Guild Wars 2

Weird, I just posted almost the same thing.

This should be removed, I don’t play much spvp but when I do I do it solo, I gave up on Tpvp because the match making is so bad, bunch of solo’s against 5 of the top 10 is a dumb way to do it. Which is weird because gw1 had random arena’s and team arena’s and look how good that did, why change something that works?

Anyways Spvp is turning into the same thing but on a much larger scale, tried a few different games today and everyone of them ended up being a bunch of random low levels against 30/40+ guild teams that just waited for people to join the opposite team so they could be on the same team.

This change has taken all the fun out of Spvp because every match is a blowout, the update might of boosted your below average pvp player base for now but I assure you it will quickly dwindle down to nothing if it keeps going like this.

I’ve ran into the same thing twice now, both times I just sat there saying wtf. I’ll record the next time and see if when it happens if there was an AOE attack there before hand and its just only visually gone. Never thought of that.

I suggest killing the range boss before the melee if you get there

Waiting to see who gets the new dungeon solo first, I didn’t see anything that needed more than 1 person to do it. I can say that the final boss was a pretty easy solo ( my whole team died on phase 1 right off the start, after I finished phase 1 they all spawned and then all died again at start of phase 2)

The only hard part I saw was that the argo was weird, there were adds that weren’t even close together but were tied together. Good luck

well almost every dungeon path has already been solo’d. But I do see your point, I would love a option to do them solo instead of in a group, not because of elitism when joining a group but because I hate getting stuck with people who don’t know the dungeon, so people from both sides would like the solo option.

It would be pretty easy for them to do it too, they would just need to reduce the hp of everything in the dungeon to 20% and that’s it. They already did this with the frog boss in SAB so they obviously have the ability to do it.

I’ve solo’d a few different dungeon/fractal paths and the only problem I’ve ever run into is the fact that it gets so boring and repetitive due to the insane amount of hp you have to go threw while doing them solo. The damage isn’t a problem because of the way the game was built around dodge.

So really just have full hp for 5 people, 80% for 4, 60% for 3 and so on. Problem solved.

Im gonna guess that since you put your server in that you have no idea that server doesn’t matter when doing dungeons, and if you don’t know that then most likely you do not know about gw2lfg.com.

Most people only do path 1, but most also only do a speed run, so do yourself a favour and everyone else for that matter and check out a video or 2 on youtube to see how its done before you go.

Anyways its never taken me anymore than 2 minutes to get a hotw path 1 group going using gw2lfg so your problem is solved.

I like that you knew when to drop banner in Battleground Frac, I died a few times to what i thought was a “random” whirlwind. Makes me wanna start soloing again, got hooked on pvp a couple weeks ago.

Ever since the patch around the 28th or 29th the game has gotten unplayable. Im 100% sure its not my connection, even the forums seem like they are taking longer to connect to where all other sites i visit remain the same.

The loading screens now take 8-10x longer than they use to, even logging in i use to be able to click and play before the 4 second timer was up, now i have to wait for the 4 second timer plus about 20 more seconds.

All other games work find so its obviously a gw2 problem with something that happened during that update, does anyone know of a fix for this? maybe ports that need to be opened or something?

Incase it matters, i live in Canada and im on maguuma server.

Even though its a handycap for GL you pretty much have an advantege on every normal size boss in this game over people who can see right. There is way to many colors and sprites poping off in this game in a group of 5 on a normal sized dungeon boss and 90% of the time i can’t even see the animation.

Most of the time i roll a guard and just the burning from a guard makes it so hard to see any boss animations, ANET tried to go all out and make the game look good but they messed up in my opinion. Sometimes i wish i was colorblind.

Alexander Quess.1932:

Path 3, the mobs are easy but the bosses are insane.
Best tactic for the final boss is to clear out the spiders in front of the boss and range him.

Your a little off, best tactic is to have 4 zerkers and a mes and burn it down before the spiders even get you.

I’ll explain why people want zerker wars in all dungeons now, as the game gets older the players get better. As they get better they are able to dodge the big dmg skills that pose a problem thus allowing them to add more dps into their build. I personally run every dungeon in full zerk on my war.

TA is a prime example, when i first started pugging TA the nightmare vines were such a pain in the kitten for a group of 5, now that i know how they work its an easy solo where little to no dmg is taken at all. so the more dps the faster it goes, the faster it goes the more $$$ u get.

People also kill the vines, drop out and kill again netting 14s and onyx lodes. This could of been what you seen, it usually consists of 4 zerkers and a ranger/engy. This has been around for a long time though.

11:15 stick only starting from the moment i can hit forward to the second the boss death animation starts.

Theres to many factors that go into this to be able to say who is faster than who, obviously slingshot cuts a lot of time, the frog is the killer though, you can cut 15-20 seconds off depending on just the frog alone, maybe even more. Sometimes he just does not allow you to get a crystal right after you jump down. Sometimes he does the big plop right after, sometimes just one of the left or right. Its to random to be able to say.

Im sure if i sat there for 8-10 hours trying over and over i could easly get 10:45, i found 2 spots in 1:1 that i could cut 2-3 seconds off alone, and with the slingshot who knows? under 10:30 for sure.

Im done recording my runs but hopefully this video helps the rest of you out, im sure theres a lot of jumps in there you haven’t seen before. Good luck.

SE story final boss is basically the same thing.

Zone 1 – 2:33

Zone 2 – 3:05

Zone 3 – 4:30 ( im sure i could get this to at least 4:20 if i were to go back and do it, just grabbed this vid off a different run i did for guildy’s)

1up

Obviously not a serious post, calm down bud. Loosen up those panties.

Have them all.

what am i missing, i have all 7 but no achievement

I have – slingshot, bomb, whip, light, digger, breath and pouch.. am i missing something?

Have to add that even though i called the design of waiting for everyone to get to a checkpoint dumb by anet, i think i should say that i loved the less hp on bosses/ less mobs on raft they added when you are by yourself, all dungeons should be like that.

Super Adventure Box solo

Got tired of having to wait for 3-5 people (depending in group size) to show up before moving on, yet another dumb design by anet so if you want your quick dailys heres a vid x2 speed of a 20 minute solo run.

This is a classic case of “im so good give me attention.” I’ll be the first to admit that if your good at this game, no its not hard its extremely easy especially in a group of 5 really good players. But if the OP was one of the top 10% of players who did think that this game/bosses were to easy he wouldn’t of picked 3 lupi as a challenge.

Lupi isn’t in the top 10 of hardest bosses in this game but the op seems to think so making his post look like an obvious cry for attention. If you wanted a real challenge you would of asked for 3 Vevina’s w/agony.

Just another kid who wants the world to know that he solo’d lupi. kinda sad really.

i got back in but my progress was rolled back about 10-15 minutes

Malrona Melee Solo

I had TA up path, was so close. Fyonna reset around 30% after my 4th or 5th try so i rage quit, i’ll upload that later in case anyone wants to see how to get threw it because i won’t be going back to it.

Also im looking for a dungeon guild, the one im in duped me by saying they had tons of dungeon runners but have 0. just saying

been doing this since release. best way to spend coe tokens. $$

thats twice now you’ve posted a comment on a solo of mine saying pretty much the same thing, but i never see you do anything but posting on the forums. you kitten and moan about everything like a 12 year old school girl who just got her cell phone taken away. lvl 1, lvl 9 its pretty much the same.

I don’t see any other cliffisde, grawl or harpy frac solo’s. so quit kittening, everything starts somewheres. Stop being a fatty mad at the world or your going to live the rest of your life doing the same thing, reading these forums all day and kittening about an online game.

Rock that commander tag dungeon master

Finally got it, thx to everyone in the other thread for their idea’s.

Grawl

Snowblind

Cliffside

Uncategorized

Ascalon City

I’ll make a water vid when i feel like swimming around in circles for 20 minutes, if anyone knows of any ways to solo first part of the swamp or the first part of the dredge please pm me, i was leveling a mesmer but was informed that you can no longer blink threw the door to the control pannel? not sure on this one.

Grawl Solo

Snow frac solo – guard

They must of changed the jump from the top and the first mob, threw me off a bit, no more rangers just gs wars. Still easy though. Grawl is getting closer

Wethospu.6437:

Nice one! I guess I have to try on my Warrior but I really doubt.

Tried on my guard today, i imagine you would get stuck on the same part as me. Just not enough time. 3 left 3 times in a row.

People complained, they were unable to use a stability skill or a stun break/dodge so anet changed it. I also enjoyed it and to be honest it wasn’t hard at all. But just like everything else in this game, if the little girls find it to hard, anet will change it.

As for the hard mode idea posted here, That won’t work. Anet will just add tons of hp making this game more kitten boring than it already is. Everything has far to much hp already, can you imagine how long some of the bosses would take? would be so kitten numbing.

Outside of the dungeon with a prompt to join again, when you join you will be back at start of dungeon and will have to run/waypoint back to your group.

As far as pushing the grawl into a corner and hoping he goes for a far away one, its like a 1 in 10 chance, i managed to get him past 50 but it took almost an hour and at around 3gb per 2-3 minutes for hard copy recorded video thats not gonna fly, it would take a very long time. Not to mention i stepped on a rock on the edge which caused him to reset.. twice.

I’ll try a sword/torch next time even though im 99 percent sure that 1 skill = bubble tick. Otherwise secpter 2 would of finished this for me already.

I’m well aware i could solo it with a ranger, its not worth the time to level a ranger though.

randomfightfan.4091:

lol at you guys. Didn’t call anybody out, just told you what you’re telling the community with your msgs. If you don’t like how it sounds, then simply reword your lfg

I put up a post today that said “level 10 daily ping 2 infused rings + infused back piece for invite” it was one of the best 10 daily groups i’ve been in in a long time. Now im not saying you need 30 ar for lvl 10 daily, i didn’t use 30 i used 15 but i wanted to know that the people im playing with went threw enough fractals to have them, i didn’t care if they used them or not. I think i was around 30 when i got my 2 rings and back piece.

As soon as i put this up though two people like yourself started raging calling me a noob because i thought people needed 30 AR for lvl 10 frac’s. This was not the case at all but some people take this kitten so seriously like it is real life… like yourself. People want to play with their own skill level, if you don’t thats ok. Just leave it be and quit crying over it. THIS IS A GAME, THIS IS NOT REAL, PLAY HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY AND DON’T BOTHER WITH PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO PLAY YOUR WAY.

Im sure the people (like myself) who make the posts asking for experienced players only and stuff like that don’t give a kitten about what you do, so stop giving a kitten about what they do and move on with your life.

maybe ring of warding/line of warding works?

The “spin” your refering to only counts for 1 hit. Im looking for ways that i can get all 35 solo. Maybe theres a skill i don’t know about that triggers a hit, or a sigil or set of runes? anything?

Yet another one of these, it comes down to personal preference. I do cof p1 farm maybe once every couple weeks, but when i do i want 4 good zerkers and a good mes. When i make a group for a dungeon that i want to speed threw, i put “no rangers, be experienced please” because i don’t want to play with someone who is going to slow down the run.

I enjoy playing with people of the same skill level, you obviously don’t. Two different people with two different outlooks on the situation. But for you to come say people who post no noob are in fact noobs it makes you look dumb. Not everyone is going to think the way you think, not everyone is going to play the way you want to play. So get over it, stop these dumb kittening posts and don’t join their kittening group, just ignore it and move on.

You kinda contradicted yourself in this post. You said it yourself, when your in a party with 2 rangers and a necro you dread whats coming next, you don’t mind dealing with it but others do mind and don’t want to waste their time. So just let it be, do your own groups and stop making random posts about bullkitten thats just gonna start an argument over and online game thats not real life !

Wondering if anyone has any idea’s, i’ve managed to hit him 35 times once but just barely, i’ve also tried adding the sword/hammer but it looks like their attacks don’t reduce the bubble count. Anyone know of any guard skills maybe on a different weapon that will help?

No more crying on soloable paths please

Every fractal bar a few with events that prevent it (like Swamp or Dredge) is soloable at the pathetic level 1 difficulty. Seriously, try the water fractal or the ascalon fractal; they’re even easier.

However, your argument is rife with logical fallacies; just because you can solo a fractal on the lowest possible difficulty neither means the fractal is appropriately designed or worth the time investment. What this fractal needs is loot being dropped in the events, and if Rob thinks that’s unreasonable, then a change in the events such that it is reasonable. Seriously, it’s important to justifying the time investment.

Woah there big fella, looks to me like you tried to use me as an excuse to rage about how you feel that your not getting the pixels you deserve, you know that this game isn’t real right? and that those drops you want so bad will not go towards anything you want in life? unless your sellng gold, but a job at subway pays more then you’ll ever make playing gw, unless you live in china of course.

I don’t see a problem with the drops, the problem is that the bosses have FAR to much hp in the game causing things to take to long. So what if you don’t get a rare every chest, get over it homie

But back to the point that the op was posting about, i posted the solo to show him that difficulty depends on the players and not the game. This game is extremely easy for some and really hard for others. If your in a group with a war that has 5 signets in the party interface, or you have 2 nec’s 2 rangers and a engy as a party then maybe you should back out and grab another group.

If you join a group where no one is using food, or if someone is stacking magic find then this is a good indication that you should back out. If you feel like your better than everyone else in the group then back out, also don’t be afraid to kick people if their not up to standards, thats what the kick option is for.

You fail to see why people don’t want rangers in their group, of all the classes, they are the worst. Theres no way around it. They don’t bring anything to the table when it comes to HELPING the group.

No one is saying that rangers can’t do dungeons, they are saying that a different class like a guardian in the same hands is going to be better than a ranger hands down every time.

I did Hotw story last night with a ranger in my group, he had full MF gear and stood in the back auto attacking, he did nothing to help the group as far as boons, or dps or kiting but he made it threw.

The dungeons are easy as most have been solo’d already, but people like going as fast as possible and as easy as possible, you can’t do either with a ranger in your group because there not good at anything. Sorry boss.

Just to make you feel better i just recorded this.

No more crying on soloable paths please

Cliffside Frac Tier 1

I wasn’t going to even try this, didn’t think i could do it but i saw a post in the dungeons section where some kid was crying that it was to hard in a group of 5. Hope he thinks otherwise now.

Hotw p1 Guard solo

This took me almost 2 hours! so the middle of the last 2 boss fights were taken out to numb the bordum.

One thing i have to say is that Wethospu you are an amazing player, i consider myself far better than 99 percent of people who play this game and your about 10 levels above me. I try and do the things you do but with a guard and prot and still can’t do them, granted some of the solo vids you have done were before the food proc nerf but it doesn’t take away from the fact that you can dodge every attack from every boss over and over.

I don’t think people realize how good you actually are at this. They all need to try some of these solo’s and see.

Pro tip – condtion removal
Pro tip – guard/war with soldier runes
Pro tip – sigil of generosity

want more?

I think its kind of dumb that this was moved into this thread, it obviously has everything to do with dungeons. Strife’s/DNT’s Dungeon video guides are sticky’d in the dungeon section, this is no different than those just solo video’s.

I don’t think its a big secret that your (anet) strongly against anything in the game being solo’d but please stop trying to hide it from the public until your next anti solo update comes out.

Grounder.7381:

fractal should be included in one of these dungeon runs..
do want to see a video of fotm lvl 30+ solo ..
if that is remotely possible that is..

Harpy Fractal solo (war)

Ascalon fractal solo (war)

the problem with fractals is that they were put together so fast that they still have problems that are out of the users control, mostly the bosses reset in weird ways.

ex: the final boss of the underwater fractal resets if it eats you making this fight such a rage quit fight.

If Wethospu says he’ll add them i’ll take the time to make some new vids of the ascalon/harpy fractals plus i’ll do the snow, underwater and maybe grawl, grawl would depend on if i could do it with ranger because i couldn’t do it with guard or war.

You missed the most basic of all things, the thing that will save you over and over no matter whats going on.

If you strife left to right a certain way at around 1200 the agony attack will not hit you, just like 90% of every range projectile attack from bosses. In the case of the grawl you do this and then when he drops the aoe on you instead of the agony dart you just dodge out and strife left to right again.

Se Path 1 guard solo

This was my first try so some parts are a little sketchy, i don’t know all the safe spots on the bridge but figured out a different way to do it towards the end. The fact that you solo’d the third golem and tazza okittenerker war is amazing, took me until 25% health to figure the golem out and i still can’t find a pattern in tazza, seems like the push/gs toss skills are completely random.

I spazzed and clicked the record button and turned off a little of it but got it back on for the end.

Put aside the the party leader leaving party and the dungeons ending, put aside the lack of lfg tool and put aside the DUMB way you have to invite the first member of a party instead of him/her trying to just join your group (which makes making a group such a headache because 90% of the people in the game don’t know this)

I can’t deal with all the group bs so i enjoy solo’s, this game is very very heavy on the anti solo’s but i enjoy it, but i ran into yet another party/group problem even when im in a solo dungeon, some random person invited me to a party then left and kicked me out of the dungeon. Why put this in the game? there is no kittening reason for it.

It was no one on my friends list so its obviously some kitten reading the forums that knows about it and saw me post a solo video so he’s doing it for kicks. I understand that this game is still in beta but please add this to the “we’ll update 6 months from now pile”

Video of what happened
