Guild Wars 2

I don’t even mind the RNG when it comes to whether or not you get a weapon.

The issue for me is that if you do get a weapon, it’s probably not even one you can use.

My first fractal weapon drop came at level 26. I got a fractal pistol. Something I can use on my thief but not my main character.

Then at level 28 I got a fractal mace. Completely useless for me.

Just now I finished doing my daily level 30 run. Got a fractal rifle. Completely and totally useless for me.

So I’ve gotten 3 fractal weapons. Only one is useable, and none can be used by my main character.

I don’t get why the system for fractal rings was addressed with the system for fractal weapons completely ignored.

Because fractal weapons are only skins while the rings actually are needed for progression?

That doesn’t change that fractal weapons are still terribly implemented.

Also, rings aren’t needed for progression.

Consider yourself lucky you even got a skin. Plenty people that have been doing fractals longer have never seen one drop while rings clog their bank slots.

Like you said, they should adopt the token system with regards to the skins.

They need let us forge our non infuse rings for possibility of infuse ones or else I just got 10 non infuse just filling up my bank waiting to be destroy especially the rings I don’t need for any of my character or let us sell it to the npc vendor for fractal tokens that would be nice. Same goes for fractal weapons should give us a choice to swap for the ones you do need or else you just gona end up with 10 fractal weapons waiting to be destroy lol useless.

Really anything would be better than the current system.

You’re quite lucky to have what you’ve gotten too.

I’ve done more lev 26 and 30 runs than I care to admit to. I’ve gotten a mace.

That’s it, the mace.

Well as far as the non infused rings you do have the guaranteed recipe of

non infused ring + 5 vials + 3 glob + 1 shard = infused ring of same type.

But as for all the account bound rings with unwanted stat combinations, it would be nice to have something to do with them, I agree.

I really thought that RNG had been dropped in favor of tokens in progression style MMOs years ago. It boggled my mind to hear that GW2 had readopted such an archaic system. 0_o

I remember how terrible it was RNG grinding for Shadowcraft gear in vanilla WoW. I used to tell folks stories of that to horrify them and share with them how terrible life was pre-tokens. Looks like they are being given a chance to see how bad of a system RNG drops only can really be.

hmm i got a ring a few days ago when i was doing my monthly, i dont do fractals tbh, and it was a ring which i didnt like indeed, perhaps if i make another alt…but nah.
But i think you can already get the ring you want in ten days apparently, i just do lvl 10 when i feel..like once a week

But i didnt know theres fractals weapons…but if are just for barbie dress games, not interested…althought as a cat, i would just like to see them

any info or site where i could see all the weapons looks?

You are right it does need a revamp. May I suggest removing it all together?
Rng is rng way it goes buttercup.
