Guild Wars 2

After the fractorials came out, I have been doing it and managed to get to fotm 21 but how is it possible that i have done at least 7 fotm 10+ dailes and not a single ring drop. I have some how managed to get to fotm 21 and still have no ring drops for me. How is it possible to continue from there on when the agony caused to me is twice as painful as before? Is this even fair to players like us who spent so much time playing GW2 and yet others can by fotm 15 get like 3-4 rings. How are you as the developers suppose to make the game fair, when there are those super lucky players and players who dont get drops at all even though they invest more time into the game as compared to the the lucky ones?

RNG, much like life, is not fair.

Rushed, gated content like this exists only to drive people into grinding each day. Afterall, people that play everyday are more likely to buy gems than those that don’t.

To offer a solution to your problem I’d recommend getting another character to rank 10 and preforming the tier 2 daily on as many different characters as often as possible so you can have extra chances at rings. Who know how long it will take for the devs to decide they’ve squeezed enough out of the player base and to patch in a guaranteed drop/change the vendor, they could certainly hotfix it immediately if they chose to, but since this issue doesn’t result in players ammassing wealth (which they can use to buy gems instead of real cash) it will sit on the back burner until the wintersday update or longer.

Of course since it’s RNG determined you may not get anything at all, at the least you’ll get fractal relics that you can use to buy a backpack.

I’m in the same boat OP. I’m also at FotM 21 but never gotten a ring yet. I have done loads of lvl 10+ Fractals but nothing. Most of the people in my party & guild got multiple rings doing half the runs I did. Something is not right here. The agony in 20+ is crazy without a ring, thus continuing is extremely hard now.

FIX THIS ANET.

I’m on my 12th dailiy for level ten rings and still no drop! I feel like giving up. Everyone else keeps spamming them in chat when they get thiers and I’m left to struggle with level ten some more, i could be on level 26 by now instead I am stuck around level 16.

I’m at level 24 and no rings dropped in 3 20/29 dailies and 11 10-19 dailies, I can’t even craft a back cause I lack vials…
Ok , I’m unlucky but this is Ridiculous.
Even more ridiculous: this kitten is still unfixed after almost 2 weeks.
Anet what are you doing other than nerfing everything profitable? Fixing bugs? No i don’t think so.

And consider there is also the possibility that eventually you’ll get a ring, but with stats without any use for your class or your build…

RNG is RNG, why are you guys so impatient. I assume getting rings is to progress further in the dungeon? Otherwise, I don’t know why you need it so soon. They said they’ll make more ways to get it other than the dailies/drops. Just move on and come back when it’s more available.

Partially this since Ascended is gonna be around for sometime and we’re only 2 weeks into fractals. Just keep running, but maybe with less imperative to need to climb the ladder higher and higher… if rings dropped more consistently, then you’d be swimming in them right now. As for having/not having the right stats… which is more important to progressing, the right stats or the resistance? My necro somehow managed to get a ring… not the most desirable stats, but considering it saves me a bunch from the agony dmg on the bosses, I’m sure glad I have it over my “ideal” stated exotic ring.

It is preventing advancing . At fractal 20 getting touched by agony will down and often times kill you if you dont have agony resistance. (and the previous posters have mentioned being at fractal 20)
Obviously the solution of “dont get hit” becomes much harder when agony can be applied by attacks that literally cover the entire floor, and last longer than even 2 dodge rolls. Or attacks that track you while you’re dodge rolling, forcing you to have split second timing to dodge roll right as they hit you or face annihilation.
There’s even an un-dodgeable agony during a boss fight which will down and then kill you, even if you use 4 heals during it.

On the other hand, a single RNG drop, either of a ring, or a vial (which enables you to make a backpack) can cut this damage in half

Now, could you in theory advance without 0 agony resistance? Yes. And people have. But you do so at the risk of being a burden to your team at basically every boss fight, boss fights in which you have to play essentially perfectly, as taking a single hit from them means you are downed, and in some cases instantly dead.

It’s an absolutely ridiculous system.

I´m level 3, and get 2 vials without ANY mf gear. I think you need some 4 leaf clover ou rabbit feet.

And if you don´t get the desired status of your ring just go ahead with it. In higher levels of FOTM I believe that agony resistance is better than some more power or vitality.
