I’m fine at dungeon. Arah is just long.

So anyway, who’s up for Arah 4? Whisper me ingame.

Just hire the guy from gw2lfg.

You already did a web-interface-thingie with the trading post, and gw2lfg is very wesome. Just integrate it into the game, don’t reinvent the wheel.

Yes it is. Four noobs will have a hard time killing most bosses without wiping, whether or not you have a fifth that can tell you tactics.

He said he was doing arah for DM title. You’d think people aspiring for that had an ability to quickly adapt to new dungeon.

Have you done Arah?

Adapt all you want, but they’ll still steamroll you. It’s unforgiving. Yeah I’m going for DM and Arah 4 is all I need left, and I dungeon daily.

I’d have to say the bulk of dying is trying to skip. Skipping in an unknown dungeon is just asking for trouble.

Why do Dungeons give Unique Tokens?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

My only wish would be to enable players to get armours with any kind of stat distribution (TA set with zerker’s stats for instance). Universal tokens is bad idea for reasons said already by few posters before.

That wouldn’t encourage you to buy transmutation stones, now. Would it?

That wouldn’t be good for business.

Hey you’re in luck, I did path 2 yesterday and path 1 today. We had someone in the team that knew what they were doing most of the time so it was faster.

3 hours, each time. it’s horrible. it’s long, it’s tedious. it’s hard. it’s boring.

The worse part is that you get no reward for wasting 3 hours in there. Over these path 1 and path 2, 6 hours wasted, only blues and green, and 1 yellow. Nothing else notable.

I hate arah, and I’m never doing it again after I get dungeon master achievement. it’s a waste of time and resource.

Last night I ran dungeons, we did CoF 1-2, SE 3, Arah 1 and CoE 1 and 2

Notable drops: A charged core and a level 78 yellow item that salvaged for 1 ecto.

5 hours of dungeoning rewarded with a charged core, one ecto and 3 gold worth of blues/greens and the 26s per path.

I’d like to add that www.orrmaps.com if your best bet to find all those nodes.

Get the special, green pick from Whisperwill Bogs heart vendor – more chances for “orb” type gems.

Also get the special, green sickle from heart vendor at Challdar Gorges – nodes will yield more “food”.

Also make sure not to miss the omnomberries, they are worth plenty and you should get 2 most of the times with the green sickle!

There was an exploit where you could get unlimited achievement points.

Also “Agent of Entropy” doesn’t have a cap, so you could farm achievement points if you wanted.

How about a trading system?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

There is a trade option, it’s called the trading post.

Arenanet consciously decided to remove player to player trading.

At the start of the game, the trading post wasn’t working for a few weeks. You should have seen the chat box back then.

What you see how as “LFG FOTM” you’d see as “WTS crappy blues and greens”

The Skipping culture

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

We’ve seen this thread 100 times,and the answer is the same:

Skipping is a legitimate way to run a dungeon, and arenanet has sated so.

If you don’t want to skip, announce it at party creation and find like minded people who want to kill everything.

Problem solved; everyone’s happy.

Dungeon Tokens - Add Lodestones to Vendors

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

Lodestones should not cost less than 180 tokens, and having a “random token” from AC is a really bad idea.

I know we want to get everything easily, but let’s look at it from an unbiased POV. Doing AC once and getting a charged lodestone? not reasonable. Doing CoE 3 times and having a guaranteed charged lodestone, plus whatever you got in the dungeon, now we’re talking more balanced.

Yes it’s a known bug, and you can still get your 60 tears by trying the same path again, and hoping it won’t bug out

question about dungeon rewards

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

Ok, well I’m speaking from experience, as I regularly run dungeons with two toons and have learned the DR’s quirks and consistently get the 60 tokens.

Whether you choose to double your tokens or not is up to you.

question about dungeon rewards

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

Sorry Kumakichi, but that is not accurate.

There is a account DR, but it’s more complex than that:

Toon X does CoF path 1 and 2 – 60 tokens every time
Now immediately switch to toon Y and do the same, you’ll be hit by DR because you repeated the same path too rapidly.

Wait 2-3 hours then do the path on toon Y – you’ll get normal rewards.

My strategy is to do my runs early evening with toon X, then switch to Y and do more.

Always leave a good 2 hours between repeating the same path, on different toons.

Yes, you will get 60 tokens every time if you wait for your second “set”.

You will also encouter a DR if you do too many dungeon runs too rapidly. however you will get 45 tokens for hitting the “tooo many paths too rapidly DR”

The “same path too rpaidly DR” simply halves the tokens. 60, then 30, then 20 for all otehr runs.

Is it possible to do so with the bag?

Hello JeetyWeety.

There is no auction house in gw2, only a trading post.

Also the trading post requires you to list an item ABOVE vendor price.

That means 1c more than vendor price, is the minimum you can list for.

Keep in mind arenanet has a lot of departments. I’m sure there’s an entire team assigned to working on new dungeons, new maps, etc.

And well there’s also a team assigned to do holiday stuff. However don’t delegate jewelry crafting recipes to them – they’ll make them inconsistent to the others, and crash the game economy, LOL

Huh? I don’t think you have an equal change to get 3 ectos than 1.

Easier way to reproduce this problem:

Open the TP window, click third icon to show the search box.

Then go in your chat box and say anything, anywhere (map, whatever).

Then try to type back into the TP search box – you’ll find that you can’t.

To fix it, click “Show Filters”, then you can type in the search box again, or you can close and reopen the trading post window.

Darkdanjal, as you’ve seemed to learned about these forums, if you discuss the loot nerf, your thread will be closed and or deleted. It’s easier to ignore the problem than respond to it.

If you want easy money, buy gems with RL money and trade in for gold.

CoE exp guide.

CoE is my favourite dungeon, especially path 2 fights against Alpha. Definitely one of the most fun fight in the game, in my opinion.

One interesting thing to note about Alpha’s giant AoE, is that if you time your dodge correctly, you can dodge while inside the AoE. As in, you don’t have to dodge outside of the circle to survive.

Thanks for your guide. I hope it’ll bring more people to CoE!
