Guild Wars 2

Condition removals + Dodge + Don’t use any conditions on boss or he’ll heal himself (bleed crits can’t be helped other conditions can be avoided). Spread out. Try to find a spot where you can quickly go out of line of sight.

Same in Desolation, Gate is closed.

I have a serious concern in regards to my guilds security. It was always in the back of my mind but there was no way to verify the issue till it occurred.

Today a hacker or guild thief (yet to be figured out) emptied half our guild vault before I was lucky enough to be there at the time to notice and demote him.

I can’t report a hacker because it has to be the person whose account that was hacked who has to report it for security reasons.

My main issue though is Guild vault security. Arenanet can’t/won’t return items stolen from the guild vault by hackers/thieves.

If someone gets hacked or turns into a thief there is NO way for me to keep the items safe. Sure I can disable access to the guild vault to everyone but myself but that completely defeats the point of having one. We already have the Guild Stash for officers only and the guild vault for regular members so the most valuable stuff is ‘safe’.

But what if one of my trusted officers ends up getting hacked? There’s no way to protect the vaults properly and securely. There’s no way to guarantee items safety. This I feel is a huge security issue. Hackers must be having a field day!

So I sincerely suggest for a way where items in guild vaults can be tracked and retrieved by Arenanet or if it’s sold the gold it made to be deposited into the guild vault. There’s already a log there that can’t be tampered with as proof.

They’d just need to be able to follow the trail to the person, see what they’ve done with each of the items. If they were sold to see how much it gave them. If the gold was then subsequently mailed to another person to retrieve it from them etc.

I’d also suggest an option for ranks to get a notification if someone is taking more than a certain amount of items out at the same time (Lets say more than 10 with stacked items counting as one). As we’re busy playing the game and wouldn’t notice our bank being wiped clean. I was incredibly lucky to have been at the bank at that time.

My last none security related suggestion is that items should be able to be stacked from inventory into the guild vault which you can’t at the moment and is incredibly annoying!

I assume you’re referring to Temporal Curtain. Yea it’s the nr 4 Focus skill. It’s a great way to pull people off keep walls (I’ve admittedly done it a few times in Eternal Battleground Dark Room jumping puzzle… Mean but so so funny).

Basically when you place temporal curtain first it creates a purple distorted looking wall/line on the floor. This acts like a speed boost to allies, a slow to any enemies running across it.

The fun part is when you use it’s second ability ‘Into the Void’ this removes the Temporal Curtain and by doing so pulls the enemies towards the line, knocking them over. So if you place it at the edge of the wall people are standing on it’ll pull them towards it and off the side.

What would be the best way for me to report someone who we believe has been hacked in my guild? They took half the guild bank. I was lucky to have noticed so quick as I happened to be at the bank at the time. I took screenshots of the list of things taken. He’s not responding to anything we say and I quickly demoted him. His username is Maier.4520

Edit: He’s just standing in LA now at the bank assumingly clearing it out atm.

Latinkuro.9420:

On that note though one thing they need to change is that you can run a dungeon in explore mode even if you haven’t done story mode at all, all that is needed is for one person to have done story mode to go in 1st and select explore mode.

If they make it an absolute requirement that you need to have done story mode 1st to enter explore mode, this might solve at least part of the issue that no one wants to run story mode at all.

Also minimum level requirements need to be met I’ve seen people doing dungeons at lv 28 and stuff and those are probably the ones also complaining that dungeons are to hard !

What happened to the old faithful you do not meet the minimum requirements to run this dungeon message ?

Because the game isn’t strict about levels, It’s just a rough indication of what level you’ll want to be when doing the dungeon.

As for people not wanting to do storymode, If you’re in a friendly guild there should be plenty of people willing to help out.

And in case of people not having done storymode I suppose it makes sense that they should but then that would also make it harder for people to find people for explorable dungeons.

Kain.9167:

Fay.2735:

Technically they already done that with storymode/explorable

Technically no it isn’t. Story mode doesn’t give tokens as rewards so nobody wants to run it.

That’s because the special dungeon gear is intended for those who are able to run them.

As far as I’m aware they intend on adding more dungeons in the near future so perhaps they will be harder if you find all of the dungeons and paths easy (Which despite having done most I don’t think they’re all easy).

It’s only the first month and people are still going through content and learning their skills. There’s not enough people who have done all dungeons to warrant an increase in difficulty or another dungeon added yet but would be cool if they added a creepy one for halloween.

Asura! We’re far superior

Technically they already done that with storymode/explorable

Rhinala.1739:

Part of your content might be correct, the way you wrote it is insulting and disgusting.
I hate dungeons not because thy are too difficult, but because in MY OPINION thy are boring, the dungeon mechanics are dependent on the bloated HP and damage output rather then good skills, traps, patrols, ambushes and so on. some of the “whiners” state that, thy don’t like it some don’t care about the difficulty, some ask for difficulty that will make the dungeons a lot more challenging (go play GW1 Shards of Orr, Vloxen Excavations and Slavers’ Exile in hard mode, but you don’t need to read the threads you already know. but this is a different story.
If you want to enlight people with your knowledge post a thread that will teach them their error, explain the skill/trait synergy, dynamic trait changes, known boss mechanics. but no you decided to tarnish and look down at those who don’t know/don’t understand or utterly frustrated… good job m8.

/rent over

I think the OP is just frustrated with all the people complaining about the content being too difficult when it’s only difficult because people don’t know how to play their professions or work in a team or have the patience to learn the tactics or only run PuG’s and expect it to work. It’s this that makes them think dungeons are difficult or boring because they don’t know how to do them.

As for dungeons being boring, apart from some boss fights the majority are interesting and engaging and fun to figure out. I like that the mobs in between bosses are difficult as well and not just the irrelevant trash to get through to get to the good parts. Instead the entire dungeons are challenging and fun. In my opinion anyway.

Unless you are one of those people who farms dungeons doing the same content one after the other then yea it’ll be boring but that then is kind of your own fault for making it into a grind. Mix it up and do other dungeons and other content in between.

That said I do agree that some fights are really boring and need some adjusting like CoF path 3 end boss and lava room in CoE are the worst I can think of. Majority though have something interesting and different about them. Also if you find dungeons boring there’s other content for you to do, maybe dungeons are just not your thing.

Edit: Also if you feel like you aren’t being challenged enough try playing a more difficult profession and set challenges for yourself.

I’ve actually reported something similar where he stops doing any of his abilities except spawn essences for majority if not all of the fight.

Hawken.7932:

To be fair, HellHound, I think it’s at least partly gear and partly builds. I’ve felt a huge difference in survivability between different build types in dungeons. That and balancing the stats on your gear with the stats that you lack from your build is important.

It’s certainly important to know your class well and use appropriate stats and trait builds but lvl and quality of gear isn’t as important.

As far as I’m aware when the party leader leaves everyone gets kicked out of the instance. I assume this is what Uder is upset about rightfully so. I think if the leader leaves the leadership should go to the next person who joined the party rather than the entire party being kicked.

callidus.7085:

@Fay
Nooo nooo nooo lol I don’t mind my pace at all.. I’m just saying that’s why I haven’t done explorables.. to be honest, I hope to find a pack of noobs when I start doing explorables and suffering through the dungeons together :-P And no.. that’s not sarcasm.. I would like to do this.. but I’m just hoping that when I do it will be with like minded people that don’t mind dying and enjoy taking their time. I think one of the funniest moments so far with the group I’ve been doing dungeons with in storymode was when I attempted to leap at an effigy in CoF while it was still friendly (not activated) and i fell to my death behind him lol my group had a nice laugh at that.. things like that make the game fun/funny.. being able to make mistakes with your friends and laugh about it later once you’ve completed the dungeon.

That’s the way we did it Friendly group of people suffering together, having a laugh about it. Then eventually succeeding is very rewarding and fun. I just have to warn you that figuring out some of these paths (without looking up tactics) can take hours. I remember being stuck on one of the TA paths for 8 hours because we just couldn’t figure it out.

callidus.7085:

lol yeeeeaaaa… I haven’t done any explorables yet.. I want to do all the dungeons on story mode before I do any explorables. I just don’t have a lot of time and with a family and all that I need to split my attention between I get 2 – 3.5 hours a night on the week days to play. I think I’m lucky to have an 80 at this point. But yea, I’ve actually run story mode on the first few dungeons a lot.. it’s a great way to build up influence for your guild and to build teamwork/snyergy amongst your guildmates.

I would suggest if you don’t have a lot of time to find people who have already done the explorables so you don’t have to waste time learning all the tactics yet it’s still hard enough that it’s challenging and you get to do the content.

DivineBeing.2086:

Wait a second, are you still regarding Story Mode ONLY when you compare dungeons in this post? If so, that is awesome!

See, I do AC explorer mode every day that I get on. I did it all day last Saturday 7AM to 1AM. Same thing on Sunday. So you can imagine how many times I have done that dungeon.

I did CM explorer path 1 & 2, the HARDEST dungeon I have ever done. The rifleman have an eagle eye range and can two shot you if you move, but if you don’t move than you’re getting pelted by multiple rifleman at once since the mobs are formed in groups of 20+. Maybe I was just completely clueless at this dungeon, along with my guildies except one person, but CM just sucks. lol.

CM is not a hard dungeon but it does require some really good tactics to overcome the problems. Path 2 is quite a tough one though. There’s other dungeons and paths higher up that are much harder.

It kind of looks as if you are pushing the mob back. You don’t need to stand on top of him to hit him. I think it’s designed to make it more realistic seeing as it would be weird fighting a mob while inside him so I think it’s just your standard collision detection. I don’t really see how this is an issue just don’t try to merge with the mob :P

Post your system setup and like Iselia said above are there any errors when it happens? It does sound like an overheating issue to me or possibly if it’s a custom made computer that there’s a compatibility issue or some sort of electrical problem.

Either way if it shuts off without warning it’s usually a sign that your system is trying to protect itself from being damaged.

Also it wouldn’t hurt to do a virus scan.

I use the torch for certain encounters, It’s best used in a group of mobs rather than single target in which case the pistol is better. It’s also a good intro into a fight and also a good exit for when things get too heated. It increases your survivability at melee range in that way.

The phantasm is especially useful to make you less squishy. I think both the pistol/torch are at about equal footing it just depends on the encounter (In terms of PvE/Dungeons)

Recently.1043:

Are we playing the same game? Yes items matter in PvE, the difference between someone wearing blues and greens, and someone in all exotics is pretty substantial. And the skill vs items is about PvP……… Have you played sPvP before? Did you play gw 1 before? Your basically taking an idea/statement out of context and trying to apply it to something else. Go roll a lvl 1 char, and play sPvP. There is no gear imbalance, you have access to everything that everyone else has access to. THATS what they mean about skill over items.

PvE is a whole different story. You don’t get access to all the items for free, so gear imbalance exists.

This isn’t true. Sure better gear gives you an advantage but it’s not paramount. Most of my gear is green or blues and some not even lvl 80. My accesories/jewelery is even more dire. One of them is level 54! Granted most of my weapons are lvl 80 exotics but that’s it.

That said you’d think I’d be terrible in dungeons according to you stating that good gear is so incredibly important. Then how come I’ve done ALL dungeons on ALL paths upto Arah (Which we started working on now) without wiping a billion times, without being a ‘dead weight’ to my party. Hell half the time I’m the one left standing and contribute perfectly fine to my party and the fight.

This is the reason why Anet hasn’t put in an option to check other peoples gear and I certainly hope they never will because people will value gear quality over player skill because people have it ingrained in them that gear is what makes the person good which is silly.

Sure if someone is lvl 80 wearing lvl 10 whites that’s another story but you don’t need to be full exotic to be good. I’ve seen some fully exotic geared players who do pretty terrible in dungeons.

Well to be fair, You have to give those poor NPC a break. You’re just coming into their homes murdering them, slashing at their faces. I would step back as well if it were me.

Anyway, There’s a reason why melee profession/builds tend to have cripples/immobilizes/leaps. It’s to keep up with the mobs. If they’d just stand there and take a beating it would be boring.

I remember doing the dungeon for the first time and none of us knew what we were doing and it was hard to learn. That said we did get through it and started to do harder explorables.

It takes time to learn your profession and skills and how to apply them in a dungeon, It’s not the same as out in the world. Looking back now I can’t imagine how I found storymode difficult. Sure it’s still not a walk in the park but after having done so many explorables I can look back now and see that AC storymode was actually a good introduction to dungeons.

If you’re on desolation EU, feel free to contact me and I’ll help you if you want.

Fay.2735:

The explorable dungeons are not meant for PuG’s but skilled and well coordinated teams with a good tactical leader. The ‘fight’ is fine, it’s very doable with some coordination.

did all 3 path with a pug group…though a gifted set of pugs….pugs no less.

I didn’t say it was impossible for PuG’s I just said they weren’t designed for PuG’s Also vent isn’t required either just good timing.

The way we do it is go around the room as a group killing 2 out of the 3 mobs at each torch (and some in the way along the way) then we each position ourselves near a torch while losing aggro of the mob (stealth etc.)

Then I tell them when to start killing and when my mob is dead I start to count from 3 and when I say go the people use the torch. Works very well. I also suggest that they don’t kill their mobs till I say 3 just to make sure we’re on even footing. Usually only takes two tries max.

Talon Vector.5748:

yep pugs get pooed on thats just how it goes in this game, it will b anets overall recipe for failure, not to mention only playin the game for cosmetic reasons, but knowing how anet is an american company but dosnt support freedom of speech in the forums, this will prob b deleted. interesting huh……

Raids on other games generally don’t work with PuG’s either or very rarely. The explorables are the raid equivalent content in this game. As far as I’m aware the raid content in other games did not cause a recipe for failure as it’s widely accepted that it’s not meant for PuG’s but people seem insistent in this game to expect dungeons to be easy faceroll content, Which they aren’t and shouldn’t be.

As for cosmetic reasons, They’ve always stated the game is about fun and anything you earn is mostly Aesthetic in value and will not give you a major advantage over another person strength wise. Plus there are many alternatives in acquiring top stat gear so everyone can get them in their own way.

Just sounds like a troll. Write down their name and don’t invite again. Try to keep a list of people who are reliable, skilled and work well in a team then you can whisper them if you need a party for something or even better is to join a decent sized guild who are into dungeons

The explorable dungeons are not meant for PuG’s but skilled and well coordinated teams with a good tactical leader. The ‘fight’ is fine, it’s very doable with some coordination.

ThiBash.5634:

Lowering the health and armor of a boss doesn’t make it less challenging. Only faster.

Instead of pulling of the same trick for 5 minutes, you now have to do it for 4 minutes. Given how the dungeon’s made, I’d say that’d actually be an improvement.

These dungeons aren’t designed for average players or PuG’s but skilled, well coordinated teams.

Unavoidable instantkill mechanics have nothing to do with teamwork or player skill.

They are almost all avoidable and if not there’s something you can do to counteract them. The only ability the boss has that you can’t really avoid is the line of spikes but those you should be able to ‘absorb’ damage wise and if you do get downed you can use tendrils and/or team members can try to rez you.

Either way it’s about tactics and teamwork. I’ve taken Leek in the above post into the CoE dungeon and we completed it without any major issues so it definitely can be done with a good team and good tactics.

issacTheMarker.8530:

you are darn right exp modes were not touched. Subject Alpha was and pain in the kitten. OP aoe’s, minions, and a crystal that if you happen to get trapped in your dead because everyone else is too busy dodging those awful aoes to break you out. The guy deserves a nerf. It’s this kind of design that’s outrageous not having a holy trinity set up.

They shouldn’t nerf the boss. His fights are engaging, fun. Require skill and teamwork. It’s very much doable with a group of decent players. I understand it’s a difficult boss but what do you expect it’s the second highest level dungeon in the game. Designed to be end-game, raid equivalent difficulty content.

These dungeons aren’t designed for average players or PuG’s but skilled, well coordinated teams. If they start nerfing CoE and Arah it would seriously screw over part of the gaming community. The whole point is that not everyone can do them so the dungeon title and gear of these dungeons are harder to obtain.

Leek.9143:

Fay.2735:

Sure I’ll help you, I’m on Desolation I find the teleportation path easiest of the three to be honest because you can dodge the spikes on the floor easily enough.

If i could take you up on that myself and my guild would be very appriciative, ign is leek zola and im usually on from ~6.30pm till about midnight on weekdays, more so on weekends.

i love this dungeon but cant seem to get the hang of subject alpha

Just add me on contacts and send me a whisper/mail IGN: Lilyfay

Rise.9702:

The instrumental is amazing. <3
Not to be mean but I didn’t really like the girl singing.
I’m more of an instrumental fan.

Same here the instruments are amazing. The girl singing doesn’t really have the right voice for the song but still nicely done. She’s better known for the Skyrim music cover which suits her voice better. Still really nicely done

See what I mean here: http://youtu.be/wr-buV4tYOA?hd=1

Just found this and I’m surprised it hadn’t been mentioned yet or has many views. Really nicely done and thought I’d share with all of you. It’s a cover of the guild wars 2 song ‘Fear not this night’ by Lara, Taylor and Malukah (Piano, Violin, Vocals). Enjoy

http://youtu.be/za1OSyPchbg?hd=1

(Oops, sorry for putting this in the wrong forums didn’t even know this one existed XD)

Kyiv.9621:

I agree Drew, btw CoE is one of my favorite dungeons, especially the laser part where everyone gets naked =D

I didn’t I find it quite amusing watching those videos though I didn’t realize how hard a time people we’re having it just seemed logic to me as a Mesmer to put a portal down for them XD only took a few times to figure out the rhythm of the lasers and get across.

http://youtu.be/Rd3Gw0QRLC4?hd=1

Kyiv.9621:

I did all 3 paths last night, done them many times before and I really didn’t notice a difference in the difficulty at all. Seems about the same, maybe 1% easier.

Yup they are about the same. I felt the second path was easiest but it might vary depending on your party setup as well probably.

Leek.9143:

Ive been trying to do this with a few guildies for the past couple of nights and we cant seem to work out the tactics on the teleportation route with subject alpha.

We tried before the nerf kiting and dodging but this ended up in wipes. today we have tried 4 standing in melee range with one ranged to dodge the ice crystals, once the ranged went down it was game over for the rest. this was with 1 engi, 2 rangers, 1 ele(or war) and 1 necro.

I am not one for asking for content to be nerfed as i know there is always a methodology to use, a helping hand from someone who is experienced would help though. If anyone on Desolation would like to teach me please feel free to contact me, or a video showing someones methods on the last boss would be awesome.

Sure I’ll help you, I’m on Desolation I find the teleportation path easiest of the three to be honest because you can dodge the spikes on the floor easily enough.

For those interested in how Arah went (Can’t imagine many but anyway :P), We didn’t complete the first path but we did defeat Giganticus Lupicus. I was streaming at the time:

http://www.twitch.tv/alunaefay/b/334236760

As for the fight I ended up going for staff which I don’t usually use and at the start I went auto-attack while the rest sorted out the adds so I could keep an eye out for when he goes invulnerable. I also couldn’t use clones cause the grubs go for them so first phase of the fight is pretty boring for me. The cue I gave the group was timewarp/chaos storm.

Second phase is the hardest but we pulled through this time. We had wiped a few times before it so we hadn’t the best of hope to complete it today as people had to go. Third phase was quite fun just a shame I couldn’t get in there and do my usual crazy melee moves

But I thoroughly enjoy difficult content like this it was a lot of fun figuring out.

ComeAndSee.1356:

The problem IMHO with CoE exploreable mode is you first try doing it at 35 and it gives you a bad impression on the games dungeons.

CoE is a level 80 dungeon? Explorable anyway. AC is the level 35 one and it’s great

Hawkian.6580:

I’ve done all three paths. Alpha will seem quite a bit easier to veterans of the early days of this dungeon but the overall difficulty is still solid. Punishing for mistimed dodges and bad decisions, rewarding for good teamwork. Faster complete times, but nothing really lost in the challenge. Well done, ArenaNet.

Yup definitely my favourite dungeon together with AC thus why I was concerned about the difficulty of it. I enjoy the fights a lot. We’re doing Arah tonight

Robert Hrouda.1327:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dungeon-Patch-Discussion-10-1/first#post324068

I explain things a bit. The entire dungeon wasn’t nerfed, and explorable mode wasn’t really touched. Only a couple units and bosses.

We must be getting better then :P that said I think the problem with the end boss is still a bug we just had the same thing happen on the third path where the boss works fine at the first and second encounter but on the third he gets stuck on his summoning essence routine.

I’m not sure if it was intended or not but I can’t imagine that having the boss stand still the majority of the encounter and not do his AOE attacks etc. was intended.

I took a video of it but the program crashed so I could only get part of it, Basically majority of the fight is like this:

http://youtu.be/QbgH91bJUT4?hd=1

On a side note here is me jumping over the laserbeams bit twice in a row because helan was snoozing and didn’t portal :P

http://youtu.be/Rd3Gw0QRLC4?hd=1

Okay we just did Path 2 and it was so much easier now (This was the easiest path already). I don’t know if it was just our party being better at it but the golems felt way too easy to kill (Don’t know if they were nerfed but it felt like it).

As for the boss he worked as intended on first and second fight but he kind of bugged out on the last fight. He stopped doing any of his abilities apart from spawning essences which we quickly aoe’d down. In the mean time he was just standing there as we nuked him down for 90% of his health he did nothing but spawn some essences occasionally.

Path 2 is a faceroll now Hopefully path 3 is harder. About to run it now so I’ll let you all know.

I already knew about the work around with the /edit /quote thing and refreshing the page never works for me.

Krag.6210:

It’s simple: Subject Alpha
The fight is pretty easy in itself but he has so much hp it is tedious.
And you meet him three times in each of the three paths.

Add to that that 1/3 of the dungeon is the same in each path and that the mobs near the entrance had way too much hp.

It’s a long dungeon and the massive hp pools weren’t really adding anything.

As for the laser part, you just have to jump over the laser fast, check this video: http://youtu.be/ReMqbuwS98Q

Lol, that video. It’s easy as a mesmer put portal down, time it right then right at the end blink through the vertical lasers. Pop portal voila XD Requires some good timing though, Another mesmer in my party was less succesful (:P nabby).

I think the point of him having a large HP pool is so you need to be able to survive long enough to kill him so it’s a test of endurance and skill. It’s not like CoF path 3 boss that makes you fall asleep.

As for repetitive boss, yea it would’ve been nice if they just made them different looking mobs for each path like Subject Alpha, Beta etc. but his abilities are different for each path.

That said at the same time I also like it, it gives the dungeon a sort of unique feel and Subject Alpha becomes your arch nemesis. I kind of like that it only has the one boss as with the other dungeons it’s always someone different so you don’t really get that feeling of battling a tough enemy that keeps getting tougher (granted I’ve yet to do Arah, been doing each one at a time so I don’t know what those are like yet) but you create more of a bond with your enemy when you have to face him a few times if that makes sense?

snaplemouton.1294:

The Project Alpha boss was the problem. The arcane prison (or w/e they call it) could force you to be killed if you ended up being the lucky one to get trapped right after he use his double AoE. Rezzing you is nearly impossible without a rez spell. I found the boss really fun to do and it’s the kind of things I wanna see in a dungeon, big AoE to avoid or get one shotted or nearly one shotted. Just not the forced to be killed by a mechanic you cannot avoid.
Didn’t try the nerfed version of it. I hope they didn’t nerf it to the ground since I love the fights a lot.

Same here so much fun but yea I can see how people complain about the crystals but all they would really need to do to make that easier is decrease the health of the crystals. Either way it was still fairly easy to get people out. At least I thought so.

Also as for rezzing you’re meant to use the little adds and tendril things to rez yourself and the rest of the party can help if you target the thing you’re trying to kill or if you get them on lowish health before they are needed.

I haven’t done the nerfed dungeon yet but despite it being a difficult dungeon I wouldn’t say it impossible and I felt it was at the right difficulty level for that level. I hadn’t heard of people complaining about CoE it just required a lot of dodging and teamwork.

I can see how some abilities of the main boss are a pain like the instant line of spikes that you can barely see if not at all coming. All the other abilities are dodge-able. I love getting up close with my Mesmer, Sword/pistol and timing the dodging it’s so much fun. The only other one is the crystals perhaps but with good teamwork it’s less of an issue (+ <3 Blink).

As for the other bosses the only one that was a real pain was the one with the shield because you had to pretty much have people on the lasers at all time so for two people to do it took longer than needed making it quite a boring fight though the room looks awesome, If it were me who designed it I’d have made it so the shield stays down longer but the boss harder so the entire party can jump down.

One thing I’m not sure about is how you’re meant to get past the lasers bit without a Mesmer. I always put a portal down, jump across and blink. I really can’t see another way to do it but I guess we haven’t had need to look for it.

As for the other bosses I really enjoyed them. The one with the console and army of golem bombs, so much fun! The HotW butcher style boss. I’d say together with AC it’s been the most enjoyable dungeon. I sincerely hope the nerf wasn’t too much.

On a different note thanks for nerfing the Searing Effigy fight (Hopefully not by too much) but it should make it doable by more party setups and not just uber deepz’n’poisons. I like the mechanics of the fight and it really just needed a little tweaking so it’s not a nukefest.

Windows 8 is the worst thing since Windows 2000. Why would you even choose to go to Windows 8 is beyond me. It’s like Microsoft sticks to a pattern:

98 = good
2000 = bad
XP = good
Vista = bad
7 = good
8 = bad

Anyway… I don’t believe Windows 8 is supported by the game so it’s probably why it doesn’t run the way it should.

We just spread out on the top rafters and kite the adds around and doing damage to the boss in between. Made for a long fight but got it down eventually. Just a bit tedious!

I play a Mesmer and rarely ever get stuck into anything and when I do I can easily get out using my abilities :/

It would also be nice if they’d at least acknowledge this happened and if they intend on doing something about it. It’s not so much the karma, silver and xp and such but some people earned rewards/achievements for difficult content or got some rare loot that they now no longer have. At the very least if they aren’t going to reimburse us to at least explain to us what happened.

My party and I just completed the dungeon again and got the achievement but we’re still missing the tokens from last night (+ two people who were in the party didn’t come with us this time so they are still without achievement).

There doesn’t seem to be enough people upset to make it game wide so I assume it’s just our server several of my guild members also reported having lost progress some of which serious like ours whilst others not as much just few items and such missing.
