Hi,

This Jade heart is really the most difficult heart to have.

I train the boss during a lot of time and each time i lose the heart beacause of the green circle or because we are not enought in it and i don’t have the time to move to another green circle or because of bugs (i was on the green mark and i was pushed away without no reason).

Can you do something ? It’s really hard for the first heart of the collection, even Deimos is easier ! Thanks.

It is actually rather easy, for the short green circles it is just reaction time and aiming, which you should be able to do if you pay attention.

For the greens that require different amounts of people you have enough time to decide, so don’t just rush in immediately, see if your team are filling the big one, otherwhise go for one that only requires one player or simply join up on your teammates.

Lastly, for the green phase where the boss rushes across the platform creating greens, wait before entering any until the boss is back in the middle, so you don’t get pushed anywhere if he revisits one of the circles, which I assume happened to you a few times, just stay safe and join when he channels the attack.

People are not being ALLOWED to join groups to do the raid, even if they want to. Elitism means that people who are perfectly willing and able to do the content are nonetheless completely locked out of it because they don’t fit the current meta for doing it. It’s not about there being or not being an easy thing to do. PEOPLE CANNOT DO ANYTHING IF OTHER PEOPLE WILL NOT GROUP WITH THEM.

I am actually pretty content with your definition of Elitism, though sadly it does not apply to gw2’s current raiding at all.
You are not “completely locked out”, you even got multiple ways of competing in raids with even green gear (Joining Friends, making own lfg posts, just to name a few.)
And people will very well group with you, best example are the learning runs frequently hosted and filled on the lfg as well as being offered by multiple guilds. You just have to put a bit of effort into it…

http://gw2dungeons.net already has extremely detailed and well explained textguides with pictures to all of the dungeons, fractals and raids and also has an option for new players as well as players that want to try more ‘advanced’ tactics.

I must say I am pretty sad that so many people assume that all those MMR-Hell-Players think they deserve legendary etc… Whilst most likely all they want are something close to balanced matches with teammates that act like their division.

I was there, helped out a friend levelling up from Emeralt, lost 6 games in a row. The players you then meet in low-lvl diamond are absolutely mindblowing. I don’t say that I am perfect, but at least I don’t three-man cap close or try to steal enemypoint with an ele whilst said class is defending it leaving my fellow dps’ers die in mid because we only got 1 point etc.
You could argue that I just play bad, but when 4 people in your team have 0 points for an entire match then I feel it can’t always be me

And yes, I first also thought people get better in higher divisions, I was proven wrong.

Aktium.9506:

Unless you’re soloing the raids, 2-3% x10 more damage is a pretty big difference.

Yeah, almost up to 20% more damage, right… right?
Getting ascended armor for the stats has barely any use, but you could argue it shows the dedication of the majority to how serious they want to play that class.

I heard from somewhere that captchas are a very popular thing to implement, like say, every third node, to prevent a small minority of controlling the market ;p

Ertrak.9506:

This exactly. You can force a DPS check without using a timer. In other games, I’ve seen this where an entire phase is dedicated to opening a boss to a 15 second vulnerable period where if the team doesn’t achieve enough DPS in that window the phase resets.

You made me laugh.

So I ended up pugging a fractal lvl40. All meta gearcheck with icebow exploits and all goes mostly smooth until the last fractal. It was bound to be mai trin, pugging always ends up with mai trin. To my surprise the group decides to go with the stealth tactic and the guard even used his hammer to assist in blasting. Then I see the other ele, still using staff and I mentally prepared to see 10s delayed eruptions but… false alarm. He just stood there and watched us blast. Thought I’d inform him after the first wipe that he can actually use scepter with dagger/focus to help with blasts. He replies yes he will, goes in aaand stands there afk with staff again. At least stuff got finished after a bit due to them insisting on bugging mai trin. But I guess 20k+ ap doesn’t show much, I got tricked :O

Nova Stiker.8396:

Am I missing anything? If not, I’m going to yell at Detha to just summon ghost but her AI script broke because she swore vengeance to some random graveling 300 feet away outside the room.

Oh my god, that made my day

Very nice! Fun to watch :P

The only thing I can suppose as it has worked for me is that when you fail the spiketrap-event, make sure that Detha has died before you teleport back, seems like that causes an issue where the event wont reset/resets improperly.
To be safe after that I’d still suggest killing the mobs up to the hall of champions and you should be fine.

pyrates.5684:

Just wanted to add that I had this bug show up yesterday. However, the fix with getting Detha killed doesn’t seem to apply. We tried killing her multiple times, but she still wont trigger the trap building event.

Seems that this happens when the trap event earlier fails and you respawn (too fast?), which causes the event not to reset. -> you complete event but detha will not trigger next one.
Have yet to try if it happens when you wait until Detha is dead at the traps.

Forgot where they said it, but it was clearly stated that it is legit.

Wethospu.6437:

AC P2

Detha doesn’t begin building traps

• Reproduction: Detha is in combat when going to the trap area?
• Prevention: Kill enemies. Use stealth to skip (don’t get in combat). Get whole team and Detha out of combat before going to the trap area?
• Fix: Get Detha killed.

When you notice that Ascalon Catacombs still can happily be exploited by thiefs after the ‘teleportation fixes’

Sauerstoff.7045:

Has anybody else of the Solo AC P3 dungeon rushers noticed the extreme Power decrease?
My Power always was at the 720 cap and now its down to 576… havent done anything different tho

Also tried to do p1 with my friend as usual, buyers came.. we engaged boss and got destroyed xD. Was pretty silly until we found out how to do it

Doing a Ascalon ‘meta builds’ run and getting 3 tank warriors using dolyak sigill and which start flaming at you when you tell them that tank is not meta

Vert.5041:

In my experience however, only 1/3 eles in pugs even attempt to stack and even they are not always competent.

I’m sure I can’t be the only one ever to party with that 15k AP ele that can’t be bothered to might stack cause “it’s just a pug”.

Bit off topic but I just wanted to point out that might stacking is not liked in pugs.
On countless occasions they don’t let the ele stack might or strongly discourage it through their actions. And I am not talking about newish players but players that should know their way around. So being able to go ps really always is a good option to have.

Hey, could I get invited to the EU guild? could also use some Arah training, thank you.

No. Aside from the fact that many of your points have already been discussed and explained, it is a bad idea. The only acceptable way would be the also often suggested scaling of rewards at the end, which would just lead to alot more kicking and griefing.

If people want to spend their gold to get their tokens for skins then let them so, same if someone is willing to take the ‘challenge’ of soloing a path, then let him get a reward, it already is risky enough as you can get easily kicked and end without reward.

And no it doesn’t prevent people from learning their class and no people don’t play less because of this.
