Guild Wars 2

Honestly raids are the only thing that keep me and a lot of people I play with in the game. Keep pumping out the content Anet!

Reposting from another thread: I get that GW2 is a game with a massive variety in player skill, but people that are asking for more accessible raids are completely missing the point of raids to begin with. Just like fractals used to be (they even made them easier for the more casual player!), raids are aimed at the (more) hardcore portion of players. On that note, GW2 is actually one of the most casual-oriented MMOs I’ve ever played, so I’m really glad that raids provide the perfect platform for those players who strive to excel at playing their class(es).

First of all, there is no dungeon team in place anymore, so all of you can stop dreaming of a nearby future that entails new dungeons because it’s simply not on the table.

As a person who has been a member of the hardcore PvE community for over two years, I can assure you that at this point there is literally only ONE thing left that is even remotely challenging, being raids.

Aetherpath 2.0 with 10 people ,I promise you :>

Nothing wrong with that, as long as the rewards are appropriate. A little bit more enthusiasm and/or optimism would be nice too, this forum is starting to turn into a negativity hub The past doesn’t necessarily have to be a guideline for the future (directing at lack of attention for dungeons and PvE in general, hopefully that’s about to change with these weekly updates).

Come on this has been happening for nearly 2 weeks now.. Fix this already

For the past two days (18th and 19th of March) I have been experiencing the issue of my game crashing as soon as I leave a party. Since I have not encountered this issue before nor seen any forum posts about it, I’ve decided to make this topic. Today I also submitted a “crash report” to ANet as my client crashed, and I look forward to hearing from them about what may be the cause of this. If any of you could give me any tips/point me towards relevant topics that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Koen.

Ehm.. What does this even mean?

NoTrigger.8396:

should ban lupi wall oneshot. as long as its allowed arah records dont make any sense.

Since I’ll be spending the rest of the day outdoors setting of fireworks, I won’t be able to wish all of you a happy new year shortly before the moment is there.. So hereby: A happy new year, and hopefully a better one for the dungeon community! ;-)

Enjoy your infraction.

Even then, I’m sure the GM will investigate this thoroughly and will serve justice…… oh wait.

Well, next time create you’re own party so this doesn’t happen aga…. oh wait.

Ok, you’ll get more people on your side if you can post up the full party conversation before you got kicked on your….. oh wait.

well… enjoy your infraction. Also it was probably your fault you got kicked since you have no other evidence (/s).

So you just assume he got kicked since he didn’t post any /s pictures? Not the best line of reasoning. Also, please re-read your comment and consider whether it adds any value, I think you know the answer.

hmmm

i can understand where your confusion is coming from. In this case “/s” isn’t “say chat”

/s = notating sarcasm.

the rest of my post is an attempt at venting my frustration on the current system’s lack of tools to help players not get kicked like this.

wow in that case I completely misunderstood you >.< my bad..

Actual on topic comment passing through
Nice solo Fennec, very smooth

I can’t believe this anti-meta thing is still around. After having compared the well-thought-out arguments in favor of the Berserker’s armor and the anti-meta arguments that simply dodge the bullet in that they give vague, guessing reasons why it is oh so terrible to optimize your game play the fact that this thread is still active makes me cringe.

I don’t get it.. I’m quite sure that if they were to introduce dungeons against any sort of payment they would make lots of money (even after deducing the loan of programmers).

I found 2 more lfgs :P

Both of these are amazing lmao

the champion hunter in arah p4 is fun to solo as well

Just so you know, the Thaumanova fractal is duo-able and frankly even solo-able (latter would involve a mesmer or thief).

Cavendish.2168:

these are very impressive.

For the mage crusher, is there a tip or trick to avoiding his auto attack poison projectile? I have tried soloing him melee but i can never consistently avoid that attack. Im aware of what the animation looks like but its fast enough and subtle enough that Im too late.

You kind of have to preempt it.

I’m sure it’s the same on NA servers as it is on EU but the pugs I see are basically of equal usefulness as Randall Weyston/Varra Skylark. None of them know what they’re doing and to make matters worse, many of them are in WvW builds.

If you decide to pug FotM and you don’t make the people ping their gear and tell you their traits/utils then you’re wasting your time. It’s cringe-inducing to see what they ping you sometimes…

Like, today for example in a 50 pug… a warrior joined and pinged 46042 traits with axe/mace and longbow and was using Pirate runes… like, honestly. Wtf? Sometimes I wonder how people even manage to tie their shoes and get dressed everyday knowing they’re running around doing kitten like this. >.>

But but.. 5% chance to summon a parrot. (Cooldown: 60s)

People that base skill on AP aren’t elitists, they’re just plain kittens.

Gj Sesh, hopefully you can stop spamming my subscriber box with these now xx

Brazil’s made quite some videos about soloing Arah paths, one of which is this:

this can be quite helpful for soloing Lupicus

ipan.4356:

I’m going to use Divinity’s Reach just as a baseline for how large the smallest dungeons in the game ought to be.

In terms of actual real estate, all dungeons should cover at least as much ground as Divinity’s Reach, and many should be even larger than that.

In addition, they should get rid of these linear story paths – and make dungeons truly exploration based – they should just be places you go to delve as deep as you can, facing whatever challenges you find along the way.

I don’t like how the dungeons resembled personal story – and how the actual path you take is just go from one room to the next, kill a few things, go to the next room.

I want vast – VAST – cavern complexes and castles. Going miles into the earth.

And I want to be able to log out inside a dungeon and resume when I log back in. Dungeons could take several days to explore the entirety of them.

Also, they should have small DE’s just like the open world.

Then gw2 is the wrong game for you

let’s make this a thing

Now you’ll finally be able to repair your armor if you opened a fractal run

Galespark mentions some good points. I would also advise you to take a quick look at http://gw2dungeons.net/ to check out the guides that are available for each fractal. I assume you don’t need to know every single detail for lower level fractals but some basic knowledge could come in handy.

An update that would require less effort but would improve gameplay is perhaps upgrading the mechanics of NPCs and reducing their ridicolously high health pool?

These guys are good at running dungeons and also a very nice group of people to hang around with. Buuuuump!

Nice job! I can imagine this taking quite the practice ;p
