Are champs any better?
Orr and Queensdale are absolutely full of zergs farming champs. Yes, it’s worth it to kill them.
The highest price for one of the new champ exotics is about 300 gold right now. It’s worth it. I was wandering around Queensdale today doing balloons and came across the spider champ. People were camping it Everquest style. It was awesome
I noticed today, when I killed the champ spider in Queensdale, I only got a chest on the first kill. Does that mean you only have a shot at the new champ weapons on the spider once per day?
You get a bag every time you kill a champion. So far, each of my bags have contained karma (drips), a random green/rare, t5 mats, a t6 mat, lodestones/cores/slivers/etc., or a skill point. While not awesome, it’s far far far far better than what it used to be. You can also get exotic things, including the new skins, if you’re lucky.
Totally worth the hassle of killing champions now.

Awesome. Thanks for the clarification!
Not really if you like Gauntlet tickets and many green items then yes, outside of that no its still terrible RNG and mostly trash rewards.
Should have been guaranteed t6 and lodestones imo.

IT WAS!!! .. T6 and lodestones or cores.. BUT! they quickly passed through some updated to Nerf it back to T5+T6+junk and then nerf it again to Normal, Rare, Exotic bags lol
They were ALL exotic.. before the nerfs people were going CRAZY for them and T6 mats HALFED on the TP
Also there were on average 50 Champs ( mostly Champion centaurs ) in the arena .. now hardly any.

Worth killing? Yes.
Worth soloing? No.

do exotic skins drop from the champion itself or come from exotic grade lootbags?
any answer on this i would appreciate. I did get a Crystal guardian exotic but i dont remember if it dropped from champion or from the lootbag that the champion dropped.

Somehow I am not surprised that this was the gimmick Anet would use for this patch. Make it seem amazing, then nerf the crap out of it. Make a change to loot, let the word get out “Anet brought loot back, come play again!”, then revert back to garbage.

^This… it’s just another powerball lottery and those people who are farming them will start to dwindle soon enough (except in Queensdale where they were doing this 24/7 even before Champs dropped Coffers/backpacks)

This I disagree with….
Guaranteed Lodestones or even Cores is way too much. But guaranteed Slivers and Shards that could be crafted into Cores & Lodes wouldn’t be asking too much. And to improve Story-Dungeon participation, they could have “Binding Agents” randomly pop from those Chests. (and the champs guarding them). Infact ALL dungeon Elite trash mobs could also stand to have their Tables improved as well with more crafting stuff like Elonian Wine, Thread, and (very rarely:) Runes of Holding.
