boss. So i agree to kick someone way before then, but when a dungeon is cleared and i believe there was a disagreement between the players over something not related to the dungeon at all and they decided to boot the guy for no reason ? That’s ridiculous.
Really? Your one issue is griefers and you’re threatening to go back to WoW? Really?!
No. Please read. In general, dungeons are poorly designed. THE TITLE is called “your dungeons are killing it for PVer’s”, i am totally unhappy and disappointed with dungeons in general and THEY ADDED another problem to the dungeons by making the badges only drop at the end. Guy come on, some people PUG dungeons, it’s just a part of the game, by saying only do dungeons with guildies is a major design flaw.
Griefers are and always will be a problem in MMOs. Ignore them and move on. Join a guild or party with people you know and trust. It’s a little harsh laying the blame of trolls/griefers at Anets feet and ‘threatening’ to leave the game because if it. If they’re too much for you to handle, I suggest finding a single player game where you’re shielded from such acts.
Yes they are and i am sure it was 100% of the decision behind making nodes your own and you getting exp without needing to be grouped and receive loot. So why not go the extra mile to make sure DUNGEON GRIEF does not happen ? by adding silly road blocks like moving all badges to end boss, just created a new problem that was not needed. That’s hasty decisions being made without thinking about all the problems that can happen.
Make the dungeons and rewards FUN/GOOD and people won’t be skipping entire parts of the dungeon.
And even though we do not pay monthly. We are still customers and we can still voice our opinion. I am not threatening anything because they already got my money and if they don’t care they dont need to listen. But if they want to keep receiving my money to support their game, they will have to make changes, otherwise, blizzard will be more than happy to get $15 a month from me.

Like i mentioned, i did not happen to me, happened to others and it’s on the Dev’s because they made this change to deal with people trying to skip some parts of the dungeons because dungeons ARE NOT FUN.
I am loving the game so far, the art direction in this game is amazing, the music and what not. But the dungeons are pretty disappointing.
I have spent $30 on your gem store because I want to support you guys and everything you have done. But the dungeons and the way you are handling it is making me lose interest in this game really quickly.
The new change to award all badges at the end, has now created a new monster.
People who like to grief are booting players right before the last boss so they do not get their badges just for kitten and giggles.
I was in a group today and they booted a player for no apparent reason and they were all laughing, they were from the same guild.
The dungeons are already poorly balanced, the rewards are poorly done and it seems every change you make are only making things worse.
With the way you have it designed, badges should be universal. It’s already hard to find people to do certain dungeons so if you want to complete a certain set of armor, it’s nearly impossible.
I am only giving this game another 30 days to see if you guys are listening to your customers and realize that some of us DO want to keep playing and supporting this game for a long time.
I have friends who are skeptical about buying this game and having a blast playing WOW, and unfortunately, WOW has dungeon design made to increase the player’s fun, not to frustrate the player.
If frustration is the direction you want to take, then unfortunately, soon I will no longer bother with this game and (/wrist) end up having to go back to play the Evil Empire’s game. (No not Star Wars =p Wow!)
Just finished A light in the darkness and felt it was way unbalanced how the ghost weapons hit so hard and the undead, i nearly died a few times but when you fight the gatekeeper which is a great looking character, he was easy as hell, barely dented my hp… please look into the balance.
Now i am doing Under Siege story line and it’s way easier than those enemies in the A light in the darkness quest. Makes no sense =)
Not joking or Trolling.
But is there any way you (Arena.net) can look into the sound for the male norn (and change it) when he gets crippled ?
It sounds like he is having an orgasm. I have been embarrased when playing and a relative is nearby and they hear that sound and wonder what’s going on.
I am really not being picky. It’s just bad.
