I got 4 disconnects last night all while doing Festival events, anyone else?
I agree Precursor’s should be a different color!
Dungeons are nothing but, a Gold Run, they suck!
Why do players skip content because it’s always the same, same boss, location, trash mobs all doing the same things!
How to fix it.
Add random bosses, mobs, traps, loot, etc all at random locations, add hidden locations (doors) make players find loot, don’t reward it!
Create a dungeon with 6 paths and 30 doors, any given night 3 paths and 10 doors are active, how hard would that be?
How hard could it be to have a random boss, trash mob, trap, treasure, etc behind a door?
Look at it this way, once your level 80, there’s nothing you can’t do!
At level 58 you can’t
- go to Orr maps, SouthSun Cove, FrostGorge.
- go to some dungeons
- do some events like Temples
- do some puzzles
- reconfigure you character’s traits to really learn all of your class skills
- complete crafting to grand master levels
Mesmers with Staff do just fine with groups, Elementalists can’t switch weapons in combat. Still looking for that Elementalist build that can dish out 2400+ damage and isn’t a glass cannon.
Sorry, waiting 24/7 isn’t the answer.
What’s with this temple defense, is it some group that’s trying to control temple events?
I’d say Mesmer, they can be good at both close & ranged combat, plus act as a healer! They can dish it out and still prove group support.
Elementalist are just to soft, without support in dungeons or group battles they will fail.
Temples seem to be open 24/7, the only temple events I see now are players defending open temples. The web sites that use to post temple events are no longer working.
So how do you find temple events now?
Accessing the Trading Posts fails 4 out of 5 times!!
The window opens but, none of the menus appear other than the pick-up items, no matter how long I wait. It takes 5 or 6 tries to be able to access the Trading Post, at waiting 1 -2 minutes each time taking 10-12+ minutes to access.
Disabled my fire wall (Private firewall 7.0) , nothing seems to help.
Player Housing without more RPG’s elements is just hollow! Let’s see Anet improve the RPG aspect of the game first! They have done nothing in this area so far!
I would really like some way to know which of my characters have done which dungeon paths!
The last 3 nights now, I’ve run 5-6 dungeon paths and only received 1 Yellow/Exotic? I have a base Magic Find of 118 and use Berry Bars. Before the last patch I would almost always get 1-3 Yellow/Exotics sometimes more a night running 5-6 dungeon paths.
I still get Yellows/Exotics for world events and in the open world, puzzles, etc.
So did Dungeon loot get another NERF?
I set goals each month, get xx amount of gold, complete crafting to level xx, complete this or that achievements. Once I meet these goals, I will some times quit for the rest of the month. This way I always have something to do, regardless of what is going on in the game.
If you started the group, then just post LGF, XX path X , no stacking, but if join some one else’s group you should play the way they want. Something that really bugs me about dungeons is how some players don’t want to play as a group, they don’t even help other players if they go down. What’s the point of grouping if you don’t want to play as a group?
I really don’t know why this bothers some so much, some times is a good way to help finish your daily or help level a new character.
If I want loot or gold, dungeons & some world bosses are the way to go.
I’ve run my lvl 80 Necro in Dungeons and haven’t had any issues with the right group. I also seen other players who do very well with Necro’s in Dungeons.
Rules for Necro’s in Dungeons
- Groups with 2 or more Necro’s, in most dungeons non-story that’s an instant failure.
- Join groups that don’t have a Necro and has 2 or more of the tanky classes (Warriors or Guardian).
Wow, ran 6 dungeon paths (HOW P1, SE P1 & P3, COF P1, AC P1 & COE FF) , plus completed my daily and didn’t receive a single yellow, tonight? I’ve never seen that before, seemed very very odd.
Running CM with pug groups now days is like herding cats, every one runs off in a different direction and when you chat telling them to re-group you get no response?
Some one testing bots in CM or what?
I was in a pug group last night, the LFG said SE path1 farming, so I join the group, I asked if we are going to kill everything (trash mobs), I get no response, when we get to the area for the last boss, I get kicked out side the dungeon, still in the group. I re-enter and ask what the hell happened and they respond, we are just farming the boxes, huh?
Is this something new, I never heard of this before?
Odd, all other Slayer Achievements are creatures in the open world not specific map/dungeon bosses, sounds like this Achievement should be under bosses.
I have 5 level 80 characters each having 100% Orr map completions, Yet my Slayer Achievement Giant’s stills shows 3, despite having killed tons of champion, vet, etc giants in Orr and a lot a clockwork giants during events? In fact I solo Giants in Orr when testing out a new build.
So just what Giants count for this Slayer Achievement?
Ok, it’s great for farming and completing your monthly but, it’s not much fun, you just showing up and spam the 1 key, it get’s old fast.
The game went from no one doing an Event to everyone doing Events!
I just want some way to do temple events, they now seem to be open 24/7. I miss doing temple events with some pug groups!
This camping of open temples is something I’ve never seen before the megaservers, the question is why?
Before MegaSevers
- players complained they couldn’t find open temples.
After MegaSevers
- Some temples now seem to be open 24/7.
Are these Open temples being kept open with Bots?
Does Anet need to eliminate the Temple Defense Event?
Do temple events need to be put on a schedule like world boss events?
Sorry but, Guild Wars 2 is now boring, going from event to event just to spam the 1 key, just isn’t fun! Yes, it’s been great for crafting but, that’s about it.
What happened to temple events, they are now open 24/7? No way to even tell if a temple is open/closed or if temple events are happening.
I don’t want more living story content, I want an expansion with new areas, new races, new gameplay and new levels.
Great time to craft more dyes!!!
I haven’t seen a single dye drop in PVE after the last patch?
More players making more gold equals higher prices, simple economics!
I have ascended weapons crafting in all three areas and ascended armor crafting in 2 of the 3 areas. If I’m not short Dragonite ore, than it’s something else like leather, wood, iron, linen, dust, etc, etc.
Ascended crafting is a long term goal, just like going for a Legendary, it requires a lot of farming (gold & material) to get there. After six plus months, only three of my five characters have Ascended weapons and only one with some Ascended armor. It will take me another 6 to 8 months to outfit all 5 characters with just Ascended weapons and likely a year plus to outfit all with Ascended armor. After all that, I’m sure Anet will have something better to craft/build!
Even with Ascended weapons and some armor, I still die in dungeons and during World Events just like every one else, they are not OP. You can get the same or better stats with exotics using food and other boosters.
Randomness
- Random bosses, trash mobs & loot locations in dungeons!
One wonders, is it really random or is there a requirement for a precursor?
I found the dredge in the mine near the Iron Veil WP are a decent source of linen. They drop bags, which contain 1-3 scraps of linen per, and salvagable cloth. It’s a small area, lots of spawns, and a couple of events that pop regularly. I do most of my linen farming there.
This area works great with a Omnomberry Bar, got a lot of linen from the dredge in the mine, thanks!
The problem with Google searches on GW2 is most of the info is old and useless!
Any one know of a good place (map location/event) to farm Linen?
You will play what we tell to play (less daily choice), when we tell you (fixed scheduled events) and these are the new features?
What’s next, Bots coming soon to the Gem Store?
What happens if Temple events get added to the schedule, less scheduled time for other events?
Defending the Temple is an Event you know! Fail or Success should reset the temple Event, if it was designed correctly!
Karma Farming
You can farm Karma from the Daily Activity (Crab Toss, Suncoast Survial, etc) and Boss Events. Just about any map event will reward Karma.
http://dulfy.net/2014/04/15/gw2-world-boss-schedule/
Note: each Boss event will only reward you, once per day.
Skill Point Farming
Dungeons runs (I run Honor of Ways path 1, Sorrow’s Embrace path 1, 3) daily and get 1 or 3 skill scrolls, also from map skill point locations.
Guild War2 == Zerg Wars (boring)
All of the World Boss Events have become Zerg events!
- I wanted was some way to tell if other players were doing Temples & World Boss events but, I didn’t want every event to become a Zerg only event!!
- There were so many players doing events yesterday, I couldn’t even see what was going on during the battle, it came down to just spamming the 1 key, no skill required.
- What happens when there is no Zerg, the events will fail because they don’t scale from small groups!
What’s Next?
- Will players even want to do these events 2 wks from now?
- Now that events are on a fixed schedule, fixed location, we will start seeing Bots doing events!!
Why can’t we get events with random bosses & trash mobs, random locations that scale? Anything is better than just showing up and spamming the1 key!
http://www.gw2state.com/temples.html doesn’t seem to work any more!
So how do I find open temples now?
Randomness is the way to go, change dungeons to have random bosses, random trash mobs, random locations and hidden doors and traps. Make players find treasure, don’t just reward it! This would be a 100% improvement!
Earlier today I thought my little elementalist was shaping up pretty well with 32 trait points. I log in after the update and I only have 3 trait points. ;_; I feel like she god hit with a huge nerf bat and now I have to do a lot of work (again) to get her back to where she had been. I do not like how trait points are earned now. Those points mean a lot at low levels.
Do forget the trait points have been reduced from 70 to 14 (14 now equals 70), so you didn’t lose anything, other then trying to figure out where your original trait points were allocated. The 14 points unlock the same amount of traits.
Is it just me or are Dungeons (first time run) rewards a little better? Even trash mobs seemed to drop more loot?
I ran the HOW Dungeon a second time same path with an Alt (testing builds) and got something close to nothing.
Temple events & Dungeons seem like the only things that give good loot anymore. Loot from normal Orr farming is now completely useless, you mostly get whites if anything at all. Magic find no matter how high seems useless.
Just wait, the rise of T5 & T6 mat prices are coming soon, between this and the Nerf to champ runs.
After hundreds in gold & hours to create my favorite character, my Mesmer is now useless. I hope this is a bug, if not I’m done, what’s the point, if Anet can Nerf/destroy all my hard work and make it useless?
Level 80 Elementalist, just un-locked a new grand master (never seen before) fire trait !
So how many new traits are there?
Other professions seem the same but, Mesmer is now weaker, I’m getting owned by Vets and mobs in Orr and that never happened before. My Mesmer now folds like a wet paper bag, feels more like I’m playing an Elementalist.
We are back to the days of trial and error, too many changes for Mesmer,
Mesmer was my favorite profession, I put hundreds of gold & hours in my character, post patch all builds seem weaker, still looking that build but now losing hope.
The Maw event now ends when you destroy the totem, huh?
I still have some of the old transmute crystals.
Do these still work?
Any way to trade them for the new ones?
Save silver, lose gold!
No repair cost + less loot for those who win = reward for failure!!
It’s a bad sign when a game starts to reward failure.
