I’m casual player (cause in no way im a hardcore o.o) and i don’t find dungeons as hard as people whine on forum about them.
As Anet said – it was never meant to be doable by everyone. It need some tactics, team composition and coordination… Don’t tell me that you expect a dungeon where you can simply go, kill everything brainlessly and complete it. That should not be this way, and this is really bad way.
Guild Wars 2 is not a brainlessly game like many other MMO’s out there and I’m pretty happy about this, because other games was only about : farm, farm, buy better gear, farm, farm, now you’re able to do this dungeon. In GW2 getting best possible gear is fairly easy and much much faster than in other games.. And even with this gear many people have problems with dungeons – it only proves that you need to think, have some skill, and don’t do it with completely random people. This game is about cooperation, party.. not playing solo.
You know, it’s not like jumping over the gate in bomb room gives you another tokens or makes that you don’t have to cover magg, it “only” gives you last chest x2. But yes, this is still a bug/exploit and i reported this to Anet at the patch day when i realised it’s doable on my 1st run that day.
And about Path 1 – i honestly don’t think that this is that hard like people say. I just did it yesterday with 2 guild mates and 2 random people, maybe we struggled a little at the final boss but now we know exactly what to do to complete it faster next time.
However i think that final boss need some fixes/changes… cause the best strategy i found so far is to completely ignore crystals so that 5 people can dps Boss + you need someone with poison and would be good that if you would have guardian that will give stability to all party members.
Did magg room already 3 times after Patch, including 1 today. Usually do it at the 1st attempt, sometimes 2nd.
With people we manage to clear from 1 up to 3 waves.. then just start running around cause we can’t kill mobs fast enough. But still manage to survive long enough with max 2 deaths per character.
And about fire imps… never had problem with them focusing Magg.
Exactly Lorana, that’s what i tried to say in my 1st post :P
We tried like 3 times. 2 times with 1-2 guys focusing on crystals, 3 tried to dps him and we were using poison… both times were a failure.
We managed to kill him at the 3rd try when all of us focused boss completely ignoring crystals. We kept all more important skills to the moment boss had like 30% hp (cause after his hp dropped to like 70% he stops healing, and starts healing again at 25-30%hp mark)… Mesmer was using time warp, i had put my War Banner, and guardian was giving us stability + necro and ranger were poisoning him. It still took some time but we finally managed to kill him this way… Screenshot shows moment just after killing last boss.
With this effigy i had always problem when his hp got to 30% – then he starts heal even more than at the beginning. Part 30% → 0 took us more then 100% → 30%
This boss at the end is just insane but not impossible.
The stupid part is, that it goes easier if 5 people just dps him and 1-2 use poison, everyone ignore crystals. Stability is also important for everyone, so good to have guardian in party.
I think being able to retain guild influence would eliminate the #1 problem most people have with moving.
This 1. If guild would not lose all their upgrades and influences after transfering im pretty sure that transfers from high populated server to those with low/medium population would happen more often.
Ill post screens in a couple of minutes, no worries.
This is are screens of 2 nights ago, where we destroyed this your bug abusing 5 times in 1 hour. too bad that at lat time we sleep.
Sorry but:
1. Can’t even zoom this at imageshack – it keeps kicking me to main page
2. There’s no time on those screenshots which means they could be made in completely different times.
I will up differently.
are you blind? there are many timers on the GUI. the score one and the repel enemy…oh my god…
Scores at time to the next points “tick” don’t prove here anything. I want screenshots with the Time that they were made. You know that there’s such an option in the game, to see what time is it, right?
@Edit.
Ok, now i can see it properly. They were made in ~1minute distance. And this is really strange, that 1 of the gates is “normal”. I still don’t see that it was 1am, or w/e but nvm now.

stop trashtalking. at 1 am is late to leave a full time patrol. the fact is that you abuse of 2 bugs (south non reinforced door and non yellow swords when less than 5 people engage guards).
the garrison is almost always contested from the stupid creeps.
Gratz to you that are nerds nolifers that have time to nightcap everything.
Again, we’re not the ones making threads accusing people of cheating, then posting in other threads that underworld cheats like it’s a fact. – Who’s the one trash talking?
Learn more about the EULA u agreed to and what is exploiting, untill then be better quiet you are only attracting attention. I know how this things work and I am not using them, as well as I will not be guarding one door at 1 am because of that since i was doing it 6 hours prior to that, BTW at that time u really dont have to use this exploit to get inside our server sleeps by that time already anyway :P
The guy who made the thread is just asking Anet if this was intended or its still a “to do issue” so let him be, eventho it might ruin ur easy wins.
1. I demand proof that this gate was not reinforced while every other gates were. Until then, stop insisting that someone used bug and is exploiting this.
+ this was not really “night capping” from what i heard.
You need to stop leaving things undefended if you want this to stop happening.
Your garrison even had a teleport upgrade this time, surely the fact you couldn’t teleport for the 5-6 minutes it takes us to take out your outer gate should have been a clue that the fort was under attack?
We can’t be held responsible if you guys can’t be bothered to check your forts that are flagged.
Stop acting like u dont know that the keep is almost nonstop in such state thanks to stupid weather nod, lightining hitting npc and/or quagans trolling infornt of gates, you are simply using the buggy inner nonupgraded gate to get there faster…I guess all your keeps are defendend minimaly by 5 ppl nonstop 24/7..since u see there crossed white sword almost all the time.
Lightning does not make anything contested.
And anyway – do you expect that enemy server will attack reinforced gate instead of normal gate? Oh snap. Not their fault. Be more carefull about this gate next time and put some people/siege to defend it.
especially all these people defending it.
the worst defence is “well i can buy gems with gold, so it’s not pay to win”
that argument basically says “nothing this game does can be pay to win”
because even if they released a teir of gear above exotic that could only be bought with gems, gold -> gems means not pay to win.
im not going to stop playing the game becuase of it, but i really really hope they remove them, because bonus movementspeed, armor and dmg just make you a better character.
If there ever gets to be hard content that no one can beat, but they almost can, have everyone pop their boosts, and suddenly they can.
You sir need to learn what term “Pay to Win” in MMOs means.
Pay to Win = you get advantage over other player because you spent some money on gems/whatever else and he not. This other player can’t compete at all with you unless he buy gems/whatever else too, just like you did.
So, basically this does not happen in this game. Getting gold in this game is fairly easy, so therefore getting gems is easy too. And even if they would release items above exotic for gems: you can buy gems for gold and get this. If this would not cost gems but gols – you still would have to spend gold on it.. so what’s the problem?
Rather normal. I assume that you have not too many kills in WvW right?
And try sometimes doing jumping puzzles across WvW – those gives some badges too.
Oh.. my bad Azizul. Every time i see thread with “Night capping” it’s probably some whiner.
Just bring in Region lock so US/EU players can’t play on each other’s servers.
Eh, please hide your existence.
Simple example:
Once uppon a time, there was a Guild that was playing some MMO together. They were people that lived in different parts of the world, some in America, some in Europe, some in Asia or where ever else… Why the hell wouldn’t they be able to play together on the same server in Guild Wars 2, only because few kids whine about “night capping”
A strong counter argument is that you can use gold to buy gems to buy keys and get those potions, so its hardly a P2W situation.
Money -> Gem -> Gold -> Exo/rune/sigil/potion/food happens all the time but its ok since everyone can get those without real money.
Gold -> Gem -> Key -> Potion works the same way cause players can get it without spending real money.
Don’t forget that you can actually drop keys (chance like 0.00001% but still xD, dropped 1 in my 360h gameplay) + you get keys for some quests and area explorations. And sometimes you get something from itemshop as a daily achievement reward, as Black Lion Kit, etc.
So there’s absolutely no way in calling this game P2W
Food gives you stats, life steal, magic find, or whatever else.. You have to buy it if your professions is unable to craft it… you gonna say that this is pay to win too?
And Exactly what WereDragon said – i have half of my bank fulfilled with different boosts.. and never spent single gem on them so far. And if i ever would want to buy them for gems – i will simply convert my gold to gems.
1. You can get those from chests
2. You can get gems for GOLD and then buy those boosts.
= In no kitten way this is Pay to Win.
Game is Pay to Win, if spending real money gives you advantage over people not spending it. In Guild Wars 2, maybe spending money makes few thinbgs A LITTLE bit easier, but whole item shop is available for everyone, and you don’t have to spend real money to get items for gems. So saying that GW2 is Pay to Win is just idiotic.
Yes, ofc. Haters gonna hate. Nobody force you to believe.
And suuuure, i would make pics 2 days ago to post them in todays thread, ofc.
And look at the hour – it’s 11:xx GTM+2 time btw.
Anyway, dont’ believe – your problem. I sent ticket regarding this to Anet with the exact same screens made TODAY at 11:27, 11:47, 11:57 GMT+2 (cause i live in Poland and now we have summer time). See at time when i made screenshots, and when i added posts – i was posting here during 2nd run.
1. They increased reward
2. Dungeon is not supposed to be easy
3. For many people IT IS fun, and we don’t really care about whiners
4. Finding group is pretty easy, lol. If you can’t find group – make you own, or do dungeons with guild mates. What’s the problem? You don’t have neither guild or friends?
5. If they would make 1 token for all dungeons – most of people would GRIND only 1, the easiest path of all of them. This is a bad idea.
6. No, there’s almost no grind unless you WANT to grind. Nobody forces you to buy dungeon sets, they have same stats as items that you can either craft or buy on Trading Post.
1. Magg is still teleporting over Lava room
2. You are still able to get 2x loot from last chest jumping over gate in kite room
3. You are still able to jump over 1st gate before choosing path
I will post screenshots in this post, just need to edit the names of my party members.
But i repeat – it’s still possible to get 2x loot from the last chest. It’s different way than before, but it’s possible.
And last, after destroying flame and completing kite/boom room. Did not have proof here of 2x loot though.. But don’t wanna do it any more times. 1st time gave 60 tokens, 2nd 20 + i did 2nd run only to get screenshots.
[IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/24ywor8.jpg[/IMG]
Eh no, im not. You just simply jump on the ground in the place and simply go to the other side. After that, you destroy flame, back to kite room, complete it, and you can open chest 2 times at the end.
Maybe it’s not too clear.. it will be after i post screenshots.. im just doing it 2nd time right now to prove it.
I don’t have any problems with repair costs.. so if you have then you are definitely doing something wrong. They are still smaller than the amount of gold you earn on WvW. Unless you just run mindlessly and die few times per minute.
