Guild Wars 2

I just knew that when they went to splitting the one gold a day from the chest, that the additional chances for rares were as dismal as before, sure enough, additional chests yield garbage as before. Why did they have to remove the increased % chance of getting rares from the original chest? Now there is virtually zero chance of getting more than one gold per chest per day. As usual, they have managed to nerf / ruin a good thing, so really I am not at all surprised. The only good thing this patch offered me is that, now I can finally hear my chainsaw again, because it was mega-nerfed last time.
With this game, it’s best to expect disappointment, that way, it doesn’t come as that great of a shock!

Am sorry i have no idea what you are talking about open 7 chests today and got a total of 16 rares not including the 100% chance ones

They gave plenty of warning they were changing the way chests dropped. They explicitly said that after this patch, you would get one chest per account per day per dragon that had a guaranteed rare. Everything else was back to being random, with a chance of further rares but no guarantee.

You’re complaining about something they announced weeks ago.

IMO they balanced it after they let it compensate the prior situation a little, but of course I wasn’t bugged out and have been getting acceptable drops since day 1.

Each mega boss now spawns two chests. The original large chest as well as a smaller one. The smaller one will only spawn once per day per mega boss for your account.

The normal large chest went back to the old drop rates. The new smaller one has the guaranteed rare.

So effectively your account can get one guaranteed rare from each boss per day.

Effectively you can get one guaranteed rare per boss per day would be more accurate wouldn’t it?

Assuming the normal chest RNG doesn’t come out in your favour and reward you well correct?

I admit I could be off my game today a little and missing something.

The normal chest droprate was not nerfed.
This is another x-files level conspiracy theory.

(…here’s hoping I don’t have to explain what I did there)

So your sample size is…..1, 2, 3 maybe 5 boss chests since the patch
We get it – you had a bad RNG.. get over it and move on.. self entiltement doesnt work well in MMO’s.. increased chance does not mean you guarantee yourself anything, its still just a roll of the dice. As for doing away with the ridiculous loot drop change from boiss events, im all peachy on it … now players might have to go find something else to do rather than camping dragon events over and over for their Ecto supplements
