Guild Wars 2

The hit off the topic

1 person bought the remaining 5 frostfang precursors and tried to sell 1 at 800g, afterwards he is trying to improve the bid prices by placing 4-5 bids of 550-570g (I went into a bidding war for about 30 minutes constantly replacing my bids because I got outbidded in 5-10 seconds every time).

Please make precursor crafting possible asap so me and other players dont have to deal with this nonsense.

I’ll even give you a good idea: start of by receiving a mail from Dessa, saying she found a place where old champions compete in an eternal battle or whatever and wants us to check it out. Let players than choose their enemy, every boss has different tactics (I really don’t mind Liadri difficulty for these kind of fights) and drops a different broken precursor that we need to repair/infuse afterwards. The start of the repair process would require 250 globs of dark matter (nice exotic drain from the tp), 2x 10 deldrimor/spiritwood/elonian leather of the normal weapons components to craft. Put that stuff in the mystic hole of horrors and let zomorros work his magic. But oh noes something went wrong, the weapon isn’t attuned to this world anymore. The weapon hungers for blood, slay 500 of undead for dusk/dawn/the legend, 500 icebrood for tooth of frostfang, 500 bandits/centaurs for the energizer. When this is done players need to go to their respective dungeon (the tokens that are needed for the legendary) and infuse the weapon there at a newly introduced altar (or disco club for the energizer/chaos gun).

Its pure nonsense what I wrote above but its a quest to make, drains the TP, sends players to the dungeons they need to do for their legendary and puts them in a place they need to kill mobs (simple map completions would be enough to get those 500 kills or get close to it). Making the crafted precursor account bound would not hurt either since pretty much everyone that begs for crafted precursors want to make them for themselves and not its retail value. But please make precursors craftable, anything is better than to see those ridiculous prices and speculators reaping gold. The rich becomming richer, the poor becomming poorer.

ANY info about crafted precursors would be nice by now, its been about 9 months since it was brought up by the august 2013 forcast feature update but NOTHING at all has been released about it ever since beside that Anet is hardly working at this feature.

The last thing the said about it was that it was further delayed due to the feature patch and upcoming changes to how they’re handling horizontal progression. In other words, you won’t be seeing craftable precursors for another ~6 months. Personally, I think they’ll never make precursors craftable and instead, change how legendaries are made for the second series.

This is never coming. Another white lie.

First it was end of year 2013. Then it was bumped until early 2014. Now, its being bumped again for the feature patch. Granted, feature patch is putting some much needed things into the game…some of which was asked for repeatedly since launch. But the scavenger hunt is a hot topic and they keep bumping it back.

Pro tip: Stop working on Living Story. Throw those guys onto the scav hunt dev. Quit investing all of your time in the LS. If you don’t have the man power to get the scav hunt out in time, then maybe youre putting too much stock into other areas, like LS.
