All the bad players that only do cof are about to spill out into the other dungeons
Not new, stuff like this has been in the game since launch.
Game mechanic wise, all the fractals are on one map. You used to be able to fall from the uncategorized fractal into another fractal, for instance. This is why you keep your stacks between fractals and not in WvW, where each borderland is its own map.
You should be happy our NA pug commanders are so terrible; if they were any good we’d get even more bandwagoners, move to tier 1 more frequently, and then you wouldn’t be able to do anything at oceanic time at all.
As my neglected Mace/Shield guardian wallows in LA being unused I will continue to monitor this thread out of nostalgia for him.
Why don’t you buy him a sword/focus or a greatsword and still provide usefulness with damage, blinds, pulls, blocks, reflects, cleanses, etc?
I really don’t get why people even want to heal in this game.
I am a heal/buff support guardian, yes some people have SUPPORT builds. Yes i do agree with you that for support full support instead of power, in Cleric’s set, we could use Vitality so we could have Vitality, Healing power, Toughness. This would actually make support builds more supportive and less “RES ME” oriented in difficult battles. Guardians have low health when using Cleric gear, if you trait and use Knight gear, and Cleric trinkets you get like 3k armor, using sheld ofc, and 15k health.
People like you are why pugging anything is slow as balls
There are utility infusions for gold, mf, karma, and experience; there should be one for world exp. Make it cost 10 laurels and 250 badges at the wvw laurel vendor.
Last week was better.
DB just isn’t as good as TC (in any way whatsoever).
JQ is also enjoying a resurgence of fairweathers due to the steamroll, so groups of 50+ are hardly uncommon.
I’m hoping anet drops the player cap on maps, because blobs are lame.
Here’s hoping next week is better.
Pretty sure we don’t care bout being as good as anyone else and those that did have left
That’s a good idea to not care about being as good as others. It’s probably why the level of play on DB continues to go downhill. Keep it up.
Maybe if the level of play continues to drop, the bandwagon NA people will leave, our rank will fall, and we can go back to losing in the day and karma training tier 4 servers at night like we used to.
So you want anet to remake every dungeon
yeah, they’ll get right on that
Avoiding its big attacks (enemies often have more than one attack) and having just enough defense to kill it before it kills me.
You just described exactly how dungeons are now, which is why I said if you made bosses attack faster, people would just build tankier and continue to do boring melee trains in dungeons
Good for them. I will then clear dungeons faster for actually playing skillfully.
how do you intend to be skillful against something that attacks every half a second? face tank and spam protection? you can’t dodge every half a second.
If they want to discourage Berserker they have to force sustainability. Instead of one powerful attack every 5-10 seconds enemies could attack every 0.5-1 seconds.
And fights have to last long enoughThen instead of berserker melee trains people would just run ptv melee trains, which would be even more boring
Or use defensive utilities. Or actually play well and use the high risk/high reward set.
People already think they need guardians to do pve, if they made bosses hit everyone every HALF A SECOND, then every group would just have 4 ah/em shout guardians instead of 4 berserker warriors. People will use whichever team composition is most faceroll
if you want to cc trash mobs, you’d be better off just running another spec and swapping out a hammer for the trash pulls

Go youtube how to do each path, make sure 4/5 members of the party are guardians and warriors, tell everyone where to stack and dps. There, now you can pug every dungeon with ease. This game is not hard
I’m not sure whether you’re deliberately being obtuse, or just haven’t read a word in this thread.
I read the part where you tried to extrapolate your own personal dungeon failings to the broader gw2 playerbase and make a dull point about it.
The very few times I have gotten into dungeons other than CoF p1 and the very rare AC exp by use of gw2lfg, it ended in utter disaster:
people would wipe a few times and then immediately leave, often without typing word.
Maybe you’re the problem? I do dungeons with gw2lfg all the time without wipes. Either stop inviting people who don’t know what they’re doing, or get better at explaining what to do.
I don’t know.. would it be possible to actually offer constructive criticism without resorting to an ad hominem argument?
I don’t feel bad though, because even if I am the deficient one it would appear that most people partake in my deficiency as well.
Not to mention that I’ve never had the opportunity to run other instances due to the lack of available people.

Sigh. Even more professions with Stealth. Rangers will have less Stealth uptime than thieves but more than mesmers. Spreading out an annoying game mechanism sure is not welcome in WvW.
Stealth for all – ANet’s answer to profession balance?
Don’t worry, the ranger is still using a longbow, so it won’t be too much trouble to just walk over and kill him after his stealth ends.
I doubt most of the people are doing this on purpose, I’ve done it before at the end of a cof run because I forgot I started the dungeon
I have done every JP in the game with my charr and norn characters. This is a l2p issue.
People care about ppt?
I’m 400 in both Armor and Wep smith, so not that big deal to ME, but what do other people do?
They stop being lazy and level it? It takes 30 minutes and 12 gold to max a crafting profession
Unless they add fights with frequent, undodgeable damage that requires high vitality or healing to mitigate, zerker will always be the best way to play. People who think they need defensive stats in other dungeons are usually just inexperienced or unskilled.
I just want my laurels back
He’s whining about how the aetherblade cache and the kite for the living story achievements were put in the eb puzzle
people still zerged when nobody had commander tags, they just had to ask in map chat where the zerg was
Remove the aoe cap and then watch your elite 10 man group die to 40 people with retaliation on them while the 40 people spam aoe heals on each other and ignore your damage
rofl, 40 people per map would make it impossible to get a guild into a map to play together. Just delete the worst 6 servers in both regions and make them pick new ones to even out the population, don’t ruin wvw for the other servers.
WvW population is not factored in to the matchmaking system at all, and the jumping puzzle is a pvp zone, so deal with it.
Anet isn’t evil for making you exert a modicum of effort to get an achievement with no purpose, sorry.
sounds like they’re having fun, so looks like mission accomplished to me
They’ll probably fix it and patch 3 hours after reset just to annoy everyone
as well as any damage-over-time effects from other weapons, such as symbols.
Path 2 is particularly egrerious for this. “Did you enjoy fighting that huge-HP-pool legendary Icebrood norn? I hope so, because here’s another one immediately afterwards!”
You can walk past the first one, he doesn’t have to be killed
Running pvt in fractals is pointless unless you’re doing low levels and are too lazy to avoid damage. All pvt gear does is make you tankier while doing nothing to support your team and lowering your dps, which is why people want warriors in their party in the first place
If you want to be useful in fractals wear zerker gear and learn how to avoid damage, let the guardians or eles support
Or let teams ally with them so that they have some use like the ogres/frogs/dredge in ebg
You will never convince the whiners because they are only interested in having things handed to them and will ignore any evidence that they are wrong
To them the gw2 economy is broken because other people have things they don’t
Eles do better range dps.
pretty much every class does more range dps
Yeah, you go ahead and smash your face against your keyboard for money and feel good about it.
In the meantime, I’ll be in Arah, being broke.
Why do people hate so much on poeple farming cof? I agree there are quite some idiots you can meet there, but there are nice people farming too. If you want to farm gold the hard way, fine, no one forces you to do cof if you don’t like it.
^ This. Inflation caused is screwing the rest of us over.
The value of gold has stayed pretty much the same for months, unless you’re harkening back to a time when everyone farmed Orr and few did dungeons
Further, it’s your choice to do gold-inefficient runs, don’t hate anyone else for your decisions, except for maybe anet for not implementing better rewards for other dungeons
Maybe if they had appropriate accommodations for charrs
>"serious talk"
>Touting the virtues of an mmo that doesn’t even have a set release date yet
Yeah ok buddy
I wonder if daecollo gets paid to lobby for warriors on the forum or if he is just genuinely the biggest whiner in gw2
People like you are why the devs don’t usually post in the class forums
It would be ridiculous if one guard with a staff could stop 50 people in ther tracks with no counter, find something else to rage about
people like you are why wvw matchups are so stupid right now
If you’re joining a game in progress it’s because somebody probably quit on the losing team, so you’re going to get put into a lot of losing games. Also dragon ball snowballs pretty hard because once a team gets the buffs and groups up it’s difficult for the other team to gain momentum.
yes, I got one at level 20
Control =/= create.
We stacked 4-5 servers which resulted in what everyone is complaining about.
It cost very little to transfer to freshly opened Medium and High servers yet people still dish out 1800 gems (60G) to continue to stack these same servers.
Control AND Create.
Except for the people who have stayed on their server? We didn’t create anything
I’ve gotten 3 wings to drop from me, 2 in wvw, and 1 from a level 20 mob while I was leveling a lowbie.
Of course I had to waste all the money I made on coffers because my jade ticket RNG sucked
