Guild Wars 2

Its starting to annoy me now because i have done the dungeon 30+ times and not a single exotic! yet my friend has ran it half the amount of time and he has got 4 exotics. i swear why am i getting punished for playing the game! atleast turn of DR for the mad king dungeon. I think the reason my DR triggered is because i was farming at Temple of lyssa an hour before release but that shouldnt be the case, i should be getting loot for playing the game. If this DR carries on, bye bye Gw2.

The chest in the mad king instance isn’t affected by DR; you just have kitten luck.

Stop crying for loot, it’s just luck. I’ve got mostly greens and also did plenty of runs. You are not guaranteed to get anything from it…it’s RNG. If everyone and their mom got something worth 10g+ every few runs then they wouldn’t cost 10g+…don’t you think?

DR doesn’t apply on the chest (as in armor/weapon rarity), I did the dungeon pretty much on repeat because of the ton of dungeon influence our guild was getting and eventually I got an exotic out of the chest even though the pop up reward was at the lowest. If it were that DR did apply I would’ve gotten only whites by that time.

obviously it is because its definately effecting me, 30+ runs and no good loot, how dare you!

You should send Anet a ticket asking them to mail you a couple of items, and also a few thousand gems because you should have got rich by doing the dungeon.

As others have stated, chests are not effected by DR.

Random is Random.

If you want to improve your luck, stack MF.

Chance will always be chance and involve luck if you want something specific.
Even with 50% drop chance it’s still possible to not get an item in 100+ attempts. Not very likely but very possible.

MF doesn’t really help much on chests imo, i never noticed the difference on MF opening chests so far :O

RNG is RNG, news at 11.

Chests are mainly luck based. Maybe if you have more Magic find, it might help your chances. And thats one spoiled and petty reason to rage quit a game.

I wonder if the kobold burglar can drop from the chest. Would be hilarious chasing him up and down the chains :-P

Rng is Random, tell us something we don’t know.

to quote a great line in Tomestone…

“Well… Bye.”

This is the same idea as the inevitable thread that comes after every update: “Mystic Forge nerf?!?!?!?!” RNG is RNG. Enough people play the game that SOMEONE will get lucky or unlucky, assume everyone is experiencing the same, and post a complaint. Now I’m not saying they shouldn’t. We do need to confirm after all that it is an isolated incident. However phrasing it as an attack on the game and refusing to believe other people’s accounts is unreasonable. It happens way too often. (If you don’t believe me look through the forums for mystic forge nerf and check the dates of the original posts)

I opened 2000+ ToT bags, and no endless tonic. I’ve done the MK dungeon 6 times, and gotten The Crossing and Arachnophobia. Luck is luck. +the end chest is NOT affected by DR, only the popup reward with ToT bags.

bye bye Sef. Don’t let the DR hit you on the way out

Chest isn’t affected by diminishing returns? Wow, the turn of the chest versus the cost of the time spent in that dungeon is totally worth it then. Not sure why people are complaining about it especially with the amount of time it takes to complete regular explorable dungeons.

Not only is the chest not affected by DR, the halloween mobs and the mad king himself aren’t affected by DR. I ran the dungeon 26 times in a row yesterday with the only break being when the server died. I got 3 of my exotics between runs 20-24 and the only rare I ever got was off the Mad King himself on run 25. Every run I walk away with 4-10 trick or treat bags from the door mobs in the beginning.
