Guild Wars 2

Sooooo, I managed to have the chest just now and I opened it aaaaaand….. I got a scroll of Knowledge, a crappy gold and 3 obsi.

And I’m like, what the hell ? We’ve been chasing her for a year, we saved the Arch FOR THIS ? FOR THIS REWARD ? Not even a little skin ? wtf is wrong Anet and the loots?

I’m not even asking for something valuable or very rare, but I feel this is just not right

Anyone got a better loot ?

My Box:
1 Rare Helm
5 Skill Points
200 Luck
44 Blade Shards
5 Obsidian Shards
5 Use Guild Finisher

1 rare
10 green
2 skill point
500 luck
3 OS
……….. Best open ever; even WvW chest =)

You do get a skin. Scarlet’s Veil

So what do you want? Dusk? 20 rares? Guaranteed ascended?

None of those, but I thing there’s a just middle between scrap and 600g skins, don’t you thing so ? You just CAN’T blame a community to be farming too much and rewarding them with scraps when they do something else…

if everyone get’s something rare/unique and sellable, then it becomes worthless.
If everyone get’s something rare/unique and not sellable, well that’s what scarlet’s veil is.

I got a rare, 3 OS, and an exotic worth about 10g. That was nice, but the enjoyment of the content was best.

What about a common, NEW, skin ? Or a gift, anything but scraps would have been fine.

This is, I’m not asking and complaining for monetary reasons, I find this sad that being involved in the living story is not as rewarding kitten min of champs farm.

It’s also a problem of logic in the story, a bit like when you kill a dragon and you got a stupid helm. Like someone would say “good job saving the world, here, take this cupcake and this beautiful helm”.

I mean, just imagine a distinctive, beautiful (aka no flames and spikes everywhere) reward. Or even just a symbolic reward.

Meanwhile, farming again and again the same boss is much more rewarded.

Well we did get a title isn’t that symbolic?

You get the skin for finishing scarlet in the story instance anyways.
Another waste of time pve content.

Title isn’t linked to that reward but to another success that is part of the reward. But, yeah, it’s kinda true except it’s a very minimalistic work for Anet.

You forget that some people may have not done everything leading up to this event.
Sure the loot isn’t great…but given what can be dropped from that chest and what the mobs can too…it’s pretty fair.

They really need to fix the loot bug (hotfix didn’t work for tons) and the hologram having infinite immunity.

A little girl gave you a drawing every day for being nice and helping people escape Lions Arch. Boom, emotional symbolism (and 25 luck!)

To be fair you hardly do anything in any of this content but show up.

I don’t like it, it’s another skin with spikes and kitten . That’s my opinion tho and it’s not an argument.

But again, it’s not linked to this sucess. If you look on the previous events you’ll notice that we often had different items linked to different success, and a “big” reward linked to the meta event in general. But on the climax of the story, for the “biggest reward”,we have…. nothing !

you keep bring up money.
and want to be guaranteed a valuable/unique reward for doing something easy.
you can’t have both.

What happened to just enjoying the content?

Count your treasure. All I got was a bugged boss and an hour of seemingly endless grind…

I would rather have something nice that worth nothing BUT is original enough to justify the involvement (and that would be logical in the story) than an expensive ugly drop that I would just sell.

I don’t know, would a armband with Lion’s Arch symbol or a visible neckless or a pair of original gloves be too much to design ? In fact anything that would mark the day more than 3 obsi and a scroll.

I don’t understand why we didn’t just get a freaking title.

“Defender of Lion’s Arch” or “Savior of Lion’s Arch” would have sufficed.

I said months ago that this would happen. Maybe this is what Colin meant when he said that I was one in a million that guessed what happens in the end? You get useless crap!

We got a helmet skin, that is the common new skin.

Are you sure you opened the achievement chest? Because I got the same thing but it was NOT the meta-achievement rewards. I also got a chest the first time I went into the portal at Diverse Ledges and got a Lesser Vision Crystal, Essence of Luck, and a thing of Liquid Karma.

The meta gives you “a 5-skill-point Scroll of Knowledge, 1 Essence of Luck, 5 Obsidian Shards, 50 Blade Shards, a five-use Guild Shield Finisher, and a rare item.”

You also get the title Hero of Lion’s Arch and a unique helm for killing Scarlet. What else do you want?

you can’t have both.

You can have both, at least to an irrational person and this board seems to be jammed packed with them, so don’t bother.

I know right, its hilarious x)

On a side note:
People just don’t understand hard work anymore. They want to be rewarded with big things with as little effort as possible. Personally I’d switch the rewards from the story mode and the 15/15 achievement, but it I like it nonetheless.

Plus we got some f/f action, what more do you want?!

I don’t remember everything I got from the chest, but I believe I got some scrolls of knowledge and an unlimited guild finisher.

Uuuh, I got this helmet skin from the actual finish of the storyline.
What are you talking about? The meta? What does that have to do with anything? They finally decoupled content from the meta-ach? Good riddance.

Zin.1673:

If you look on the previous events you’ll notice that we often had different items linked to different success, and a “big” reward linked to the meta event in general. But on the climax of the story, for the “biggest reward”,we have…. nothing !

Three points.

1.) The rewards from completing the story and completing the meta have generally been balanced. One a skin, one a node. One a mini, one a tonic. In some individual cases one may have been widely considered better than the other, but that goes both ways. Meta reward is not the “big” reward.

2.) It makes more sense, to me at least, that the more unique and commemorative of the two rewards be for completing the story, rather than grinding random achievements. This allows more people to enjoy that symbol of participation in the actual climax of the Living Story, rather than reserving it for those who can afford the time to “Dodge so-and-so x times” and “Touch y of this item.”

3.) The reward seems ample. Other people seem to be getting plenty. I think you just got an unlucky drop, and hey, kitten happens.

Actually it is linked to success. If you don’t beat Scarlet then you don’t get the helm. Beating Scarlet is part of the living story. The meta reward really has no bearing on success as those achievements are just filler.

You can get the liberator of lions arch chest by doing easy dailies, what kind of reward did you expect? the good rewards are on the events that actually take some effort.

Twice trolled by Anet on rewards:-

End of season 1 WvW reward chest (7 weeks/100’s of gold spent) :- TRASH
End of season 1 LS reward chest (16months time/effort) :- TRASH

So what do you want? Dusk? 20 rares? Guaranteed ascended?

Actually yes (to the ascended). This is the finale, we should be getting something really good for all the time/patience spent. It should have contained a guaranteed
Ascended item (that would be random, both whether armor/weapon and which stats it is).

The only way I could agree with you on this is if they made it dependent on having completed past LS metas or instances. If not, “time and patience” mean nothing because anyone can log on for the first time in months and grab it. It’d be insta-worthless.

Everyone seems to miss the point of the Living Story. It’s not a chore to work through, it’s not punishment to be compensated for. It’s a story, and as such is its own reward. This release is epic and awesome, as a finale should be. Try to enjoy it maybe? If you’re here to make the little numbers turn into big numbers, Borderlands might be more rewarding. Loot simulation at its finest.

Maybe a couple BLTP weapon tickets. That way you can CHOOSE something.

Minos.5168:

“Defender of Lion’s Arch” or “Savior of Lion’s Arch” would have sufficed.

That’s odd I got “Hero of Lion’s Arch” when I beat Scarlet.

I would have liked it if you would’ve got a token to exchange for an ascended weapon/armour piece (account bound and un-salvageable) there would be no monetary value to it so the TP flippers wouldn’t be affected, and it would feel as if you had received some thing worth while and of real use. The spinal back piece is a nice addition that is close to this ideal but still requires huge (at the moment) sums of money.
Maybe something Anet can consider for future content.

At least you got something I didn’t get kitten cuz it said “escape before cannon fires from the airship” and everyone was running to the portal we didn’t get kitten, we barely saw Scarlet, all in all this was a crappy event.

Over complicated.

Make a backpiece and head on over to the purple platform.

I wanted 100 gold and a stack of ectos from that chest. I didn’t get them

This is just the meta achievement I wouldn’t expect anything amazing from it. The real reward for the first season of the LS is battling Scarlet for once and for good. From that I got a Lesser vision crystal, 3 dynamic cores, some rares and the veil skin, money, among other things I am not remembering.
I think that is a good reward, not great neither bad, is ok, but as someone said before, I wouldn’t expect Dusk for the end of the season. People must realize we get rewarded during the whole year. Sum it up all of that and I think that is a fair reward for the year.
In the beginning this game was really awful to loot, these days I do easily 100g in 2 days and I don’t have to perform any special magic for it, let’s not be ungrateful.

And the stuff we already got isn’t “insta-worthless.”?

Thats all based on RNG (which apparently you got a good roll). I got jack-kitten from killing Scarlet (I got the vision crystal but that was probably the only worthwhile thing), it wouldn’t have been that bad if I got some of the power cores…

Anet will never give you good quest rewards they want you to buy them on the BLC. Its all random and the chance of getting something good even with max magic find is a joke. Even when people had 600+ MF nothing good was really found. Its how they run their game, poor, with out thought, and no care to what their community actually wants.

Wow, that sucks brah.
I got:
-1000 luck
-lesser vision crystal
-4500 karma
-2 golf of course

You get a unique Helm Skin for completing part of the Meta. It’s pretty nice and worth nothing, so that would fit your demands.
