Yeah in SW you don’t need any skills but to run and press F no effort no meaning to the game and no desire to improve. Why collect gold if you’ll run SW again to collect gold again for?
You can play the market which is solo only.
You can find a hardcore PvE guild which do tours everyday which is over 50g a day.
You can farm SW which you’ll uninstall the game after few hours of boredom.
Not true. 2 of these people contacted me some months ago because of this thread. Now we play daily. One I knew from real life already.
Ignore Draco, he’s just here to force his dream-team ideas upon you, like he always does
What the hell do you even know about me? I suggested him the best way to get quickly group and you tell him not to listen to me and listen to you. If you don’t know any better suggestions you shouldn’t comment here and move on. Limiting options for him is selfish and hypocrite. You want to show that only you can help and no one else. I’d not listen to people to try to make others’ people suggestions invalid and think they’re the only ones who can actually help, it’s like stealing a credit. So much toxic in this game that’s sad trying to compete who’s better at helping and make others invalid.
Only 4 people to do runs will be once in a week because most of the time not all will be logged in the game at the same time to do full tour. Btw full tour is 8 dungeons not 7.
Best option is to find a guild that specializes in that kind of way instead just few people that limit your options to do so.
You have 3 options:
1. LFG, wipes, toxic and etc which you want to aviod.
2. casuals guild who also fail and won’t play the meta and PHIW which make you rage.
3. serious guilds which require meta and serious.
You won’t find anything else except friends that are the same as you and login in the same times as you do and same human brain etc etc but that won’t happen.
So choose by putting effort and playing serious with serious guys but also can make jokes on other stuff or stay casual with lfg/casual social guilds.
that’s how people in gw2 from known experience.
You could just look at posts of EU PvE guild hardcore/semi hardcore/casual/etc and contact their guild leader how to get invited. Strong guilds with true experienced players won’t bother whispering you since they add only via application form. While casual guilds seek players as much as possible. Just a word of advice.
He said Semi HC not a lot of people with all kind of skill levels.
Semi HC means need to get tested while ToW doesn’t.
There’s a difference between hc, semi hc and casual guild.
It’s like a guy requests for hamburger and you give him a salad instead.
I’m tired of those people with L2P issues. They just want to get reward for without any effort. Press 1 1 1 and get 100g. If you’re so bad at zis game can’t beat a simple casual game mechanics and complaining it’s hard then you have to quit gaming and knock your head in a bar or something. “Nerf zis it’s very hard I can’t do it because I’m hardcore casual. I want everything without doing anything.”
Those kind of people should play pacman.
Instead making challenging instances you want to nerf the already easy content.
World bosses need to redesign like shatter and jormag to make ’em at least Teq level.

not going to buy for a rip off. I’ll only buy for a reasonable price like 20-30$ but not 50$.
I don’t want any free core game and I don’t want to pay double.
I’ll just try the balance patch and absorb the entire juice of the game and go play other game.
What zone are you from, US or EU?
Bumping
A good way to avoid wall exploit anet should code it IF HP==50% then go invulnerable and stop casting and go into phase 3 as first priority. The Casting should be interrupted in 50% so it won’t continue to hit himself. But anet don’t care about dungeons they only care about casuals who press 1 1 1 in open world.

I have no downloads nor uploads. A stable clean 15mb internet connection for all the games I’ve ever played and had no issues with ‘em. In guild wars 2 it’s different. The ideal ping I play with no lags is usually 80-90 but lately after patch it started burst lags.
My friends have also that issue. Sometimes 400, 900, 2000 and etc.
The servers of anet can’t handle all the players and I can’t play like this. 2 hours I play cleanly then 2 hours with heavy lags.
If you would adapt to the new attack instead of QQing, that’d be great.
Why would I adapt to a bug. Stop being hypocrite soldier of anet. I complain because it’s a bug. No one announced nor said it’s the way the boss should be so stop being a “pro” whiteknight who thinks he’s strong and can take any challange and let people adapt to bugged content. I won’t learn a bugged content because it ain’t worth anything, it won’t add IQ to the brain nor it’ll give me a plus to the salary. It’ll only waste my time. I demand a fix. You on the other hand prefer to play a bugged game just to make it more challenging but it’s not challenging, permanent reflect/bug everyone can do but it’s waste of dps because of a bug not because of the true boss mechanics but a bug that slows the dps. People just prefer to exploit it even more with the wall exploit. I do zis boss with my guild legit with no wipes but it looks crap and waste of dps because we need to sacrifice other skills just to reflect/block it.
(edited by Draco.9480)
bumping
another useless patch with no fix.
I see people are ok with zis bug.
What kind of normal players want a bugged gameplay??!?!?!?!?!?!??!
Stop defending the developers and their excuses about being busy.
Why others don’t have bugs? Why would we have to endure it?
As an active player I demand a fixed and legit gameplay.
Fix that skill and fix the wall exploit there are ways to do it.
This bug is first priority compared to other bugs in the game.
dragonhunter has nothing to do with the spec. here are the names i suggest:
archangel
seraph
angel
proton archer
paragon
divine sniper
justiciar
crusader
paladin
zealot
I guess it’s better to one shot him instead learning a bugged content. People’ll fight the bug with an exploit and push this information as much as possible just to show the developers it’s serious more than anything.
Intro:
We’re a PvE guild that focus on dungeons+fractals. We’d like to recruit more experienced active PvE players to expand our guild to form more teams for fast tours daily. We have a TeamSpeak server.

If necro was really OP people would play it in PvE records and sPvP competetion but meh the best build for necro isn’t that even useful in team play and it’s only a great build.
Necros don’t have any place and WvW is boring;
Necros are the least I see in the game.
It has been a month and they still didn’t fix it? Seriously Anet do something about this bug it annoys 90% of the community and encourage people to wall exploit it.
Pros want to fight Lupicus in the legit way but I don’t see the point now because I need to break my head on a freakin’ bugged boss and time my reflects, blocks, dodges and go into defensive/evasive build. Why would I try kitten a bugged boss. Fix it already and make sure you can’t place wall of reflection and temporal curtain on that specific wall.
It’s really simple to fix that skill. Just make the it’ll shoot from 200 range way from the boss to X range and then it won’t hit the melee group. It’s simple to fix it for good programmers.
This sounds pretty good. Just is it an EU or NA guild? Also, is there some annoying trailrun or anything? There’s none and it’s eu – count me in!
If they have no trial don’t expect smooth runs or good players at all.
Good speed runners do trial people. You have too much expectations.
too many pve guilds have been created that separates good players.
speed clearing guilds don’t reply to posts and advice ’em their guild.
They post ’emselves in the forum/youtube/twitch and wait for people to fill an app form or whisper ’em ingame. you should look at other posts and see what they offer.
bump
is anet doing something about zis?
Yes it needs discounts and give us the option to buy fractals skins just like we buy from dungeon vendors.
If you want more challenge then anet should upgrade other bosses. Lupicus is better the way before the patch because that’s how the skills are described and casuals can’t do him anyway. Making t harder with a bug and without giving us any information about it’s really kitten.
They need to make something that guards won’t be able to place the wall on the wall.
To fix Necrid Bolt mechanic to how it was before.
To stop his shadowstep being bugged in the same place.
it hits the melee even if 1 or 5 so it bounces to all the melee line. tried to trio lupi boom all 3 down from 1 bolt instantly.
It was always like this all the time: “Necrid Bolt – casts a single, powerful, bouncing projectile at a single target; only hits targets at range. Will not hit players at melee range.”
After 2-3 patches now it his while in melee what it shouldn’t be.
I demand a serious fix in this because we can’t play in melee like this.

If you don’t have experience in team play you should watch videos.
Our guild created 2 videos and they’re a bit casual speed runs.

you won’t find a good fotm guild which doesn’t require 90-100% representation time.
serious fotm guild or dungeon+fotm guilds won’t let you rep however you want.
they’ll demand you to represent in pve content all the time even if it’s teq or open world.
When a player triggers Lupicus’s Bubble at phase 3 it won’t be on the target that’s near Lupicus and the player keeps half meleeing it.
I want to anet to fix it so we can so who really triggers that bubble.
I want whoever does that mistake to pay for it by dying because he doesn’t have the skills to keep fighting lupicus without triggering his bubble.

Maybe you’re looking for an elite guild at desolation that run dungeons?
It doesn’t matter from what server if it’s related to dungeons and fractals because you can get inside, get daily and get the guild missions rewards anyway as long as it’s from Europe server.
Try this one, we run dungeons and fractals a lot and we’re around 30+:

Well, anet did listen to one of my reqeusts about name change of the character and many other things from other players. It’s really logical change for everyone and no one would be against it 99%. Like they saved us with wallet with the tokens eating slots so why not this and remove this RNG system. If ya want RNG make it between few ascended types and not 0.00000001% chance of special ascended skin that is only from teq/wurm.
I’ve finished a lot of Triple Wurm and Tequatl but can’t get any ascended skin from ’em. People who barely played or have all the time in their life to do 3-4 times world bosses in a day can get those.
I’ve thought if after completing each world boss will reward us special tokens, depends on difficulty of course. Examples: Triple Wurm 10 tokens, Tequatl 6 tokens, Shatterer 2 tokens, Shadow Behemoth 1 token, Claw of Jormag 3 tokens and etc.
To buy a Tequatl’s Hoard for 200 tokens for example. It’d be long but still 100% chance to get it.
I’m tired of those RNG which leave the unlucky people down just like the fractal rewards.
I think the following currencies should be added to the wallet:
World Boss Tokens – Let’s call it Heroic Emblems.
Fractal tokens – to buy fractal weapon skins and not to depend on RNG.
Geode – to not eat your inventory/bank slots.
Bandit Crest – " " " " “/” ".
Of course those world boss tokens to award from each boss daily.
Dear Draco.9480,
Thank you for your comment. We would prefer to keep this thread free from the support vs zerk debate as it is more appropriately held in other parts of the forum. I have said the same thing to Sloth.8729 above.
However, at risk of sounding dismissive, we respectfully offer the following reply:
We think that 5 zerk groups have their own unique benefits, and we do not doubt their efficacy in dungeons, especially where all 5 members are skilled and experienced. However, 5 zerk groups also require great coordination and skills, and have a low margin for error. The culmination of these factors makes full zerk groups more prone to wipes, and less accessible to newer/casual players. Finally, a harmonious balance between support and dps allows for maximum focus in dpsing: effective dps is not only about gear but equally about technique and attitude. 4 zerk players which are absolutely dedicated to just damage may out-dps 5 zerks players who have to split their attention between survival and damage.
Just because Zerk guards have access to the same skills as Support guards does not mean that they support just as well. First, zerk guards have low healing power which means you cannot outheal certain difficult bosses. Second, if you are focusing on dps, you are no longer a dedicated supporter – many zerkers go on about active defences like blinds, blocks, and reflects – but those are just one type of support; there are plenty more including heals, wards, constant protection and regen, meat shielding, etc, many of which require a person to be specced and equipped as a support guardian.
No healer can ever guarantee that there are no wipes for no one is infallible. But having dedicated healing can make wipes a lot less frequent. Not everyone does speed runs. There exists a large volume of decently skilled but casual players who don’t want to engage in complex tactics, follow detailed TS instructions, or focus 100% for 2 hr speed run trains. 5 Zerk parties require that people coordinate closely since it cuts very close to death – as you aptly mention: kill or be killed. This may not be something that casual persons want to do.
Anyone who plays in a 1 Support 4 Zerk party can improve in PVE just as much as people who play in 5 Zerk parties. The improvement lies in improving the quality of personal dps, using the absolutely minimum amount of dodges to survive, and synchronising attacks for maximum team dps, just to name a few.
The ‘GW2 is not WoW’ argument has been cited plenty of times by the zerk movement, sometimes on levels bordering on zealotry and fanaticism. GW2 is certainly not WoW. It does not require everyone to adhere to the trinity of tank, heal, and dps. But it doesn’t mean we must adhere to the 5 Zerk philosophy as well. Other party make-ups have their own unique benefits and appeal. In the end, it is not just about how fast runs are being done, but also the smoothness and ease to which runs are executed. Everyone has different needs thereby allowing for different permutations for party make-ups. Imposing undue pressure on players to adhere to the 5 Zerk philosophy may not only propagate notions which are untrue, but can also prejudice the feelings and creative spirit of fellow players.
In short, we think that a healthy balance between support and zerk allows for a fun, pressure-free, and effective dungeoning experience. We do not doubt that 5 Zerk parties are still meta and are still very viable in certain circumstances, but the 1 Support 4 Zerk philosophy is also viable, especially for casual players and anyone who is willing to give the philosophy a sincere chance.
Yours Faithfully,
Ohlette
Casual player=/=Focused player
If not enough skill and coordination to keep alive as five berserkers then the group is a total joke because this game is already casual and doesn’t require much of defensive tactics like in WoW or WS.
If the group survive as five berserkers and kill the boss first then it’s more useful and quicker than 4 dpsers and 1 healer/support. But if you wish your composition I don’t mind I just said the facts about speed running and advised you to level above the casual level for the sake of game play, performance, time and efficiency.
