There was a reply from a dev stating they ARE working on one and it will be in game ASAP.

Note that the title on that thread said “Group Finder”, which is a much more broader term than “Dungeon Finder”. Group Finder could encompass a wider set of options to develop groups for content outside of dungeons as well, such as for “Group Events” which involve a large group of people to take on Champion and Legendary ranked monsters in the open world.

However, if Robert really intended Group Finder and Dungeon Finder to be synonymous with each other, then I suppose it’s a step forward towards “getting with the times.”

It was in the dungeon sub forum, so I believe it was aimed at dungeon groups. Look a little bit more

To skinnyB: Look above at my post, we did it, but it required an additional spark run SUPER fast before she could heal too much. 4 warriors, 2 of them in blue gear, 3 of them GS, I was axe/mace, and a guardian to run the bottom three sparks and spam tears on us.

Still, I can’t see any way to improve this fight without nerfing it, and nerfing it is not good, there must be something challenging in this game PVE-wise.

This. My friends and I were discussing how they could make this encounter possible using a variety of professions, while keeping it challenging. And frankly, we could not come up with anything…

I completed this two nights ago with my girlfriend and we finally achieved our Dungeon Master title.

The group was composed of 4 first timers, one of them had never been in Arah. 3 warriors, 2 guardians. I was in half knights/half beserkers gear, my girlfriend was in ALL blues, being a fresh lvl 80 (she played her Ele until Simin), and the third warrior was in all exotic knights pieces. My good guardian friend was beserker/soldier/knight, and my other guardian friend was full soldiers.

It took us a good hour and a half getting to Simin. When we got to her, we listened to one of our guardian friends who had ran it before, and tried his strategy. No “designated” tear thrower. We consistently brought her down to around 5% the first 5 attempts (using 4 and 1 method) and just could not bring her down. The guildie who had ran it before offered to leave, since he already had is title, so we accepted. We picked up a warrior from GW2LFG.com that had run it many times before. We tried a new strategy.

We had the guardian be the tear thrower and the bottom three spark runner. I took the top two. First, we stacked A LOT of tears on my friend. After that we did the 4 in 1 method. We got her down to 1% and I scream on vent to my friend GET THOSE kittenING SPARKS!!! We ran for our titles, and got the sparks, and kicked Simins kitten in. Took three hours in total, 4 first timers, 3 of them not even in full exotics, all three of those people NOT in full beserker non exotics.

It is possible folks, maybe not without super high dps people, but it is possible.

I would love to see more caves where it is pitch black, and that you need a torch to explore your way in and out That gives me the real feeling of exploring.

For the rest, the environments are amazing already, dunno what to add.

YES! Or somehow get a “spell” cast upon you so you can see, but still wield your weapons.

I like it. Very challenging fight.

And yes, I have wiped on it many times with PUGs, but I still enjoy it

Aren’t there turrets at frost you can take out? Or is that a different endboss?

Well couldn’t this argument of “They’ll never catch up” be made with qualifying points in sPVP too? Or am I just stupid and there is a way very good players can catch up?

I also loved the clock tower, took me a while to master it, very fun, very fast paced.

Also, I hope we’ll get to be our own characters :’(

No need to run with warriors/guardians at all. Sounds like you just had a bad group :/

Remember, story dungeons count for this also, so if running them is easier for you then i suggest you do that.

But if you have your heart set on explorable mode, run AC. It’s a pretty simple dungeon and their are usually good groups running it. GW2LFG.COM

Yessss! I love that this is possible. I had a half an hour long duel with another under level guardian, I was a lvl 32 asura, and he was a norn guardian, at least 30+ because he kept using his elite skills. Neither of us could take the other down, due to the guardians innate insane survivability and bad DPS at low levels.

Eventually I stepped away, bowed, and he did likewise. We then went our separate ways. Epic and priceless.

I wouldn’t mind structured duels making an appearance in GW2 though.

(I’m on Maguuma, i forgot what server the guardian was on, but the match was last week I believe.)

I second this greatly.

I like underground. I really like them all.

Well while a friend was doing maw on his 80 toon, some veteran mob dropped a precursor. So..yeah.

I like the green rays that Lupicus shoots, without those the fight would definitely not be as good. The random factor that OMG THEY’RE GONNA HIT ME, you dodge, or you don’t…it may hit you, it may not. That dodge you just used could’ve saved you from shadow walk or all the AOE…in all I love those little green bolts.

I agree with HOTW, with the exception of Ginva and the Wolf guy in P3.

Actually, I believe that the grawl, snowblind, uncatagorized, and ascalonion fractal may all be solo’d my a very skilled player.

Yeah, this happened to me in fractals last night.

This also occured in SE p1. First fight some due tried to exploit it and fell into the lava. Then the lava debuff would not go away lol.

Same with me and my girlfriend. 82/83

But…but he’s impossible and deserves a nerf says mostly all the forum people!

gratz. My server has been trying every time it has came up since the patch. Still working at it!

I like all of the update. Haven’t found one thing I dislike.

The fractals fix is nice, ran lvls 4-12 last night for the first time. And I love the dungeon fixes, no more hiding behind bugging out bosses or WP zerging.

Hello all! When GW2 launched, my friends and I created a guild named the Dragon Blood Cult. The Cult was originally created in 1979 as a Pen and Paper guild, and has lived on since through many games.

We are mainly PVE focused.

We run dungeons nightly, sometimes run some tourneys in sPVP, attend the Orr Temple Events, run fractals, and anything else guildies want to try out.

We welcome new players. We were all new once, and we’ve became very good players, Giganticus Lupicus is no longer something we fear doing – we look forward to it. Experienced players are very welcome too.

Players of all ages are welcome, just be sure to act mature and not assnine.

And also, we know each other. We’re not like those giant guilds where you know nobody except the leader…maybe.

Once again, we are located on Maguuma and our name is the Dragon Blood Cult. PM me here, or send a mail message to Levistis.8356. Have an awesome day!

I really like it also. It must be kinda difficult because two players died in my party while doing it somehow…and then complained for the duration how Anet sucks because they eliminated the ability to rez from a WP…

I was LOLING.

It will be gone.

Soon.

Great job with P2 magg event, much more exciting and fun. Especially when two people go down and complain the entire time about how they cannot rez from a waypoint. Priceless.

:D

Work together, communicate, it’s very suprising how well it works.

As title. If we wait until the update hits, will we get a laurel? Or is there no laurels awarded for todays daily?

The DEVS have said they will explain in much greater detail the changes to dungeons in tommorows release notes.

laharl.8435:

Wow, cool sets so far!

How do you get those wings Nihilus

Arah dungeon tokens, light armor shoulder piece.

Yeah, I hate this exploit, and REFUSE to do it. I’ve been in a couple groups where I am the only one meleeing.

If that’s the way people want to play(exploit), so be it, I won’t be doing it.

I don’t grind, I just play the game. Open world, dungeons, fractals, whatever. I’m around 60% there to get my legendary, I’m only on lvl 5 fractals…

Mind you I count 20% as the precursor, and I do not have it.

I play for fun, and I’m still having tons of it. Beginning to build up a guild for WVWVW/Dungeons and it’s going great.

I’d like to add maybe there could be something in options to turn cut scenes off? That would be nice.

Keeping the “talking” cut scenes are fine, but the cinematic ones IMO are terrible. All cinematic cut scenes should be like the colossus.

Alright, so here’s my first gripe about GW2. The cut scenes. Scenes like those from the Volcanic Fractal when the grawl shaman jumps into the lava, or any other cut scenes like those, seem terribly choppy and very un-enjoyable.

Now at the end of the cliff side fractal when your party finally frees the colossus and he breaks away from his bindings, turns around, and gives you a silent bow, then turns and walks away into the mists, that right there just seems so much more epic and immersive than any cut scene in the game. Good job to whoever made that ending, that moment of respect is awesome and something I still look forward to after every cliff side.

Make all cut scenes, or at least those in explorable/fractals like the colossus one. Leave the cut away scenes for story mode.

OH GOD can’t wait….this looks very interesting.

Go ArenaNet!

Mirta.5029:

okay, I have a question. They promised to release a PvP update before the fractals update, still at January. Are we actually going to see it?

No, they promised a PVP update in February, which is going to happen. WVWVW and sPVP, tPVP. No release date other than February yet.

Azjenco.9425:

DandySlayer.7019:

Your basically describing Straits of Devastation is what I’m getting here.

Alright, let me create a scenario…

This. This soooo much.

Nothing, as long as the gear you get from them can be acquired elsewhere. I would love them in fact

Why people? Why? It’s perfectly legitimate.

TheDaiBish.9735:

Considering GW1 and GW2 are two different game types, how would it be implemented? Mobs spawn constantly, events produce mobs ect.

He means a mode, like the way you select explorable or story when you enter a dungeon.

The WintersDay one did not work for me!!

Yes I would, instantly.

Exterminans.9723:

Anet is aware of the problem.

Anet is not going to do ANYTHING about that issue.

Anet is going to delete this topic because they don’t like it.

Anet wants you to buy gems and to forget about the existence of cheats.

Go to ArenaNet and solve this problem ASAP for them then.

Oh, you probably can’t can you? It’s obviously a complicated issue or they would’ve fixed it already.

Nice job dude, I’m totally meleeing the nightmare tree now!

Agreed – 400 hours and 3 LVL 80 characters!

Awesome game!

Rustypipes.6238:

The game is four months old.

Four.

LESS than four and people complain. It’s just amazing to me.

NICE! Congrats!

Peetee.9406:

I see no problem with Legendaries being sellable.

The person that put in the hard work is getting a reward whether it be in the form of a legendary or in the form of gold.

The person that is buying it had to buy gems to convert to gold which means they are supporting the game. Ultimately whether a person has a legendary or not does not affect my game play but people that do support the game do affect my game play because more money for them means they can hire more people which will get more content and features for me quicker.

Unless the person who is selling this got loads of gold via some exploit, same with the buyer.
I can imagine that there are individuals who played TP smart and amassed large amounts of gold but who in the right mind would spend 1-7k USD for some pixels that do not evengive an upperhand in PvP or PvE?

Because they like the look of it? Maybe they think it’s a challenge? I’m still going for one, I just don’t grind mindlessly. People say it’s needed, but it’s really not. Just play.

With enough sweaters you can buy the cool weapon skins!

It’s a lot of fun. Beaten it around 15 to 20 times in around an hour. They listened. They made it so you’re split at the beginning and meld together at the end which rocks, and there are A LOT less bugs.

I also enjoyed the clocktower immensely though…many people say they didn’t, but I LOVED IT.

I found this to be super fun. I’ve beaten it around 15 times and still going, love it.
