Meh. Companies need a product or service and money to exist. In this case they look at their chart and peg it to where they think they will make the most money without alienating the entire fanbase. The best I ever saw it was 1 gold to get sixty gems, now I see 1 gold for forty gems. Trend should continue with this business model.
I used to love that level because of the giant but with the bugs and the difficulty of the arm seals, I loathe it.
You and your friends love killing things that don’t give you any experience but some of my pugs want to skip things that can give experience and loot. I like experience and loot thats why I play, not to roll my eyes and waste my time on things that provide neither while respawning till the cows come home.
Also in the Dredge fractal why can’t I hit those things that look like three satellite dishes with my longbow. I am well within the distance yet it never lets me hit. The wall behind me on that corner clips into my field of view which I find disconcerting.
Where is my plus one. No one.
It was more amusingly rhetorical. Hence the lack of question marks. And I did not contradict myself. However you have not managed to say much except saying we are dummies and should die more often in a pug.

And how come I don’t get any plus one on my posts. But hey everybody else even if they don’t say anything gets it. Thats like doubly condescending.
Sticks is it not abundantly obvious. I mean there are five posts there. Between my first post in this thread and yours. Why are you being condescending.
Is it silly to say that I don’t want to play that way to please you. Is it silly to say that my mesmer can’t get back up with that build. Is it silly. Maybe I’ll do my Bane impression instead ‘does it make you feel in charge for me not having any spy kits like they used to work but at double their length’.
I strongly disagree with gimping the spy kits. Its a game its supposed to be fun. We are supposed to play how we want. I would have went the opposite way on the spy kits and made them last twice as long.
Yes I have done the dredge part with my ranger without the spy kit on levels less than 20. Solo play a pressure plate get downed still get back up without dying. But asking me to do that with my mesmer is frankly ridiculous unless you guys let me max out all my traits instead of 30-30-0-0-10.
If you want to do it without spykits then fine put it in your gwlfg and I am happy not to play with you. It is a game and a playstyle after all. The control platform with plates does not even have the depth for a dredge to burrow through the metal plate yet they magically appear in numbers. The ranger’s stance at the door you have to destroy with the dredge cannon is always diagonal no matter how I try to point him.
It is a game. Length of boss health bars, mobs health bars are too long in dungeons. An exercise in frustration yet I grind that 1 to 5. Some things should be easy, especially a game you play for fun. Like you guys who want it more difficult try playing without accessories or armor or maybe just white armor. Make that an achievement for the hardcore.
I pug and I pug hard. Often the simpler course of action is best and thats using the spy kits. Lots of people are complaining of the grind to get to 80 which is nothing compared to world completion. Now why shouldn’t I use ash legion and order of whispers spy kits to my hearts content and double their length, so I am not spamming them.
Oh I have played Skyrim they didn’t have any spy kits and I didn’t play it for more than a month. Take away variety, take away our option to have fun and play how we want to is what you guys did with the spy kit. It was another way to play, quite legitimate too.
I just dislike it when someone comes out and says, my way or the highway.
Yeah also provide customized pin and needle sets with the GW2 logo.
Not happy with that archdiviner level and the regenerating seals. Was buggy pre-patch and getting thrown in the cage, then shooting at him inside of it and then not being able to get out. Gates also would not open pre-patch.
Regenerating bosses when using the terrain to your advantage. Such as the Ascalon Captain who can cover a lot of ground, why can’t I use that pillar to block him. The three fractal segments take several hours to complete already having it take even more is not acceptable, not fun.
@x per fection
You can’t have precognition and some of us don’t google a dungeon before we go in. Or read up every piece about it. Mostly for our sanity.
I was so cheesed off the other day, but thats how it goes, every weakness can be turned into a strength. I don’t care about the gold or the loot if I am not enjoying the game.
I am playing with people of all ages and I have to be accommodating as its a game I’m playing after all. Yes people curse, do the wrong things, seem completely bonkers but I am also guilty of the aforsaid.
The best mild mannered solution is try to be courteous at all times, or leave. People only change if they are open to it. Hopefully I can just keep my cool and everything can be good.
Redo the event properly or it didn’t happen
Ok there was way too much lag for the big Lost Shores event today. And
to give us confidence for other big events give us a lag free way of
doing it. Like Halloween the events were recurring except for the Mad
Kings showboating at the beginning.
Just to avoid the headache of server loading issues space out the main
events and let them be recurring for a whole day at least so people
can login whenever with much less lag.
Sorry to complain this is a big and fun game for the most part.
@ Aleiro
First I never compared the game but to heap praise on it. My build is a tank. Dodge only works twice with x amount of time. Support with four other members going in, ordinary enemies should be dropping like flies. Survival means being at a competent enough level where my stats overwhelm their stats, retreat then rebuff. “Suck less” but ordinaries have the HP of Jupiter and the ATTACK of the Sun while I’m still stuck at Earth mass.
I respect what you guys said but I am not satisfied with your responses. There should be more easy difficulty options for all dungeons. I am not happy having my level 63 dual axe wielding ranger dying in one hit or even three. My weapons & armor are all rare so is my longbow. My area of effects spells include burning & poison. My elite skill is to rampage alongside my pet.
The level scaling really bites and is counter-intuitive to rpgs where you are supposed to be able to dominate lower level enemies. The whole point of grinding and seeing every nook in the world. Granted a veteran and a champion are allowed to be tougher. But ordinaries should not be bosses or mini-bosses.
Thats a very incoherent sado masochistic approach to accept this level of difficulty. Playing should be a reward not tedious, die and die again because an opponent is spamming some cheap move and built like a tank.
That honor should be reserved for the player only as this is a fictional, fantasy game to be enjoyed and played for fun.
Add easy, and super easy difficulty for all dungeons. And give an option to disable level scaling too. And get rid of the level cap if you want people to play longer.
I am whinging but I died six times before reaching the shooters and another three when half my party logged out because it was too ridiculous, too story breaking, to accept such a large number of deaths in such a short period. And when normal enemies take forever to whittle down thats the equivalent of chiseling a statue out of stone.
That was my first attempt at a “dungeon” in this game and it feels absolutely deflating.
Completely unbalanced if its not broken. My level 60 character dies in one hit. If the dungeons are supposed to be like this then why not make the rest of the game like this so I can respectfully stop playing because thats not fun.
I like the game and felt I got my moneys worth the first week. Seriously. I haven’t even played Skyrim as long or encountered more variety. But you are seriously attacking this goodwill that you created with a brilliant game, if there are such unbalanced dungeons in the game.
Make the dungeons fun too.
