Guild Wars 2

Thank you for revealing the contents of the hoard.
Thank you very much.
(It would have been great to know the contents of the first WvW season reward too.)

it must be a bug you cant seriusly getting 1 of each

This is just like those bags of gold that used to give a few copper….that’s perfectly within ArenaNet’s idea of “good loot”.

1 champion gives better rewards than this lol

I wasn’t even one of the people who said that ascended materials as a reward were totally pointless, and even I am disappointed. What is happening here? =C

You should probably read the chest reward again.

Those are finished products, not 1 dust etc.

So its 100 dusts, 100 dragonite and 100 fragments and some obsidian shards.

=/ maybe its just me but the game is rapidly going down hill and even if its 100 of each material… lets see 100 dust take about 5mins to get 100 dragonite take maybe 15-20mins to get and 100 fragements take maybe 1hr or 2 max. I am not impressed with any of this update so far. In fact the more I think about it the more upset I feel.

What are you doing to get 100 dragonite in 15-20 min?

I think possibly this is due to many players simply opting out of FoTM entirely. If the was too good players would scream, “forced content”. They could have attached a skin to the loot but it is hard to say how that would have gone over considering they do that every month (and in 2 weeks well likely see lots of skins). The rewards are generally skills and sometimes a title but rarely are they that good. The most appealing part of LW is the AP you’ll get for completing the achievements.

I think a title would have been fair.

Actually, maybe a title that can be achieved again, next time new fractals are added (sort of like the SAB titles). That would’ve worked for me.

As if the rewards couldn’t get any worse…. haha.

That’s possible if you do Orr temple events, dragon events, golem mk2, flame shaman.

Depends on timing though.

The star and ingot are actually a pretty good reward considering all you have to do is run the fractals normally. How much did you guys want for the rewards? This is so much better than a silly back item.

One of each refined is not as good as 100 of each raw because you lose the crafting exp value of the materials (which you’ll need for ascended armor no doubt.)

It saves you 30 thermo reagents and 6 obsidian shards. Not a bad deal in my mind.

It also “saves” you the crafting progress you would have gotten, which is more valuable to me than the finished item.

Had they given 100 of each people would be up in arms about how they should have just been the finished products and how it was costing us money. ANet really can never win on these forums.

“Hoard” of materials indeed. Don’t they feel stupid for such a statement? Because I would.

The developers stated that it wasn’t supposed to be a big reward/meta grind this time, but more of an ‘introduction to’ for the newer players.

A better way of introducing new players to the ascended mats would be to give them five of each, to give new players, as well as returning players, a good head start in making their first Ascended Weapon.

One of each…well it’s kind of a slap to the face, honestly.

crap reward. not going to entice me to do fractals at all. Feels lazy.

I understand why. Not everyone is going to do fractals, and not everyone likes them so put in a reward you won’t be sad if you miss. Still…

No kidding. Dunno when it was that “a few” was redefined into “a hoard”.

It takes much longer to finish the meta achievement than to farm these materials by their conventional means.

How truly awful. Perhaps they should look up the definition of the word Hoard.
