Guild Wars 2

While I was exploring every Nook and Cranny of Orr, I stumble upon the out reach of Machlor Leap where fishes are just lining up screaming to be kill.

Hmm could already do the same in Southsun Cove. Do these Risen fish also drop Heavy Moldy Bags? If they do it would make them better than Southsun.

You just had to post it? Next thing you know anet has nerfed it.

I like that spot, it’s so spooky.

There’s another one in Cursed Shore. Also many scorpions, including a veteran, and a scary huge champion deep underwater. I like to swim around there, the atmosphere is awesome.

This. Exactly. Or: (putting my tinfoil hat on) you want Anet to nerf this area so that the price of armored scales (which you no doubt have stockpiled) will go up

In b4 nerf.

Some of you never kittening learn do you? Don’t share. Keep your mouth shut or it gets removed.

Gotta love people that try to hide stuff from developers. So funny

For good reason.

I don’t think anyone is trying to hide anything from devs. Rather, if you tell other players your great farming spot, then it will fill up with players: that’s what leads to the inevitable nerfs.

And why would those players fill it? Isn’t it because it gives a disproportionate amount of loot that should be fixed?

No, they would fill it because ANET have nerfed pretty much every other open world spot of any value into oblivion.

The loot/reward system in this game is generally totally borked.

The loot/reward is actually great, unless you want to acquire abnormally high amounts of loot in a very short time.

If you play the game normally, you’ll get tons of stuff. If you try to farm, you’ll never get enough.

Yeah, it’s great that the ability to loot materials has been nerfed to kitten whilst you can farm a disproportionate (“abnormally high”) amount of gold via CoF1. It’s just so amazingly consistent and does wonders for the economy.

It’s so great in fact that ANET are actively looking to overhaul the system.

Blind Pew could see that the time/reward system in the game is out of whack and that CoF1 is out of whack. The whole reward set up has been in dire need of an overhaul for a good while now and the current model is as far from “great” as you can possibly get.

Nerfing CoF is of lower priority than farming mats, and that’s even IF it’s necessary.

All that farming CoF does is increase inflation. There have to be some mats to buy with all that gold, and if you balance mat spots, all that gold farming becomes pointless.

Inflation isn’t a minor thing, at all. Nor are massive disparities like the ones we see in game at the moment. You can’t cite disparities as an issue and then try and gloss over the games biggest one in terms of rewards.

The reward system is broken, hopefully we will see some pointers towards it being fixed (or at least some consistency) when the blog hits in a week or so.

The thing is, inflation is going to happen anyway. The availability of mats, on the other hand, is fixable and can regulate inflation itself.

Inflation is inevitable, so let’s have certain systems massively out of whack with everything else, who cares!!!

Nerfing CoF is not what is needed and it is certainly far from the only issue with regards to loot/rewards in the game. An overhaul of the entire reward system to remove (major) disparities, more effectively reward time and effort and to redress supply issues is what is needed.

Whether the blog will point to any of that happening… well that is another matter.

i checked out the spot and i dont think its productive farming because the respawn rate of the mobs is too long. I spent 20 minutes there and got 4 armored scales, 1 powerful blood and 1 unidentified dye.

Isn’t this out of bounds? I’ve done a lot of “exploring” in Malchor’s Leap in my day.

How’s the profit compared to Southsun?

It’s no more profitable than any other current “farming” spot. I got about the same killing risen in cursed shore.

I say " farming" because “farming” doesn’t exist anymore… Anet is just going to give us legendary’s upon character creation soon.

But….since some of you used the word “farm spot” to describe the location I can guarantee you that Anet will sneak in a little patch to remove those mobs but later say that “nothing has changed”.

“Play the way you want to play” my kitten!

Some of you never kittening learn do you? Don’t share. Keep your mouth shut or it gets removed.

This, a thousand times. If you find a farm spot, keep it to yourself, or your friends, but for kittens sake don’t tell Anet!

Any evidence at all that CoF is actively harming the economy, or are you just hollering things out of proportion. Reminds me, if your going to put definitions in parenthesis like we are all idiots at least put the right one, thanks!

Well, now I know which place is going to be nerfed next!

It’s not going to get nerfed, enough with the drama.

Actually, they never do till things get popular. It’s not Big Brother, they got more kitten to do.

You must not know how much Anet hates us farmers…any drama is well warranted.

Is it just me or did they move the bounds? I cannot seem to get there anymore.

I tried to get there and couldn’t. I could see the jellyfish but was pushed back.

I would be curious to know if OP can still get there.

I think the major reason for farming nerfs to specific areas is because of botting that eventuates there that they can’t detect so they just nerf the spot instead.

You can still get there.

definitely been changed, I can’t get anywhere near it. stealth nerfed

The difference is, this area is out of bounds and totally unintended.

Kain Francois.4328:

it’s technically not out of bounds. there is a path you can take to get there. you can swim right up to them easily enough. it’s not like you’re glitching to get out of the map.

Just because there is a path to get there doesn’t necessarily means it’s legit. Just because early FoTM had a path into the “Fractal Limbo”/Dev Zone doesn’t make it legit either.

If you swim outside the area, doesn’t it take you to a void rather than giving a strong current notification? That would imply it is out of bounds.

Not to mention, it’s quite glitchy. I remember when going there once, I was suddenly warped underneath the Straits portal, into the underwater void below Malchor’s Leap.

The part I saw was open water. How did you find a path in open water? Did you just swim along the boundary until you found a hole in it?

it’s still in open water. i just swam until the current didnt push me back. theres quite a few spots you can swim through. if you put 10 minutes into it you can find a path pretty easily.

Don’t worry….. DR will hit you in 20 minutes.

nerfed! 141% mf and no armoured scale, just large scales, a few heavy loot bags and 3-4 kite fortunes.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.

Might be good for farming kite fortunes.

Good work anet ninjas.
