Guild Wars 2

Hi,

So before I go suggesting ideas for the loot system I was wondering how exactly does it work now?

Hopefully a developer can give an official explanation as that would be great.

Basically does the loot just randomly pick a number and whatever item has the corresponding number gets dropped? Are certain creatures only able to drop a set list of items? I would be very happy to hear creatures that obviously can’t carry/wild a weapon or armor can’t drop those items as it just makes sense. Although some people might argue it isn’t very fun though.

Anyway any replies are appreciated thanks.

I’ve looted a greatsword from a firefly once. Proof of a firefly uprising coming soon?

How does the current loot system work?

It gives you millions of whites, blues, greens and anything else you have got loads of but don’t need anymore, while giving you nothing useful…

So working 100% correctly…

That would be a pretty amazing Living Story event…

depends …

open world?
dungeons?
personal quest?
WvW zone?

because they are literally all different. And don’t expect anything good if you don’t have at least 50-100 mf on because it just won’t happen anywhere. So it’s still a mystery, why one can only imagine, but I have to say it would be a far better world if they removed whatever block they put on open world loot in November and removed the DR system entirely. (but you’ll prolly see the headstarters who have a hold on the market to continue to get 100s of gold each day yell no no no! at that suggestion.)

This how loot works by ArenaNet’s standards.
Invest time, kill X, Get nothing for about 7 or 9 kills, invest more time, Get nothing, Kill more of X, receive Y (a porous bone). If you’re lucky the loot gods will gift you with a rare drop. If you have magic find then you increase your chances of getting Y. Come the following day, Y get’s nerfed and then players get banned for exploiting.
