As things currently stand in the vote. If team Caed loses, everyone will be getting 500 extra rank pts per win for the weekend. That everyone includes the players on team Caed. Try your hardest…
It’s not gone yet. Will be in the March 18th build, though. You still have a little under 2 weeks to use it up!
Allie, can you confirm one thing. I thought ANET was removing the ability to get NEW glory, but that the glory vendor would still be around for awhile. Is that correct?

This link makes it pretty clear (3mins20+) that gaining glory is being removed but that you can still spend it afterwards. One of the devs is mistaken, probably the one pasting the link and talking in this thread.
Ticket #362553 for user hobb.4753 has not been replied to in 5 days now. Thanks.
Wasn’t there a whole thread on this forum asking for feedback on this specific fractal? Why wasn’t there a moratorium on constantly increasing the length of this fractal, when everyone knows it was too long.
Yet the only changes this fractal EVER gets are to lengthen in. No dying on the pads, skipping entrance, adding more and more dredge and adding dredge popups that sometimes seem horribly broken (bomb path).
Someone thought all these changes were good ideas and yet no one has ever tried to make this fractal anywhere in line with the others. Very odd decision making.
Edit: I’m from the UK. Also, these forums are much slower tonight – coincidental?
Also from the UK, horrendous lag each time I’ve tried for last few hours. Also, points to level3 which is hop 6 onwards and where the packetloss starts.

I hope not,, seeing as it will take 100,000 candy corn and 400 inventory spaces just to get the cobs.
The patch notes say 10 cobs at 1000 each for 10,000 candy corn? I could see it being 100,000 given that it is 25,000 plastic fangs/nougat/skulls stands though but not according to the patch notes?
I don’t get the issue.
Look at the extreme example. Who is going to run Arah4 for 20 tokens and no gold reward? Eg: no bonus chest at all. I would suggest few people are going to do this.
At this end of the scale it becomes blatantly clear that the bonus chest is not a bonus chest at all and is really part of the standard reward that the vast majority of people in the game will still turn their nose up at every day.
Now take a look at the rewards as a whole and ask yourself how much thought was put into them?
Making an alt and getting it to 80 and gearing it up is something everyone can do and it’s what you had to do before to earn fairly standard rewards. You did have to spend time and effort doing this. Or you could run cof1 over and over and not bother to play alts and still actually make more money.
Aside from these things there is a consistency issue. People are making more from farming certain events continually than even the bonus rate of rewards from dungeons.
Also didn’t the Aetherblade retreat have a reward with no DR at all? No DR at all seems fine if you put some actual thought into the rewards.
While not strictly about tokens, the current solution is clearly not perfect and it’s obvious to anyone who has looked at the distribution of the rewards per path that not much thought was put into it.
The main gripe I have is that previously I could ask my guild if anyone wanted to run a dungeon and get something going. The main dungeon runners have alts, so we are easy with going with whatever dungeon is suggested/requested.
Now that there is a disincentive to repeat a dungeon I’m seeing dungeon parties not fill from within the guild because people who would normally join on an alt (myself included), no longer want to because they ran it earlier.
Same here, Euro playing on Maguuma (NA). Seems to have gotten much worse recently, with my party members culling out of existence in LA/dungeons/fractals.
I too am a European, playing on Maguuma (NA) and I am cursed in all these same ways.
So today I can’t even get into COF. Full party that we’ve had four of the five try opening/guesting. Completely destroying the party and starting over. When we do get a prompt, it doesn’t work for anyone.
Party members that cull/move far enough away in fireheart rise become blacked out portraits in the party. Not good.
As mentioned, it can usually be fixed by leaving and rejoining the party. However sometimes someone gets put in a “bugged slot”. Say there are three people in the party, the bugged person won’t see anyone else who joins. So the 4th member joins the party and the bugged person leaves and rejoins. Then the 5th member joins and that bugged person will have to leave/rejoin yet again. Now the party is full it can become even more fun for the bugged person. People might leave after a dungeon and still show in the party. They might get replaced and it still shows the previous person. Etc. Basically this party will never work properly for that person no matter what they do, leave/rejoin/relog/delete their local.dat. It will appear to work until any changes are made to the party composition/popups are hit or miss.
Additionally sometimes you can get in your own dungeon that people can’t join, or you get your own different instance to the one the other people are in. When this happens you have to destroy the instance because it becomes super permanent. You can usually do this by logging a different character. Fractals seems a bit more difficult. Sometimes, you get this permanent different fractal and you have to:
1. Leave Lion’s Arch.
2. Guest.
3. Walk back into Lion’s Arch while still guesting and hope the new party prompt works.
It has actually gotten worse today. Portraits have started going black as I move away from the party members on the map.
Would be really nice if someone could actually look into fixing this.
