Does Anet think that Tequatl was a success as far as a living story addition? Why can Black Gate do this, but most servers can not?
:P teamspeak and vent give an unfair advantage to those of us who do not use it.
This reminds me of underworld speed clearing groups in guildwars1. They work together, go in and farm a difficult area, get filthy rich, they understand the mechanics, they see clearing UW as easy, because they all know what they are doing. The people who don’t understand the meta, who are unable to run the specific build needed to fill out the sc party, end up saying screwit, I’m not interested in playing with those elitists anyway. Half the people here are saying beating tequatl is easy, and that it will become a common occurrence while the rest are upset they can’t get into a zone that has any remote chance of success. I am sure the well put together groups will make tons of coin on this event, while the majority of guild wars 2 players will give up in frustration.
Its amazing how often trolls will respond to a topic that has been posted by a large number of people, with the same response as they had for the first thread on the topic.
I don’t care if 1 troll thinks it’s easy, when 20 people have felt posting about this path’s difficulty was worth their time. This is not a high end dungeon, It’s in a low level area.
Tried this path with an experienced group of guildees who do dungeons all the time. We eventually gave up.
If Anet is unwilling to change this path I will consider it to be blocking my progress, which in effect means I have no reason to care about moving forward in this game. I know I am not the only one who feels this way based on the insane amount of posts complaining about this path. Fun is not defined by only being able to accomplish something by using a gimmick.
make the game fun for everyone please.
you read this anet?
Are you people daft? What good is a waypoint that spawns on a different path?
trolls… thanks for bumping my post I suppose, maybe anet will do something about it instead of allowing this forum to be a place for thread kittens. Some people are just incapable of a simple yes or no
Since my last post was hijacked by people explaining how to kill lupi.cus, Im going to ask this a different way. Simple yes or no will suffice.
Do you believe Anet should add another waypoint to Path 1 of Arah?
Yes, very painful to wipe at lupi in path 1.
But as long as we don’t have a convenient wp… if the fight’s going south, best to have the remaining member(s) flee the room to reset lupi. You may need to run some distance into the previous room if he’s chasing you. As long as one player survives, once he resets they can safely go back in and res the rest of your team, then try again.
This is what I mean by annoying, Laying dead with 3 members of your party while the one member who has been playing more cautious than the others, runs out of the room, hopefully not aggroing other mobs, breaking agro with lupis, hopefully not dying, standing around doing nothing while foes reset, so he can safely come back and 1 by 1, rez everyone. And if your lucky there won’t be 3 sets of locusts sitting by Lupi waiting for you to come back, like there was for me last night.
This makes the run take too long, most normal people will have dinner to make, kids to put to bed, dishes to wash, homework to do. People lose interest in the dungeon and feel their time is better spent elsewhere in the game, There is a lot of stuff to do.
The point of this thread is the necessity of a waypoint.
We don’t need people like Lord Byron explaining the gimmick on how to kill the boss, like that is the solution. There are plenty of threads in this forum about how it can be done. Some of us need more practice than others to get these ‘gimmick’ bosses to die, but if the group falls apart after 2 tries, the run is over. 3 hours wasted and the desire to play gw for the rest of the night is diminished.
ya I have failed in path 1 because of this, and also I think Path 4.
Maybe its psychological, but running is exhausting.
I know all you leet players are gonna tell me I just need a better group, or to learn how to play better, but what ever… I play this game for fun, not as an obsession.
All I am asking for is a waypoint closer to lupis… is that really so much to ask? Then I can spend more time learning how to kill the dang thing, instead of aggravating myself with a pointless, unproductive run across a zone I have already mostly completed.
TWO hours or more to get to lupis, most people are ready to take a break or call it a night. Then first wipe at lupis, you have to waypoint almost back to the start and run back to the fight, hoping one straggler doesn’t die on the way, which takes time to rez. and is annoying.
I have yet to get into a arah group that has not decided to call it a night after failing lupis three or four tries. I think the biggest reason people call it quits is they are tired of waypointing and running everytime they wipe.
apparently no one cares
I would like to suggest the ability to see the Dungeon paths I have either Completed, or that are Needed, when hovering over the associated Dungeon Icon on the World Map.
The achievement panel doesn’t help much in tracking where a player has been, and it is way too much to remember.
No, there is no ‘reset’, you are experiencing RNG (alimo)
maybe anet would be willing to remove any doubt by standing up and being transparent about their policies instead of being afraid of telling us what they are.
Wiki is wrong. 5pm reset does not remove diminishing returns.
Anet will tell us what causes it. why won’t they tell us what removes it?
If I play another area, does that remove DR and is the amount of time I play there a determining factor in the removal of DR? Does DR remove gradually, so the longer I play somewhere else, the more DR is removed, until it is at zero again? or does it go from 100% DR to 0% DR as soon as I do, what ever it is I am supposed to do?
Is my character just screwed from now on because it is 100% world map, and has finished the story line? and I enjoy playing the game in one specific ‘supposedly’ rewarding area? (ie a lvl 80 zone) How big of an area encompasses DR if I am killing stuff there? Is it per foe, or per zone? Is it all of Kryta, Maguuma etc.?
People in my guild like to joke about how anet has singled me out for terrible drops. I am not concerned with the RNG.
I would love to know if I am trying to catch fish in an empty lake.
Tired, yes. I came to these forums tonight in search of direction, I thought maybe I could gain some insight into what I can do next. People who do dungeons remind me of the ecto farmers of UW in gw1. Im not going to jump on the meta cookie cutter bandwagon… 110 locked black lion chests, each time I get one, I groan. The 28th of Jan. can’t get here soon enough, I hope its not a letdown like krakas were.
