Do that about 3 times total and you have the heart done. Literal thinking outside the box 😄 I seem to remember trying that once, but it dropped me out of stealth cuz I got too far away, or something, I dunno. I can eventually get behind the tents, then just wait for the flag to reset over and over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do that about 3 times total and you have the heart done. Literal thinking outside the box 😄 That’s what I used to do, but the much much quicker way is to use the Prototype Position Rewinder, set your rewind point just past the seeker, mount up, run, get stealthed, use position rewinder to teleport back and wait for the seeker to not be there before you run forward. You can make it a seamless back-to-back process if you set the rewind point again before you run forward to trigger the heart progress. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! I feel a little bad, because really, I do appreciate how the Vault has gotten me to engage with lots of content I wouldn't have otherwise. I was quite intimidated by Fractals and Strikes, and now I look forward to doing each on their bi-weekly rotation. I don't think I would've minded too much if they were kept in, but just made much less frequent. Honestly, there's a lot of underplayed content in the game, so I really would just like to see more things added to the rotation so the less enjoyable things just pop up less frequently. In particular, I'd really like to see a lot more minidungeons added to that rotation, but it might be cool to also see things like dungeons on the weeklies, just as one example. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, @Rubi Bayer.8493 , my pve side very much appreciates you and the other Anet folks hearing and responding to the unhappiness with some of the daily and weekly objectives. On the other hand, my WvW side is hurting that you, when asked directly, as well as other Anet folks, have never responded to much of the WvW unhappiness about things like the broken defense mechanics. Adding new Dominator titles to WvW and buffing the Lords there? I don't recall ever reading a single post requesting either of those changes. Yet, how many posts have there been asking that broken things like the defense mechanics get fixed, only to be met with total silence from Anet? The difference between how you respond to pve and WvW is so glaring that it really does sting. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Can we also hope for the listings to be a little more geographically diverse, instead of All Cantha All The Time? Please? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'd mind it that much with a couple changes - Some way to get hints on the general location of the totems - they can occasionally be a real pain to find (less so if you use BlishHUD, but I don't think the game should be encouraging that) Remove the knockdown wells, or just make them inflict the crippled condition instead. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entara.3075 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 It's not so much that I object to the Spirit Vestibule dungeon itself as to the time it takes to complete it. All the other daily chores are relatively straight forward and take less than 10mins each. The dungeon takes considerably longer. It is also not easy or takes a fair amount of work to solo it. In comparison the other EOD dungeon takes less than 10min and can easily be soloed by most players. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other daily chores are relatively straight forward and take less than 10mins each. The dungeon takes considerably longer. This is the main reason it’s so unpopular, imo. It’s guaranteed to take longer than any other dungeon in the rotation at the moment, because The Long Way Round can be skipped with turtles, Vexa’s Lab can be portaled or you can skip most of using a mount and Bond of Faith, and Vasburg Armory is pretty quick and straightforward as long as Lukas Vasburg doesn’t bug out. Spirit Vestibule has no skips, and if you happen to reach a boss room just after someone else has cleared it, you need to wait several minutes for them to respawn.

I guess your talking about the last map one thats just 6 or 7 circle rooms with mobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not mind Spirit Vestibule that much if it was not one of the only four minidungeons appearing in that rotation. There's much more of those in the game than just SV, Vexxa, Long way around and Vasburg, and having just only those show up on a very frequent basis is the main issue there. More variety, please. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one and Vasburg Armory are the only two Cantha ones that show up in the Wizard's Vault daily tasks. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to stealth up, then go anti-clockwise from the start, behind the first tents, over the the next one. Can usually complete it in 3 runs, iirc but it's still tedious.

Gop.8713 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Sad to hear that we're sending activities down the dungeon road but at least anet is listening to players . . ? Now let's line up to see what they whine about next ; ) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
