Guild Wars 2

I’m holding on to mine as it’s an obvious long term investment. Buy orders have been raising in price. I think it is worth buying because it is a rare, one-time only item. I personally don’t care for the skin for my character so I’ll just be selling it.

The dungeon has only been out 1 month. Somehow people are getting the idea it’s been 3 months. The dungeon came out at the end of November. Just wanted to clarify.

What am I supposed to do? Every single group I’m in wants to use every exploit. I try to avoid using as many as possible, but there is no way I will just leave a group on the 3rd fractal because they want to aoe down the seal in the colossus fractal. That is ridiculous and I’d never get anything done.

I can promise you’ll get members when you start a group by yourself. Then you also help out others who can’t find groups.

You have to start your own group. Level 1 is easy enough to PUG with people that have minor/no knowledge of the dungeon anyway.

Haven’t read the entire thread but, who cares? Not like ascended gear is really going to change that much of the game. This is a game where you can do just fine without the best gear. They could make a whole gear treadmill and I wouldn’t care, as long as old content still has a reason to be done.

I remember that the entire time I was doing that event, I was terrified of disconnection. I disconnected once, mid-way through, but on my second try got the chest. It is just unacceptable that instead enjoying the un-enjoyable content, I was worried about crashing the whole time.

I know that without exaggerating I got at least 40+ revives. It was nice for work on the achievement at least.

I am not a forum poster, but I want my voice to be heard. Traditionally, I am an ardent defender of ArenaNet, but today, unfortunately, I too must express my disappointment. I was not available for the first event due to school, so I missed that. That is fine with me anyway. I was online for the second and third events. The second event went moderately well, and I was pleased that I was not experiencing the lag that others had mentioned. Of course, my server ended up waiting ten minutes after killing the karka to see what was going to happen next. Today I suffered through the third event. The third event was so incredibly tedious that my server was at it for over two hours. It consisted of an overly hard zerg fest of players with intense lag. I crashed after thirty minutes and then rejoined the game on another server, where the event was just starting. Rather than enjoying the content, the entire time I was freaking out about the possibility that I would crash during the event, or even worse, right before the event ended. I heard the loot was good so I stuck with it and managed to pull through. I was one of the lucky ones who got his loot. I heard about many people that missed out on their loot after two hours of that event and I was just appalled. If I had any suggestions based off this experience they would be, do not have one time events like this if they are going to be riddled with bugs, tune down the difficulty and monotonously long fights, and anticipate more players on the servers to come up with a way to prevent lag.

The permanently new content is generally good. Southsun Cove is very aesthetically pleasing but lacks purpose. There is no reason to go there when half the mobs are veterans, there is hardly any loot, there are not many events, and the area is painfully annoying to traverse. If the rewards for exploring the area were significantly buffed, it would make it a great, worthy place to visit. The new dungeon, Fractals of the Mists is absolutely fantastic, and, in my mind, makes up for the rest of the mess this event has been. I really have to say bravo because content like that dungeon is what will probably keep me playing this game for years. It is also a great way to please both the casual and hardcore players.

In the end, things like this happen and it doesn’t damper the game’s overall entertainment value for me. If you listen to the feedback you are getting and use it, you will on the path to a very bright future, with more content like the Fractals of the Mists dungeon.
