Guild Wars 2

6 deluxe gear boxes is great plus a core, and you get them whether or not you do 1 or 3 knights, so this all works much better now.

For first time, my OF also got Scarlet.

Loving this event now; thank you Devs!!!!

we dont know yet. The pop up chest could gives u 18 champ boxes.
We just have to see.

Well…THAT would be OK, LOL

should get a gurantueed core in the colour of the knight you fought though.

Lilius.9850:

Anet changed the amount of chests you get after killing the watchknights.

Before it was 6 chest per knight -> 18 chests full of loot

Now it’s 6 chests, and ONLY after all 3 knights are dead

Lol.

I can imagine a d.e.v thinking “That’ll teach them to whine” while rubbing his hands

Blue Knight dead – no loot.

Attunement still floating above my head – no loot.

Asked to go to another group to help so we don’t fail – no loot.

Get stuck and can NOT waypoint in some kind of structure near the edge of the water (a rock??!!) while rezzing others – no loot.

This isn’t fixed, this is broken beyond belief.

No core here, and still does not spread platforms evenly… Probably done with this LS mess

DR managed to kill the blue knight with 2mins to spare (we barely scrounged up 50 players at this hour for our realm – gg Anet). Reward was 6 deluxe boxes and 3 Static Cores (others reported getting other color / amounts of cores as well).

Spoiler alert: You probably weren’t supposed to get 18 in the first place.

18 chests are better than 6. 3 cores are better than 1.
If you don’t agree, uninstall game.

Agreed. It was too much in too short a span of time.

More loot =/= better game.

I love this, it encourages the most basic of coordination, it’s almost precisely how the instance I occupied beat Scarlet immediately after the update.

went to an overflow that defeated all 3 knights, my reward? 6 deluxe boxes and 2 power cores …… 1 less core than when I killed just one knight >_<.

you still aren’t guaranteed cores.

First of all – cores aren’t guaranteed. Second – loot is still bugged it seems. Let me explain. On my first knight attempt early this morning I go to red knight and I get the reward chest RIGHT AFTER the red knight is killed. On my second attempt I go to blue knight, kill it – no reward chest, I move to green, kill it, event finishes – I get reward chest. Though my hubby gets his reward chest after the blue knight kill before the event is finished. Go figure…

They should change it back to 18 chests.

No?

Diablo 2. Great loot/equipment diversity, great game.

Diablo 3. Terrible loot/equipment diversity, terrible game.

That’s just one example.

That being said, giving that many champ boxes (18) out for practically nothing floods the market with new money, = inflation like scarlet invasion and deadeye farm. If they gave ITEMS and not money as well, there wouldn’t be a problem.

seriously what do u expect its a item mall game after all.

Yes… that was the reason dia 3 was bad…

>.<

I’ve participated in the killing of about 10-12 knights. ONE core is all I’ve received so far.

Yet we didn’t see any compensation for either the loot we haven’t received, and neither for the one we should have got when they disabled it prior to implementing the new system.
And the whole encounter design thing is just an excuse, anyway. Else they would have made changes during the last living story as well, and they didn’t.
Because some people farming champ boxes while others get nothing apart from the event reward, while extremely unfair, isn’t a problem. Everyone getting rewarded for their effort seems to be a problem, instead.
And considering they closed the thread about “knights giving too much loot” saying that “the issue has been resolved”…well, i would say we’ve got quite a clear response.

More loot = more loot = bigger profit

people keep talking about these cores. I have yet to see one!

Lilius.9850:

Before it was 0 chests per knight = 0 chests full of loot
Now it’s 6 chests, and ONLY after all 3 knights are dead

Fixed for you.

Before I got a chest after each knight I helped down. Now I get 0 no matter how many I kill. I liked it better before. Reward loot aside, I’m never going to earn enough power cores for my backpack at this rate.

Buy them, plenty of people are getting cores and selling.

1.Kill red
2.afk/gather herlooms
3.????
4.Profit!

So upset I can’t farm a living story for deluxe boxes because there is no trains in this game to get piles of loot once the LS is done. /sarcasm

I appreciate they up’ed the challenge and groups actually fail now. Living stories were just time investment and now actually require a small amount of communication coordination.

Aberrant.6749:

Ever heard of a champion train? They offer more loot for less effort.

Actually, plenty of people aren’t getting them. Some are. Thus, their prices are higher than they should be. They’re in high demand and short supply. Sure, I could buy them. But I’d rather earn them than spend 50g buying them.

The latest patch, of course, came with its own bugs and glitches.

It didn’t fully resolve the issue.

Killing any knight was supposed to result in a chest at the end of the 18 minutes.

Except that isn’t happening now. (Maybe it’s related to daily reset.)

Correlation does not mean causation. There were FAR more reasons than loot that split the difference between D2 and D3. The design of this event was that groups would split up and defeat the knights at the same time. We were never intended to get loot from all three. That players circumvented the design to be able to defeat all three doesn’t mean it was intended. They’re just enforcing the original design now by limiting rewards.

You can either accept it and run the event the way it’s supposed to be run, or complain and still run it that way, or just don’t do it. It’s not really going to effect anyone whatever you choose.

I call BS on that.

I have ended up with 0 chests after three knights as often as I have ended up with 18 chests. So, 1 guaranteed chest is better than a fair chance at getting 0. At least, it is in my book.
