Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

I’ve been farming fractal’s 40/49 dailies for a while now, and had the luck to drop a couple of those weapon chests. Now, that would be awesome if only the stats combo weren’t total crap. With my group we seem to get mostly shaman/magi which are completly useless, and I have all classes at 80, so I’m not being really picky.

Either let us chose the stat-combo we need when we open them, or let us salvage them into deldrimor/damascus/elonian/spiritwood, since these chests aren’t exactly easy to drop.

Thanks

There was a data mined ascended chest from the Fractured update, the description read that you could choose the stats.
Based off this I’d say they’ve considered implementing it already and plan to do so, or feel that the luck of the draw should remain, such as everything else in this game.

The drop rate would have to be severely nerfed to be able to choose the stats.

A very rare, 41+ only drop as an extra item, leaving the stat specific one in, would be fine though.

ascended drop rate is terrible enough so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Still far too good to let someone choose their stats.

There is a way to choose you stats….. its called crafting.
If it was easy everyone would do it

I run 36 and 49 daily and ive gotten 2 chests… in over a month… and they were both cavalier stats, which arent bad.

1 fractal weapon

30 rings.

They need to drop the rings from higher levels. Ive never seen an earring drop, and an ascended armor box drop once

I have yet to drop an armor chest, I agree with Swagger. Drop rate is pretty terrible so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I fail to see your point. If it was easy everyone would do what? We are talking about pure rng – account bound – not salvageable items so I don’t understand how you think this could be spoiled.

Crafting indeed is there, as well as the last 300+ posts of complaints about it on this forums. I don’t mind it tho, but I think it’s expensive enough, as well as time gated. So I don’t really understand why we shouldn’t have a chance to actually use an item on some alt if we are lucky enough to drop a chest, or at least allowed to break it into some ascended materials.

As for me, I’d rather have a smaller chance to get them but not ever trash a single piece, instead of the current system.
