Guild Wars 2

Gold don’t really last in GW2 , we have alot of sinks and even more coming soon…with the measly 100s of gold i got from him , i still can’t afford what i want lolol

Even on thief all it takes is 1 aimed shot and an 50% mitigated Volley and he you will go down everytime …i’ve watched people who main thieves get wrecked so don’t tell me anyone with half a brain and inferior skills can do it because they can’t.

6 hours.

The average player has only made 3g during the entire event so far. And that is only counting those who made more than 1g.

The number of people farming this is very very small because the number of people skilled enough to do so is very very small.

Wow…I must be some kind of super skilled stud.

Not. I’m pretty average.

I’m above average in all aspects of Tyria and in life. I am what most dream to be…but fear to become.

You gotta be insane to forge all those dude…you’ll be there for years unless you actually program something to do all that work for you…

Stop worrying your pretty little heads , this is all planned out by ANET. You really think they don’t know how much gold entering the game lol?

kahzee.6042:

I’d go with people exaggerating

+1 I agree , so by now someone made 1500g , or so ppl claim.

Zeno.1865:

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Since this event launched i’ve made 300g of pure cash and another 200g from selling crap.

This is with very casual play (3 hours a day) I plan on making another 500g over the weekend since I have time to play.

These claims seem so exaggerated, even with full MF and boosts, you’re lucky to make 5g an hour farming pavillion, how can you make nearly 500g at that rate.

Methinks a lot of people are making bold claims and exaggerating heavily on their profitability.

Or a lot of people abused that T3 boss bug very very badly.

The word bug , inflation , hyper inflation , and the awe so ugly word exploit gets thrown about ALOT but majority never truly know the meaning of them.

TheOneNOnlyGeneralBama.9586:

5-6 hrs farming this a day is casual right?

“midcore” at least.

Anyway I wonder how good is Queen’s Gauntlet farming in general compared to other stuff like champ trains, maybe the profits aren’t that far off?

Thx and i highly doubt it is , those things draw cores loads and everything else like no tomorrow and mind you this is cycling content that keeps moving , instead of fighting the same old 2-3 move boss you kill different bosses and mobs therefore you can endure it longer than just farming Dunlam.

What stops me from Farming Dunlam for more than 2 hrs a day? He is BEYOND BORING..same reason COF was ammmaaaazzingly lucrative but i lasted 1 week 7 hrs a day doing that and never returned…nothing more i loved than the gold but the process of getting it LITERALLY put me to sleep. No one wants a warrior in their party sleep at killing the acolytes part…

John has it all under control , i keep telling you people that. They intended for all this gold to be accumulated , we’re going to get some deep deep sinks and lets not forget this IS a celebration!

Fortus.6175:

I dont know about engis, dont play them nor ever seen them.

Engy can use a single Adept Major trait to get perma swiftness. They don’t have much of anything else that helps them move faster, but 100% uptime is 100% uptime, which is a hell of a lot better than what Mesmer gets.

When we get the ability to spam invulnerability , spam teleportation spells , stealth every so often , clone ourselves and hit massive dmg without req to look at our target then you can have perma swiftness. smh

We JUST now got our magnet nerfed recently , because it didnt require us to look at our target LOL , so you guys clearly doesnt deserve an swiftness trait nor utility.

I do 500-1k tickets a day , i cant do anymore than that or i lose my mind, now for the people claiming others made 800+ g imagine the time they had to spend just sittin there killin him endlessly…i cant even fathom the hours nor the energy / sanity required to endure such task.

However , since i made 400g in what 2 days? and i do it casually…hmmmmmmm O,O’’
5-6 hrs farming this a day is casual right?

I’ll just leave this here.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Caltrops-Box-of-Nails-give-Torment/first#post

If we’re going to get torment, might as well be logical about it.

Thank You.

You ain’t alone Vol , during pre-patch 7 i bought my warrior new zerker weapons , new zerker trinkets , modified the sigils , about 10 resets and died about 50-80×...i guess i lost what 50ish-60ish gold? the weapons and trinkets costed 20g alone.

That doesnt include what i had to re-spec my thief and the times i died on him , but ive converted well over 3k tickets

Its got till the point during farming him i can convert about 200 tickets before being completely bored out of my mind and fall asleep at the pc for like 5 mins…

Broadicea.8294:

yeah the only difference is now it takes a modicum of skill, since you can’t cheese the aggro radius anymore.

If he’d actually try to replicate the advice giving on X class during Dunlam he can join the gold train instead of being salty , too much salt kills you know

I think both sides are jerks , the people like me that frown at the sight of other queueing in my “pod” and those same ones who queued in my pod and take the entire 2 mins to kill stupid Quaggan , tornado lady , Liandra , and even Subject 7 and the crew.

I don’t understand though , its what 5-6 pods around and im the only one under this particularly one farming and you decided to queue to take all my time and what kills me most (figuratively) is when they bring buddies. WTFBBQ

TLDR : EVERYONE IS JERKS!

i made 32g so far. im set for Life!

I don’t find jobs a necessity (in Tyria). Its all about that gold and bling bling.

We trying to fly UNDER the radar not be a huge blimp on it , we all know what happens when Engie becomes vastly noticed for something , every other class do whatever it takes to dismantle us…i for one are glad we haven’t had any substantial changes lately because last thing we need are more knee jerking “fixes”.

Torment on Blowtorch is broken , the skill already can have more burning on it than its CD lol! (Permaburning QQ)

Torment goes on Box of Nails , alongside the miniscule amount of bleeding.

Blowtorch range needs to be increased (or apply max stacks at 600 range) , other than that nothing should be changed (besides the fire turning purple when using Quip!)

I actually didn’t agree with people when they said something seriously wrong with you , but now my eyes have been opened. I’ll pray for you.

Now you understand why i don’t like rezzing people who die , i jump in and start farming Dunwell 15 seconds later 3-4 guys pop up and start loitering , more times than not they queue …and it takes them days to die or (rarely) kill the boss chosen.

It’s too bad there’s no way to move your camera at all, ever

You can, and then you’re dead. That was my first encounter with Liadri. You start with a camera angle where you can’t see the boss (see previous post). Then you have to manually adjust the camera to see the boss (fingers crossed that the boss has actually rendered yet, sometimes he starts invisible for a few seconds). While you’re doing that, you already get hit by an insta kill attack.

I suck at Necro and don’t have full Ascended trinkets or even level 80 exotic weapons. My sigls are garbage and I don’t have Scholar’s runes.

http://youtu.be/VNPRcYZAZVY

Sorry Queen, it’s a gear/build/L2P thing.

Nice dps , the crits was all over the place. Clearly you weren’t being modest when you said you suck at necro , you wasted BiP on Dark Path

What you guys fail to realize is ANET is fully of aware of what goes on and off the forums..even if not they can monitor players (while invisible) doing the gauntlet. They know what they are doing , they steering the ship you just sit back and enjoy the ride and stop yelling obscenities about what you have no idea about (exploitation).

Gehirn.8796:

The changes don’t seem to be listed on the patch updates forum but they are listed on the wiki page for the 13th August patch:

Changed the mechanics of Deadeye Dunwell’s boss fight to reduce farming efficiency

User submitted. Not ANET.

No the higher the champ killed the higher your chances of getting a more exotic bag
about the MF , i haven’t tested it but it should unless you get the bag out of the chest in that case no.

Depends on where you are at. Seems you might be a in a lower area there you get a bag rarity spectrum of white (maybe green in your case) -exotic

They’ve up the ante , now he spams 3 of them in 20 sec time frame

XGhoul.7426:

Bovinity.8610:

Patch notes are there to tell us what changed in a patch. They lied.

Simple principle to understand. No need to be so disgustingly bitter.

Maybe ANet just wanted to imagine the looks on everyone’s faces the first time they went back to their Dunwell-Farm and got gibbed.

This is the reaction ANet wanted. Well played..

Esp for somone like me who bought 1250 tickets , i converted 600 b4 (1 hour) the shocking patch (NOT shocking actually)

Yrdur.1752:

TheOneNOnlyGeneralBama.9586:

They merely added RNG into his rotations

Reflect now only does ~1% of the original damage as well.

Yeah sorry forgot to mention that also , i wakittentin him 25-32 dmg and bursted out in laughter when i seen it…that was surprisingly funny of anet to do

Healix.5819:

He’s also been nerfed. His kill shot doesn’t 1 shot. It only did 6k damage, though he uses it more often.

You clearly arent used the frailty gambit dude , his kill shots are still just that WITH the gambit..a instagibb shot.

They merely added RNG into his rotations , you have no time to breathe once you enter the map with him , he opens with a kill shot or volley , you pull him he opens with another kill shot , then ports away then more kill shots into aimed shots and vollies

He is a tidbit tougher to farm now , some more than others and even impossible NOW for others.

Thats what happens when you give a Deadeye the ability to warp at blinding speed. Its hard to know where he went.

A Massive Headache.1879:

timgod.9456:

The thing is…I can eat 12 more meals at McDonalds in the time I could cook my own food with a perfect pantry (which rarely happens). As a result I have done nothing but eat McDonalds for the past 2 days (before that Wendy’s) since I feel I’m wasting my time eating anything else. Plus for this I just need to depend on myself without having to wait for ovens to pre-heat, water to boil etc.

McDonalds is trivializing all other food in the world. It’s fairly obvious why I’m fat and something needs to be done about it. I started yesterday at 151 lbs. Now I am 230, which is pretty obscene any which way you consider it.

You deserve an award for. that is great

This.
(15 char sucks)

Oh all the old limited items are returning? time to do Deadeye 1k more times!

CETheLucid.3964:

bhagwad.4281:

Please nerf Deadeye. It’s getting horribly boring killing him over and over again the whole day. But since it’s so obscenely profitable at 20g per hour, there’s simply no other activity that I can do.

I want to go back to dungeons etc. But as long as Deadeye keeps rewarding me with vast amounts of wealth I’m forced to do only that. After all…that’s why we play right? To get rich?

P.S: This is not sarcasm. I’m serious!

Well that isn’t nice , how dare you insult the OP.

Wall of Text , can we have a TLDR plox? Those things are usually a hindrance more than beneficiary.

Sanctus.8350:

“I’m finished farming this, its okay to nerf it now.”

Nice attitude.

This. Im done , now nerf it thank you XOXOXO

I sadly agree , i want that nerf so bad im sooo tired of killing him for hours on end ..whenever i log on i just go gauntlet and buy 250-750 tickets and kill the guy nonestop..but i sooo badly want to go pvp , wvw and even farm bosses with the occasional mingle in LA. Pls help me Anet…help us!

Even blinded who can’t kill a person who places their face on the barrel…

TheOneNOnlyGeneralBama.9586:

Even after killing him 800x he still surprises me with the occasional Aimed Shot spam into a Killshot , or simple bugs. Certain pods minefields are placed too close together and certain pods makes Quaggan function properly. Don’t believe me try it for yourself , some pods Quaggan will just sit there till you port past him or hit him in some fashion and others he will rush you as if you hit him fresh out the gates.

So regardless still alot of risk involved when doing this…

I don’t take quaggan for that reason. I’ll like stuff more controllable, even if that means it may take more time and effort.

Are you telling me on the gambit i have the option to pick the Crowd’s Favorite?

I have officially figured out how to farm him now with 5 gambits every 15 secs on thief . As time progresses , im going to upgrade to 6 and so forth , oh the shinies!

cloudtree.7653:

ra ra ra

Wait , what?

You have to be insanely unlucky to get not get a pre after that much toilet plundering seriously..

We can never have anything nice because warriors always steamrolling any type of pve content , i say nerf warriors co efs ;d

you better than 56% of the playerbase , be proud

You guys will get your wishes , hold on to that sweet karma you’re going to need it and maybe even more of it.

Can i have some gold OP?

Deadeye is completely different from 7 , he is on his level of difficulty because if you make 1 mistake he will spam Aimed Shots and tele away with a finish. This all assuming you attempting to farm him with 4-5 gambits.

You guys seriously think Anet aren’t aware of the situation? Lol …
