Guild Wars 2

We would really like some answers on this. Is the diminishing returns system functioning properly in regards to Dynamic Events?

A lot of people are getting really low rewards for participation at gold medal level, yet have in no way been farming the same event, whereas others are farming them, yet are not hitting these diminishing returns. What is going on?

Would be nice to actually get a response on this.

Thanks.

I would really love this. I’ve been stuck for the last few days not being able to do events because I almost invariably hit the cap in less than an hour.

Nevermind, a Dev has finally commented on the situation here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Can-someone-explain-these-cap-limits-with-farming-mobs-dungeons/194976

Fantastic, was that new mechanism in the patch notes? And given the confusion obviously they haven’t explained how its meant to work, which they should do.

And if its bugged it should be rolled back immediately.

Stop posting that. There’s no mention of event DR or loot DR, only dungeon DR.

Check the thread topic that the dev posted it in please….

And he mentions nothing about event DR or loot DR, nor does he say they’re the same system. You’re reading into things. Mr. Hrouda explicitly mentions dungeon DR and says nothing about any other form of DR.

Yes but the thread that the dev posted the link in is about DE’s and loot.

And your point is? He says nothing whatsoever about 2/3 types of diminishing returns, so I’m not going to assume he knows anything about them. You’re reading too much into implications even though there is nothing explicitly mentioned about any loot or DE diminishing returns.

I’ve reported that post to the moderators and asked that they unlock it since it’s about something completely different than anything a dev has addressed.

Fair enough, maybe with you reporting it they’ll answer it properly then. Hopefully.

And I’ve just looked though the notes in the news and announcements section and can’t find any mention of the introduction of the diminishing returns mechanism. Anet you have to be transparent with us. Players need to know how this works let alone that it exists.

Still waiting for a Dev to properly comment on dynamic events and diminishing returns…
