Guild Wars 2

Doesn’t matter the timing. The timing just make things worst, Takato.

If just it was so easy to farm tokens… Forget it. It’s:
Character A Runs Path 1 of Dungeon X = 60 Tokens
Character A Runs Path 2 of Dungeon X = 60 Tokens
Character B Runs Path 1 of Dungeon X = 30 Tokens
Character C Runs Path 1 of Dungeon X = 15 Tokens
Character C Runs Path 1 of Dungeon X = 8 Tokens
Character C Runs Path 1 of Dungeon X = 2 Tokens

It was active from when DR exists, just because bugged you didn’t notice.
Yes, DR is accountwide. Or you was truly thinking to be smart and switch your chars and get an armor in a couple days?

Roflmao. It should be account wide so 60 30 15 8 2 0 , bugged again?

Yep, so you cannot farm an armor in a day switching chars.
Curious, 60 then 30? no more 60 then 45?

Nono i was asking about the rewards, if people is getting 60 tokens etc

So, grouping and reward is working or not?

Apologizes, Macey, i’m not able to find it, it’s on dev tracker if you have time. It talks about not be technically able to restore or remove something on a player’s bag.
Awren quoted it, read this page.

So reset radius is the game mechanic you learn speedrunning a dungeon huh? Lol.

Amen, Belcross, and i like your idea too

Buff Jesus.4263:

i actually got a rare once during TA exp

was a lvl56 rifle while im lvl80

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

1 What exactly do you learn about game mechanics running between mobs, one day explain me lol

2 No problem. Anet will force us

dodging and how to avoid damage and deal with movement impairing conditions?

was real hard to answer that…………..

Running between 30 mobs 1shotted when caught doesn’t exactly teach me so much

They.9516:

1. Give it a try with friends or your guild, finding shortcuts on dungeons is a rewarding experience, you learn more about game mechanics and that knowledge can and probably will carry over into other gaming formats.

2. If it really bothers you and you just don’t enjoy it try to find a guild or group to do them the gritty way. If you make a thread here on the forums you’ll get dozens of people who would like to do a nice balanced clear.

1 What exactly do you learn about game mechanics running between mobs, one day explain me lol

2 No problem. Anet will force us

It’s like red and black. Some guys put money on red, and wow, it’s red, and you put money on black thinking it was going to change lol.
Accordingly to the DR timer yes, you’re speedfarming, it’s 30 minutes minimum.

On GW1 we had 90% of the playerbase using 55monks farming uw and fow, billion ectos, and gold weapons. Did anet banned his entire playerbase? nope.

If you look around you how many flaming armors are walking, you will realize half or more of your server should be a desert.
One thing is the karma weapon exploit where a strict number of guys thinking to be smart abused of it, something else is a dungeon armor gained with some speedfarm.
After all, their feedback helped to make us enjoy, today, a fixed game.

Oh. Well devs promised us a patch about AI, and some graphical fixes, to discourage anomalies. Try again later.
If you don’t want to take any risk, in general, join a guild who farm the dungeon you like, and play with them, with strict rules about “no exploit here”.

p.s. enjoy finding one

Check your drivers, and if you’re experiencing an anomaly about your GPU.

Darque Intent.1674:

AusterlitZ.7941:

wait till the patch…

I will. I thought I would give them some more feed back and ask if it was personal…

Nothing personal, was random.

Actually they did, remembering us they are not able to access account’s bags changing anything externally. Logs? lol.
And they warned us to just wait a fix instead of waste time. Now you would have your gear completed yet from hours, maybe.

Wait a few hours more. 6:24 am server time, give time, they are waking up

Well the skills you mention are available for a tactical purpose during a hard fight, not run 3/4 of a dungeon.Do i need to explain why there is invisibility, or speedboost skills, seriously?
Nice for you having fun running all the dungeon. This is not play a game against enemies, it’s cheating their AI. 3 more mobs along the way, or a bit better positioning with AI ready to pwn you if you try to run past them, and you can forget your funny run. This is exatly what devs are planning

Over all, the dungeon timer will help a bit, just to be sure you’re not trying to skip the entire dungeon except bosses, because “you love the thrill of run”.

I guess on future patches we will have a better timer per dungeon, so (example) a dungeon path completed from hardcore players (playing regurarly, no skip) in 2 hours, will have 2 hours as a minimum. No skip.
After all, as you see, some players keep posting timings. Devs are not ignoring those posts

This game is not meant to be completed, nor giving special rewards like dungeon armor/weapons for free because you don’t have time

Next hours, ye.

Forget a refund.

What you should pray , is something else:
if your token counter is resetted, next hours, when patch goes live.
Because well, if you kept attempting to play dungeons during the bugged DR, and last run was 8 tokens ( as much you deserved 60), feel free to expect 2 tokens (the next tier after 8 tokens , over-running a dungeon), on your first run post-patch.
I guess this will be the kind of report i will read next hours.. or not..
Don’t forget what devs said: the system will take into accounts your past runs pre-patch (was said when the bugged DR was live) and the dungeon counter is kept.

Ah well. Depends. If people is so idiot to prefer to watch a final boss for 20 minutes, moving a bit the character to not go afk logging off, up to them. Idiocity doesn’t have a limit

People is just waiting the patch, DR system is bugged
Try again tomorrow

Awren.4967:

I have done Ta about 5,6 times since the patch, max I got was 30, then it went to 15 and one run I even got 1!
I have never done speed runs, never exploited anything in any game I have every played. Heck I am always very careful not to do things that are even a bit suspicious to me. And missed on more then 200 tokens. I wasnt able to log in to forums until today. I tried to contact your support and answers I got are unbelievable, from quoting patch few times to the point where a guy answered me talking about how to get HOM rewards(!?). The only answer I got that was somewhat useful to me was that ANET Is not able to restore any of the missing tokens. So dont hope for that.
Honestly if you want people to go on with playing this game get better support, hire more people, do whatever you need to do, but it has to be better. For me support is half of the game and yours is nonexistent at this point.

That’s a bot autoanswering randomly based on some key words lol.
And ye, forget any form of refund

Forget a refund. It’s your fault if you kept playing a bugged reward system, when a dev invited the community to just stop and wait a fix.

Nice guide, congrats.

Ye, skipping adds, expecially on path 3, makes thing faster. But we are talking about a pug (at least i guess, from OP)

What you saw is just a speedrun. The purpose is to be as fast as possible, every minute makes the difference, at the end of the day, if you’re planning 30+runs.
This kind of idiocity will end next hours when finally DR will be patched.
It should work with a timer, so completing a dungeon too much fast will reward less tokens than 60 as expected.
So, finally, you will kill all adds, not running half dungeon anymore, no more reasons to do it.

Rofl, after days we was bombarding this forum warning everyone to stop to play dungeons, still now we are so near to the patch we read complains? Lol
And no, no refunds.

I do it daily. Necro too, MM.
People ignore it not grouping so much for 2 reasons: it’s hard, it’s long.
Add the DR bugged, and the mass leaving we had those days.
Maybe next hours something will change a bit. But don’t expect a large mass of pugs.

Munchkin.4137:

@Lucas. WvW is definitely zergy at times, but there are plenty of small-scale battles as well, in my experience. I think gear with Power, Vit, and Toughness would cover both scenarios very well, as is evident with the gear you can actually purchase in WvW. I also look forward to monday’s changes, but would much rather run with guildies as I believe my wallet will suffer much less. Oh and I am a healer, if I want to spec to be one. I can be a damage dealer if I want to spec to be that, or even a tank (lol). However, I can’t be all three at the same time.

WvW is JUST a zergfest. No build or armor matters, neither for 1 minute.
Trust me. Try if you think i’m lying. Put your traits to 0, put a white armor and white weapons, and test. You will see, nothing changed lol.

Agree, obiouvsly a guild should be better organized and with better performance of a pug. But if you didn’t find 4 guilds (the max you can join) to farm a dungeon until you get what you want, go pug.

And yes, you can balance yourself to cover all roles, obiouvsly focusing on a healer spec, if you’re so fond. But be uberhealer and crappy as dps/tank, considering how hard and dynamic dungeons are, you will discover yourself pretty useless soon.
Try to study a bit more some builds

A: WvW is just zerg, your armor stats doesn’t matter. You can even play with white merch armor and weapons with a lv1 (boosted to 80) char with 0 traits, still you’re alive playing as an exotic guy. Just stay back, dodge, do your ele job, run back if losing. Seriously, rofl.

B: Join a pug, amen to what the guild want to do. You need a guild with 60+ players online if you want huge variety and guild runs constantly. Maybe.
With monday fix, you should find loads of pugs, finally. As much there was a mass leaving..

C: Stop to think you’re a healer. You aren’t. Until you’re not planning to be dynamic with all roles, tank healer dps, you will be an useless bag on every group.

Boring..

The central poi, completing story mode, near the chest, is not triggering. Is it bugged or what?

Ender.3508:

“random group of 5 dps”

There’s your problem. It’s your whole mentality.

Doing away with the trinity does NOT mean there are no more roles, it means that roles change as the situation changes. Your role is dynamic and can change in an instant. If you are spec’d for nothing but dps, you are the groups weak link.

Just to add, he still talk about tank and healer and roles. LOL.

OP, stay far from dungeons, do yourself a favor, dungeons are not made for zergs and trinity mentality

I find more ridiculous the “Duneons” and your whine instead of wait a few hours for the monday patch

Devs are aware of this bug, should be fixed tomorrow.

Uhm, try again. Uber low chance, but happens.

Until he loves challenges , why not

I hope you realized when you put a rank about paths adn rewards, you will split a pug between who is on rank 1 and who is on rank 4 (example of a dungeon with 4 paths) sometimes even reducing the actual lack of players playing a particular dungeon?
Paths exists as a variation to the boring same content.
Just to add, this would create elitism of “rank 4 guys” and “rank 1 noobs”.

Be ready to a long trip. Don’t go if near lunch/dinner.
If you’re in a pug, pray. If you see party members of the same guild, leave the group immediately, they are gonna scam you kicking you before the last boss.
Use ventrilo/teamspeak if possible (helps a bit)
Wait tomorrow, you could end up quite disappointed receiving 8 tokens or less (even 0), rewards are bugged. And no, you don’t need story mode completed until your leader entering is on exp mode.

Very
Tomorrow should work properly

You played too much Torchlight, didn’t you?

It’s not an “exploit”. Just bad AI players abuse, can be easily fixed.

If you feel yourself uncomfortable helping an exploit, just sit, let them do it.
Regardless of the ban thingy.
And report the exploit with details of the execution. Sooner or later, their fun will finish and exploit removed

A dev posted it as a possible update of the current 30 minutes one.
Considering it’s broken, noone noticed even the 30 minutes limit

Maybe one of them was adding him as friend or whispering, bad click, someone else immediately clicked, happens.
If you think it’s a bug, report it under the bug section.

Yes, it’s global (not meant to take into account days of distance)

Pokerjoker.7246:

Do you know how annoying it is to do a dunguen 4 players, when the last player havent done anything for the group? and cant even do noob test runs (Example for noob test run – Runing past the bees with nectar and avoid the water pools in TA expo mode Path 2)

Ofc you kick him. hes not doing anything for the group.

You’re noone to decide if a player worth to stay in your group. If he’s not aware of how to deal with some part of a dungeon, explain. And explain. And explain.

SiNoS.2147:

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

Yes, i suggested a group kick days ago when attempting to abuse of it. Wondering if it will be implemented (obiouvsly in a coherent way)

Well it is currently group kick but only takes i think 3/5 to pass the kick. Now i will admit i have kicked others before when reforming the group but i always explain after there gone or if someone asks me while the kick option is up as to why i started the kick.

Just 2 players are needed to kick someone.
