Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been trying to get my equipment infused, but it has proven impossible. I have not gotten a single drop of ANY mist essence items in over a month. No vials, no globs, and I haven’t even tried to go to the higher fractal areas for shards because of my very low Agony Resistance. It took me about 4 months to get enough mist essence to to make globs and a shard to infuse ONE ring. That is all I have, one infused ring. The rest of my ascended equipment were not drops. I had to buy them with relics and laurels. I’m currently at fractal lvl 20, and have been staying in the 10s just so I’m not destroyed by Agony. I gotta tell you guys, doing fractals over and over and having next to nothing to show for it is horrible. Your game’s RNG is sadistic.

I hereby offer the suggestion to make it so that players can purchase vials, globs, and shards with relics, or even pristine relics, or ectos, or obby shards, or any combination thereof, because over a month without anything dropping is far too cruel. Or even make a mystic forge recipe to make mist essence from scratch. At least there is a sure way to get ectos and obby shards and relics, and if I put that much time and effort into something, I think I deserve to be able to purchase or make what I need. It’s like going to work and not getting paid, or getting pain in a dead currency.

I don’t expect to get sympathy or free vials mailed to me, I simply ask that you make it so that there is a guaranteed way to get these things, because with RNG some people will NEVER get what they want/need no matter how many times they try.

OK, so you play in levels 1-19. And you need 45 AR for that?

You have two rings, one infused. That’s 15 AR. Well, get some challenge and play in 20+. With 15 you are supposed to play in 20-29…

See this page to have more info about how much you exactly need : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Agony_Resistance

low agony resist isnt a problem as long as you can dodge and have people who can res you at maw
- ive had quite a few smooth runs with people who get killed by maw every time he agonies everyone

… also mist stuff becomes useless after a while…

You two clearly missed the point of my post. It’s not that I am having a hard time playing in Fractals, it’s that the drop rate for the vials/globs/shards is horrible, and those items are required for some infusions, without which I will be perpetually stuck in the lower level fractals.

Ascended rings do not come with Agony resistance by default, you have to infuse them to get any AR at all. So I only have 10 AR, not 15. And it’s not that I need 45 AR for 10-19, it’s that eventually there will be a need for me to have that much AR, but I cannot get that much AR to progress without those darn vials/globs/shards.

Yes, I’m aware that until they add more recipes to infuse the rest of the ascended equipment, the mist stuff doesn’t have much use. You’ve been fortunate enough to get so many of those to drop for you. I have gotten NONE in over a month. THAT is the issue I’m presenting. Please fully understand the issue I’m presenting before you post a reply, you’ve been no help so far

Would definitely support Mist Essence being purchasable via Laurels as well.

any rings from 26+ dailies are infused anyway

i havent been fractalling for long; but already i have more than i can use

please tell me you arent trying to farm vials? at 20+ you get shards; which can be downgraded (its 2.3 shards per infuse (well; 2 shards 1 glob))
