Guild Wars 2

Okay, so you make the area effective level 80.. I take a lower level toon in because of that, and what happens, the chest at the end gives me level 62 garbage while people around me are getting THE LEGEND?!

After 3 hours of fighting and loving it the battle, I am fuming for getting shafted on that. I would have just taken a level 80 character.

Three hours of “yes, Anet has saved the day!”

and now.. PHHHTH.

They got the precursor, not the legendary. There is still a lot of work to do to turn it into the legendary (though getting the precursor is a huge chunk of it).

It is reasonable. You can’t just hit two birds with one stone. Leveling your toon while receiving the same reward as a level 80 is not some sort of privilege. Besides, even with the side-kicking system, you are weaker, deal much less damage, contribute less, die more easily and might have wasted many hands trying to rezz you but got to be killed themselves. The side-kicking is for those who does not have a level 80 yet.

Edit: Precursor for non-level 80s or even trial account is a joke. They need to code things more carefully.

They got lucky. Other 80’s were less lucky. It’s the precursed RNG system Anet needs to address.

It does punish players who like to have a lot of alts as opposed to just focusing on a single main, however. We put in as much time and energy into the game as the next guy (and arguably we contribute more to ANet’s coffers considering we have to buy all those extra character slots!), but we get lesser rewards out of it.

I went into this event expecting as much so I’m not that disappointed, but I sympathise completely with my fellow altoholics.

What annoys me more than the loot issue is just the fact that not all my stats were scaled. Why not?

I will only believe that someone without lvl 80 got a precursor if I see it, I don’t even agree with this events being open to people without the right lvl, most of them weren’t helping at all, not because they didn’t help but because they died too fast, most where naked by the time the chain got to the 2nd part of the event lol

It’s not somebody’s fault if they don’t have the time to reach lvl 80…it’s Anet’s fault for not fully scaling stats.

Even as a level 24 I got two level 80 exotic items: the earring and the 20-slot bag, and they’re account-bound so I got two very nice prizes I can give to one of my 80s.

That’s an unfair assumption. Most of my guildies were level 80, but they got killed repeatedly due to extreme lag. “Guys, I’m lagging again. Wha- Oh great, I’m down, no wait, I’m dead. Again.” You can’t dodge karka death rolls when things are so bad that your auto-attacks don’t even seem to be connecting. My character was only level 40, yet I only had 4 damaged armors by the end of the event despite being there from start to finish and contributing all the way.

And some people just removed all their armor because they didn’t want to get stuck with the repair costs. Silly decision, in my opinion, but I can understand why they did it.

It may be, but it’s also unfair for others that wan’t to do the events when most of the time they are “rezing” people. I agree that most of the deaths came from the laggy servers but players still don’t understand that up-scaled characters aren’t real lvl80 (just like in wvw unfortunately), their stats aren’t on par to a real lvl80 with rare or exotic gear. This should be addressed by ANet in the future.
