Healing D/D Ele. Somehow I still manage to kill ppl in pvp.
The reason players will craft these items is for the prestige. The stats gain is minimal. Simply using exotics is enough. Yet players will rush to craft the new items so they can walk around showing off their time consuming, overly priced, goodies.
Never thought we would see a response from a dev. At least someone is reading. We look forward to changes in dungeons in general. To all the posters, we accomplished something we thought wasn’t possible so I beg you!!! Stop Ben Affleck from being Batman!!!
I have also heard (but not proven) that if you wait in LA the message for which map is next pops sooner then when your anywhere else. My guild members were always getting into then zone and not getting stuck in overflows.
Easier solo. You skip a lot of content and the boss fights are extremely easy.
Once you have completed the achievements for Vorpp you can enter with any character.
You cant access the event after ten minutes.
They don’t come onto the dungeon forums but yeah, new fractals coming.
I think there is more to fractals. You will see. I love how T6 materials are coming down in price. I too am working on sunrise and the lodestones are all I need. Since they were going for 2.8g before the living story stuff kicked inand now is around 2.2g. I only have 2 >:(
Lets just pretend TA F/U was never mentioned. On to the original post. Grawl fractal is easy. If you kill the grawl fast enough then you dont need to worry about them spawning on top of each other. boulders are boulders, they will crush you.
I think Anet has big plans for fractals. It may not be the hardest end game content but I see them using the experiences from all these living world instances as a learning curve. I expect that the bosses we fight in the new fractals will be more challenging then Lupi ever was. Trollers, expect to see the complaints flow for fractals once again!
Anet has decided to make it easier to beat this boss. There will be a chain to pull when entering the area. A cinematic will kick in showing the shocked expression of a cow and the camera angle backs in time for us to see the cow fall from the sky and crush the tree. Then the fight begins. We are left with just some kitten ed off spiders and we can only use the broken limbs from the tree to kill them. (since your ever so sharp swords and axes can’t hurt the mad spiders).
Can YOU defeat the angry arachnids!
Even though the playhouse suggests a five man team I strongly advise trying it solo first. I made it to the end without getting downed and it only took a few tries to finish her off. The instance will scale when you add 4 more people to your group.
Nobody should be complaining about how quickly bosses go down. The event is not suppose to be zerg friendly. If you want to continue to fail at this just keep running in a group with 200 other ppl. They did give scarlet more HP but you still need to waypoint to her position quickly to get a couple of shots in. Its way too early to be complaining about this event. Most posts, players don’t even know what they are doing and still comment. Patience and practice.
On jade quarry, we never have a problem finishing these maps. With 15 mins to spare. Just takes time for people to realize they need to spread out and follow what is listed to be attacked next.
Ahhh, Bright. You just had to do it didn’t you.
They will never make fractals account bound. If you want to have multiple characters at lvl 48 then you have to put in the time. It’s really not even necessary. You can suit your alts with rings and a backpiece from fractals to give them AR then use them periodically to help complete the fractal areas where those alts would thrive. Just make sure you finish the maw with the right character for rewards. I can go into a fractal 48, get to maw with an alt who doesn’t have any fractal lvls, then switch back to my reg and finish for the full rewards.
3rd messed up dungeon I run today was in TA F/U or P3 where the
Please don’t.
Just don’t post the 40 or so other threads on this issue. It’s annoying.
Are you picking up what Im putting down?
The event lasts a few weeks. Players will drop from doing this every day. I say after 5 or six days it will be much easier to get in, players will have loads of experience completing it and any fixes would already be implemented.
Did Rage quit? <——did u see what i did there? Nothing wrong with this boss. Its another L2P as stated in about 30 other threads. It is only difficult when you don’t know what your doing. Any one of these Hijackers in this thread would love to have you tag along in a group with them so they can show you how its done Rage.
mmm…… Probably not
Or play in the pavilion. After an hour I had 10 tickets. Currently at 38 and haven’t bothered with the gauntlet as of yet.
Just park your butt in the pavilion.
I made 30g pure gold from dungeons today. I get a lot more gold than before. This update is causing an inflation and not preventing it.
Yes, and you made it by doing a lot of different dungeon paths, probably taking you a little while to do. Most PUGs can’t do that many dungeon paths in so little time to make 30g, whereas they used to be able to just farm CoF p1 for 3 hours and make that amount of money.
The update has made it possible for the good players to make more money than the average player, as it’s supposed to be. Those who can clear a lot of dungeon paths in little time make a decent amount of cash. PUGs that take 30-40mins / dungeon path are making some money, but a lot less. So a handful of good players are making decent bank, and the gross of the population is making “meh” bank, meaning that inflation has been sort of countered, because it used to be “everyone is making buckets of cash, regardless of experience or skill”.
Those players that group together to complete dungeons quicker probably spend a lot of time playing this game and should be rewarded for the time they have dedicated to it. I don’t see why players who have little time to play this game deserve more rewards. If your looking to bank lots of gold then put the time in like everyone else. Eventually you will find the right group of players and you will be the one running 30+ gold in a short period of time. Personally I don’t think its ever been “everyones making buckets of cash”. It takes time and research. Sometimes just watching a few dungeon videos posted by other players will speed up your own completion time. It all depends on how much time your willing to play this game.
Inflation affects the entire economy, not just select individual markets. Prices in individual markets fluctuate all the time based on supply and demand.
Generating more lodestones does not create any new gold (unless you decided to vendor them) and thus does not cause inflation. It does impact supply though which can cause the price to go down.
All of the T6 materials are tanking in price because the supply has soared due to the new Champion loot mechanics (and the Gauntlet). Farming resources allows you to trade them for gold, but it does not create gold (again, unless you vendor them).
So what has inflated in price that players who don’t have the money can no longer purchase anything? All I see is items dropping in price. As players scramble to build the legendaries to sell, they too will be cheaper since the costs to make them would have been cheaper then the past 5 months. Costs will drop considerably once players farm multiple dungeons instead of just Cof 1. All those extra drops that get sold to the TP from areas barely farmed. I don’t see the problem with balancing that out by adding the additional reward of gold at the end.
Back to the original post. If ppl are going to rate each class for how much damage they can do then they should not include buffs or stacks from other players. If you need a FGS from an ele to get max DPS then you shouldn’t be listed higher for instance. What classes have the best DPS regardless of what other classes can bring to the table.
Yet charged lodestones were just under 3g before this was released and now they are closer to 2.4g. I need these to craft Sunrise. 100 to be exact. Not only are the stones falling in price so are T6 crafting materials. I think your wrong when you talk about inflation. Personally I think Anet wants the prices cheap for T6 materials since they want to move crafting up to 500. I welcome the overpopulation of crafting materials. They are essential for trade and keeping costs low for those of us who are still pursuing legendaries.
Just a heads up. Currently inside the pavilion in divinitys reach groups are farming the bosses. I played for 2 hours and netted 20g. While waiting for bosses to pop I grouped ppl for farming destroyers which netted me 6 lodestones. Not to mention all the achievement points you gather while playing…..This content might be temporary but with all the T6 crafting material dropping like candy Im gonna gather as much as possible.
level 20+ weapon skins drop which is the main reason most people run.
5-10% chance 20-28
10-15% chance 30-38%
15- 20% chance 40-48%
etc etc
I can tell you from experience that these percentages are not even close to accurate. Its best just to say that the higher you go the better chance you have.
Its suppose to be end game content. After doing it so many times you end up finding it easier then Arah.
After patch its easy. Now nobody should complain.
@zerotwo, well if you didnt kill 50 then you really didnt complete it did you. You stood in the back and hacked the event like every other player myself included (I did it for both evon and kiel). And for your troubles you got a bunch of broken lockpicks, YAY.
You obviously didnt have too much fun if you didnt go back and try to really finish it. Part of that is becuase the really failed at that content. They should have given you a little something more than broken lockpicks the further along you got. That event was all or nothing and thats part of the problem. I sure as hell didnt go back after I got the achievments.
I personally have a warrior a fractal level 22 and a guard at fractal level 18. I stopped leveling the warrior because I plan on taking the guardian to the higher levels as they seem to be more needed. I wont be taking him passed level 26 though as there is no point. The mechanics dont change after level 20. They only make the enimies artificially tougher by giving them more HP and have them hit harder. If you think that is a real challenge then you should try playing other games that actually have AI like half life 2. Also the rewards for fractals dont get any better after 26. I know they say they are supposed to scale but they are full of it.
So seriously, whats the point in getting to level 48 in fractals. The challenge and the rewards are the same.
So you didn’t properly read my post instead you ranted. I was clear that I completed the T4 levels AFTER THE PATCH! You could not stand in the back as you did. Which then means that it was challenging and there for…..fun. We reached 38 kills if I recall. Half life 2 was extremely easy and boring. It only offered an awesome engine ahead of its time. The purpose of playing beyond 26 in fractals is to have a greater chance at a fractal skin as well as maxing the current level in preparation of new content or proper reward scaling. I don’t have a problem with GW 2. Perhaps it is you that should play something you may better enjoy then this game. I tip my hat to Anet for harder content and look forward to when they can properly scale the reward system.
@zerotwo, Let me ask you a question. Did you complete the T4 candidate trials in a group of 5? And by complete I mean did you kill 50 Aetherblade pirates in a group of 5 (ill even accept it if you killed 50 of the solo and give you an internet high 5)? And if you did, did you find it fun?
Your right there is a demand for challenging content that requires skill and knowledge of the game mechanics. But so far what weve been handed is crap. And it sounds like you and a couple other people on this board want more fun cosmetic skins gated with crap.
The T4 candidate trials were tested before release as stated by devs. Also stated was how difficult they were going to be. I completed the challenge after the first patch with 5 players. No we did not kill 50 nor did I want to bother trying. Some players tried and I applaud them if they succeeded. I found it very challenging which for me is fun.
Why do you think what you have been given is crap? Have you reached lvl 48 and above in fractals? This is suppose to be end game content which is clear to everyone it is not that difficult. We need content that is next to impossible to challenge us once our characters reach 80. Personally, I don’t care what rewards they give provided they are scaled to the difficulty. In the past Anet has had trouble with that.
To get the Liadri mini you just have to defeat the final boss of Queen’s Gauntlet. You don’t have to have five gambits active.
Regardless why do you keep releasing one time temporary content that is hard that has achievements tied to it :[? You have not responded on this issue yet that I have seen and I know others feel the same as I do.
I was playing this game casually now I have to go hardcore to meet the deadline.
Not all content is released with the “part time” player in mind. Their is a demand for more challenging instances and battles. Hard core players put the time and money into this game and should be rewarded with more difficult game play. The temporary content on a whole is very easy. Even if you do not complete every achievement your still rewarded. Anet is trying to appease all players but I guess some people just feel left out.
Pugging at 48 is easier then pugging at low levels. I have yet to fail at a 48 run.
It’s not about completing but about using a brain.
Umm, what? At higher levels it requires your brain to complete them. Not sure where your going with your response. Those that fail fall out of coordination or need to watch a few more videos to get the tactics down. Lets be honest, a good player re skills depending on the fractal they get. At higher levels it is very rare not to see another player reset skills. That is a good indication the run will be successful.
When the new fractal is released their will be a large influx of players looking to do fractals.
Im with Cogeco cable. I have a flawless connection in Hamilton.
Since the last patch I only get sound effects on the right side of my headset. All other sounds are currently in surround. Its very annoying since all the attacking and waypoint sounds etc are playing to one side. I have tried re installing drivers plugging into different usb and playing with the sound options in game to no avail. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Im fine with them not being added. It does take a long time to pile up 250 pristine relics. I am currently around 100. I think its such a waste when you think of the time invested into that many relics and I don’t need any more rings.
Don’t you think they should have other uses? Even the tokens from dungeons can be used for multiple items. Why have pristine relics on end game content and not have multiple uses? I just hope they add to it when they add the new fractals.
Ive been known to drop bosses with just a stare. 0.0——-
So my zerk gear should be a welcomed addition to a pug group.
Where are these going? What good are they besides the purchase of rings. Does Anet have a plan or are the pristine relics going to become obsolete.
I realize this topic has been posted before, my concern is that Anet has looked into making drastic changes to this game in the up coming patch and I want a response on this topic for once!
Pugging at 48 is easier then pugging at low levels. I have yet to fail at a 48 run.
I still feel bosses lack unpredictability. Granted you want to learn the fights to make them easier but I feel the bosses should also learn. For instance, a team stacks for DPS and that could trigger a boss attack to separate the players. If the devs could have programmed responses to the methods we use it would always be a challenge and players wouldn’t post a vid since it could be different the next time they fight that boss. Perhaps it’s not possible but we can dream.
Everyone has to experience the boss battles the same way. IF you haven’t learned by now how to avoid attacks your best to group up with players who don’t mind picking you up all the time. This is clearly L2P. From the long posts provided the OP has an understanding of the boss battles but I don’t agree anet should make changes to the way bosses telegraph attacks. MHO, bosses should have totally random attacks that are not telegraphed or next to impossible to see coming. That would make boss fights much more difficult and we wouldn’t see anyone posting solo vids of how cool they are dishing and dodging. The fights would totally weigh heavily on how well a group of players play together.
I completed levels 20-30 with 15 AR. I don’t think it is possible to get to level 30 without scoring at least one infused ring. If you are concerned or can’t seem to avoid the agony attacks then repeat the lower levels until you have enough relics for the back piece.
I can dodge Arches spin attack. You have a small window to avoid it but it is not impossible.
20-30 is where you want to play at. Scoring infused rings and crystallized mist essence at those lvls. Go to 48 for skins.
I had the same problem. The bucket animation would work but there was no interact symbol to dump. We reset and that seemed to fix it.
