Guild Wars 2

p4 is not fine, not even close… if you can run p4 in under 1 hour then you can sure as hell run all other dungeon paths in under 20 minutes…

I was also told there was a way to decrease the number of times he traps you in that green bubble, cause this one time I was meleeing in phase 3 (not solo) he trapped me inside it 3 times in a row, for the first I used endure pain, second I used balanced stance, 3rd I used shield then evaded twice, I survived but I’d like to avoid that happening if possible

what food or nourishment were you using? I’m trying to solo lupi and thinking of using omnomberry ghost? (66% chance to steal life on critical +70 precision)

What build were you running?

Who has the record for the fastest lupi solo, what class was he and how long did it take, I tried searching on google but everytime I write lupi and solo in the same sentence they bring the 17.5 second thing, any idea?

I’m pretty sure anet’s reaction to most of the players is something like

Someone won the election but the posters are still there

You should definitely have waited before blowing your gold. Anet have already said they’re going to revamp Legendary weapon acquisition.

They said that in december 2012, the wait period is so long that some people actually have more than 5 legendaries

Champion abominations aren’t that hard to kill, it’s pretty easy to evade their attacks, hell you don’t even need to evade their attacks just keep running and attacking in circles around them.

you can get 180 cof tokens per day, and why would you want the same aesthetic gear for all your alts, that’s… lame, and your argument is only valid if you have more than 5 alts.

I think there is also the problem of when you’re standing outside the red circles and you still get hit, it’s so annoying, and yeah, the lupi fight needs a lot of training.

whilst I do agree about what you say, applying it will destroy the prestige from fractal weapons, so I suggest they make it so that 4 fractal weapons in the mystic forge give 1 fractal weapon ticket.

hmm, I mostly do arah and was very poor, now that it gives 3g per run, I’m making a lot more money (still less than what the average makes) and I do like the changes, you get 6-8s from the champion box, and 26s at the end of the dungeon, a long with 20 tokens, you don’t really lose that much by doing it a second time, most people don’t get that.

Do you have any idea how many times I’ve had to explain this boss fight, whilst other bosses take a line or two, explaining this guy takes 3 paragraphs, make this boss fight a hint that activates when you get there for the first time, and mention that he appears in all arah path, I know you can read the wiki and read guides, which I did, but people don’t, and I’ve also seen more than 1 version of explainations, we also need names for his attacks, and make a bold statement emphasising how much damage his attacks do.
Really won’t take a lot of time to make this but it would save many people a lot of writing in the future.

zerk supporters know what not zerk supporters are going to say, not zerk supporters know what zerk supporters are going to say, this thread can go on forever but the main points can and will be found in the very first page, this thread should be closed.

Spiky Muffin.9180:

The only problem with dungeon selling is that most of the arah p2 guys skip lupi (which i checked when i joined the runs and looked at where lupi wp and chest should be…)

You can skip lupi?

we do see the amount of coins we’ve gotten btw, just saying…

Who needs a bomb when you can make it rain fireballs or 1 hit kill someone, people need to get their priorities straight.

Yeah people don’t really look at the suggestions section much. So it’s not a place that will show how popular a suggestion is with the players.

The Dev Team does. So does the Community Team. Whilst we don’t respond to each suggestion, we do review them.

Too bad you can’t say the same about the dungeon section -_-, dev response is so rare that we make a thread when devs do something in that section.

People did arah p3 pre patch when it gave 60s for the tokens, now it gives 1.5g, also p1 is incredibly hard with pugs since people have a hard time skipping and a lot of people don’t listen, and I’ve seen a lot of lfm arah p2 posts.

Devs ignore this section so much that when they do something here, we make a thread about it, we should start making dungeon threads in the general section just to get their attention.

Most of the threads complaining about people kicking others to sell spots are just them assuming that they kick people, only 1 occasion I know of where someone got kicked at the end, I pug arah all the time, it rarely happens.

should be 3g, since we’re doing 3 dungeons and 1 easy one.

Vast majority as in 1 or 2 people?

I think you should post this in the suggestion section, do you really think devs take a look at this section, and yeah, +1 to what you’re saying from me

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Stop cheating Bismuth. You cheater.

Been a while since I did ta though, a really long while, only did it for my dungeon master and wanted some ta gear (which I destroyed eventually), really long while is like 2-3 months ago.

I think you need coordination with this one, might want to work with the guardian/mesmer in your party, so that they can cast either wall of reflection, shield of the avenger or feedback then you cast 4 air while other people dps lava elementals, after it’s over you can switch to earth 4 then use 5 for more survivability, if done right then I don’t think you’ll die even if you were using zerk

I only did this path 3 times, with pugs, all went very smoothly, I don’t really get all the fuss but if it fills the forum like that then I should try it again.

ilr.9675:

HAHAHA OH WOW. … that would be hilarious if they WERE kicking puggers to do it tho

chryzo mentioned that he got kicked once from p2 at the end boss, and someone complained about it in the forum before, it does happen but seldom though.

I’m confused, title said you did all dungeons but arah, so I assumed you were looking for a group to help, but you’re complaining about dungeon changes, which are very beneficial to people who do arah, and later you write that you’d rather die than pug arah, I thought you never did arah?? what exactly are you trying to say?
PS: I did arah p3 in 30 minutes before, more than once, same thing for p2, you just have to find a good pug and add him as a friend.

I think if you’re good, you can solo p2 in 1 hour.
and I’ve pugged arah more than 60 times now and was never kicked from a group just so they can sell my spot

I don’t really understand how colour blind works but +1 from me

don’t use conditions if you’re going to wvw, power or healing is a more viable option

I was once asked by a pvt necro what gear am I wearing, I replied zerk, he said that I shouldn’t be using zerk when fighting lupi because I die too quickly (we were fighting lupi atm), the necro was ranging lupi and died, I was meleeing lupi but ooced to res the necro… everybody in this game dies no matter what gear they’re wearing…

true, se p2 deserved atleast 2g

I mostly do arah, so I’m happy with the new update but I’m pretty sure others will be furious once the crown pavillion ends because there are no other farming spots but orr and champions don’t give that good loot.

I’m not saying other armor is bad, I’m saying a zerk party can take down most of the bosses pretty quickly compared to other parties, and if you bring enough dps in the party the boss may even seem like a joke, cof p1 is the greatest example

Are the tokens from dungeons once per character or per account, like if I do arah with my warrior, get 60 tokens then do it the same path again with my ele in the same day,do I get the 60 tokens or not.

I mentioned this before, but the only way to have people use healing builds is if they upgrade it, like if you have over 1k healing, any fury you do will give a 30% increase instead of the average 20%, and 2k healing will give 40%, same thing for, same thing for might, the color of these should change, fury has a yellow color, make it blue or green, showing that it’s an upgraded fury, and do the same for other buffs like retaliations or aegis, if you have over 1.5k healing and you give aegis, aegis doesn’t just block 1 attack, it block 2, and over 2k healing might even reflect 2 attacks instead of just blocking, do this for all the buffs and people will get healing builds.

Only good dagger that isn’t rng or legendary is the arah dagger and the corrupted dagger, other daggers look like crap, same thing can be said for stafs, except fractal staff doesn’t look that good, neither does the arah staff, the bifrost looks gay, zenith staff looks decent though.
And yes, anet are favoring GS over other weapons, greatest example is number of legendary GSs, then the effects of legendary GSs, then the number of named GS, then the awesome effects of these named ones that look better than some legendaries, (I’m looking at you minstrel.)

Because who the hell has over 250 pristine fractal relics, and if someone does actually have more than 250, then he’d probably have enough money to get another bank slot.

I bet there are more extra Pristine Fractal Relics floating around in people’s inventory than there are Guild Commendations.

However if something was excluded from the wallet, it should have been the normal fractal relics and dungeon tokens, as it is now impossible to use them in mystic forge recipes and crafting.

If they want to include fractal relics or dungeon tokens in the mf they are going to use gifts (gift of ascension, gift of zhaitan, gift of baelfire, gift of knowledge, etc…), same thing for badges.

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

That last bit there is where the sticking point is. For me, almost every run is the first one at a boss or path . . . so I don’t know what it is. So people have yet one more (of four) reasons to not pick me :P

. . . why exactly should I care about dungeons again?

I’m pretty sure you can find people willing to help you with dungeons very easily, even if you write new to the dungeon, at first, it’s better to go pvt or knight then go zerk, maybe zerk with a few pvt trinkets, go zerk when you understand the boss and know how to counter him.

In other games, while doing dungeons, you need 3 types of people, a healer, a tank and a dps, main reason for that is because combat isn’t flexible, so you have to face tank the damage from any boss, not a lot of ways to evade and no ability to attack while moving, in gw2, we have tons of way to avoid taking damage and we can move while attacking so we don’t really need a healer or a tank, we just get dps, if you bring enough dps, you can take down any boss pretty quickly the whole encounter becomes a joke, that’s why zerk is considered better than most armor, because the more time you spend in a boss the higher the risk of wiping, and it’s not that hard taking down any boss with a full zerk party if they know the boss and understand his mechanics.
This doesn’t include fractals

As a person who pugs arah all the time, I’d rather pug with pvt that doesn’t die than a zerk that always dies, but once again, a zerk that doesn’t die is better than a pvt that doesn’t die. in other words
I’d rather have a pvt pug over a zerk noob pug, but a zerk pro is better than a pvt pro.

Because who the hell has over 250 pristine fractal relics, and if someone does actually have more than 250, then he’d probably have enough money to get another bank slot.

Mobs usually go for the highest toughness, as a full zerk mostly pugging arah, lupi never runs to me first, never, colesy’s statement about bosses attacking highest damage is very wrong, if it isn’t, then pvt rangers do more damage than 100b full zerk…

Are the tokens a once per day for the account or for char?

anyone who says meteorlgicus doesn’t need more effects dumb, scepter is a pretty effective weapon for many classes, I can stack upto 15 might with my ele on the spot using scepter and dagger, I can have perma fury and still do tons of damage, it’s also a legendary, what makes the GS legendary better than meteorolgicus, why not add an aura and some footsteps, nothing wrong with that.

true, they made evon very bad and the BL keys isn’t really a thing, I mean, he’s the owner of BLTC, shouldn’t have been 10% of the item your selling instead of 15, that would’ve made more sense, they made him very unlikable and he still got a lot of supporters, anywho, if anyone says fractals are supposed to be short what about dredge, it’s harder and longer than most dungeons, hell if it was just a dungeon people would’ve demanded 3g when finishing it.

RNG and story, story is nice but no twist or something epic, rng because I’m the bad luck brian of this game
