Guild Wars 2

Love the fights, really do. But I’ve nearly stopped going to them all entirely. Won’t bother with jormag. The time reward ratio is kittened. There is no built in warning system ingame of when a dragon has landed and worse yet, the rewards hardly, if at all, cover the cost of simply TRAVELING there. God forbid you arrive early and don’t want to wait.

I’ve acquired more oranges, pre cursers included, from dungeons which take a small fraction of the time.

So I’m basically opting out of showing up at all til they’re worth my time.
I’m not suggesting you drop an orange from the chest for each kittener who shows up, no. I’m asking if you could make the table just a tiny bit better. Possibly a 100% chance rare for EACH player who shows up plus rng 3-4 items, this would be a simple fix to a nasty issue without changing the spawn timers (which wouldn’t fix the issue at all)

Not only would this cover travel costs, but it would also bring more attention to more interesting fights such as balthazar, melandru.. destroyer kitten Love the game but the large chest events are just a waste of time. If you take all the time lost dicking around waiting for some kittener to land I would have been able to BUY another precurser or two.

BBL a THIRD PARTY WEBSITE says jormag will land in the next 52 minutes………………………… once he’s put his make up and all.

Sweet, sweet blues…
Yes, the chests need to give better items.

I say make the Claw’s chest be guaranteed to give one exotic and one rare, with Tequatl’s and the Shatterer’s giving just the rare (in addition to the non weapon/armor stuff they currently have, like jewels and such).

Maybe increase their respawn timers by a couple hours in response, if necessary, but this would definitely make them worthwhile.

they will only increase drops from chest if absolutely everyone abandon dragon, so stop doing them completely until they remove those amazing blue/green ****.

If the ’’rewards’’ you get from fighting a dragon ‘hardly/if at all’ cover the cost of travel there, you’re doing something terribly, terribly wrong. How about doing something for the enjoyment of it, rather than just the ‘loot’?
You just seemingly want a material reward for your ‘effort’.

I couldn’t disagree with this idea more.

I agree. I used to love doing all the dragons, and would pay attention to the spawn timers so I can be a part of them. Then when I calculated how much money I had to spend just travelling to the zone, compared to how much I make selling back all the stupid blues, then the cost of travelling BACK to where I originally was at, it just wasn’t worth it. I think 1 guaranteed Rare is fair, as selling that one item would cover the cost of travel there and back. Everything else you sell is just extra, which would make it worthwhile to attend.

Yet….now that I think about it, being level 80, fully geared out, even if it dropped a rare each round, I still don’t think I would make it a point to go and participate. Jormag better drop some better loot than that. Maybe 15-20% chance to drop exotic, 80% chance to drop rare, 100% chance for greens/blues, 100% chance to drop 25-50 rare ore, Cloth or Leather items, .5% chance to drop mini-Jormag pet, 50% chance to drop Black Lion Keys, etc.
