Guild Wars 2

1) no more loot from mobs (not even the little chest in each pit)
2) no loot from the souped-up legendary bosses (after spending money to trigger them)
3) more open world raid
4) not just more open world raid, but SIX of them for the one reward that will no doubt not be worth the hour we put in (just finished 2/6 and it’s been over fifteen minutes with a huge blob of people, and the bosses only get beefier)
5) the longer it takes, the worse that sad reward will get

Anet has reached perfection in understanding what we want: no loot, open world raids, autoattack-festing trillion-HP bosses and bad rewards. GG.

I’m not sure how this could be worse, but I’m gonna do this once and go give Liadri a hug.

I really like the new crown pavillion… but where the heck is our loot?
make it farmable again =)

oh did they nerf it?

they totally destroyed it… don’t see a reason to play it tbh….

Well if there is one thing Anet knows how to do it is destroy good things and make them worse.

DR, PvP “revamp”, World bosses, megaservers, WvW, loot… at least they are consistent I guess…

Well make sure to complete the LS achievements in the next few days before it’s empty.

Whats the incentive for us to play the new update if no loot lul

Remember to use dodge food for Liadri

Whats the point of installing countless mobs/bosses if there is no loot from them?

If that’s how its going to be, i guess Ill boycot this LS too.

Each LS release, gives me another reason to step away from GW2 and find a different game to fill my time. Its times like these, as a player, I wish I had finical pull against the gaming company. Some of these decisions they are going with make 0 sense.

I’ll wait for the Guild Wars 1 team to come back and show them how it’s done.

If you’re going to compete with other MMOs, make sure you do something BETTER and not WORSE!

ArenaNet have no idea what they are doing. There is no incentive or reward for somethings. We don’t expect exotics flying, but when things drop NOTHING you can’t feel good about what you just spent time doing.

11 days for WildStar.

My party has already abandoned this event, its as waste of time, no loot, bla why bother, im just waiting for the blog post now to say, NEW AWESOME stuff in the GEM store, or maybe buy your GIFT of LOOT today only 20,000 gems and will make loot drop for 1 hour,

The 1 thing people have always said is the lack of rewards, this shows it, I would love to know if the Chinese version of this game got that same NO LOOT drop update we just got.

Well… Crown Pavillion already empty it’s a absolute failure…

Yeah this is ridiculous. I’ve never been so disappointed in this game. The gold sink for content is a horrible horrible means of sadistically forcing players to spend harder than ever to find gold to play the game.

Pavilion no longer drops loot. What’s the point again? I mean really? It’s like going to work and not getting a paycheck.

Also the bazaar is now scales you to level 16 so any drops you get there are crap too.

In addition I see I wasted all that bank space (and bought more just like they wanted) for blade shards to turn in for green piece of equipment or better (which you know how RNG is in this game).

I give up.

its odd for them to have no rewards system at all for it. maybe its bugged?

That is what Im thinking.

our reward for that long, boring, lootless dredge of hitting one and particle effects

someone in map thought you get ten champ chests for gold completion, aka teq/wurm-level coordination for a tiny, generic reward

the loot in this game is already bland…. why do you guys want more of it?

they need to fix the itemization…

It doesn’t matter if this new Crown Pavillion stuff actual drops loot…. THE LOOT SUCKS. Period.

Everywhere you go its the same, you see exact the same rewards. Buncha greens/blues. the occasional yellows. And ofc tokens! to get the flavor of the month skin.
The loot in general is just absolutely abysmal and uncreative.

There is no specific place to farm for anything. Everything drops everywhere… yawn….
You are already in endgame gear by lvl 80…whats the point of loot now?? oh work towards skins I guess….

Can’t wait for wildstar to come out

Sounds like a bug to me. Any npc fight should drop at least some loot. As with any patch, the final form never seems to hit until a few days after the first released patch.

Gotta love the extreme lack of patience shown by players in this forum…..less than 1 hour after initial patch and players already saying, ’that’s it, I give up’……lol

You would think people would learn by now that the initial patches are rarely the finished product that evolves a few days later. (Seems that way for almost every mmo out there.)

I would say it is a bug too. No reward at all? That just cannot be intentional.

I really hope for their sake that this is a bug !
Flooding people with ever changing, useless, boring, scrappy, laggy events is one thing, but consumming players time for nothing, is an insult from the developpers to the players, plain and simple !
Arenanet should really ask itself what on earth are they doing, but i can assure them that is not a fun game anymore if you keep bashing mobs for nothing !!!! Loot is at the heart of this kind of game, if it was not there wouldn’t be so much ban, bug exploits, gold selling … No loot, no game, sad to teach that to Mike O’brien.
That’s like playing soccer without any goal … what the hell did you think when “developping” “this”…
Yeah right a chest within a chest into a bag that gives 2 greens and some dusty dejection.

ridiculous

i see, so you get that for each event? how valuable are the festival tokens

Must be a bug but need Dev confirmation….

The way point still costs coin to reset, however the loot is non-existent. Basically dying is a losing proposition; I got a bronze just to try it out and now I’m gonna see if they have butchered the sanctum.

Agreed in all honesty and farming solo isn’t worth it anymore. Aside from the drops being poor you have to deal with the anti-botting measures. For the first ten minutes farming solo I get 0 drops. Then ten minutes of mediocre drops before DR sets in and the drops stop completely.

I also hope this is a bug. I looked forward to the farming….

No reason to play it at all. Did the much hyped “boss blitz” and out of all of it got a total of 3 greens.

No, that was what we got for the whole six-legendary-boss event that took 45 minutes with a full map.

The mobs also yield no experience, like all other mobs that don’t drop loot. So it seems to be by design, and not a bug.

Pull your heads out people, this is clearly a bug.

I’m not even a farmer, but holy cow how can ANet expect people to do the crap they pump out if they receive barely anything more than a couple of greens and a blue.

Was super excited for the return, but they removed everything fun about it and there is next to no incentive for anybody to do it.

The state of the game currently is “farm gold, buy T6 off TP that bots have farmed” because there is no feasible way for an average player to get such items themself.

Once again, WildStar in 11 days.

It’s a disaster. This was a great place before, with different buffs for different bosses, lot’s of t6 mats for legendaries.

Now it’s terrible! Why would anyone spend 30 minutes killing bosses with millions of hit points if they cant expect a rare at the end?

Epic fail Anet.

Split the zerg up so they don’t scale so much?

LOL – This was the part of the event I was looking forward to. I guess I’ll just continue to do World Bosses and level other characters.

The only thing i looked forward to in this “new” (reused) patch was the Farm place, But we did it again…. Nothing(literately NOTHING!) drops loot, the only loot that drops is tickets, or tokens, (very few of em) And its all wrapped in a “event” and the end reward of 30+min work is: Hold on to your seats!!!! 2Champ bags and a green item….

Just wow… You even need to PAY gold/Silver to get the event to start….

Seriously What in the ****… At least make it worth while…?

I really needed some gold, Back to my old ways it is, Time to abandon the patch and play as i always did, Zerg farm EotM…

GG-WP

Very disappointing, Never really had much problems with patches b4 , but this… I… I’m … I don’t even know…

I understand its to keep stuff balanced (Cough T6 mats last year*Cough*) But NOTHING at all?!

I will wait a few days(possibly a week or two) before I pass rash judgement on this patch. (As I do with all patches)

We went from terrible rewards to paying for no rewards.

Sounds like a step in the right direction.

It’s the same dumb zerg-fest, but without the important ingredient – positive reinforcement via LOOT!

Just spent a half hour earning 3 greens and a vicious claw. Not going back.

I swear, the most common complaint I must hear from the GW2 community is “I’m mad that ArenaNet removed this stupidly exploitative farming method”. Why do people keep expecting them to stay?

Why would people expect players to play an MMO without drops?

probably because most of the long term goals are based on gold, so when they nerf any revenue, its essentially making people feel like they are farther from thier goals.

Look on the bright side – T6 Mats should not drop in value

You don’t have to pay to start boss blitz. You pay to hasten it’s starting.

Personally, I say no drops is better than the economic disaster caused by last year’s Crown Pavilion. The lack of experience gain, however, I do have a problem with.

NOTHING? I fully expected a well-deserved nerf, but… NOTHING but the champ bags?

Back to farming chickens, then.

Boss Blitz is a very weird event, I do wonder how it came about.

Rest of the update is great though.

This raises a problem, see the reason CP was so packed last year was because of the farm, the farmers came there to farm and in turn aided in completion. That is not offered this time, meaning far less people and harder to complete events.

I believe this is how Anet wants the entire game to be. Where the only method of obtaining things is through real cash purchase. Get used to this, more is probably coming soon.

You will reward the company that did what you rightly complain about by… giving them MORE money?
