I’ve read through some of this, but not all of it. I’m probably going to say something similar to someone else, but whatever.
This dungeon is still very doable, but anyone who says that it’s easier is just plain wrong. I liked AC before because I thought it was fun to run through it with people who were less than level 80. It was pretty cool to see that as long as people listened, it could be done. Now, even when I’m in groups that are all level 80 with exotic gear, and where everyone is following along with a strategy, it seems to take a minimum of an hour. Usually, it takes more than an hour. In a week, I’m pretty sure an average group of level 80s could have it down to about an hour, and a good one could do it in less.
That being said, why would anyone bother doing AC anymore when you can do something like CoF P1 and P2 in 20 minutes each, even if you completely suck? CoF was already easier than AC. These changes are legitimately confusing, and I think they were very bad decisions on ANet’s part. Not everyone always feels like spending longer forming a group than actually doing something with one.
