Sylvari / Forgotten is the best for farming.
Asura / Mursaat is the hardest working one. Great challenge, long dungeon. Not very rewarding, but fun experience.
Norn / Jotun is a nice in-between, the final boss was a good brain teaser.
Human / Seer is bugged at the end / second to end boss. No confirmation anyone’s killed her yet.

Dwayna has been confirmed killed on this forum with a ingame screenie to prove it.

brugal.5812:

Only waypoint in this path was on the first boss. Anet need to put a waypoint everytime you kill a boss.

I actually think Anet is not adding a waypoint on purpose on all boss kills. It makes the dungeons too easy if there was.

They do seem to add waypoints here and there to help us players a bit.

All of them work.

Rather like to be able to see how much I would be taxed after the sales. I need to calculate it by myself.

The only known bug Ive encountered with this event is, none of the spiders or abominations died at the end when they hit the exploding turret near the waypoint.

Sometimes they all die, but sometimes they dont and when they dont there are invisible spiders everywhere in the area around the way point.

The only solution here was to dodge role out of the cave and we were safe. This bug might have been fixed by now. I dont know.

If the suit isnt working and you have a Mesmer in your team/ele i cant remember. They can just use arcane shield and speed buffs to finish the run. As long as 1 party member gets to the end, the way point opens.

I have a quick question about the TP. Who gets the items first off the TP?

Example:
Player A enters 200 orders for product A at 01:00 GMT for price 1g.
Player B enters 100 orders for product A at 01:15 GMT for price 1g.
Player C enters 500 orders for product A at 09:00 GMT for price 1g.

Price of Product A becomes 1g at 10:00 GMT. 500 Supplies for product A comes in at 10:00 GMT.

I think this is a simple model. So Who gets their ordered product first? Is this random or…? Ive noticed that it may not be random but I was just wondering what the community thought of this and knew about it.

Thanks.

Well written, was an interesting read, but as Kaae said, a lot of people have different definitions of fun. Also as you yourself have said Michael, the minority are the ones posting on the forums. The majority does not voice their anger or joy on the forums.

From what I see in game, with the random PUGs i join, only a handful have complained about the dungeon difficulty, and it was never the case of the whole group complaining. It was always 1 player who was dying all the time, or failing to complete something blaming it on the Dungeon. Whilst everyone else in the party thought the current task at hand was easy or fun.

Ive never played Gw1, it did no appeal to me then, but so far I am loving Gw2. Its transformed me from a casual player to a hardcore gw2 player. Reason being, I dont feel forced to farm anything, the Dungeons are challenging. Even with a set in stone tactics placed in most dungeons, there is a huge change you can fail. I like this, but I can see some people dont.

Edit:
Regarding the dungeons to be a gold sink, I disagree. I ran a full TA run with some players and I made over 1g. Even with repair costs it was 1g, a fellow party member made around 2g+. Only reason he got more gold was because he was getting 60 Tokens + 25s each run. I was getting 45 tokens 19s due to a bug idk. We all died around 1x each. One person died 2 or 3x I cant remember.

I couldnt enter the Arah Dungeon Earlier with my party.

2x Desolation players
3x Gandara players

We decided to switch over to HoTW and we were able to enter.

Its probably a bug.

I have found no boss bugs so far.

I can’t tell if you are serious or making a joke. In any case i shall redirect you to the Bug forum: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs

Since you are already in the Dungeon forum, i suggest you read the pages of reports about bugs in dungeons. It’s quite an interesting read and it may help you get a better perspective of what we are talking about here.

If you have any further questions about bugs please feel free to send me a PM and i will help you as good as i can.

There arent any bugged boss atm. They can all be killed.

A better approach would be to remove dungeons completely until they work correctly and are fun for a large percentage of players. That whole “Is it fun?” blog post comes to mind. Seems like they tossed that thought line right out the window.

Who are the majority of players that think dungeons are “fun”. The majority of the community who dont come on the forums to rant because they are busy in the dungeons/WvW/exploring etc or the minority who are on the forums ranting? :/

Some fixs need to be made but taking out dungeons from GW2 is a MMO suicide, and is not the solution. The dungeons are fine tbh, just need to tweak it a bit, make it more interesting, harder and challenging.

I like trap rooms for example, lots of traps that need teamwork to get past etc would be a good addition. Many may disagree but just a note to put in the box;)

TBH its not a rant I just find it amusing that some people are allowed to run about at level 80 with full dungeon sets due to " unknowingly " taking advantage of broken events and dungeon’s to power level and loot abuse. However instead of them being punished they are allowed to keep the levels they gained and the loot and everyone else is punished for it.

I would love to see anyone who exploited lose their rewards, but thats up to Anet to decide if they can pull it off or not.

Im sure everyone who jumped over that wall knew deep inside that this was wrong. It cannot be what the developers wanted. I did for sure when I saw my party jumping over that path, I stood on the torch and told them Im not going over that.

What did I get? I got booted from the group after a couple minutes arguing. Being called a noob, slacker, ruining the dungeon, leaving half way is lame etc etc.

Untouch.2541:

Most of the exploits involve jumping over things using the environment, not coding problems.

I just want to meet the first person who even thought of jumping up there lol.

The problem with encouraging speed runs in the case of GW2 atm, is that too many players are looking for exploits around certain dungeon paths. It would be unfair to those that dont exploit dungeon paths.

If the numbers of exploiters were to decrease,or disappear all together, then this would be a great idea to reward players who complete all 3 paths of a dungeon within a set amount of time. Perhaps 6,12 or 24 hours.

As of now it feels as if players who actually are just fast at completing dungeons with random PuGs or guildies are being punished with the shard farmers + exploiters. But there isnt much we can do about it Nor Anet. Exploiters will always be exploiters;)

You got that right! The problem is that the Dungeons are not TESTED or OPTIMIZED at all. They are completely bugged and full of EXPLOITS.

Instead of fixing the dungeons they penalize ALL the players. How is that even a solution to the problem? Who the #$% even considers such a solution?

Well, I own my own website and I can tell you that even if we test it multiple times at everyday, we still find bugs here and there. Especially after we add a new string of commands, coding etc. We find multiple bugs everywhere that we fix as we go.

Its just the way IT works tbh.

Gies.3824:

If buy exploiting you mean we did the encounter the way it was supposed to be done then sure. As far as sharing secrets, after that comment explain to me why I should tell you how to do it?

But at least it looks as if the community is doing the boss wrong:/

NagaSadow.1043:

Surely it would make sense to remove the rewards and armor sets and levels gained by those who exploited?

True, but that would be a huge amount of angry players in Tyria. Plus i think its hard to figure out who intentionally exploited the bugs, who didn’t know it was an exploit.

Only solution is to take the tokens away from those who jumped over if thats possible, but I doubt this would happen. Its just too many people and it would be MMO suicide to make so many people angry. Most CoF shard exploit farmers are already hotheaded as it is.

Ok so i have to try it again… We had the problem that all 50% she did spark. So we was for 20 min to 50% to 70% ecc ecc Maybe now it pop only one time the spark…..

Bro, it’s bugged. There isn’t a single group in the world who has killed her.

today in this forum 2 ppl say that killed her….

Can a DEV answer us plz on this boss?

Really? I want to see this if you can find the post. I would be very interested in seeing how it was done. Try to see if I can improve:)

Could be players are doing it wrong, but time will tell. A Dev might come to the forums to explain what we are doing wrong, if its bugged or if its over tuned.

Just read my guide, get wiped 3-4 times. And youll get through

The Asura I think.

500+ =3 Especially with his CoF dungeons exploited runs.

If nothing was being exploited, and all runs were decently hard then maybe 200-300 runs for a full armour set including the weps.

Dungeon armours are supposed to be hard to obtain. Its a sign of accomplishment. Not everyone can have the star beside their name for 100percent map completion. Same concept here.

Im already in an Arah party Random pug group

Yeah camping Zojja would have been ok if the golems didnt damage Zojja at the same time they attack the campers.

Although ive only done this path 1s a while ago, so I cant recall the exact details, but I remember we failed pulling all the golems out of the room and we were running around on the outer wall of the room.

Oh…I miss subject A…he was such a noob…:D

Is this the golem spawning part? You need to pull agro away from Zoja, stay within the room. run around on the outer area of the room, dont be near Zoja. Try to be near or beside the golems as they spawn it helps to take agro onto you and off Zoja.

Kill what you can;)

Read through it. Glad you enjoyed it:) I also agree this is one of the most enjoyable path. Only regret is I died half way during the last boss, and I couldnt get back in. I saw a giant wall blocking my path, and after the boss was done the wall didnt disapear. I turned 90 degrees to the right and there was no wall…was one of my fail moments but we all laughed it off and collected our loots:)

This path is probably the hardest in terms of getting to Lupicus. I actually think its bugged. If you look at the opposite door right before the steps leading down to Lupicus. You can actually unlock this door if you find the power source controlling it. There is an option that says “Open door” or something like that. You will get a reply from the door about the powers controlling the door.

Its just a guess but I think this door is supposed to be unlocked by tping onto the other side via another waypoint which is supposed to appear. Just like in the warden path, another way point appears so players can unlock the door that leads to a closer way point.

However bugged this path may be at the Lupicus area, it is still doable. With a Pug it took 3 wipes before we were able to kill Lupicus off. The last boss of the Jotun is quite interesting so its well worth the run tbh;)

“Im here to help players who ask questions regarding how to finish a certain dungeon.”

So far your only “help” has been to say “suck it up and l2p, if you can’t clear it you’re bad because I cleared it.”

Well if you cant finish the dungeons, your obviously not very good at it and need help. If you cant finish it even with tips from guides, forums etc. Then you need more practice. How else would you get better without practice and guidance?

Do people magically become better at something nowadays? Humanity must have evolved while ive been playing GW2. Although I doubt it…

You did a FANTASTIC job of missing the point. You claimed you’re offering help; you aren’t. You’re only filling this forum with noise and useless contrarian chatter that only serves to muddy the waters of this already murky forum.

You want to help people clear instances? Write a guide. At least then you won’t be filling these threads with your useless garbage.

Ive already written a guide for Lupicus. Its the only guide that I think Arah needs as of yet. Everything else is quite simple after Arah, and its more fun to solve the puzzles Anet put out for players after Lupicus that read it up somewhere. It spoils the fun;)

Plus im sure many people know what to do after Lupicus. If people find it difficult, I might write another guide, or even better make a video guide. It might be easier since there is so much content after Lupicus.

Wait…so all dungeons final gear shouldnt be for lvl 80s….because at lvl 80 we dont need the dungeon skin gear…mhm….I get it.

But wait….dont all the dungeons have rare gear for lvl 60s or something? I dont know, ive never bought them.

The fact that your complaining about Magg being impossible makes you look like a Dungeon noob. Who would have figured youve almost completed all the dungeons…

And I didn’t say impossible to do, I said “impossible to do the way they said to do it.” If you can do Magg’s door event with only DPSing the spawns then you would be the world’s first.

Probably not, I know 4 others managed it with me.

We must be famous but we didnt clear the room out so….we must be bad. We just killed enough to keep the room under control and for the timer to run out.

You didn’t do it the way Robert said you should be doing it, so you proved my point. Thanks.

Robert? The dungeon designer? He never said to kill everything?

Proved your point? What? What point? That the dungeon is impossible to do? lol. I just said we finished it by controlling the number of mobs that could kill us in the room. If we were given another minute or more we could have killed everything.

“2. Instead of fighting the enemies in a timed event at he door buster, you just circle strafe them or leash aggro them to “kill the clock” since it was only a 100 second timer on the event. "

“2. I extended the time from 100 seconds to 200 seconds at the Door Buster event. I intended for you to fight those guys, not circle strafe them and aggro leash chain them. I also added 1 additional mob to the encounter at the very middle (a bow dude) to account for you now having twice the time to defeat the waves that come in.”

I cant find the word, kill everything. I see fight, but not kill everything. Must be my English. Im not a Native English speaker so idk. Must be my English. It says defeat the waves…sure it could mean kill all…but defeat means a lot of things in my head. If we arent killed by the waves then we defeat them tbh. Plus we almost killed everything. There was only like 4 mobs left when the timer ran out.

I would gladly increase the timer if we were meant to clear every last mob, or my pug group or guildy group can try harder next time. We were only testing a theory, and it worked. Next time we will have more dps spam on a single area/target.

“Defeat the waves” means to kill all the things.

No…? As Ive just said, give us 1 more minute, even 30sec more and we might be able to clear it all out. Or we just need to try again. We had several deaths, so that might be the problem. We dropped out on DPS when someone died. We probably have enough time if we actually practice more.

“I enjoy them, am I missing something?”

Aside from people getting 6 tokens for their first run of the day?

That has nothing to do with me enjoying the dungeons. Thats a bug, what are you going to do? Cry on the forums and hope youll get the tokens back within 1 minute? Not happening.

Might aswell live with it, and report the issue. Itll be fixed once Anet figures out whats causing the bug. Some people only get 6 because theyve farmed that particular dungeon/have done multiple dungeons within a set time frame or was just bugged.

I got 40 tokens for my 4man SE run instead of 60 which should have been the correct figure. Am I here crying? No. I reported it, and I wait for a fix.

Maybe you enjoy running the same content over and over for no reward. If that’s the case then have fun, you’re in the tiniest of minority and deserve no respect or consideration from the devs since you’ll eat up whatever they throw at you.

If you took 5 kitten seconds to actually look at 90% of the posts on this forum you’d see that there is NOBODY reporting 6 badges after farming and ONLY people reporting that they got 6 badges for their first ever or first run of the day.

Again, if you want to keep doing the same content for no reward or bugged reward then why the kitten are you even here? Go smash your face against some poorly balanced dungeons and allow the rest of us to actually discuss how the game needs to be improved for the other 99% of players that want to get something for their time.

Only a small majority of us who actually dont cry about dungeons being too “hard” because they are easy come on the Dungeon part of the forums. We know what to expect. Rants and whiners mainly from CoF. Now we will see a wave of Arah token farmers who cant farm tokens from Arah anymore because its “Too hard”. The majority who come on the forums are whiners and ranters.

Respect? I dont need respect from anyone on the internet lol. If I get it cool, if I dont I dont care Xd Also, what good will it do to me getting respect from you lol. Im here to help players who ask questions regarding how to finish a certain dungeon. Ive almost got Dungeon Master. I couldnt finished CoF 3 because it was bugged, and itll be finished today, and Dwayna is bugged or over tuned idk so I cant complete her atm.

Or you need a team that can listen to the “Single Target command”. Press T and target the same target.

Edit:
Guardian isnt going to do much here, Id rather have a tone of rangers, necros and what not. Use consumables. Itll reduce your incoming damage, and increase your health + regen.

Hey, dont worry your not the only one. Me too;) But if its bugged, you cant do much about it but report it to Anet, so they can fix it. If they dont fix it after a while. Either they didnt understand the bugged aspect of the battle or its not bugged and players arent doing the right thing.

I just completed a 4 man SE path 2 within 1 hour ish. Only 4 deaths in total from my group within the whole run. Was fun^^

vicwolf.7862:

“Can we players not clear the dungeons?”
Dwanya is literally impossible to beat. CoF magg isn’t possible to beat the way the devs explicitly said to do it. There’s some others but I cba to find them myself.

Dwayna is bugged/over tuned. You can try everything you want with her, you wont beat her. Although its more of a graphical glitch over over tuned tbh.

Magg can be beaten, if you know how. Giving up just because you died over 10x isnt an excuse to call something impossible. Im sure anyone whos fought Dwayna would agree, that the fight with Dwayna isnt particularly hard. Its just bugged/over tuned heals.

Dont need Nerf. Why would we need a nerf on the hardest dungeon Anet gives us? Can we players not clear the dungeons? I doubt it cause I just did Varra path less than 24hours ago.

Clearly there can be nothing wrong with the dungeon difficulity. Only problem with Arrah Dungon is the bugs that came up after the patch, and before.

The bug was the dungeon couldnt be completed even after you killed the final boss. No chest or reward.

I guess they fixed it:)

Why not sharing your videos of your fighting in CoF?
And did your group has a Mesmer?
Path 1 is only available the group with Mesmer or Big Luck.

In Path 2, as Mr. Robert Hrouda said, kill them all in bomb room is his mind. Not kiting.

I have to disagree with Path 1. My first attempt was with 2 warrior, 1 thief, 2 ranger. We managed to DPS nuke the boss down. We just dished out poison, bleeds, raw DPS + spammed out any quickness we had. It still took a good 30min+ to beat the dungeon as we always had to regrouped while fighting the boss. We had a caller who would say “Now!” and we would spam out everything we had on the boss.

Path 1 can be done without mesmers or Guardians. Path 2 can be done either by kiting + death chains / kill everything in the room (or the majority to control the numbers).

Of course, if you finish the Path 1 without mesmers, you are the big luck. Only 2 options on that. If you wanna to show the third option, show us on youtube.

As Mr. Robert Hrouda said, kill them all is the tactic that official preferred method. If a stage request players got several killed to clean it, EPIC FAIL!

I dont understand why people think Guardians and Mesmers are the only key to complete path 1. I have nothing to prove to the community when it comes to this path. It can be done, and Ive done it. Others have done it without the Mesmer and Guardian.

A youtube video doesnt prove much. Its another “Bigluck” group that was able to win on video. Best answer tbh is do it yourself without a Mesmer and Guardian oriented group, and win. It can be done, once you understand that, you will think this arguement was a waste of space on the internet.

Kick him in the face!!

Clearly a bug that needs fixing:/ Shame this happened.

Or actually…after looking at the photo…it looks like Lupicus died of bordom 0.o Look at his mouth open, hes got so tired of waiting for a challenge from the community. When the community is forced to meet Lupicus to get shards, its died of bordom from waiting too long 0.o

Most CoF farmers ive met call the exploits “Jumping puzzles”. They only ask for the dungeons to be easy. I have yet to meet a CoF Farmer who asks to increase the difficulty of the dungeon. Especially path 2.

Im not a CoF farmer but if I was going to suggest how to improve the path 2 dungeon, I would say without hesitating. Make it harder to complete the Devo Nest event. Its too easy, I can do it with my eyes closed. The 1st boss needs to become smarter, and perhaps do more types of attacks, perhaps summon more ads. Its too easy.

The fireball collecting thing seems fine, but its a bit buggy, and the obstacles put by Anet seem too easy to hop over. The mobs spawned during the obstacles and the fire turrets can be ignored and tanked.

The lava field was fixed yes, but it can still be easily jumped through by the whole team who just stand on a safe spot to lure mag to them and boom. Finished with the lava field event, not much of an event tbh.

The bomb room. Well this room is quite good as it is, its near a way point, it can be kited/killed depending on how the team wants to proceed.

The last boss? The idea of the room is good, damage is good but the 2 problem I have with this room is. The Baelfire boss is too easy, his spirit doesnt do much. I can ignore him all I want, and it wont even make a noticeable difference in the fight. The giant thing in the center that everyone is attacking has too little life, or its too easy to take down.

Just a little comment from someone who doesnt farm CoF and knows nothing about the pain that CoF has caused its fan.

Wait, 5-6 hours?? Ouch, so pugging CoF to complete my armor set is out of the question. My guild isn’t that hardcore/serious about dungeons too…

If you think your guild cant help you, find another one or try to encourage them to help your cause.

I would also like to see a comment from a Dev if possible on this matter with this boss. When my dungeon group attempted to beat her, it was impossible to get the boss bellow 30percent hp no matter what. We were even on voice chat, so we had excellent coordination with the tactic being practiced at hand.

Personally I think they did a very good job with Lupicus. He is hard enough so you cannot do him with a fair amount of skill and persistence, and when you do actually beat him, because of the infamous name given to him by the forums, it made you feel like you could take on the world.

Add the fact that its a 10,000year+ old beast that was feared by mortals Although it seems as if the Elder Dragons coming to Tyria made them extinct. (For the Lore lovers )
