I enjoy the idea of being able to take on champs, however I do believe that there is no reward in doing this event (why not even increase the karma in the event change?).

I don’t see why people frown on farming as it’s a time honoured tradition in RPG’s going back to the first Ultima and Final Fantasy games. It’s how you get better gear. I’m totally against botting but if people are willing to be online and do the same thing over and over again why should they be punished for it?

Discouraging this in order to make things more interesting isn’t helping the popularity of this game which has suffered immensely since the January 28th patch and is now getting worse. For challenges I play WvW or dungeons, for farming to equip my characters I have my go-to spots.

If the goal is to move more people away for the penitent path and in to living story, for instance, don’t add events where you have to light fires and fix signs, that’s an insult to the gamers intelligence and kick in the nuts to previously hardcore fans like myself.

By reducing the reward over time/effort you’re really just saying that you don’t want people to play any more and people will go elsewhere.

Constantly getting invisible mobs particularly when farming Pen/Shelt and dungeons, making the game almost unplayable. The spiders at shelt have me at half or quarter health on a tank warrior before I can target yet alone get a hit on the hit boxes.

I thought I might be a little proactive and offer a solution of kinds to the problem of res-rushing and no ressing. I’ll give it in the form of an algorithm which you may use without first gaining my permission. Thanks in advance.

I find the patches to dungeons to be really bad for encouraging players that are not familiar with them to be able to actually get in.

I myself have spent the last few months leveling one of each profession in order to be on call to play in any dungeon/event/jp that comes up. I have massive amounts of experience in PvE and WvW but find I can’t even get a run at the dungeons because the more experienced dungeon runners won’t take me and the less experienced ones are looking for people with more experience.

It was a silly idea to block respawn while in combat, particularly because you can’t just outrun the aggro of most bosses to allow others in your group the time to respawn and get back in there. Ressing is almost impossible while in combat after the third team member drops and is really annoying to people who have played the dungeons over and over.

Really bad move in an otherwise great update.

Hey all. Just to let you know there are a few bugs in the darkhaven server atm.

Hirathi Hinterlands: not resetting, may be due to massive amount of bots that were running around the chest at the end of the boss fight Modrahni.

Straits of Devastation. Southern invasion. Stuck at protecting the rally area after the gates were taken down by the rockets etc. from the pack bull.

Sector Zuhl can be accessed through a glitch behind the Northern Entry point. Have a map attached to show the path I took to get in.

Also ancient Shark skill point (Can’t remember where it was sorry, see attachment. Sharks keep getting caught in the walls).

Cheers
