Guild Wars 2

Currently I see more and more people selling endboss slots for the harder dungeon pathes avaible.
Example, yesterdays I saw someone selling 4x Arah path 4 endboss slots for 15g each. This needs to be changed, people should get no tokens and no advancing to their dungeon master title if they join at the end of a dungeon.

Yes, this is very annoying. Every once in a while I die close to the end of a boss and get nothing because I died. Pretty annoying if its a boss which drops 10 or 15s silver + bag of wondrous goods.

Skipping needs to be fixed.

Yes, the game is too easy. Dungeons too easy. High lvl meta events easy (e.g. Jormags Claw). Its hard to find anything challanging in this game unless you do fractals lvl 30+ with only green gear or less gear and no agony res.

Why would you skip in HotW? Good loot from trash mobs.

Probably bugged like so many other events

I think drops of krait fractal have been nerfed too
my group found a total of 3 t5 scales and 0 t6 scales, difficulty 26

usually I find 5-10+ t5 scales alone and this time just 3 for whole grouop

I already have an alt, a level 80 thief.

Most of the best gear in this game can’t even be bought with gold. You can’t buy dungeon gear. I’m working on Arah gear for my thief. I could buy zerkers crafted gear, but it’s ugly. I farmed the weapons in dungeons because they look better than most other weapons (barring legendaries)

So all I’ve needed to buy for my thief is accessories. Ascended back farmed through fractals, 2 ascended rings from level 10+ daily in fractals. I spent about 8 gold on the amulet, earrings, and another 3 gold on trait books.

I’ve got 50 gold in the bank and doubt I’ll have a use for it anytime soon, and it just keeps growing.

50g? I would find ways to spend thousands of gold in seconds easily :P

It fixed gw2.exe. It went from 40mb to 21mb.

Highvoltage.7946:

then find a group that wants that dont ask a group that wants to skip not to. just leave!

Leaving is a waste of time.

In the end they earned nothing because the rest of the dungeon takes 40% longer with 1-2 people dead and doing nothing.

Take a look at what I wrote here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Twilight-Arbor-only-45-Tokens-at-the-end/first
We did five dungeons too fast, TOO FAST. We skipped every group and event possible. Also of course full berserk equip on all five people and none of us died while skipping ( mostly because we know how to dodge ). Now show me how you do that if you kill every mob and do every event you see in a dungeon.

THats good, DR should be stricter so skipping gets punished.

trading post is world wide

I think the chance to get a free black lion kit is too low. I got over 1100h played and only found 1 kit so far, probably over 500h played ago.

Report him for staff impersonisation.

I didnt notice any fractal breaking bugs yet, even on 30.

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

People should be glad we can skip the trash mobs, or a lot of players would simply skip the entire dungeon experience. About the only time I ever go is when guildies need one more to fill the party, otherwise I can’t be bothered with them.

The dungeons take too long, they’re too hard, the drops are pathetic and bosses with one shot party wipe skills are a good sign of poor dungeon design. I take great delight in waving at Kholer every time I go right past him.

you are funny, I find most dungeons mind-numbing easy, even with pugs. And you can make a good income from dungeons, too if you dont die all the time. You are a typical case of learn to play.

For the people who skip it boils down to 1 thing.

Note: 99% of people complaining on forums are people whining about why people skip trash, and not the other way around where people who do fast speed runs complain about trash killers. Want to know why? People who do things successfully, quickly, efficiently have nothing to complain about.

No the people who think skipping is an issue just want to enjoy the game, they dont want to take the easy way and just skip stuff. But it just seems like stated before people just want instant rewards.
Some of the people are not gold farmers that just want to do everything quickly. But alas it seems that people will always take the easy way out.
If Anet would have suggested a “skip button” to dungeon most would welcome it with open arms.

you may call skipping successfull or efficient, you can say whatever you want you may say that I complain and whine. But in the end it is the skippers who are just lazy and filled with greed who will take the easy way out on every possible opportunity. And sadly this will not change, these days people only want instant results. And they forgot about the road that leads to those rewards.

Lastly I just want to say fine skip all you want, but I will not. And I hope that those who want to enjoy this game to its full content will refuse to skip as well.

+1
I started to add everyone to my blocklist who insist on skipping stuff.

Jan/Feb most likely,

http://gamingbolt.com/guild-wars-2-interview-we-talk-to-areanet-about-how-the-mmorpg-has-been-doing-post-launch

long wall of text, can you quote something?

Saturn L O L.1406:

@Dreamslayer no, they arent, anymore, few weeks ago ~~ 45s ea until I made my forum post on how to forge them

Whats the chance to get one from combining 4 pebbles? I used up all my stocks i accumulated in about 1100h playtime (never used or sold any pebbles) and got exactly zero

Sounds good if you are playing on european servers. I have spent 7 hours on an Arah path before.

200 runs wont even be enough, I did a couple of full runs of CoE, and if my rate of lodestones and cores continue I will need a total of 900-1000 runs for my 100 lodestones

Someone deleted the OP from anet, no idea why.

Its not the rarest by far. I got it and I know and saw plenty of that quaggan so far.

26+ drops infused rings only, 24 is last lvl with non infused drop

If just one person in the group wants to kill something you do it. Theres no reason to have something like democrazy in groups.

Never had this happening even with gw2lfg.com groups. Noone even kicks me for playing fractals 30+ with no agony resist.

Stefan.9652:

OP are you seriously asking for a $5 refund? Come on, no one made you confirm your payment, get over it, geez la weez.

I dont want money refunded, I want gems refunded so I can use them for something else.

Chuck.8196:

Lol what? If you don’t like the price of them then go farm them instead of playing with the give me give me give me mentality. This is completely pointless and stupid to complain about the cost of a RARE MATERIAL. You don’t have to buy EVERYTHING you need. Go FARM! They drop plenty.

Dont make me laugh, I got 1100h+ time played, did over 300 fractals, plenty of CoE runs, but only 2 charged lodestones and less than 20 cores.

the hammer is very expensive, too. 150 molten lodestones, 250 silver dublons.

Malediktus.9250:

How is killing stuff which drops t5 and t6 mats (and greens, yellows and very rarely exotics) not viable? Only people who play the TP can claim that.

Any time spent killing trash mobs for t5/6 mats in a dungeon could be spent killing mobs in cursed shore, except in cursed shore you would get 5x as many drops.

Really? I tried cursed shores a few times and thought drops were horrible there.

So two shotting toys isnt useful? If noone shoots at the toys they have more chances to destroy the defenses.

Of course they are gone if you do.

I am not doing CoF frequently, but the problem exists in dungeons where they drop, too. Especially in fractals skipping is going to the extreme.

haviz.1340:

Trash mobs don’t have too much hp, stop making parties with “tanky dps” and they go down very quickly.

That’s just not true. I speed run AC and CoF a lot with a group of 3 glasscannon thieves (pure DPS. C&D for 5k, backstab for 8k.) and either 2 warriors or 1 warrior/1 guardian and we still find that a lot of trash mobs are better skipped because they’re HP sponges.

Really? Trash dies very fast. If they would die even faster they might as well be renamed to rabbits.

Wolfey.3407:

you need:
Snow Man
Festive Golem
Infintarium or w.e the heck its called (floating golem)
I did some research on this on the first day and your best 100% chance with out any hiccups and errors is to do:

One of each + 50 stuffings

If you combine 4 random or 4 same you get a random mini: Example
Snowman + snowman + snowman + snowman = polar bear or imp or another random

Snowman +golem + snowman + infintarium = random mini

Source:
I have all special minis

wrong, you can use 3x the same mini.
I used 3x Infinirarium mini, because I got 5 or so of them out of 80 boxes (got my festive golem mini on 80th box)

Dungeons are very profitable, especially if you kill everything. All the small little drops add up.

Groovy.6749:

It was a gesture of good will by ANet to all of its players, but I wouldn’t expect anything being to compensate players individually.

Alternatively, ANet could always take your cogs away.

wouldnt make a difference to me, I have no use for the cogs

Please do something about skipping in dungeons and fractals. More and more people trying to skip everything. Even if I kindly ask to not skip good loot mobs people do it anyway. If I engage combat with the group they just run past me leaving me for dieing. In the end they earned nothing because the rest of the dungeon takes 40% longer with 1-2 people dead and doing nothing.

I bought 80 boxes for my minis, no thanks to adding this at this point.

I am playing Guardian. I become pretty good with dodging agony attack, with the exception of jade maw which of course kills me every time.
I also see no reason to show people my AR as long as people arent forced to show me their magic find value.

Such as? Dont tell me playing the trading post.

When I pass a mob which can drop stuff I need, I might as well kill it.

I hate when people want to skip, why skip mobs which can drop t6 mats I need for my legendary?

I dont see the issue. I am currently at fractals 33 with 0% AR and planning to continue without AR

wouldnt we notice performance drops then?

Again, I dont mind spending money, I probably spend over 100€ this month on the gem shop (without converting any gems to gold), but I do mind feeling cheated.

Its disgusting people feel its your fault if you count on the word of an anet employe and end up wasting 350 gems (4,38€ value)

It sounds pretty annoying and bells dont fit to the song.

That doesnt change the fact I wasted 350 gems and I want those back.

Wrinn.1802:

Your problem if you bought them, not mine or anyone else. Deal with it.

My problem was I trusted the posting of the Anet employe we could only get 2 out of 5 for free.
