I have three things to say about the dungeons. 1: Reward from old dungeons is far from being even half acceptable but i’m pretty sure everyone knows that and last dungeon update did absolutely nothing to make me do same dungeons i’ve spammed since game launch. 2: I would like a dungeon with crystal enemies (like the shatterer and its minions). 3: I would like a dungeon like The Deep/Maws fractal, frozen ocean! looks nice and a full dungeon like The deep would be hawt
wow that explains it. i play mesmer only.
here’s a simple fix, copy/paste gw1 system, job’s done/
those who don’t run dungeons are not getting many things (ascended items/armors for example) so why would it be unfair?
So many wrong things in this one sentence.
Okay don’t, who cares, go buy fine transmute stones of off TP for 3g. I do dungeons and i want more than green/blue crap (not talking about fotm here tho but the old dungeons). MK was in my opinion the only dungeon with great reward the game "had. There was no tokens, none of this useless crap (just like gw1). You played it for fun, money, useful items like those of gem store, halloween skins and bunch of exotics which you could mystic toilet (which i did for the most part) or salvage for ectos.
Because you would be forcing them to play the content they don’t like to get the same stuff you are getting by playing the content you like. What makes you better than those people or more entitled?
How about this, let’s add Gem Store items to sPvP and www only. That way people who run dungeons get ascended items, and those who are into PvP get Gem Store items.
Why do I have a strange feeling you don’t like this proposition?
I don’t think they should add anything at all to spvp, as of now its a waste of time. To wvw i’d have np with that idea.
“Because you would be forcing them to play the content they don’t like to get the same stuff you are getting by playing the content you like” isn’t this already present since day one with dungeons? not like they can get dungeon equipments elsewhere. If a person is missing on the hardest and most challenging aspect of pve (dungeons) of course he/she will be missing on stuff… i don’t know what a none casual could do in gw2 if not running dungeons anyway. Some wvw? sure but what else? there’s nothing to do other than stand in LA afk all day.

lol was asking myself the same thing for some time now. But the main reason is because gw2 has the most severe clipping of any games i’ve ever played (talking about rpg’s here and no mmo’s since i don’t play any). Do i want to have 2/3 of Twilight inside my body/in my robe? kitten no. I got 500 gems (which was like 9g!! wtf) and bought the Profane armor from gem store. now its the only i wear and the ONLY armor in game (light armor) that doesn’t clip severely with fractal greatsword
Can i/we expect to have items such as fine transmute stones/BL salvage kits in dungeon chests? During halloween having those in MK was great and would’ve been great x2 as of now because gem prices are way too high. Paying over 3g for 5 transmute stones isn’t something i will consider doing.
I wouldn’t care about gems price one bit IF BL salvage kits and fine transmute stones were in dungeon chests as they were on MK dungeon but as it is now its unacceptable. Am i paying 3g for 5 fine transmute stone? kitten NO.
If it stays like that, a kitten*** clone on a condition mesmer will deal more damage… how the kitten does that make any sense? Are you peeps trying to completely eliminate this class from gw2? if so, just delete it…
This makes zero kittening sense… You people at anet need to try fractals (or the majority of dungeons for that matter but mostly in high level fractals) with zerker delay. I does nothing but die and this is YOUR ONLY DAMAGE AOE, like come the **** on? how does this make sense?
Fixing something like preventing players from damaging the final seal directly in cliffside fractal is a much easier task than trying to figure out root cause of DCs.
Obviously the DC issue is a much larger and frustrating concern – but I image it’s also a complex one to resolve. No, it didn’t make it into this patch, but I would rather they take their time and ensure it is truly fixed than rush something that may cause other unintended issues afterwards.
What about rushing something and not failing to update properly? i payed my money, i want a playable game and not in months.
Everyone should try a couple of runs to confirm this because as i said, since FoTM was released all i do is fracs and many runs per day. on average i get three gold items (cores/lodestones included) per run (this is not even levels with maw at the end) and now GREENS. You know the Jellyfish boss, there’s a Rare spear in the chest (or two or an exotic speargun) always in there, now its the same weapon but in GREEN version. Wtf do i want greens for!?
^just like gw1. nerf, over nerf and s*** on. Btw, where is the logic in fractals since we’re at it? the farther you go the better drops/chest should be, right? RIGHT? No… you do a level 30 and get greens from chests and blues from enemies, yay zorz. If chest drops are nerfed i will do exactly one run per day and that is lev20 daily. Farmed enough kitten*** greens/blue trash in other dungeons since game launched ty.
Since Robert is on this thread, have you decreased Rare drops from chests? noticed a huge decline in Rares.
I think the rare droprate was abviously way to high… now its normal again i am happy..
What exactly was so obviously too high? Its the first dungeon in the game that rewarded you decently (the reason most ppl do it)… it wasn’t too high, its the other dungeons reward that is none existent. Like what’s the point of even going over level 20 now knowing chests are worst than Dragon chests (that is saying a lot btw).
When you do a level 30 run and get no Rares there’s a problem.
what a joke lolz did two dailies and from every single chest (excluding Maw ones) its greens and more greens… everyone is telling you your dungeon reward system sucks and and its still got nerfed? I will do one more complete run to confirm BUT since FoTM was launched i NEVER got zero Rares in a full run. now two runs in a row and i got none in six chests.
bug so epic i told this to a friend who doesn’t even play gw2 and the first thing he asked me is “anyone test those bugs or they just spam random changes?” Ya like wtf?
remove all mesmer weapons and leave them the two most balanced ones, torch/scepter.
yo, any1 at anet, plz tell me what else than a shatter build mesmers can run in pve these days? Do you have any idea how iberserker is useless in Fractals 20+???? It deals damage once every 5 casts because it dies and when it does deal damage 1/2 of the times it misses most hits and deals like 600 damage instead of 1900+… its kittening amazing what they’re doing to mes. I said this a month ago and i’ll repeat, Mesmer is Paragon 2.0 of gw2.
The day they fix phantasms, sig of illusion is the day i’ll make a phantasm/vitality build. with broken everything the shatter builds is the only way to go
solo farming on mes is VERY good but glint and all that **** its the worst class there is. For example, farming karkas, mes is probably the best class there is. farming sparks solo or with a group its great.
the harpies fractal is the best for this one rofl.
same here. i’ve done this fractal a minimum of 30 times since launch of the dungeon and i do no have this achievement, dunno wtf
mesmer has two elite skills, TW and MI. i forgot the other even existed… LOL @Moa good in pve, you can’t even tranform the majority of hard targets and when you can its for 3sec instead of 10 haha what a joke. Been running ONLY TW for over 700h in pve and switch to MI for certain situations (like skipping mobs and bla bla).
^exactly. Scepter is useless, Torch is useless, all phantasms broken, iZerker broken x2, utility skills not working properly (cough sig of illusions cough), Traits don’t work/stack, Mind Blast is a waste of space on GS’s bar….COME’ON ANET DO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF BREAKING/nerfing everything.
^they can remove all phantasms but make iZerker it was before… this is my fav mesmer skill for wvw/pve and now its broken x2. not only there’s a delay but iZerker misses the majority of its attacks as well.
I want to know the same question. What is going on down there? Like one person testing skills or something!?
Now while walking the wind effect comes from the middle of the sword instead of its edge, makes no sense and looks ugly.
damage isn’t even fixed and now we have a delay so its double r***? I DON’T KNOW SUP WITH TEST TEAM at anet… Zerker misses the majority of its attacks AND takes 3 months to even attack like wtf this is a disappointment after disappointment.
If you play dungeons and don’t give a **** about Legendary weapons like me i’d get Spy Kits. Spy Kits is all i’m wasting my Karma on since fractals
i’m so pissed they fixed ranger traps in hours and haven’t touched the broken iZerker in over two week, wtf
They broked iZerker, this forum had a riot and it took them DAYS to answer even tho there were tones of threads about it. Now its been two week and after breaking it all they’ve said (only once) is we’re looking into the problem!? what’s up with that? it makes perfect sense to me to revert its update to its last status IF it breaks, find a way to fix it and then update… but noooo they just let it broken with tones of other skills and Traits. What is going on, i don’t understand? Is there like under 10 people at anet or something? wth
what you’re saying is true. in gw1 u could make as much money as you wanted by solo ecto run UW or 55monk/130 derv farm for rare skins and sell them in spamadan. in gw2 not only exotics drop once per century (and mostly generic skin from level 76 to 79 only worth Mystic Toilet) but you can’t even have a nice time soloing something for money. Lodestones drop once per five years even with 160MF, DR **** us and we get this **** cuz of bots but i did NOT payed 60$ to play with DR. Its like anet don’t know wth they’re doing to the community… I did not liked what anet did by nerfing and over nerfing every class in gw1 until every is weak compared to how they were and did not liked when they nerfed SF/Ursan BUT that took time. GW2 been out for 2 months and its already a killing spree of nerfs. They nerf instead of fixing Traits, exploits, skills, tool tips, and ******** arah gate…
When i first bought gw2 i thought it was a worst than gw1 but after like 100h i started to like it over gw1 cuz of it smooth (but much more casualised) combat, after 900h the ONLY thing i prefer in gw2 over gw1 is its graphics…
lol karka farming is aprox 1.6g per 45 minutes (not counting Rares if u get any) and sell mats you get
all i can say is, “target is INVULNERABLE”, very annoying even tho they can hit u…
^what a load of fail haha what’s the point of even going a single level over 30? There’s none lolz Do two runs per day, one at level 20 and one at level 30, then go play another game cuz there’s nothing to do.
First of all, why the exotic version (250 tokens) gets filled by random loot you pickup? Would’ve made much more sense if it was being filled by exotics ONLY unless there’s no more space in your inventory. As it is, its full of trash before you could even dream about getting an exotic. Since the game has bizillion kind of bags but NONE that isn’t being filled by trash loot you pick up it would’ve made sense… This is for those who switch one to two hand weapons from inventory in certain situation. Its extremely annoying when the slot for your weapon was filled with random loot and takes five years to find your one handed item all mixed up now. Now the most important part is, why can’t i compact with any fractal bags? wtf is this? got one exotic bag and four normal ones (150tokens) and it doesn’t compact when u chose to… come’on now what is this crap!?
meh on mes u solo it without even moving from the place she spawns and kill much faster.
mf in dungeons is the worst idea ever, draw out the dungeons so they take even longer still receive fail loots such a waste of time. Only real way to make money is to farm events in Orr, I’ve probably ran over 500 dungeons and have yet to receive 1 exotic gear. And now with fotm and Acension gear i have to run 1 dungeon repeatedly because its the only place in game where i can get that gear? what is up with that who thinks of this stuff seriously……….. I had such high hopes about gw2 but now im thinking i wasted my time and shouldve chosen a different game , one where im not limited to farming orr or running fotm. so disappointing
exactly what i’m thinking but i’ll give them two or three more months to AT LEAST add a ********* lfg system. i’m soooooooooooooo tired of waiting HOURS before able to do a certain fractal level… heck i’m stuck at 29 for two days now cuz no1’s doing it, wtf anet.
mf food is enough. at 25+ mobs deal enough damage and many one hit even a 2k toughness, with MF gear it would be a armor destruction trip.
old dungeons need new gear. most everyone who’ve been doing dungeons since they reached level 80 have dungeon gears for 1+ months and its hard to care about some money you can make when there’s no goal for you tokens. in fractals you get lots of ectos, money, t6 mats, ascended gear and they’re way more fun and challenging. old dungeons could be deleted and i won’t even notice, coming from some1 who pretty much does dungeons only…
over level 19 (at 29 right now) every level except 25 took me over 50 minutes to fill up the group, gg anet.
the reason why i don’t spvp and will never do until i care about another class or ANET completely over nerf mes. How they come out with this decision is above me… If confusion (which is far from being OP) is halved then why not half stealth on thief, remove half the amount of minions necros can have or another stupidity? glass cannony builds are already much better for pvp AND pve but they still make it worst, lol anet sometimes.
i would put one if it wasn’t of that waste of time karma farming. have fractal gs on mine so that’s enough.
i don’t understand how it works. i mean, i did all levels from 10 to 19, and i have still 0 ascended items. should i farm level 10 daily until i have some ascended items? that’s crazy, how many month will it takes?
Only 2-7 months, have faith.
if you want to go full melee just run a war. i wouldn’t waste my time on a melee mes especially for dungeons.
iZerker is the reason to run a glass cannon build, now there’s none.
why just limit our selves to one skill? lets nerf all mes weapons, pfff lets nerf all weapons in game so damage doesn’t go over 100.
