Subject Alpha is definitely in top 3 bosses in this game, I wouldn’t change a thing!
Also how can you say it’s badly designed, its basically the only dungeon that can’t be skipped or exploited and actually motivates you to play it the legit way.
Big props to whoever designed CoE.
Yeah ill definitely purchase something on xmas again, this time spent about 20e on the costumes, and they are awesome, not regretting it at all, Im looking forward to xmas goodies.
What I will not is gamble with BL chests for real money, but I havent done that this event either, bcs Im using my brain xD. And everyone who lost XYZ dollars on gambling and then whines here is very stupid and deserves losing that money. (sorry but its true)

Prices havent been stable they jumped by 160g in one week for some of the precursors.
Just match asurans with asurans and charrs with charrs, or something, its so stressful that you cant see your character the first 20% of the puzzle.
Or make it solo, speed is okay, just make it somehow possible to see our characters

You totally don’t get it, the problem is not that precursors are expensive and they should be, but they are increasing on price faster than we are making money.
The real problem is that people with bots who farm in frostgorge (big Botgroups 5+ Bots) are buying off precursors for this illegally obtained money, and then sell them for 150g more than they originally bought them for. They are stacking precursors in bank and totally bought off any suppliers.
The solution is very simple, once you buy precursor from TP it becomes account bound, this would mean, you can still sell a precursor that drops for you, but you cant buy off other precursors just to sell them a week later with a doubled price!
If arenanet is not able to ban the Botters (whatever), they can at least make this change and strip them of market-control.
On one hand I do understand why you are upset, and the dungeons are definitely doable with the minimum required level. So technically you shouldn’t get kicked out of parties for that.
However the people don’t know you and being a high level with decent gear means that even if you’d suck and couldn’t dodge anything you still wouldn’t go down that fast. So I can totally understand people that are concerned about taking a lvl 35 PuG for AC explo etc.
Now from my own experience: When we are missing someone and looking for a PuG, we do not check gear and level (unless it’s Arah), but when we take lvl 80s PuG its usually a bit faster. However runs with low level players are often more pleasant as they aren’t flaming and annoying as some random lvl 80s PuGs (on the contrary they are willing to learn and follow our strategy). So generally we simply take who whispers me first and I’d encourage others to take lower level people on the run sometimes too, it might be a bit slower but generally I haven’t had too big problems there.
Now i might be wrong, but from my experience from GW1, the next costumes will be added on xmas. I doubt there will be any more halloween costumes now (possibly next halloween will be new costumes tho)
I want to say big thanx for this feature! Great job Anet, i hope it stays in game permanently and you will introduce more achievements and more possibilities connected this awesome minigame.
Its not just for Brawling around in LA and Mists! We also Brawl when we are waiting infront of the dung for last player to come etc. its rlly a nice thing to do when you are waiting for someone or just want a brief break from what youre doing.
But I got one concern, I bought the Witch costume, but if i now buy Mad King Costume or the Pirate one, it will be another 5 inventory slots, could you please make in storage tab for costumes? So it doesn’t spam whole inventory if you want more than one costume? Or you could make it like in GW1 where once you unlocked the costume you could always talk to a NPC who would make it for you. Please consider this, otherwise its quite discouraging people from buying more than one costume.
Well thats great, but JQ is an American server, so i dont think this would work that well. (You’d be online when Im asleep and vice versa) But thanx for offer.
Hey,
its pretty hard finding decent players for dungeons. I’m looking for a guild that rlly focuses on dungeons, id prefer a medium/small guild over a big one where nobody knows who is who.
Currently Im on Far Shiverpeaks server, and I’d prefer staying here but I’m willing to transfer to another EU server if necessary.
My main is a ranger, all gear (armor, longbow, short-bow, accessories) is max exotic, I do use tonics and consumables for some of the tougher dungeons. I done all dungeons, all paths except Arah P1, P2 and P4.
Although my main is ranger it is no problem for me to lvl up another profession(given enough time), if the guild requires it.
I do play very frequently, especially in the evenings (GTM+1). Please contact me if you feel like I’d fit in your guild.
For ppl also looking for a good dungeon group. Me and my friends are looking for more ppl, bcs we mostly have to fill last spot or two with pugs unfortunately. So if you want to tag along for some, while searching for a dungeon guild (that we are not), msg me in-game. We do currently look for heavy or medium armor classes, bcs we got alot scholar professions already.
What is required: good gear (at least weapons and armor must be exotic), very good at dodging.
What is not required: knowing all dungeons/all paths, cause dungeon strategies can be always taught, teaching skills however not so well.

Dear Anet, when are you going to enable dungeoning between EU and Am players?
Ppl are trying it regularly and just loosing coins on teleporting. Please make a statement when can we expect this feature.
You guys know that if you click on the report option, you can see the name, so its not as anonymous as you think…
15 Tokens for doing CoE third path first time ever, it took us over one hour so its not bcs we speed cleared it -.-
Even if, it would end up like EoN, nobody would play it after a while bcs it would be too easy, too boring.
What this game rlly needs is more areas like Cursed Shore, Malchors Leap and Frostgorge. Three end-game areas simply aint enough, this game needs at least 3 more, so ppl that dont like dungs or find them too hard, had more options where to go instead of camping at Cursed Shore.
EotN dungs were mostly easy and most players did them just once or twice and never returned to them. Dungs that were beloved and had big attention were UW and DoA, now you might want easy dungs now and believe me once anet makes some dungs easy, ull get bored of those dungs very soon. I ran UW over 200 times DoA over 100 times FoW over 50 times. How many times I did EoN dungs? well except 2 or 3 of them I did all just for the title.
When you went to temple of ages it had 4 or more districts, when you went for EoN dung you could hardly find anyone and often had to take henchmen, now dont try to tell me 80% ppl desires easier dungs.
Ranger might be the issue then.
Did you have a Ranger in your team Amon? We assume its the ranger pets that kind of get him bugged, for some reason the boss prefers attacking pets over players and gets stuck on pillars while chasing them.
Thats fine, there are dungs that I enjoyed better but everyone has a different taste. However I think you have been pretty lucky with the submarine path, the heavily armored boss gets almost always stuck in one of the pillars!
And then you have only 2 options 1. re-run whole path 2. keep attacking him but you deal only around 80dmg a hit so it takes forever.
Thats why we aborted the dung and decided not to return untill its fixxed.
Anet didnt give any response, nor did they fix it with yesterdays patch so i wonder whats going on.
Yea i also do dungs with friends for achievements and thats awesome, we have alot fun doing those and we do various dungs.
But i also want equipment for my ranger from TA, and that i can do only with another friend who is also a ranger, and then we mostly go pick up 3 random ppl in front of TA and those are rangers only, since every ranger wants TA equipment…
Im am not asking for giving out more tokens, all im asking for is diversity, seeing the dozens of rangers sitting infront of TA isnt what i consider enjoyable dungeon.
I can only find rangers for TA, me myself a ranger too, and i cant use my ele or guard bcs i need the tokens for ranger, it feels so limited. And yeah my friends wantit for achievemnt but dont want to run it again bcs they dont need the tokens bcs they arent rangers.
In GW1 i went DoA with mesmer one day, with ele the other day, and i wasnt punnished for it.
I got around 300 TA tokens now, more than half of the runs was 5 ranger group.
to ppl who want tokens soulbound: you really think its fun running TA with 5 rangers several times a day? I HATE IT. While GW1 rewarded you for diversity, and the more characters you had and played the better. GW2 goes: TA ranger only dung, AC war dung etc…
You need to make tokens account bound, removing the most beautiful thing about GW1 was definitely a misstep.
Can someone explain that to me? I enjoy playing on various chars and switching professions, i enjoy changes, i dont even mind that you need so many dung tokens, but please make the tokens account bound. Then it wont feel that grindy, now everyone is pretty much tied to one character, if he ever wants to use the tokens. Id like to see a solid explanation(if there even is one) as to why the tokens are bound to one character.
But except of the need to grind the dungs with one character, the dungs are well structered, fun and challenging!
Especially the exp modes, i rlly enjoy them, and i dont get why ppl complain so much when they fail the fisrt time doing them.
Zhaitan fight was very lame unfortunately, but that was possibly the only big misstep throughout all dungs.
OR, you could give us the option to pay the asurans, lets say 2g and then being able to port for free for one month, or something like that. I know that the fees are required, but like this we end up rather running across a whole area than spending 3silver or more
We finnished it yesterday, the the keg par was very tricky i give you that, but there spawned no reward at the end, nor did it gave us the achievement -.-
This is a typical post of a player who thinks grinding is more important than skill and brain. You have to realise that GW2 doesnt award you for hard grinding as much as other MMOs, this game is about challenge, not about grinding to lvl 80 and then pwning low level dungs like a baws.
However i do agree that the rewards for dungs should be higher. But what the difficulty concerns they are just fine, dungeons are not to be an easy grind but to be a high end challenge that requires skill.
What anet should rather focus on are the big amount of various bugs (boss doesnt spawn, party cant enter etc.).
Yea
i had the same issue! But i simply turned Depth Blur off, then the problem disappears and you get slightly higher FPS anyway
Word. The very same happened to me on the 25th August
. The remade char recieves only mistfire wolf, heroes band and golem banker. Anet answered that there will be fix soon. But still nothing is being done. Im aware that there are more serious bugs. On the other hand I think simply resending the three items might be one of the easiest bug fixes ever.
