Guild Wars 2

Right now I’m very near to having everything I need for my legendary.
Except one thing.
THE PRECURSOR…

Sofar I’ve reforged 216 l76+ EXOtic Shortbows, and nothing.

And this is really putting me off playing the game and working my way to my legendary. It’s already very hard to earn decent gold in the game (yes there is the TP, but there’s no fun in that tbh).

I’d rather work myself to getting a precursor instead of throwing a kittenload of gold at somebody who lucked it out… (no, working myself to 300+g is NOT fun)

Couldn’t we just have some unique bosses that drop the precursors or some thing, similarly to GW1??

(also sorry for the weird title, apparently it was 52 characters long and the max is 50)

I doubt it, having it as a drop encourages farming, which leads to overfarming/bots/massive supply, which will cause the price of the precursor to plummet to nothing.

Another one of those I need a recipe thread? Tunnel Vision on the precursor.

You know what happens if Anet makes a sure fire way to get a precursor? Did you really think about it before making the OP? If Anet give you sure fire way to get a precursor more people will have them right? Cool happy happy joy joy. Now 8 people just got their guaranteed precursor. They need charged lodestone. There inst 800 charged lodestones on the TP. Price for charged lodestones goes way up (higher than they are now) then you come to forums and ask for a direct way to get charged lodestones.

People are way ahead of you. They are already asking for a direct way to get charged lodestones. Or rather, a direct way to get any lodestones.

Then how about we get ways of getting a legendary directly then. It seems that people do not understand what less than 5% of the total population means….

Delolith.9645:

You’re aware there are other uses for lodestones than for making legendaries right? Some unique non-legendary weapons need upwards of 400 lodestones.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Volcanus
Requires 450 lodestones

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mjolnir
Requires 350 charged lodestones

If you choose to do it the hard and uncertain way (trying to forge one yourself) instead of the easy and direct way (selling the 200-300g worth of exotic weapons you went through and buying it off the TP), then it makes sense that you might have bad luck. But even if they made a “direct” way to get a precursor, it’d still be something that takes hundreds of hours to do, and then people will be saying “this takes hundreds of hours to farm, it’s not fair”. In fact, people are already saying that about charged lodestones, even though it’s certainly possible to farm them at a slow but steady rate (it just takes a long time).

The people who are selling precursors aren’t only “people who lucked out”. They’re also people who’ve thrown thousands of exotics or tens of thousands of rares into the MF.

Also if it dropped from a unique boss, that’d be even worse – “boss doesn’t spawn often enough”, “always overcamped so I can’t see/do anything”, “it never drops because it’s super rare”, “i don’t want to buy it off the TP from someone who lucked it”, “i fight the boss once every 3 hours but if it only drops it 1% of the time then I have to spend months getting bad drops from this boss in the hopes that I might get the precursor I want”

Or, the recipe could use icy runestones as the base. Icy runestones sell for a flat 1g per from a merchant. Peg the recipe around the average price of precursors, so 150g for 1h and 300g for 2h. Tada, prices for other things don’t skyrocket.

A direct farm is a less arguable position than one of a pure gamble. If I can see gains towards a goal I’m more willing to push for it than having to roll a 1 million sided die for 1 number a million times. Especially the work required to get to 1 roll.

Also don’t forget there was the exploit using low level rares to gamble for precursors early on. Most of that supply is still in the market.

Yea, world bosses lead to the overcamping, and as is all precursors should drop from a dungeon chest like any other chest in the game, so it’s still a chance from a boss either way.

A: No, the precursors (as the Legendaries) are meant to be the rarest of items, and the stuff of Legends.

You won’t be a Legendary Hero if it was so easy as to follow a recipe.

IMO, Legendaries should be a guild-effort like Thunderfury was in WoW. Yes, i know someone of you farmed it by himself when the content was outdated, but in that times, it will need a guild effort to make it.

This could be a suggestion for Anet. Let’s make Legendaries a guild effort, instead of a personal one.

Much of the whining will cease instantly.

No, they’ll never make precursors easier to get. They are literally the only thing holding the economy together at the moment.

Most of the supply of the exploit precursors is on the market? You really believe that? That was a while ago. I have seen plenty of dusks hit the tp and disappear since then at prices lower than they are now.

This is already possible I know a guild that is already doing this. The GL has Kudzu they are working on dusk for another member they just have to get the lodestones together they will go after frostfang next.

I doubt it and I doubt we’ll even get an official response. Legendaries are for lucky people and not legends. I’m not playing the game as much and my friends are quitting left and right. We really hate the Korean MMO direction this game is going in. It would at least be nice if we got responses on if the precursor system was ever going to change.

Well, the problem is that right now, precursors are “worth” 150-300 hours of farming for a Dusk. When inflation happens, gold will become less valuable (as is happening now with increased crafting mat prices), which means they’ll become “worth” 100-200 hours of farming instead, or possibly even eventually 50-100 hours of farming.

Is that what you want?

THIS

Also I don’t even understand people in the thread saying “GTFO if you want a precursor recipe”…
What part of “Couldn’t we just have some unique bosses that drop the precursors or some thing, similarly to GW1 ??” suggests me wanting a recipe for precursors?

I just would much rather prefer a way of obtaining a precursor other than luck or 300+ gold… Like for example if they required a certain combination of a number of dungeon tokens. (I just thought about this right now)

We need a 100 level dungeon with difficult bosses every five levels. If you wipe, you start back at the top. If you finish it, you get your choice of a precursor. If you finish it successfully you have to wait 3 months to do it again. If you leave, you can try again immediately. You get to a save point after every boss. (Every five floors.) You can log out here and not lose any progress, but you can’t leave until you finish the dungeon or you have to start over. You must stick with your party. No one can quit.

1. It makes an epic journey for a precursor.
2. It gives you a reason to find a good guild and form a good party.
3. It’s not some BS gambling mechanic.

Oh yeah, and soulbind on acquire all the precursors. It’s stupid that you can buy them.

Wonder if I should post this in it’s own thread for feedback.

Keep it the way it is means rewarding the exploiters and gold buyers/botters is this what you want and mean by legendary?
I have no issue doing it if everyone else has to farm do X to get it. But to hand it out based on dumb kitten luck is horrible. It nullifies the effort one puts into the game.
If I wanted one I could have it in a few mins. That is legendary?

If everyone has to farm x and do y fine but the fact that luck plays an insurmountable roll in this is idiotic.
In this game it is preached as attainable if you work for it and an epic adventure. The (dev blog post 1 month ago stated this.)Paypal is not legendary and doesnt require work.
Using my real money nullifies this and there is nothing epic about it. Just the stain I see of the exploiters and gold buyers waving theirs around atm.

A simple increase in supply would drop the amount of money need a lot so loosen up a slight bit on the drop rate. But they would rather keep the botters in business then give us an epic chain of events/or whatever ect for that most prized of weapons.

There will always be people that will not be content.
I do understand Anet’s position, and I hope you guys do too – if they change the way a precursor is obtained, a bunch of people already having them will jump on the forums to cry, because they feel they put more effort to get theirs and should somehow be “refunded” for the extra effort put.
There is no golden middle here.
I’m sad to say this(Zap…I won’t see you for many many months…) but the best right now is for the precursors to stay as they are.

why people cant realize they will pay at least 2x of a actual price of a single precursor just in lodestones if ANet make them easier to obtain?

Lodestones are a whole other issue.

I put in alot of time and effort into making one, but I am not lucky enough to get a precursor. All we know is that “everything in the game is based on several factors and that they are looking at everything closely”. Yeah, they aren’t changing anything and are ignoring these threads.

Did they make a recent comment on the issue? I’d like to see if if anyone has a link?

What issue are you talking about?

I think it should be a quest with a giant cool down. One precursor type per month can be obtained via some very difficult quest..now that is legendary..and would make everyone froth at the mouth to be the first one that month.

Making it drop from a boss isnt legendary..everyone will have one in a week.

then feel free to go back that super awesome US-made MMO, World of Warcraft… LOL.

No, this is pretty much the only MMO I like. I just dislike one thing about it that is ruining the experience for me and some of my friends.

SteepledHat.1345:

I’m hoping for something similar to this… (except for the wipe=restart thing) It would make it atleast LEGENDARY instead of LUCKY…

Currently my only hope is that the new dungeon they introduce with the Lost Shores patch will solve the issue the way you stated it, since Anet goes on and on about how difficult this dungeon is… Imagine if it would reward you with a precursor for being so hard. Now THAT would totally be worth it.

If not though I’m afraid I’ll just greatly reduce my playtime, as I already have 3 lvl80 characters, I almost have all the dungeon armor I wanted, and as I said in my original post, I’m nearing the completion of the requirements of the Dreamer except for the freaking precursor.

No those who have them now cheated their way there. If they banned everyone for the karma exploits ect (more than 2 weopns =perm ban) and other $ making exploits sure I would understand that.
But frankly anyone who has one now bought it by using payapal from a bot farmer or exploited their way to it. If I were them I would keep my mouth shut and hope my account doesnt get looked at.Every time I see one it is a stain on the toon and the guild – plain and simple for me. None bar maybe 10% are legitimate Legendaries.
SO NO I dont see it like that at all.

I wish they’d do something like my dungeon idea. But, I really think it’s just an attempt on Anet’s part to drive you to buy gems for gold. They’ve yet to demonstrate otherwise. Everything about the precursor acquisition process pushes toward buying gems to transform into gold.

The first thing that popped into my head was SAO (too much anime). It’s a rough idea, but I like it, precursors as they are now are just massively inflated by the five people that have one that in all likelihood didn’t obtain it legitimately.

Yet another person that thinks whoever has legendary is cheater, bought it for gold or via pay pal.

Here is suprise for you, I know atleast 3 players that dropped precursor for themself from mystic forge and they have legendary or almost done. And few others those have precursor stored in the bank and not sure if they gonna sell it or make legendary.

You are exactly like those people in real life claiming that everyone who is rich, has bentley, etc is just cheater, someone who steals and doesnt deserve it

Good luck with that.

You are asking for fixed way of making precursor but know anything about game mechanics, company goals or ingame economy. There are reasons why things are set up like they are now and you just dont know them. Stop making assuptions already.

Like I said in a previous post 10% are legit. But that is it. I know exactly how things work. I also said that had Anet stuck to thier guns and kept the ban in for the exploiters that I wouldnt have a problem with it please read the posts before you talk about assumptions. Anet needs to coincide the RNG with Legendary. But Yes most cheated or purchased gold.
Do I care no not really but Luck should play no role in this that is what I disagree with. I do accounting for a living sorry to tell you and I know exactly what people make because I do their taxes and corporate returns.

Well we have different oppinions then. I think RNG is big part of legendary and it has its purposes. Rng is not ingame just because of lazy developers.

I don’t like the idea of luck being needed to make a legendary. I would actually prefer it that you have to work for a precursor instead of gamble for it. 100% exploration and completing daily and monthly achievements were already required. Why not remove the random/luck based stuff and replace it with something that requires real achievement? Something actually requiring you to finish something like if you finish every path of every single dungeon in exploreable mode + 500 tokens from each dungeon to exchange for an account bound precursor. There could be other ways, but the important thing is to reward players for effort, not something they could just buy or gamble for.

The only problem right now is that precursors (and Legendaries) are buyable/sellable. If they were Account Bound nobody would talk about them.

Indeed…and just to mention.I’m striving for Bolt, but checking the recent prices for charged lodestones(3/100 atm) it turns out I need about 250g just to get those 97 left.

Decide what you will aim for 1st – having a precursor ready at the inventory, or having all other components? Don’t aim for both, honestly.

that’s not true. A big part of the problem would still remain, the fact that you have to gamble and be extremely lucky to receive one. Doesn’t feel legendary at all.

That’s true, but we will get rid of the “it’s amoral that they cost so much”, “it is all a ruse to force us to buy money”, “the exploiters/cheater had them and they’re dominating the market”, etc.

At least we would only have to deal with a gameplay issue, and not whit an economic crisis…

That’s true, and I agree. I didn’t say though that it wouldn’t solve anything, I just said that a big part of the problem would still remain.

If all legendaries and precursors become account bound, exploiters and cheaters wouldn’t be able to benefit anymore. There would still be the problem of expensive materials, but at the very least we know that most people wielding legendaries actually did some work(you can’t buy karma).

to all the whiners and complainers, haven’t you all heard that Anet is already looking into the precursor issue? Welfare Legendaries are coming our way, thanks to you folks.

Do less, get Legendaries, awesome win!
