Guild Wars 2

Remember the update where they said there would be a guaranteed drop from champs and all that?

Why did it still end up being blues or greens? Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to put like 1-5 t6 mats on a champ/legendary? Why did it have to be a guaranteed 1 silver lmao?

yeah the time it takes to kill a champion is longer than those big event bosses but the drops is bad.

if they had guaranteed drops people would just upscale normal events in mass numbers where champs die every 5 seconds

They did say, at the time, it would be a blue or better. Should be no surprise.

It would be nice if it was green or better, I agree, but it’s not like Champs drop something other than what we were told they would drop.

Because sure, you would only get 1-5 t6 mats but a zerg as a whole would get 50-250. Multiply that by all the champions getting killed and suddenly there’s thousands being generated every minute.

Open world drops won’t be good at an individual level until there’s an anti-zerg mechanic.

then people might actually be able to afford crafting for fun, sounds good imo

They said blue or better, champs drop this now which is better than the zero drop from 99% of them before the change was actually in game.

Yep just like the promise of getting retroed laurels for achievements already earned, I’m still waiting on this one too and it’s been months now, no word on what’s going on with it.

Some of us are still getting 0 loot from champions even greys so not sure what’s going on there either.

They never promised laurels, they said they where going to do something but never said laurels.

how about instead of blue or better for champs, it’s a random fine crafting material? (T1-T6 for all level champs, equal odds)

I’d rather see champs have a slight chance at dropping a unique weapon or armor skin — one you can’t get from any other source. Even if it’s a very slight chance, it would be more interesting than a guaranteed blue.

I was thinking about this too, have the high level champs drop X t6 mats sounds completely reasonable. For example the spider champ’s spiderlings doesn’t drop anything anymore so instead of just getting a blue from the champ, drop some mats!

What do you have against the poor champions?… the poor guys would end up like the frozen maw shaman, they’d be killed even before they had time to make their first few steps after spawning..
