Guild Wars 2

I’ve found since the last update a week ago that many word events, be it orr temples, dragons (claw, teq, shatterer) are doing “odd” things. For instance, I just finished the claw of jormag fight and 5x I was stuck in the ice pillars during phase 2. I’ve done the fight 30+ times and never had one “spawn” on me where I was stuck in it.

Is it me or does it seem the chest drop rates are lower? The bonus still gives the yellow item, but usually now I have to do 7-8 events to see a single yellow in with the regular chest, (be it a crafting item, armor or weapon). I recall prior to the update, and this could be how I’m seeing it, it felt there was a higher drop rate of items.

The temples are non-existant and very difficult now in orr. The champions spawning and one shotting everyone and the over abundance of elites to players is absurd. In some events I see a 2 or 3 to 1 ratio of elites to players. If the purpose is to get people to guest to other servers just to find the open temples, then allow more than 2 guest passes a day and establish a system to check temples. I think it’s silly that it’s come to us having to post on a forum what temples/events are open on each server because we can’t field enough people to do event. The purpose of the events is to bring people together, the challenge is too great that most walk away from it or don’t feel like the hassle.

I understand anet is trying to stop some of the farming, but let’s be real here, unless we farm events for items and creatures for drops, there isn’t a lot of methods to make currency in game, you find yourself spending more on waypoints and repairs than earning. This anti-social setup for the events doesn’t bring us together, it pushes people apart to the point where less want to do the events, aka the scaling needs to be fixed. yes, a challenge is good, but instant 1 shots all the time? Ridiculous amounts of enemies and difficulty whereby pushing the avg casual gamer away. The open world pve is casual, it shouldn’t require massive strategy and massive amounts to accomplish, that’s what dungeons are for. If I recall a rough wording before of anet saying dynamic events happen all over, and for players to jump right in and help. As of now, that’s not the case for orr temples specifically. Please fix this last “fix” that broke something that didn’t need fixing.

Buy gems, convert them to gold. It’s the only way to farm now.

It costs me nearly 10 silver to go to lions ar*e and back once….. I agree on the waypoint + repair costs > than income.
Seems they need money , BUY GEMS xD
