Gauntlgrym is such garbage

So after doing it 4 times now. Phase 1 = completely pointless. Phase 2 = pointless.PvP is just about zerging nothing more Phase 3 = only speed farming t1 dungeon is worth a **** since the t2 dungeon take 15-20 min and nets the same amount of grym coins as t1 + it has such a very low drop rate for t2 pvp gear that its not worth it. Might as well just turn 1 thing in for Phase 1 to get credit then afk for remainder of the time, then Phase2 just skip pvp. and do same thing as phase 1. then just speed farm t1 dungeon in phase 3. can easily get 4-5 runs in t1 dungeon in the 30 min and get 25-30 coins. This is such a huge letdown and greatly disapointed that i dont even want to bother with it any longer..

    It would be almost fun if the queues popped. I think I'm going to just switch the guild over and see if the other side has better queues.

    The Queues arent the problem. the problem is the **** company making this game that doesnt know how to keep its players. My Entire guidl quit the game 3 days after GG was released which had like 40 people in it. All my friends have left.. this game is just too boring.. D3 is more fun then this...

    D3 is fun in which universe exactly ? Tbh D3 and NW are pretty similar in some aspects

    - repetitive grinding for gear /check
    - boring content / check
    - Ah bots / check
    - P2W / check
    - non existent boss mechanics / check
    - lack of end game / check

    So if you got bored of NW not sure why you'll go back to D3 since it's actually the same game with the exception that you can solo the high end content ( I soloed MP10 for 2 months and uninstalled - bis everything wiz + barb ) .

    Gauntlgrym is the best PVP of any MMO yet.
    The point of the first two Phases is to win.
    I once placed 7th in Phase 1 and 4th in Phase 2. If I can ever place I higher than that, I'll be ecstatic.
    Plus, we get Grym Coins for Phase 2.

    It's all much more fun than the Epic Dungeons. And, I'm building up my gear. It's all good.

    ok.. still doing T2 dungeon is pointless.. 10% chance to get a t2 armor piece from chest. and 3% from boss drop. yet they give the same amount of grym coins which is 4-7 per run. imo speed farming t1 which gets 4-5, 6 if youre really lucky, soo on average you get about 25-30grym coins per GG phase 2,3. where if you do t2 dungeon, you have such a small chance to get a pvp item, and 4-7 coins. and you are lucky to get 2 runs completed depending on group. so doing t2 you get about 12-16 coins per GG. T1 > T2. rewards are too HAMSTER. just like theres no incentive to do skirmishes. and IMO GW2 has the best PvP there is. both the Spvp,tpvp, and WvW.

    Gauntlgrym does seem pointless but theres light at the end of the tunnel. New zone, quests, professions coming in the first module

    I actually enjoy Gauntlgyrm's PvP. There are no bots (yet) and the few people who leave or afk don't affect the outcome nearly as much as 5v5 PvP. Sure, it's zergy but it's fun.

    The problem with GG is the fact that it only happens once every 6 hours. It also requires you to be in a guild, so guildless players are shutout of doing GG. When you put so many roadblocks that restricts players to the already lacking content, that's just stupid game design and decision making on Cryptic's part.

    The other issue with GG is the fact that Phase 1 is pointless. A useless PvP buff that takes 30 minutes of mindless collecting and killing trash mobs over and over is not anyone's idea of fun. Then you need to sit at the turn in points and spam F for 5-10 minutes. They really couldn't have given people an option to just turn in everything with 1 button? You also get no reward for coming in first place in points. That's why people just afk during Phase 1 or don't even participate in it. More HAMSTER game design...

    Phase 3 is just farming Gyrm coins as fast as possible. People do speed runs to get the coins because the loot from the bosses in both of the dungeons are no different than what you'd find in regular T1 and T2 dungeons that you can do anytime. The T1 boss is basically a copy of the first boss in Castle Never, except he has less HP, falls off his spider mount, and does a few different attacks. The T2 boss is too tanky for no reason other than to make the fight last longer and more frustrating. Other than that, it's just another run of the mill Neverwinter boss fight with endless spawning adds. Uninspired and uninteresting bosses with no mechanics that actually challenges players.

    All in all, Gauntlgyrm is another failure in most people's eyes. The only saving grace is Phase 2's PvP and some decent Gyrm coin PvP gear (only TR and CW gear sets are worth wearing).

    I agree, well, only 1 point D3 has better than NW is item loot system ...

    These threads need to be consolidated, there are a ton of gauntlgrym (small g, doesn't deserve a capital g) is garbage threads. Sadly the developer and the 6 year in charge think everything is just fine.....

    Can everyone just imagine what this module 1 is going to be like? With this crop of developers track record thus far? I will shake my head in advance. I will login for the angel coins and then go play FF14 even though it is a sub, at least the boss fights are incredible and the developers have some programming skill.
    There is no worse feeling in the world than the moment during an argument you realize you are wrong.
