Can we just.. have a CDI on all dungeons including fractals? Please arena net….

I can see the future O_O

’I’m upset because I can’t do this. clearly just cheesing. pls nerf.’

There’s no need to advertise stacking as it is the current accepted practice. If you want to go out of your way to not be a part of that, then you are free to advertise it. Furthermore,

DigitalKirin.9714:

you don’t have the right to tell others that they can’t use that tool in their runs.

Then make your own party and advertise no stacking. Enjoy.

Your work here is blessed. Go forth and conquer!

I believe they should split pve and pvp so that gear like rampagers can be adjusted accordingly for pve where it is currently underpowered.

We are under lock down. The oppression has begun.

a t s e.9614:

Terrible PvEers can and will faceroll any dungeon in this game. Terrible PvPers will never win anything no matter how hard they try.

How can you call yourself skilled at PvE if you didint beat any hard boss that no-one can beat? Anybody literally anybody can complete any dungeon path in this game. The said ’’skilled’’ PvEers are only doing the currect easy-mode content faster than noobs. That’s it. No matter how terrible I am , I can do excatly what the ’’skilled’’ PvEer did , it will just take me more time. While if you are bad at PvP , you are just bad and will never win.

Are you sure about that? Because if I go over to the pvp forum all I see is

‘omg spirit rangers require no skill to play, it’s just pew pew to win! omg necros are OP, bads using AI to win pls nerf! omg warrior’s passive healing OP pls nerf!’

Ohey look I even found something from you

a t s e.9614:

Seriously its just pathetic , they dont even use their weapon skills. Just run around in circles like a headless chicken and let your minions do the work…

Sadly , the only way to counter this is to jump in the aoe spam bandwagon. There is no other way around , no matter how good you are , nothing can be done against this broken build. The minions deal insane damage, they have CC, they throw condis on you… And the saddest part is that 0 skill is required to play this build.

Everytime I Q for team there’s like maybe 2 other teams on in my bracket, it’s really boring.

The other night I faced the same team 6 times in a row. zzzzzz

Oh and when my bracket isn’t on, just get matched up against noobs and win like 500/25, I actually feel awful. :/

J Eberle.9312:

I don’t think you understand. The dungeon hard cores are competing against each other for the fastest run times.

No, I understand that quite well. I just also understand that there is nothing competitive about people who rely on ‘good RNG’ over skills required to manage unpredictable situations. If killing another player that is actually actively working against you means nothing, then seeing who can stack in corners the fastest and get the best reflects off means far less than nothing.

spoj.9672:

Also saying we are competing against the AI is like saying pvp’ers are competing against the capture points.

Relying on Rng exists in pvp as well btw. From the random match ups right down to whether your sigil of fire triggers.

Not sure your point. The riders make the race. PvE in gw2 is more competitive than the PvP. Sorry to tell you, there are more and better PvE guilds in gw2 than PvP, so it’s as simple as that. If you enjoy playing GW2 and you are a gamer who enjoys competition, you play PvE.

As far as Dota2 goes, DnT is pretty good at that as well

This game’s PvE is so uncompetitive that you have to MAKE it competitive. I don’t see how you could possibly argue against that.

Same could be said about pvp, not seeing your point.

Competition involves two opposing sides or teams that are vying for a victory over the other.

AI has no sense of competition because it has no desire to win.

Gotta agree with this.

Rampager 2014 yolo swag

Stooperdale.3560:

So you don’t think players should be able to use timing and skill to actively prevent damage. You want players to be forced to soak up damage through stats from gear and heal through instead. Play another MMO.

Gonna have to side with a-net man, that zerk gear is clearly just too OP and not what was intended. The real game play is in this video. This is a marvel of game design, truly the pinnacle of excellence. This is the solution.

Don’t pay them any attention.

Writetyper.1985:

dominik.9721:

Because you master PvE if you know the animations and if you have good reaction times.
PvP you master if you have the better lame build.

Hold on, let me just try and attempt some sick PvE on a defensive play how you want non-zerker exploit build. Y-yay! this is taking literally 10-20 minutes to bust through some massive massive health sack! I-i’m having loads of f-fun! I love big anet

This is how the game was intended to be played.

I honestly thought he was being sarcastic because I doubt anyone could slap on a zerk set and just do that >_>

imo, I would be interested in 5v5 death match with some unique rewards that is all. ty.

Ima leave this here. Enjoy.

Agony.3542:

By removing all active defeneses you will only promote a passive playstyle (or braindead as I like to call it). We ran arah p2 with little to no active mitigation, just by stacking up defensive stats and healing.
For the record, this path has some of the hardest hitting abilitites in the game. Alphards pulls will create bombs that hit you immediatly for extreme damage (25k+ on a zerker warrior 2,1k base armor).
The run was a joke. Ignoring 99% of all boss mechanics just by outtanking/healing them including Alphard bombs and Lupis rapidfires. No coordination required. No “outdps-ing” bosses. No skill required. Just rolling your face over the keyboard.

If that kind of gameplay is engaging you truly have braindamage.

Exactly.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dodging-in-dungeons/first#post3490289

Here is the video guys. Watch it in it’s entirety. If you can still ask for this kind of game play after that well. Just wow.

Sarahfull.4930:

You guys are right, Im a horrorable teacher. Im speading toxic ways to new-comers.

I know now:

• The only way to learn in guildwars PvE is zerkers ( all information learnt in other outfits should be thrown under a bus )
• The only way to become better in guildwars PvE is zerkers ( personal rules / goals dont matter unless your in zerker )

You are severely misinterpreting what is being said.

laharl.8435:

If the fix is so dramatic that skilled play is no longer rewarded, and the game turns into gimmicky puzzles and time gates etc., then gw2 will lose many players.

This is where the game is likely headed if we look at the latest dungeon additions. Be it gradual or one dramatic patch, it will be a real pity.

Are YAST threads the new TAFU?

Also pro tip 4 the OP: Make your own parties and specify what you want in the description.

Well I wouldn’t know because I’m not posting about such things

LittleLepton.8915:

Darn it swift! Not what I meant! Hahaha

I said what had to be said. >:(

Dont even get me started on guardian

Everytime I bring my double bow bear apothecary ranger to fotm 49 all I get is trash talked and then kicked. This has to stop.

Here is the solution to the zerker problem https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dodging-in-dungeons/first#post3488936

enables the use of Zerker gear which is regarded as a ‘problem’.

Please see below for how dungeons were intended to be played courtesy of [rT]who have finally seen the light.

That was beautiful Bright, brings a tear to me eye to remember the good old days T_T

Nosoyelarty.7268:

At least he likes TA aetherpath so he will probably enjoy the incoming Arah f/u.

Ah yes that reminds me, allow me to go over my patch notes. Oh, here we are.

EVEN MORE LEGIT PATCH NOTES

• Removed Giganticus Lupicus from all paths of Arah. It has come to our attention that this boss fight does not come close to anything we outlined in out initial design manifesto. Furthermore, those who solo’d this boss are to recieve punishment for ‘exploiting’ as per our agreement with the lfg white knight kickers who have far more knowledge than us on who and who does not exploit along with how it is done.

• This fight has now been replaced with an underwater combat area in which players will face off against an ancient underwater dredge car that spits out aetherblade mobs. Once these are all defeated the car will morph faster than a bad mesmer can moa form lupicus’s locusts. It’s final form will be that of a random Hotw end boss.

For the love of kitten! Hurry up and force me to play how you want them to!

fixed that for you.

That made no sense. Much like killing every mob in a dungeon.

yes, why even kill the bosses, just give us the reward for looking at them! At least ascended stuff, pls, because its so difficult to skip the trash to look at the boss!

To be honest, you are the perfect player for the reached bottom of mmo design.

Quick, grab the tinfoil hats, we’re going super irrational!

I shall see to it.

‘Today marks the release of the last bit of content I built for ArenaNet. I had always hoped my last hurrah would be an epic dungeon that would stand the test of time, and provide entertainment for players to the very end… but instead it’s an instance that will only persist for two weeks, and then go away.’

Trice.4598:

I think he meant that GW2 does not have Dungeons programmer/designer since Robert Hrouda left. The whole dungeon aspect of the game has been left to rot in the past months with no feedback from developers, only moderator visit the subforum to remove post asking for answer/suggestion/etc.

Oh… i didn’t know that. So… we have nobody for dungeons right now? That’s sad. It could explain why one of the end-game content is being lacking of love.
Thanks for the info, Trice.

And here’s where all our anger comes from ^.^

Makes no sense. I can understand it if someone leaves Anet, but a replacement should be put in his place the next day. Dungeons is in my opinnion one of the cores of PvE playerbase. Is there any new about new programmers for that?

Nope. There will be nothing. Welcome to the abyss.

Excellent work guys.

All that’s left are the hardcores, hoping we get thrown a scrap of content worth playing.

Just read the first part, def needs a tl/dr.

People arguing with each other about how is a worse human being.
People threatening to quit if Anet does/doesn’t make changes to berserker
People are throwing insults back and forth
People complaining about how GW2 should/shouldn’t be like GW1
People having no idea what the issue is.

All these things- will probably happen in this thread too.

For the love of kitten! Hurry up and force everyone to play how I want them to!

Interested.

:O Good stuff, I really want to replay the whole thingy. You know, a game that has the shadow of a decent story and missions.
Swifty?

I honestly think that it’s been so long that I would just be an awful awful player T_T

Can’t remember kitten on how to play.

So just because you guys um.. fully learnt the boss moves off-by-heart on your zerker gear that means your better than someone who learnt the moves on a different gear set.

Right..

Not going to lie, the fact that your attitude has shifted so significantly from your Teachers post to now is really disheartening.

As an IRL teacher, I know that good teachers understand that there will be people out there who know more than you do, and the best thing you can do, to teach well, is to accept that you won’t always be right. Learning more is always the way to be an effective teacher.

Very disappointed.

This post really upset me, and I had a hard time to adjust to this and understand it. I ask a friend about it and we think there is a misunderstanding of what I mean.

The thing I hate about “zerker” is people who say that they are a better player just cause they are wearing it

I’m not looking down on people who’re running “zerkers”, its just I do not believe either are superior and that you don’t need to have either equipped to learn the attack patterns of the dungeon bosses. I believe some people play better in whatever outfit they are in and of course people play differently, I just hope everyone can work with each other.

Sarah

People are not better because they run zerker. Do not misunderstand. However, wearing zerker requires a person to become a better player.

‘What are you? Some sort of zerker noob?’

bahahaha

I tried to go back but the lack of jump button I dunno… T_T

adding healing does not = skilled play
