Sooo then it works exactly like the patch notes say? o.O

Did new dungeon twice now and I find it very satisfying. First with friends without too much trouble, second with a pug. Took several(5?) tries to get the last boss down, which is the level of difficulty I'd expect in a decent pug. Good stuff. I think I liked the bosses in Molten Facility better than these even though it was easier, just because of how crazzzzay it was. These mechanics seem tuned much better but are also a tad less dynamic. Still good.

Hope they apply what they've learned thus far to permanent dungeons in the future. Currently i despise doing dungeons.

**Kiarax** · 2013-06-26 10:35

They mentioned wanting to adjust the old perma dungeons via the living story rather than just changing it up randomly like AC, so it's obviously still something they want to rework. New AC still isn't very good though IMO so I hope we see bigger changes elsewhere than we got there.

Correct. Except that it is pants on fire retarded that if you are standing on a loot bag and there is another one next to you, the aoe loot doesn't work because the game says 'there is loot here'.

Speed run achieve is reasonably difficult. Thought we finally got it, but didn't know it had to be on your first attempt (wiped intentionally a few times when we knew it was too long). I like that it's a speed run achievement not based on DPS, but rather your ability to survive while face tanking crazy amounts of damage.

Reminds me of that Golem in SF storymode before they nerfed it. Needed crazy rotations for condition removal just to get past the fire phase. Pretty much the same thing except for the entire fight this time, and needs to be way tighter.

Decided to give the dungeon another go last night since they fixed the glitch with Ellen. I was pretty surprised with how fun and challenging the dungeon was.

Those golems can still die in a fire for all I care though. Getting pulled into the middle of the room is pretty much a death sentence.

**Celeras** · 2013-06-28 19:11

They only pull after getting hit by a wall, and point their fist at you prior to cast time. Try to time your stability/aegis/dodge, or hide behind barrels. Its a nice little learning curve, but not too difficult after.

I got Faster than Light and Unfriendly skies, still working on Personal Space.

**Ambrosia** · 2013-07-02 08:55

Unfriendly Skies was a bit tough to get done in a PUG, but I finally got it done. You can also run in a zig zag pattern, just don't run in a bee line from their line of sight since the arm has quite a reach. You can also jump the small laser wall without needing to get on top of the boxes in case you can't get to a stack in time. Or do what I did and solo it!

Quartz and Account Achievement Reward System.

New Jump Puzzle is pretty fun. Just need to figure out how to solve the path to get to the dive goggles. Though that's going to wait until the puzzle dies down a bit. Mesmers and unexpected AoE Swiftness make that dungeon a pain in the ass.

You have to enable aoe loot and then I would also recommend setting a key bind.

This is the best solution. Some people have started using Shift + F, i just use R, easier to spam while in WvW.

**Asilius** · 2013-07-07 01:30

Yea I switched autorun to Z and aoe loot to R

**Celeras** · 2013-07-08 12:53

Not even going to bother trying to summarize: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/c...overviewguide/

Looks like a pretty huge patch so soon after the last one.

**Arcana** · 2013-07-09 02:07

Would have preferred that the armor skins came as a complete set rather than half of one, but meh, i suppose they need things to add in the future.

**Corrderio** · 2013-07-09 10:16

They're not? Damn it.

Tagus · 2013-07-09 11:55

So the new zone is pretty crazy! anybody else in yet?

Tagus · 2013-07-09 12:07

oh god, sanctum sprint is fun as fuck!

**Corrderio** · 2013-07-09 12:10

Only one achievement chest per day. Damn it...

Late Edit: Sanctum Sprint is fun as hell.

**Shiyo** · 2013-07-09 23:32

New achievement skins are godly :Q Infinite use is soo good.

**Corrderio** · 2013-07-09 23:55

Yeah, I really want the greatsword/hammer ones. Just sucks the radiant armor is half a set and missing the body/legs/feet.

Such a shame the sanctum is temporary content. It's such an amazing area.
