You get an exotic for beating it once you beat it or get far you keep getting further with the more attempts you make
What makes it worse is its only for a limited period of time. When the majority of your player base cant complete it in the given time you know something is wrong.
Ya something is wrong with the playerbase they want everything beat on the first few tries then if they cant they complain
Looks like Path 2 is also bugged. Yissa wont react to the boss.
That also happened to my group only difference this time was someone ran in with a tonic might have just been a coincidence
Yes this boss resets his health a lot in phase 1 everyone in my party was attacking him and he suddenly reset his health and yes we fought him in the arena with everyone at around 900 range attacking him
these paths aren’t hard the hard part is not running into the bugs
By the time the bots get bant the user of the bot will have generated more than enough $ to buy another account. Does anet even use any detection similar to warden or do they just have look at bot reports and send a gm there? I also don’t get why bots can even do this in the first place I thought the game was server sided
GW1 they did attempt to ban bots, but the truth is that they simply cannot detect all of them. I question how many people who complain about bots actually understand how to create them, or how you would even go about detecting them. GW1 relied on detecting prolonged repetition, they had almost zero client-side checks for things such as bots or programs/tools using similar command lines and/or same API.
GW2 is most likely the same. They’ll rely on people to submit reports, and if there is significant evidence (i.e. bot that was left running for 10 hours straight repeating the same activity(s)), they’ll ban them. GW1 did ban in waves generally, however they also did ban individuals. One of the big waves happened when a certain API got so popular that it had to be stopped. It does almost seem that ANet doesn’t mind botting in moderation. It was pretty basic knowledge by the end of the game that if you ran your bot with the ‘common’ API of the time for no more than ~10 or so hours and did it sporadically, you had almost zero risk of being banned.
Yes we know anet can’t catch all of them. The issue most people have is say you are in orr doing events going through the map you will most likely see 5 different groups of bots in the same spot moving through the same path it’s painfully obvious they’re botting. Bots numbers are way too high like I said even in WvW i’ve seen 20bots everyone is probably botting because anet is so slow at catching them it’s like who cares

Thansks for the reply.I made that thread a month ago didn’t get it resolved neither did I know it was still alive. Tried disabling hardware acceleration/installing shockwave didn’t do anyting

Anytime I open my contact list[Y] my fps will instantly drop from 70 to around 5-15 and will stay that way until I close the contacts. Any ideas why? I dont have any other issues with the game other than this
i7-2600k @ 4.5ghz
570gtx @ stock
ddr3 ram @1600mhz
OP is obviously exaggerating no way would were there 10 people on 1 target meaning the rest of his story is questionable
This happened to me ebfore when I asked and replied to a user that answered my question I got an infraction they pretty much threw salt in my wounds
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Arah-path-4-bug/first#post487186
It’s kind of obvious they have no intention of fixing arah anytime soon but they would rather fix every other dungeon. Arah exp has been buggy since launch and I haven’t seen 1 patch that addressed any of the issues
(edited by RoRo.8270)
ya there are not only in la
I don’t understand how this isn’t in place yet? Today I was previewing the pact weapon skins and I guess I might have accidentally double left clicked 1 and it purchased it. Why isn’t there a confirmation window for purchasing vendor items that you can enable/disable?
Not sure why they changed the warlock attack time it was already pretty slow coupled with it being 1 shotted by pretty much anything made it only useful in certain situattions such as boss fights that didn’t target a specific area
Someone gone jelly about our glorious all-mighty 12000-14000-critting warlocks stacked on champions. :P
And where is in GW2 1v1 battles? It’s very rare situation even in spvp.
Any tournaments.
What build do you use to get locks to crit that high berserker gea with stacked fury?
Ugh only once events? Some of us can’t be on every day all day
Anyone who actuallty believed the event would be up before midnight est is off their trolly
It’s a bug happened to me before. The ship is suppose to dock close to the helicopter but it doesn’t and to land the ship has to be beside the helicopter. Might be caused by skipping the scene not sure.
Yeah im using it aswell, hopefully if their bot detection isn’t so primitive to throw up SweetFX as a cheat engine of some kind then shud be fine imo.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see people mistakenly get banned for this. I want to try it but i aint taking any chances I used something similar for bf3 but it was safe from a ban for sure
What use does the scepter have? I mainly play pve it has shorter range than gs/staff and it attacks very slow I just can’t figure out a scenario wehre it would be useful
Ya I noticed sometimes I pulled 3 sparks and then she appeared while other times I had to pull all of them. Then there are times the sparks refuse to go into place you gotta keep running through wasting time its clearly bugged but doable
Okay why did i get an infraction for saying “you’ve got to be kidding me”? I spent 3 hrs wasted on this dungeon and all I got out of it was a huge repair bill, time wasted, and an infraction for the dumbest reason ever it seems if you even slightly post anything that doesn’t support anet you will get an infraction. Who wouldn’t be frustrated for wasting around 3-4hrs and getting a bug? I don’t even care if I get another infraction for this post because it seems anet wants to have a monopoly on any sort of criticism fearmongering at its finest

My grp spent around 3 hrs on this path we beat simin and made it to the shard at the end. Where there are 4 undead guarding it we killed them as it said to at the top right but nothing happened… Npc doesn’t interact with it at all. Only thing we did was skip the mobs from the last boss simin to the shard. Any ideas?
Did you skip the gorilla boss jsut wondering
@roro, I’ve seen maybe 2 drop on my way to my first 80, and I leveled through each zone and personal story, not crafting or wvw.
The intent is obvious and I doubt they’ll fix the drop rate. They will probably nerf it, not that you’d notice since they don’t drop as is.
During the first month of release I would get keys very often maybe like 1 every 100th mob or so now its non-existant
Did they nerf the drop rate of black lion keys I haven’t seen one drop for over a month…
That dev or whatever meant updates such as adding more jumping puzzles/dynamic events/etc expansions are completely different. It’s so easy to make gold in this game anet would be shooting themselves in the foot by allowing the expansions to be bought with gems
(edited by RoRo.8270)
I agree it’s very lame that you can kick people out once you’re in the dungeon never happened to me but making it to the final chest and being kicked sounds awful
Isn’t speed clearing it, finishing it in an hr and a half vs 3 hrs =P
Was no where close to a speed clear a speed clear would be within the range of 30-45mins
RoRo if you noticed I Said nothing about there health being nerfed lol, Lupi’s dmg was nerfed or bugged… i did him a few days ago with no stacks and his teleport 1 shot, then i did him with 7 stacks and his teleport still one shot, yesterday though it barely did 50% of my HP worth of dmg… I was wearing the same gear everytime.
As with Alphard evertime ive fought him hes done the teleport to the middle thing except for yesterday, if it is just random then oh well, he was much easier when not doing it lol
If they were just bugs then so be it, but it seemed to make the dungeon easier… and i still stand by my statement that overall health should be lowered on mobs a little and balanced by them having harder mechanics…
And where did I say anything about health? You are delusional
Pretty sure no changes were made to Arah. Depending on how many grubs giganticus has eaten might have increase his dmg or you changed your gear/buffs/etc. That boss in path 2 still teleports to the mid and does the electric ball attack so i’m not sure what exactly you’re ranting about here. I did both of the bosses you mentioned yesterday and nothing changed. I doubt they made any changes to Arah because why would they lower giganticus dmg but not fix him being kiteable?
(edited by RoRo.8270)
@saboth
When you fight giganticus you can zoom the camera out further than usual but it does seem like it is zoomed out even more than when I fought him he might be using some mod that allows him to extend the distance?
So they fixed it so you can’t pull him out of the room to the waypoint anymore?
They didn’t change anything with arah explorable not sure what the other dude is talking about the only thing that was changed was the token system and that was for every dungeon
It took us around 1hr and 30mins to do the path 3 after reset. We also completed path 3 15mins before the reset
I agree the camera FoV and zoom are probably the worst of any mmo i’ve played. The majority of my actions are rotating the camera constantly because it is so close you can barely see anything. Another huge issue is anet built a gorgeous world that has structures that go extremely high such as orr but you will never get to truly appreciate it because like the OP said the camera is so poor that you will be looking at the ground the majority of the time. It’s such a waste to have all these big structures that will never truly be seen
I’ve been playing the game for over 500hrs and this is 1 of the big disappointments and from an earlier post I don’t think it will change. Over that time i’ve never heard anyone praise the camera only put it down
(edited by RoRo.8270)
Ive had him slighty north of the center of the room.
He used the AoE attack. I had literally nowhere to run but backwards at the time, and he just resets. Even with 3 other people in the room who were all in the same situation.His aggro range is literally like, half the size of the room, and its certainly smaller than his AoE attack. At the VERY least his AoE attack needs to be smaller than his aggro range. it’s stupid as all kitten to dodge it and find he’s reset because your dodge has brought you just out of his aggro range.
I agree most of the time when he uses the big aoe attack that covers half the room you want to get as far away from him as possible but this results in him resetting even though you’re still in combat
yaa, we where doing this boss today and when we where reaching his 50% of life, he somehow reset, and we didnt do it anymore, it reseted like 3 or 4 times.
The boss resets a lot if nobody is within his range attacking him for more than 1 second. He shadowstepped to an ally which he killed and then reset instantly im guessing it was ebcause we were out of range
I did 3 arah runs today. First was path 2 and path 3 of arah explorable this was all before the 5pm reset time. For both runs I got 60 shards. After the reset I did another run of Arah path 3 but ended up getting 30 shards. Why did I only get 30 shards? I do this daily and I always get 60 shards.
Wow now its bugged on crystal desert
crystal desert 15char
Why doesn’t the portal skill tooltip show how the max range for the skill?
I agree downed state shouldn’t be in WvW
Just reading some of these responses. Its no wonder people say the boss mechanics are boring. Just reading the Op tells me most people would rather find exploits or ways to bug the boss than try to do them as intended.
Lets take the gorilla boss for example. People are pulling it out of his room to avoid resurrection of his adds. I can not WAIT till the devs put an end to pulling bosses out of their rooms. In the gorilla room there is a staff. The ability of the staff is a trap that stuns the gorilla. Guess what? You actually use the staff to prevent him from ressing his adds.
If people would do the bosses like they are designed to be done instead of trying to exploit them, you would have a much better and more fun time.
Oh btw, if the 4 people who stand on the Spouts of the tar elemental boss, continue to stand on the spouts, they dont spit out more adds. burning him with the alcohol also turns the boss’s adds into lava founts. All in all, other than the 1st initial pull, you shouldnt get adds at all. When the boss goes underground, have 1 person step off a spout just long enough to cause him to reappear.
I honestly cant wait till the make giganticus room doors close so you cant pull him out.
You’re disappointed in the playerbase? You should be disappointed with the devs who didn’t bother to test their dungeons
Lol the gorilla is stupidly easy you just kite him at the start where no gorillas are and fight him there and he can’t ress any gorillas cause there are no corpses. Last boss is a joke and you want his health reduced? That tar boss isn’t hard either seems you just want everything easy like everyone else you can do this path in 1hr-1hr30mins. Only problem with path 1 is there is a broken waypoint and they need to fix giganticus so he resets properly. You must be doing something terribly wrong if you got a party of friends who are full exotics and cant clear this in less than 2hrs
Easy when he’s pulling out 8 gorilla’s eventhough we’ve lured him? Believe me, I’m sure the people we play with do actually got more skill in pve and pvp than you do, since you are saying that path is as short as the 3rd path, which is 1h and 20mins to 2h.
Okay, I’ve learned something new with the burn part at the Crub boss. Sure it’s easy then.
Then again @ Kevin: What’s the fun of skipping trash mobs? Better to not have them there anyway if you’re able to skip them…
No I don’t want everything easy. I only want things to be improved to make it fun, not frustrating as it is now for a lot people. I actually do got 3/4 arah without exploiting the arah shard farm.
Lol you keep boasting how good your team is yet you cant handle simple tasks. Show me this so called skill your super team has i’m clearly not seeing it especially when it takes your organized team 3hrs to clear path 1 and 1hr30mins to clear path 3.
Like I said the gorilla boss can pulled to the entrance of the structure he is in where there are no corpses do you even know how his ress works? Clearly not because you said he is still ressing 8 gorillas which means you aren’t doing it the way I stated. There is no point of killing trash mobs they drop nothing interesting people do dungeons for tokens not to get drops once you’ve done a path once theres no point to keep killing the same trash everytime you’ve done it
Like I said, he was summoning gorilla’s without any corpses being there.
First time he wasn’t doing that so I suppose it’s BUGGED. Just like your brain. No point running past every single mob if you want to do the dungeon for fun. They should make like 30 gates to stop people from skipping 90% of the dungeon just to gain their armor as fast as possible…
I’m doing dungeons for fun, not to gain armors.
Not everyones definition of fun=do the same dungeon with the same mob mechanics over 20x

It could or it couldn’t maybe her stealth works the same way as a theif for example if you stealth as a theif you can still take damage just that unless you attack/run out of stealth the enemy can’t see you. I think maybe if they wanted her to be attackable while invis they could have made here phase out like that mission with the priory the 1 before claw island with the asura and the undead scout
There is no such thing as best server yes there are servers that do better in cerrtain aspects like WvW the reason there were probably lots of bots on your server is because the more players that play on it the higher chance there will be bots…
Random is random
There is no such thing as “random”.
Computers aren’t able to do a true random generator.
There are what 407 dyes? Everytime you open an unid dye you have 0.25% chance of getting the 1 you want. Green dyes have a higher chance looking at the wiki there are 72/407 dyes dont know where you guys are getting dyes are class specific
Random is random
