I'm just going to leave these here.

I want nightmare armor, actually I want the stats from the Orrian... no one seems to run that in guild
Orrian is great gear. I would love to get that, but I want to do the story modes for the remaining dungeons first.
even if it didn't have those it would be shit loads of farming. semantics, you're farming to expend those resources in gw, with tf the only extra time you spent was on the quest itself which was negligible

Actually runs well for me. Mind you, it ran 20-40fps on everything low (except shaders) on bootcamp, it is about the same with the mac version for me. Maybe less, but not terrible. I haven't had a chance to play in wvw with the mac client, but it was playable in bootcamp.
I will take the ability to play when I want without rebooting over having to have a full partition (on my 120gb ssd) for an os I only use sparingly.
I do have to say, trying AC story mode has been a JOY so far, ended up with a group in which we cleared two of the lieutenants before one of the players decided to randomly drop out, making it impossible for us to go any further. Hopefully I make it into the GAF Overflow Guild as I no longer qualify for the regular Guild (I think my achievement level is sitting at 254 right now, so I'm under the limit and therefore was booted), I need some peeps to help me knock this out soon. In the meantime, just finished up exploring Lornar's Pass. The last Undiscovered Vista with all of the Ettins and Owl Griffins can go fornicate themselves with an iron stick.
In CoF's case, it wasn't purely cosmetic gear; the heavy armor had power/precision/critical damage which was what I wanted on my warrior. Only thing it had lacking was a good set of superior runes which cost me about 3 gold to replace, all funded by CoF. It was basically a free level 80 set that I could start assembling from level 75. It beats doing Orr zerg groups since those depend on there being a zerg around and is limited by the anti-farming karma system.
On my Guardian, my first 80, I did 0 explorable modes and got all my exotics from the TP and one piece from karma vendors. My second 80 is geared solelyfrom CoF. I can say that the karma and dungeon method of gearing up is no fun. TP depends on how you make your gold.
I'd love to see EX bosses always drop something interesting or unique; it would the running of dungeons itself a bit more interesting than right now where I'm picking up junk bone items from bosses and level 78 blues in a level 80 EX dungeon.
Only way I did CoE Ex last night was having the two people I found at CoE each drag one guildmate with them. Place was a ghost town.
Just message one of the officers in game and they should get you back into the guild. The intention was to trim some of the players who basically quit the game after the first week (since our guild has been full since like day 2), but it seems a few people have been kicked in error. It wasn't anything personal, and there isn't a requirement that "you must be at least this hardcore to play in our guild."
It sucks you got kicked, but at least it should be easy to resolve.
Ya, I know. A lot of the game feels this way tho, not only the dungeons, but even the guild only runs AC ex or CoF all the time. It has to do with game balance and rewards too I guess.
I want a little bit of each dungeon, but I'm not the type of person with the patience to be LFG in an area for more than 10 minutes. Hopefully they do something about this soon.

I'm pretty sure it also has to do with the fact that a LOT of people in the guild aren't high enough level yet, or haven't done the dungeons in sequential order yet. Not everyone has the time to play all the content the game has to offer in a single month.

why cant we dye weapons like first game ?
There's 3 different sets per dungeon stat wise. CoF, CoE and Arah all have that stat allocation.
Gross.
I don't know. Either they didn't build the missions around the fact that the player is generally solo in these missions, or they assumed the NPC AI would be much less dumb than it is. Either way they definitely didn't playtest them enough.
Only the leader has to have done story mode.
I don't know how the diminishing returns work since I finished my set before the patch.

I run AC because of the ghastly weapon. I like the weapon skin, so I am grinding to get it. The gold is bonus, the exp is uselses. If I want easy gold and exp, i would of join CoF runs when guildies are asking instead of trying to form my own group.
uh..what?
Berserker's gear. It's on the AH. Anything that earns you money (which is anything) will get it for you. You would have afforded it from gold from those instance runs long before you'd have finished the set, so don't sweat that part.
Trading post. Two options: Berserker's Draconics which do not come with a rune and the Berserker set of Balthazar (?) that does come with a rune. Latter is usually more expensive (and uglier, IMO). For heavy armor, BTW.
I'm just trying to answer the question of why those people, whether they are in the guild or not, are running AC and CoF almost exclusively and why there are very few groups for the rest.
I'm not trying to guilt anyone into running content they don't want, or trying to point fingers. I also want a ghastly weapon of my own and am only halfway there, together with a helm from CM set, and other stuff from other dungeons. I don't think it's due to the required level either, that's all. Plenty of Lvl 80s to go around. Some content is just more attractive for folks than other and that is something that ANET should fix, not something that the guild should do anything about.
The dungeon limits don't really sound that bad. The real issue is the token cost. Right now, the cost of everything, including things other than dungeon gear, is rather high. Only Trading Post stuff is quickly attainable. Cultural Armor is highly costly for simple rare quality sets. If they bring the token and karma cost in line, then the change to speed running the same mode won't be as big a deal.
Heck, I like the look of Pearl Greatswords more than many of the dungeon Greatswords, so that's what I'll be getting first for my Mesmer.
I would like there to be one type of token instead of different tokens for each dungeon, and that they allow you to run the dungeons you want and like to run in order to assemble the look you want to make.
Also, the comparison of the carrot-on-a-stick race to legendaries is a new low for this thread.

Except with the Dolyak nerfs, it's kinda hard earning cash in WvW unless they're a lot of trading back and forth of keeps. Which seems to be happening less now t hat things are so fortified.
But it does mean that WvW tokens are pretty much fucking worthless which is stupid.

Dang, wish I wouldn't have wasted three skill points on Prayer to Dwayna. It's inferior to Heal as One in every way. Longer cooldown, less healing, can't be used underwater, and doesn't heal my pet. -_-
If you make a Warrior character then that character will always be a Warrior.
Is that what you mean? You can't respec the character into another class, but just retrait the character towards other purposes.
I think Warriors are up there with the highest DPS.

Im only lvl 42ish but i put my thief as a acrobatic & shadow arts build and its way easier to PVE than my crit and power build. Healing whenever you use a skill that use initiative, signet of malice for healing, its a power health leeching blender.
I tried a build like that in sPvP. Nothing but on hit healing stuff, life leech on crit signet, and wearing +healing gear. Using pistol/pistol, 2 uses of 3 would full heal you.
Highest DPS, from what I've seen, isn't that important and not as easy to tell. Since you don't get to stand still and churn out your hardest hitting abilities that often, DPS depends on situations and your ability to adapt. You may have a build that does a ton of condition damage and then face a boss that cleanses conditions and heals for every condition cleansed. You may then have to change to a lower blank-state damage build, but gain in effectiveness.
It's funny because CoE story mode and teleport path both have a similar Door Buster event but are still on a short timer.
Also, the final boss not being threatening is far better than the CoE boss where you spend 30 minutes just running away from red circles because that's threatening and fun. You also get to do it 3 times and the rooms get smaller and smaller. :I
Concerning dungeon tokens and grinding, I just posted this on the official forums
Exchanging one dungeon token for another by way of the mystic forge
https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/for...-token-for-another-by-way-of-the-Mystic-Forge
Thats right, i quoted myself
Personally, I am only going for the CoE chest and gloves and the SE rifle. A whole set of something just seems like way too much dungeon running, and i have no interest in doing that.

Never heard of them dropping so I doubt it.
Actually, the legendary base weapons are exotics and can be dropped, right?
grind GW1 and get the Fellblade HoM
Class: Yes
Crafting: No
I got the Fellblade HoM, but it doesn't look as good as the GW1 version. It's just a rather boring, black blade with a tidge of aura to it that is mostly unnoticeable. I was hoping for a big, shiny obsidian looking blade like the original.

This post better include a new ranking system, rated tournaments, and a new mode.
Also, I wish more of the WvWvW talk on the forums and guru forums were about improving the WvW game and fixing some of the inherit issues it has rather than flame wars and cross-world alliance conspiracies.
