Guild Wars 2

Is there anyone I can friend do some quests with? I'm lvl9 at the moment I haven't had much time to play since release but I'm off work for a while.

Would be great if I could quest with someone or just chat with some OcUK'ers :)

I'm not playing that often at the mo (away for work a lot) but drop your tag in here and I'll look out for you. I need to clear low level zones for 100% so I'll be happy to tag along.
 
New gear tier. "Ascended". Sits between Exotic and Legendary. Has 'infusion' slots which work much like infusing your armour did in GW1.

New dungeon will have enemies in it that cast 'Agony' which will tear through people without infused armour.

Need for infused gear will increase the further you progress into the dungeon. So you might be able to clear the first area. But to get further you're going to need at least some Agony protection. Then again to progress past that you'll need even more etc.

Stat wise Ascended gear is slightly better than Exotic gear, and is the only gear with infusion slots.

I'd imagine it'll be implemented like the current dungeon armour sets.

Say the dungeon is 4 levels.

You can do the first level with normal gear, and for doing so you get 60 tokens.

To do the 2nd level you'll need at least 1 piece of ascended gear, to get the ascended amulet you might need to get 210 tokens. So you'd have to do level one 4 times to get the tokens to get the amulet to progress to level 2.

To get to level 3 might require 3 ascended items, so you'd have to run a bunch of level 1 and level 2 to get the tokens to afford 2 ascended rings letting you access level 3.

Then to do the final stage of the dungeon you might need 5 ascended items, amulet, 2rings, and 2 earings etc.

So, you don't have to go out and get a specific set just for this dungeon, but by playing hte dungeon you earn the items you need to progress further, and also items that are better than you currently have.


It might not work like that, but to me that seems the most sensible way of implementing it.

Those that didn't want to do the dungeon never have to go there or get ascended gear, and it'd make ascended stuff soulbound so you couldn't sell them on and tank exotic prices.
 
WvWvW is really hotting up - Deso won last weeks T1 match despite being attacked 2v1 by Visnuah the other french server. We're are now getting hammered by Blacktide and it's Russian super alliance. Having mad fun holding out against better organised opponents :D

Yep, which failed misserably and helped the downfall of the game as lots of people left.

The main problem that most people see (check forums) is that their putting grinding in for best armour to enter the dungeon, this is total opposite to what they advertised the game as originally.
 
I don't mind the new armour, I like having something to aim for and give a sense of progression. And people can still do some of the dungeon, it just gets progressively harder the further in you go and so people who don't get some of the new items will have issues, but hopefully if they do it right you should be able to get some armor parts through the easy areas of the dungeon to prepare you for the tougher areas without much grinding.

I'd be quite happy with the new armour if:

A, the dungeon isn't a bore fest with trash mobs with stupidily high health
B, the drops are regular and class specific, I've done 2 dungeons both times the drops were blue/greens that I couldn't use.

If its genuinely a fun dungeon, where I'm happy to keep entering etc, then np hehe :)
 
I tried to play this again over the weekend after reading some of the new stuff that is going to be added. It was going ok at first, but now i just cant be bothered with it.

I set my self up some goals to get a skin set i wanted from SE, the dungeons are very doable in most pugs at a reasonable speed to.

The thing that makes it a HUGE grind for me is trying to find people when i want to play, it feels like a luck of the draw when i log in if i find people wanting to do the same dungeon.

I know there are a lot of people who want to do dungeons, but they are not always in Lions Arch. I really wish Anet would create some sort of world wide dungeon tool that requires you to be social to use it, like a world wide lfg channel or a notice board implemented into the UI so you can post your lfg needs on it.

/rant :p
