Guild Wars 2

According to the patch notes:
The Mystic Forge recipes for The Mad Moon, Arachnophobia, and The Crossing have been temporarily disabled. They will be updated and return at Halloween.

I had to save all year, ALL YEAR, ALL KITTEN YEAR for arachnophobia. I finally have all the lodestones I need and I was just starting to work on the ascalonian tears. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CHANGE THE RECIPE. Sorry for the caps but Im invested in this weapon at this point. This is not cool. The only, and I mean only thing you could do to make this ok, is keep the craftin recipe close to the same. This is like suddenly changing the recipie to craft a legendary weapon. I know since its a haloween weapon not as many will be affected but wow, you have no idea how bad you suck if you change the recipie by a wide margin.

Sell everything and buy it off the TP I guess or buy back the new mats in October? But yeah, a warning would of been cool for a weapon that requires quite a grind.

The reason they are changing it is because no one is dumb enough to actually make one when you can buy one of the dozens and dozens on the TP for 1/10 the price it takes to make it.

Wowie that sucks big time. I am so sorry for you, Savory. Hopefully they don’t screw it up too much, and then you can make it when it gets reinstated.

Very glad I hadn’t bothered with one for myself as yet though.

Except its not cheaper @ZudetGambeous.9573. I farmed all the candy corn way back in october. Didnt purchase any of it. And until recently Lodestones were Insanely expensive for a casual player. They finally get lodestones to a reasonable price and then they decide to remove and it sounds like change the recipie. F you a Anet. If you screw this up I will buy all my gold from gold sellers and never give you another dime.

Op, I know you are upset, but laying down pseudo f-bombs and threatening to use gold sellers will get you nowhere.
Keep calm & Carry on.
Lose your cool and you may see the business end of the ban-hammer.

Was Anet in the wrong for springing this on us?
yes.
Voice your legitimate concern, but in a civil and well thought out manner.

Bah, I was working on my crossing

Sounding like a child whining is a great way to get an answer. More than likely if you would have presented the topic better you might have actually received a reply. Coming on the forums and crying about a change will not make the change happen faster.

New Original Post
“Arena net, currently I have been saving up for most of the last year for X item. I was a little saddened to see in the patch notes today that X item was removed from the game until October, with out any prior notice. With the news that the item was to be upgraded, I was wondering if I should keep my current mats that I have saved(X mats list if you like). Or if the recipe is changing to the point that I would need a different set of mats. Just wondering if you would be able to let me know what I should do. Thanks again.”

@NoxInfernus to hell with them. There level of communication is horrible. They already dropped the ball last month with karma and now this. Things like this need to be well laid out and communicated in advance. Go ahead ban me from the forums. Infract me. I F’in dare you.

Well, to be honest, I am direly disappointed too.
I couldn’t afford The Crossing off TP, so I have started to work on it with a leisure tempo.
The only thing left I have is finishing the gift of souls, namely the dungeon part. I have sigils, I have lodestones, coins.
And they weren’t that cheap, those lodestones (though cheaper than the staff).

Now They’ve killed it for me, and the price for it will automatically skyrocket too since it can’t be crafted anymore.

Very, very displeased, to put it tamely.

@Zypher, yeh im no where near as lenient as you sir. See, I remember how many time they have screwed up with communication. And they long ago exhausted all of my tolerance.

Just to point out, Im ok with them taking it away for a month especially if there going to make it look cooler. Hell, Im ok with them taking it away for a month even if they dont make it look cooler. Im even ok with them making the recipie a little more challenging by adding time gated crafting materials.

What will infinitly suck is if they add crafting materials to the recipie that cost MONEY to aquire. I think the weapon should be changed. I believe it should be ascended. It sure cost a ton of money and time to get in the first place.

wow, crossing went from 160g to 200g in ne evening and only 3 are left

Wait until halloween again it will be easier to get, or they will gem store it to make money off it probably, because cash shop wars 2 is what this is all about.

@Tron all i need for it are the tears from the ascalon dungeon. It will infact, not be easier to get. It will only get harder for me. Maybe for people who need candy corn it will be easier.

So can we have this change redacted like karma change since it wasnt communicated? I need 3 days

Still waiting for an answer to this. Did i post it in the correct section of the forum?

Archnaphobia and The Crossing are way cheaper to craft then to buy off the trading post. I crafted both in the past few weeks when the core prices dropped. This allowed me to up level them and then craft the two. I spent about 85g each doing it this way and they would sell for 140g. That is a big difference.

My thinking as to the change is not many people made them. I think they are going to rework the recipe so more players may be interested in them, with a possible lower price. At least that is what I am hoping for. I have everything together to craft another Archnaphobia I was going to sell and they through this at me. Guess I am waiting for a while now. lol

I still feel this is something they should comment on. It just infuriates me that they get to make this change and ignore anybody it inconveniences. I suppose there is like a 10% chance that when they bring it back the recipe will require less materials. Sure would be nice to hear something.
