Has anybody finished T2?

That's my question, is there any party, that can finish t2 cragmire or wolf den? Honestly, I don't know how to do it and I'm just interesting, can someone do it, or not. I'm not asking about tactits or what bugs were used for it. I just want to know that it is doable and we should keep trying.

I think most of the groups going there are exploiting.
I finished t2, one time, then when i saw the gameplay i lost fun :C
Arohan-DC - 3k DC
Che Guevara - 3.6k OP tank
Hodor - 2.6k GWF
the whole group, but not paladin. he just have 80% rezist to all damage, that he take fom the group. And sometimes tere are damage about 4kk and this can oneshot even paladin with a lot of temporary hp and rezist cap.
However, its not like every dc is trait-ed to use it (you have to pick a specific line, or spend points up to it) of which we will not point out details. In addition, you can further exploit it, by going a specific paragon and a offhand power (both of which I do not use atm to avoid it)
Frankly this smacks of the time when another , un-named DC power allowed people to defeat mad dragon and castle never, all of which wouldn't have happened without that power.
What I want is a generally re-scaling of some of this damage, to allow a broader scope of people to accomplish the t2s, they seem to have a hard time with this, either making it a blow through via power creep, or not winnable without certain exploits.
Will people get to the point they can beat these if these items are fixed? Ya, but poeple are going to have to get pretty heavy gear score item level, in addition of not making any mistakes in some of these boss fights to do it.
If the toned down the grind level of how many seals you need, you can farm some of the mini bosses and get your protector setup easier, allowing more poeple to finish bosses (in theory anyways)
.Suicide Squad.
Only for hardcore players >_>
T1 difficulty is just fine.
I am not angry with Cryptic developers however, they have already apologized and have recognized the issues. That is all a guy can ask for really. Hopefully it will get better, cause the reality now is unplayable content makes for a game not worth playing. They basically hit the reset button, they also eliminated massive AD holes, they also improved content design... now they are going to remove the exploits first... then allow for real testing again... and will eventually apply balance. This was sorely needed and I cannot wait to see what comes from it.
I tried Cragmire runs going queue to test.
I can say dungeons are doable if the team has competent DC or palading or both, that can protect, or DC and GF tank, and 3 DPS with good damage that know how to play and kill fast.
Protection is key cause without it, oneshot hits fly a lot. Don't know if skilled players can do it without protective classes, but so far my opinion is they are the core of the group.
Bosses are doable, same way.
End boss...let's just say i can't say if hard to fight or not... -.-'
What i would fix/tone down are one-shot hits through protections (seriously?) or one-shot hits from trash mobs normal attacks (again, seriously?) on a 90-100k HP toon. I'd say red areas one-shots ok, and normal hit one-shots from bosses if you don't dodge or are not protected. But currently, T2s can use a bit of balancing here and there to make them still challenging but with a logic behind.
Just to avoid the current, typical "oh look, a small little spider...how cu... *dead*" or "ok, DC EAS is on me, i'm blessed/ in unstoppable/ my thick GF shield raised, nothing to fear. Let's attack!--->punched by boss normal attack--->dead".
1600 iLvL are doable with good team. Hard, you're always on the edge, but doable and fun.
Absolutely...and you dont need any bugs/exploits. For example:
Yesterday i made VT with GF/TR/DC/DC/GWF ( me). Smooth run. Some wipes ( mostly cuzz some lags where horrofying ^^), but much fun. No nuke anymore on bosses. You have to play tactic. I like it ^^.
I did, however, attempt Epic GWD and CC on preview before Mod 6 launched. I did not come close to beating them even with really good groups. Not sure if they are possible without exploits. I have seen screenshots of people who have beaten Epic CC, but I doubt they were done legitimately.
The tome now shows if the coffers available instead of taken, for me at least I had to wait for the daily reset for it to become correct, it was in the wrong state after the patch, perhaps it is what happened to you.
That's correct, yesterday's patch should have indeed fixed the issue. For those curious, the functionality of the caches has changed slightly as well, namely, availability will reset at the same time every morning instead of 18 hours after receiving a cache. This functionality had to change due to the nature of the issue, however, we hope that for most players this will be an improved experience, allowing you to run a dungeon for your daily cache without worrying about the time you received your cache the previous day.
Please let us know if you are still experiencing issues receiving daily caches.

CC is still a huge pile a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, Traven will one shot you when he goes berserk, doesn't matter what you do.
Haven't tried GwD post patch.
Especially eCC is bad because the boss can port behind you and you might have no chance to turn and get your guard up (again).
its kind of like bosses either had % chance to ignore DR on hit, roll for instakill, or have really high armor pen, 1st boss in elol usually 1shots me at start through shield@ and whatever buffs i have on me, sometimes without even being near, then im ressed and for the rest of the fight its ok and i can tank the boss and the drake, same sometimes happens with scorpions, though it might be because of the shield delay, scorps auto attack hits for some 130k+ through 50% dr
would be nice knowing precise monster stats and interaction with different DR buffs so we can build around it
Lair of Lostmauth is not impossible if you have experienced players, healer at least and if you are lucky enough. Can't say anything about Valindra, and Malabog is not too hard to kill, but lags outside the castle are awful. We got to the dragon and after two tries I left the party since I am almost useless with such slow-mode graphics.
It is ironic I think that now players actually use teamwork of different classes... just to get the bugs work. Was that your purpose, cryptic?
Yeah, this is pretty much how T2's are done now, nearly every method used to beat these dungeons now would certainly be considered exploiting by Cryptic. Nearly any party (even ones full of BIS) who try to take these dungeons head on end up dead in short order. There are specific ways to make every fight bearable but very few wouldn't be considered exploiting by the morally-righteous and the devs.
This was before the 23/4 patch - We haven't attempted CC/GWD legit since the patch, so not sure if anything has been made easier. ToS indeed felt easier legit though.
Please stop whining, throw your M5 maximum-damage-faceroll-mentality away, turn your head on, make good synergizing teams and get some skill - and pray it doesn't start to lag.
I'd say a GF and 2 CW who can actually control and protect the GFs back are mandatory. A healing DC should be there but it might be possible without. 5th class can be whatever.
Also, make sure no one in your party uses Transcendent Feytouched as it is bugged and increases enemies damage by up to 5000%.
@Cryptic: Please, please DON'T change the difficulty. It is perfect as it is now (or was, before 23/4, in case anything changed). We have waited since M0 for this, don't make it a faceroll-fest again. You just forgot to add loot to the T2s. Unfortunately there will be no point in playing them anymore, after people have all the Protector seals to get the BiS gear.
