get the 10% firework booster from lunar new year.
You should be able to lvl to roughly 70 in 3 hours with 8 craft to 400.
how is the population during peek time?
I’m from sos. and eventhough server is empty most of the time. At peak time there is still queue. So make sense Anet dont’ want more people to move to SoS.
Do not get me started about the aetherpath in twilight arbor. Unless you get one of the rare drop weapon skins once in a lifetime, you basically wasted your time.
which is precisely what I’m talking about.
One of the dungeon group I know actually do them everyday. And they get like 4-5 of it. And it’s worth it to them since they can do it in 20 minutes.
You think it’s not worth it because you can’t do it fast.
I can do it fast, but if you only get a skin every 100 runs or so on average it still turns out to terrible gold per hour
It’s more of a example than anything. The dungeon take me like 3 hours to do in pug, while another group do it in 20 minutes. So should the rewards be balance base on 3 hours or 20 minutes?
And anything relatively hard and soloable just become another thing dungeon seller sell.

You make it sounds like its something bad to reward good players for doing harder content.
I’m talking about rewards per hour.
No one bothers to run TA aetherblade because PUG could take 3 hours. So unless people are giving like 30 gold for completing it, most people dont’ bother.
But a pro group could finish it in 15 minutes. And I highly doubt Anet will give people 30 gold for something that can be complete in 15 minutes.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
No one bother with harder content if it don’t reward something good.
And if it reward something good, it just become cash cow for pro group who either speed run it fast or sell it to other players.
I guess some people will try to find the most ridiculous reasons only to make they’re selfish playstyle viable. I keep repeating that is not the gear i’m complaining about, yet I still get replies about Zerker this Zerker that WHEN I was actually talking about USEFULL group utilities.
well, I think you are exaggerating a little bit. For fractal 50, once in a blue moon I actually find group that is terrible enough I bother to complain.
I’m sure 95% of the guardian bring reflect for fotm50.
And sometimes people just dont’ know why people use build the way they do. I use staff/GS for legendary imbued shaman on my guardian. Some people laugh at me for using staff, when guardian duoing the encounter use staff too.
I think those anti-meta threads have made Special Snow Flakes more ambitious lately. I’m so so so SO sick of people that waste other peoples time with no shame getting carried by people that try to maximaze they’re builds to provide both DPS and team utility.
So are you doing 20 minutes fractal50 pug run?
else I dont’ see it matters.
Why do people even care about meta that much. Almost every pug fractal50 run is 40-50 minutes regardless of class composition or if someone put some defense gear or traits.
There are probably trio record even faster than your 5 man.
So if 3zerkers are faster than 4/5zerkers, what does that mean? That zerker DPS is not that important for speed right?
No it means your group is not as good as the other group.
Okay so speed running requires skill and not because of zerker gear. I’m fine with that.
well if you can repost a 5 man nomad run and make it fast people might believe you. your other teamates is actually wearing zerker. Or even cleric if you dont’ have easy access.
I actaully want to make 5 man necro runs just to laugh at all the people mocking necro. Why do people even care if there’s a necro in the party when their run is so slow that it dont’ matter.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
welp no point now since its been moved to dungeon forum where most people understand what speed is.
which is why I keep telling necro or bow bear is not the reason “pug” is slow.
it only make a big difference when people is trying to push 1 or 2 minutes difference in super speed run.
I dont’ know why people keep thinking necro or ranger even matters when their pug run is like 4 times longer than world record.

Everyone knows thief stealth or guardian reflect makes dungeon faster and easier. You don’t need to twist people’s word like that.
People is just saying there is no point wearing toughness or healing gear, or defensive traits.
If you want to prove your pre-made is better than pug you prove your point. I’d like to see you carry pug in your 0 dps gear and a bunch of people don’t know how to play.
if the guys being carried bring some support that doesn’t scale with gear (like blinds, invis, blocks) they may even prove useful even if they are not lvl 80 zerkers.
Yep!
This is just a silly post. Every thing is easy in premade. There are probably trio record even faster than your 5 man.
Try to do it in pug.
and you act like people dont’ know stealth makes dungeon faster. Everyone knows that.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
Why do people keep moking bow bear or necro. When their run is even slower than 5 necro or 5 bow bear.
I think that’s the point.
at least you don’t get trolls. someone in my guild start some rumor about me being in ESL or soloing fractal50 with multiple account.
And I think people keep saying something on vent. For some reason I have a hard time knowing people are talking to me unless they make it clear. And Since I’m not sure, I’m a bit lazy to respond.
it was released again during lion arch invasion.
so there’s a chance it’ll come back.
I heard Anet mention about bringing back marionette event some time in the future as guild mission. So there’s hope Anet “might” release it again.
overlay app and addon isn’t even the same thing(I presume).
base on their tos. you can make any overlay or have any thing on top of your GW2 window while playing as long as it don’t break tos. So it don’t even have anything to do with overwolf.

if it is only for challenge, you can ask some friend to help you get pass some points.
I know some arah path 1 sellers just ask friends or people to help them get through tar etc. It can get cumbersome if it is a daily routine though.
If you have a good computer I suggest you just get a few accounts. It is also pretty easy to level alt accounts if you can solo dungeon. Since you can just solo dungeon and all your other accounts gets exp.
I could not imagine spending more than a few months on one game (1-2 hours a day, 4-5 days a week).
Judging by your play style, you should just do some dungeon, wvw, spvp and not worry about legendary.
I’ll break down the time it takes to get a legendary.
30 hours for map completion. (if you are slow it can take up to 60 hours for first timer)
2 month of daily teq. Which takes 20 minutes.
roughly 800 gold for gift of fortune which takes 80 hours of farming.
now the precursor can take 100-800 gold depend on what you want so 10-80 hours.
So you’ll need 150-250 hours depend on what legendary you want. You also might be short of skill points(which you need 350).
So it’ll take you most likely 3+ month to get a legendary. Which don’t sound so bad but you have to play a playstyle you might not enjoy.
One of the reason is longbow is really bad dps before. And many people still think longbow ranger is terrible.
Longbow have since get a huge boost a while ago. That being said, I have no idea how long bow ranger dps perform. All I know is it’s not as terrible as before.
Because something that can be soloed can hardly be challenging for a group. See all the speed run records. The dungeons are a joke for any half decent group.
right but if the only group content is due to mechanics and not difficulty (for example panel or controller) etc…
The only content which havn’t been soloed due to mechanic is high level legendary imbued shaman. It’s the only fight which require 2 people to beat. Every other content have been beaten on youtube.
and thing about hard content is no one do them. Just look at aetherblade path.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
you can also just get 5 account.
I’m amazed how my computer can run 5 account with 8 GB ram.
Massive MULTIplayer Online
If that’s the case. They shouldn’t make most of the dungeon soloable.
That being said, it’s nice it is soloable. Which means the dungeon is easy enough, you don’t have to worry with bad pug.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
probably because you get “everything” when you farm.
For example champ bag. It can give you everything and anything.
so you can just trade in things you don’t want for things you want.
The reason people care so much is not about solos.
If you cant tell me you dont’ solo arah. I’ll just shut up and move on. Because my guess is most people complaining are probably arah soloers.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
If it isn’t about solos, why are people even complaining about arah.
Does that minor change all of a sudden make 5 man party incapable of getting pass lupi?
You dont’ even need to melee the boss. And in a 5 man party you might get aegis or vigor reflect, etc from other people. and some time you can hide behind the boss, so you should have enough of the dodges.
The only reason I want lupi to be fixed, is so I can learn to solo him. I couldn’t solo him before, chances are I can’t now too. If it’s for 5 mans, I honestly dont’ care about the changes.
If people are really telling me it’s about 5 man parties. How many people complaining are not arah soloers.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
I’m probably trolling a bit and argue for the sack of arguing.
But my point of view is there are dungeon outside of arah. And it seems people only care about it because they are arah seller, or arah is more iconic in some way.
If anet would make a solo version of all dungeon and fine tune them base on class, it would be really nice. Right now the only way to solo some of the dungeon is to get 5 account for example for cof. Since soloing dungeon have become such a big part of GW2, why not push it a bit further.
If Anet think they should fix the bug to make all the solo arah players happy. They could do the same for other dungeon too.
I think lupi could use some buffs to make him more active in phase 2 and 3, but this is a bad bug. Lupi was a great boss because you could use almost any build and any class (well you usually had to slot in some survival) and still manage to do him in a party or solo. He was challenging but inclusive. Now he’s exclusive to certain classes and basically begs to be one shot in 99% of pugs.
I’m not even good enough to join those “experienced melee LUPI only” on LFG.
Since I’m not experienced and I can’t melee Lupi.
So I can only join group with no requirement and full of new players. And we kill LUPI ranging.
So I have no idea, how so many pros get stuck on LUPI now in 5 man group.
And if you want to talk about exclusion. How many class can actually solo AC path 1. And if you want to talk about difficulty many people I know still solo arah, while they can’t solo AC path 1. So shouldn’t AC path 1 deserve a look at, and make it easier?
I have no idea why people keep mention reflect.
Even 5 completely new peoplel can range and kill lupi with no problem without reflect.
I don’t know why people keep thinking they should stand infront and melee(auto attack) him to death.
It’s kind of like molten duo. Sure it’s nice that there is someone with reflect and some “players that like to auto attack in melee range and do nothing else” can kill the boss. But it’s not like you really need to do that if you aren’t “too terrible”.
Yes well obviously I’m not going to bother now that I know it’s true. Doesn’t it bother anyone else that the game is like this? You paid for a game, after seeing all those cool armor and weapon sets, just to learn that in order to have them you have to play it to an unhealthy level, and then, play it even farther to, what looks like, an obsessive disorder.
There are more to the game. Like having fun in Wvw, spvp. Or soloing dungeons. Even social or RP. Or just learning all the tricks with every class.
Holy mother of a blue guinea pig! Thunk! That was the sound of my jaw hitting the floor in disbelief. Just the way you guys answered that so casually is shocking enough, but to learn that it’s not just true, but so easily accepted? …. Wow …. Ok that settles it ….. My kids will never play an MMORPG. Fresh air and sports for my girls. Thanks for your candid replies.
Not everyone care about getting a LV handbag.
But I think it depends on how you play. Some people play all days. They can probably get a legendary in 2 weeks.
If it’s so bad that people can’t solo arah. Or if their class can’t…
I doubt every class can solo AC path 1 too. Why is that everyone should be able to solo arah but not AC path 1.
you can find other goal such as getting better at wvw or dungeons.
The only reason I would want a legendary is I can switch stats at will, and people wont’ kitten at me if I switch to a cleric sword etc.
how much are you selling it for?
I presume you are in EU. selling path isn’t as popular in NA. People mostly only sell arah here.
you can play a guardian and just wall and shield. but that might kill the boss.
and oxtred have the answer there I think. All you need to do is keep shifting left and right and the boss range attack won’t hit you.
This is an elementalist solo video done by someone. Fast track to 19 minutes and watch him just move left and right.

I don’t think he ever said he’s using it for pve. fractal is a really good source for celestial gear though, since 3 of the armored chest have celestial.
get ascedned jewel. that’ll save you some time.
if you do fractal. 3/4 of the armored chest is celestial. and 1/4 of the chest is raiders(which is the popular one). If you do fractal 38 and 50 everyday, the drop chance is 12.3 and 7.1 respectfully.
So basically if you do fractal every day, you’ll have an average of 1 armor chest every 5 days.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
I dont’ think it’s a big deal to spend 1 minutes clicking for a charged quartz everyday. People seem to make a big deal out of it.
A full ascended set probably cost a good 500+ gold. Which could take some time depend on play style. Mot pve players probably rack that much in 10 days. People who only play wvw would have a hard time making those money.
you can create a group called “cof path 1 anyone welcome”. The only problem is you get many new players and people with low AP too. So run might not be as smooth.
Do you guys really need to reiterate the same topic every day in a new thread?
Every time this post come up my respond is always the same.
If the OP didn’t spend time on this post, he could have level up a crafting in the same amount of the time.
get an alt. use crafting to level alt. double the benefit.
Even if you dont’ like it. It should take only 30 minutes to level up a craft.
Your not the programmer that sit in front of the computer doing the work.
It’ll probably take more time than you think to implement it.
It’s already there.
You get dungeon weapon and armor skins. And ascended accessory for collection.
Even if Anet add more, you’ll either complain after you finish or RNG is so bad and it’s so hard to get like fractal weapon.
How hard do you think those spectral weapon or miniature should be? 0.5% drop rate? Some people do dungeon everyday, they’ll be done in half a year and start complaining again.
You can’t really justify the name without seeing what the class do first.
Just wait for today’s twitch on the class. Maybe you think the class is cool after you see the skills and mechanic.
Dragon hunter is as to class names as Justin Bieber is to music.
That is so untrue Dragon hunter is really cool in Skyrim, just imagine what Anet can do with the name.

Two years ago i could one-shot this boss on high levels, encounters change, that’s exactly the point here.
how do you even kill the top before? you need some kind of large aoe hit box?
I don’t even pay attention to it before. I don’t even see that many pug do it before.
I think people are soloing it without killing the top 2 years ago.
Anyway I’m out. If people think it’s so annoying or they can’t 1 shot this boss or whatever. You have the perfect reason to complain.
Maybe because I play a guardian. I probably play a easy mode class that’s why I never find it a problem.
I’d rather complain about imbued shaman being too hard. That’s the only boss which I wipe more often on.
(edited by laokoko.7403)
I dont’ even know what the swirling things is. I never tried to kill it before and non of the pug I did try to kill it before.
You guys are just so spoiled by GW2’s easy mode dungeon.
I dont’ even know what people are talking about.
People always make fun of me for not meleeing boss.
I think the snowbind boss does 1 attack which swirl wind, and you just need to dodge on the 4th turn. I’m not sure what his other attack do. I think he shoot a bolt at you?
I’m not a bad kitten . I just find it funny people can’t even avoid those attacks and they make fun of me ranging.
kitten are peopel who solo this fractal 2 years ago at lvl80. I dont’ know how 5 people find this boss a problem.
I dont’ even know what the swirling things is. I never tried to kill it before and non of the pug I did try to kill it before.
