Guild Wars 2

Well this dungeon was modified recently. Not a surprise their new patch made a mess about reward, we are the tester (victims) of every patch, be used

Let’s see. You’re asking a boss alerts, and maybe a red text “Dodge now” “Walk back” “Go near him”. Sure, why not. And an autopilot button too, why not?

Ye i remember it.
As i remember so many other promises, forgotten..

Again, even after 2 patches, i still have to report the malfunction of this skill.
Regen is not working properly. Now sometimes triggers, but no icon appear about regen, and duration. And noone in the party get any regeneration.

Still the final reward gives just crappy blues? Didn’t they promised exotic rewards and something worth to be completed? Wondering how many months more i have to wait, before complete this story mode with a proper reward.

This one?

Maybe it’s just inside a lion dye pack bough with gems. OR just a matter of time and you will find it. Or just removed, who knows.

Olle’s perfectly right. You don’t get “more” drops. You get “better” drops. Gold dye, gold weapons etc.

Because the eventual waypoint on path 1 would correspond to the wurm boss. People would just die and rez on that boss, brainless, instead of learn that exciting fight.

I guess it’s the exact reason because guesting system was meant to exists. So you can play with your USA friends (no wvw).

A simple solution, i proposed yet, and devs didn’t implement:
allow kick just of offline players, and players on afk status ( a simple 3-4 minutes timer, with an icon AFK, will allow the kick).
The group will remain as is. Not be able to kick anyone for any reason except the 2 mentioned.
One player is antisocial? Your fault you picked him, deal with him.
When dungeon is completed, remember to block him.

True, dps matters during this fight. Same time, player’s skill matters.
During a pug, is easy to spot if you’re going to waste 3-5 hours even from beginning:
if you’re pretty slow at beginning with adds, 2 or more keep die at first boss, then attempting lupicus the entire group except you is pwned on ph2, and repeating half is 1shotted when ph2 begins, feel free to leave. No miracles will happens, it’s a group of people without a proper mind to coordinate the sparks, and with a pathetic dps. This kind of players will whine with the Dwayna’s battle, leaving with “amen it’s bugged”.
So, if you detect a noob group. leave them, or offer them to reset and do a path3 noob run, when you realize they are just players who deserve to whine on the noobish HotW doing just path 1 .
This is the best they can do

Every content not zergable like wvw or DE , is “impossible” , " doable just with x and y" and all the rest of useless whine you read on this forum. Be used, L2P is a myth, noone listen even when you explain them what to do.

I guess for luck he meant “if nothing goes wrong, sparks behave, no extra delay”

Tungsten Monarch.6058:

I don’t believe for an instant, these dungeons are tested by “regular” casual players. I’m sure the testers they have are top notch, but, the vast majority of the player base are not top notch.

This means the testers were unqualified to test these dungeons. You don’t test something from experts, you test something for the average “Joe or Mary” to see a market response.

As it is, only a very few exceptional players in our 120 plus roster of players have the exceptional qualities to beat these death traps.

Guild wars dungeons were fun, and balanced. The ones here are cruel, evil, pointless, and un fun.

Disillude yourself. Noone test nothing, we players on live are the testers. When a patch appears barely stable, is throw out as official. If the patch will mess up groups no more able to join an istance together, or objects disappear from your inventory etc, well, amen, your fault you was online during the bugged patch days

The only real problem doing pug arah, is communication. 99% of the pugs i met, is just by people who don’t read 1 single line of my explanation of the battle.
If you’re lucky just 1 of your group is reading and applying the strategy, others are just a bunch of loser zergs picked from their wvw/DE farm throw in a serious place where wow, you have to dodge, and hell, you have to play smartly too. Gosh

Yep, it’s normal, you cannot speedrun.

When happens, just reset the fight, sometimes works.

Daily reset, resets your dungeon paths too.

Fast huh? Anet, fix this, please. Quickittenoo. Close this possibility to run at all, please, and forever.

Are you asking how to check if you did a path yet, or when it resets?

Ye happened to me too, wasted nearly 4 hours on arah, 2 left on dwayna thinking was bugged, i went out to find subtitutes, me and the 2 new players wasn’t unable to rejoin the party. But same time, i turned to be the leader (one of the two leavers was the leader). What a mess..

Zergs usually play like mindless children. They don’t listen nothing, don’t rev, don’t understand even the most basic principle of teamwork, you can explain the strategy 30 times, hopeless. That’s why it’s suggested to collect good players on your contact list.

I guess one of the player of your team, urtv.8791 , maybe dodging, moved out of her area a bit. All the team must stay on her area on the side of the exit , where the path continue. Moving around ye, still on door side. You die a bit obiouvsly , others must rev fast, and it’s easily done. Just spread around her forming a semi circle.

Like if Coe was shorter rofl.. 1 hour is the minimum expected time , every path of every dungeon is expected to be around an hour or more.

Uhm? Which path?

I do it daily. Feel free to whisp me
I’m working on pants with pugs.

Well i found a way to complete this path, waiting Anet fix about crashes.
You just have to fight the boss on her area.
All grouped, dodging and rev others. Just don’t move out of the area, no fear, and she will die.
Funnily you will see a flying reward chest too when finish, but you will be able to do all paths and get your 180 tokens, at least

Enjoy.

Just a matter of organization, no pets, be fast, some patience

Don’t care of people posting their funny L2P. Who post in pug threads about it, is just people who must knee and thanks their god to be enough lucky to have found a guild dedicated to arah, organizing runs appropriately knowing the content too. Alone, those guys, are just funny losers.
Block leavers, and start to make a list of the best players you met on pugs, calling them for future runs. Repay, days later.

Agree 100% about the leader resetting the dungeon, but i’ll tell you something strange.. Yesterday i was on arah, at half 1 without a reason left the group, one more went afk then offline. The guy who left, was one of the idiot you described, but attempting to destroy the entire run (he was the leader). Guess what, we wasn’t kicked. Sadly we didn’t found a replace,so 3rd left. Still we was inside the dungeon. I left, the 5th got kicked. Without a reason i became the group leader, the one who leaving reset the dungeon.
This system is not meant to be like this, it’s just bad programming, trash who must be fixed.

DE front of the gate was progressing maybe?
Did you wait a DE reset of it, fighting to win back the entrance?

Agree 100% to the OP. I’m getting quite bored to play dungeons.
He’s perfectly right, most pugs are just skipping. What’s fun, is how idiot they are to not understand a fight long 2 minutes will worth less stress running back if death (TA opening is a perfect example).
I waste way more money to repair my exotic armor dealing with billion adds skipped who requires me to run, and alone sometimes is not so easy and you’re dead. And dead, and dead. Until finally you’re lucky and your speedboost gave you the good sprint to arrive to the mass of idiot runners.
I was on a TA pug today with a group, not just they made me waste a lot of money to repair, they even chose immediately path 1 (the noob path) as much was clear from invite was a forward up group. Most play on zombie mode, or idiots, i don’t know.
I just left them.
Seriously anet, put an end on this. Triple adds, put walls, whenever.

Shiri.6728:

I think you may have gotten confused and posted in the wrong topic. That or you’re misunderstanding the fight.

Absolutely not. I know perfectly this fight, and with proper damage, it’s done in a few minutes. Last time i tried was around 3 minutes, maybe was 5.
And no, it’s not bugged at all this fight, as much i remember. (At least i don’t remember any bug). Curious the text didn’t appear. That’s a bug. Not the fight.
Never tried pulling her out leaving 2 guys to do the cave, i’ll test

The game is still young, not so many are used to food. But ye, the food mentioned by Zenyatoo is a perfect example of good food who gives a big boost, on time and performance.

Just block them, you will not meet trash anymore

Well ye, you should have saw a text inviting you to continue.
Arah is definitively a matter of coordination and team work.
On giganticus, on bosses. Your post is about a pug or guildrun?
Because if was a pug i’m not surprised, most pug have player who don’t listen.
And don’t want to play different from the usual pve against a moa.
You can keep explain billlion times, hopeless.
This fight is done after nearly 3 minutes, go figure, when people do his work with sparks, even remaining inside the cave, no need to do long pulls.

I guess the rage doesn’t grow until the damage is not high enough.
Seriously guys, it’s pathetic. It’s from last patch we ask devs to fix the group mess, even now with new patch and minifix, it’s messed up.
I completely wasted my health on arah, more than 3 hours, arah path 4.
I explained to the group to read my explanation how to deal with dwayna.
Even showing them it was working, following my explanation, 2 of the group just left thinking (like the most of you reading my post) that boss is bugged.
So, i just went outside, attempting to find 2 more to finish the dungeon.
Guess what happened? Logging out and relogging, i was outside and on a total different istance, no more able to join MY PARTY. I found 2 more guys, we went inside, we was on a total new istance.
It’s pathetic.
Relog, leave and rejoin, map, useless. We had to forget our waste of time, who didn’t worth a kitten and 0 tokens obiouvsly not killing last boss.
This means play with the spectre of lose electricity or the connection, and be ready to waste even 4 hours for nothing, no more able to join YOUR PARTY.
Didn’t devs promised us they was going to fix this idiot bug on monday patch?
Thanks for make me waste my time, Anet.

Suggest your friend to stay far from TA until resetted. Seems i was right, who kept insisting to play dungeons with bugged DR, and received less token than expected, kept his lowered reward. I tried to warn you all to quit playing dungeons until fixed, now deal with it

No need to change mechanics, number of attack, bombs etc.
A funny future legendary mode could be just the same exact dungeon, with every single creature 4-9 level more higher. Try to deal with it

I hope that “you” is not meant directly to me rofl

I see, you want a surplus completing all paths. Like if 180 tokens per day wasn’t enough, compared to the old system with tokens per chest. Do you know at least how many tokens you was going to get completing a path, prepatch (not a speedclear path)?

Incentive, oh please.

This game is based on community, play together, play with real people, enjoying the content. Are you bored to play with others and find people, and you want to solofarm all? Uninstall this game, go back to your GW1 with heroes clearing FoW.

We don’t have idiot henchmen/heroes, and god bless us from this kind of trash content killing the spirit to play with others on gw2 too.

Sleep 2 hours after lunch, helps.

Still unclear, it shouldn’t

I wonder if sometimes people , while posting, read himself.
You’re whining why people is punished. Still you suggest a more strict system where people get 60 tokens after 1 path and 60 just when all other paths are completed and blocked for 24 hours, or the funniest part

Also why are you forcing me to run dungeons I don’t want to run even though I don’t want armor or weapons from that dungeon?

when you have time, later, explain me this part about be forced to do a dungeon when you don’t want nothing from that dungeon lol

I guess your whine is get your daily tokens uberfast speedclearing and logoff and go to sleep, so you can be cool like us wasting an entire day without speedclear, huh?

Well, fell free to forget it

Next time, don’t play after dinner. You can’t? Don’t do this path.

Jakar.3685:

For me everything is working correct again and I am really happy about that, because now I actually feel rewarded when doing a dungeon.

But just out of curiousity. Is there any chance we re getting back the tokens that we missed out on during the last week?

And for Zytherion: 20 is the amount you get if you already ran the path once that day so it would make sence you somehow did it after the reset the day before.

You will not get the tokens you missed out on.

Dungeons reset at 5pm pacific time daily.

So you run CoF path 2 at 10pm you will get 60 tokens. After this it doesn’t matter what dungeon or path you run you wall not get more than 20 tokens from CoF path 2 until after 5pm the following day

And this assumption has a proof, or it’s your personal opinion? Because i highly doubt the DR reset triggers on server reset.

I have to report this bug again, new patch didn’t fix.
This skill still don’t work. Heal myself, don’t regen me nor anyone inside the well, nor the power bonus given by traits using wells.
Please fix, it’s a real handicap.

This is your opinion, Wahaha, getting armor+weapon after 10 days.
It’s still not clear if the reset timer trigger every server reset, every 24 hours, randomly, triggered doing a certain sequence like CoE all paths then arah all path THEN just when you complete all arah paths, CoE is resetted giving you 60 tokens again per path.
Now people is happy, we are getting 60 tokens for the first attempt per path.
Still, looking the Hrouda post on this page, seems devs are again playing the game of who find the exploit getting 60 tokens per run not triggering the DR.
Do you remember his post here?

Correct. People can speculate about the timing involved and how it works – we will not be divulging this information since it opens the system up to people finding ways around it. While we are confident in the system, we are doubly confident that people are amazing at finding holes in systems and breaking them.

I would like to remember to devs CoE story central poi (the one available killing the last boss) still doesn’t trigger, remains undiscovered

What the minipatch we got few minutes ago was for?

Ye, working as expected.

Timing is just to discourage speedruns, lowering the reward. Play normal, do all path and you’ll get your 180 per day.
