Guild Wars 2

This is a question i want to ask the Devs.

Why are you staying so silent on loot and rewards?

Do you plan to increase rewards? Introduce new skins?

Is loot working as intended?

These are things the community wants to here about. That way we know whether to hang around or uninstall. Wait……is that why they’ve been so quiet?

d/w, i got my tinfoil hat ready.

huh?, wha?, hmmm, you are!, Are you?, Seriously?
So basicly you are very crypticly saying there is in your opinion something wrong with the loot and the reward. What I’m missing however in your very well made question is what in your opinion should be wrong with it?. There is a lot of loot for a lot of different things i nthe game. Are you getting not enough loot? are you getting the wrong loot? are you upset that fish give loot like shoes??. All might be valid (specially that it is simply wrong that a fish drops shoes), but I would advise you to state what you mean. Somehow I don’t think it is as fishy that fish are nipping peoples shoes (though I once got a shoe on my line when I was fishing, but im sure im getting out of context here).

Your second question then, I might be wrong but again I’m afraid your trying to make a statement that my limited mind can’t understand. Do you mean that the amount of rewards are too low againb? or do you want more skins? and what loot do you mean? you want different skins for broken lock picks??

Then you ask if loot is working as intended. Well, so far you didn’t really made a point bout telling there could be a problem with it, you might be hinting to that optinion, but its all very confusing on our part so I think the answer in this situation is really yes.

Then you claim that the community wants to hear things. I am starting to think that you need an answer from a shrink and not from a dev. MPS (multiple personality syndrome) is a very serious condition. So if you feel that you are more then one person I would advise you to get serious help. Maybe you play too much video games and then you should uninstall your entire pc and smash it into bits and pieces (specially the last thing is a very good start of therapy).

Last off all you claim the devs have been quit. To be honest. since the introduction of this forum I’m very happy to hear directly from the devs and not from a pr-employee (no offense to you lot, your doing a great job as well). I understand they don’t have time to answer every question cause now the game is live they are very busy to evaluate all the meta data comming in, b out e.g. how difficult is to get a certain item, and how many white dyes actually pop-up on the TP. And maybe the price is too high and they should drop more often. Those things cannot be predicted before release, so the devs are really busy. So, if you want my support I really need that tinfoil and a lot of chemtrails in my living room.

Maybe I am mis-interpreting the OP, but there certainly is, in some cases, a lack of skins. I haven’t really looked into heavy and light armour yet, but I am really getting bored seeing the Pirate outfit everywhere.

The Pirate gear should be a skin that is exclusive to the Pirate Karma vendor in Lion’s Arch, otherwise there is no real point in him being there other than being a lacklustre reward for completing a (very complex and sometimes obnoxious) jumping puzzle that most people seem to complete by using something which is almost, but not quite, an exploit.

But no, the Pirate outfit is everywhere. Every single one of the Tier 1 Dungeon sets use the same skin, while the Tier 2 sets are all unique. This begs the question: what is the point of the Tier 1 sets? Nobody in their right mind is going to actually use them over the Tier 2 sets and since they are all identical (to the Pirate set), there is no incentive to get them. Ever. I don’t think the cheaper set should look the same as the expensive one, but they should look different to each other and half the other generic gear in the game. It’s not just the Dungeon gear, either. I have seen the Pirate skin in a lot of places, hell, it is even given to us the first time we complete Story Mode of every single Dungeon.

The karma sets from Orr are in a similar position. They are all exactly the same skin which seems to have been inspired by a bad vampire hunter movie.

Isn’t the point of grinding in this game not to get “better” gear but to get cosmetic gear that suits your character? I’ve just mentioned fourteen skins lacking from the game. Fourteen extra skins that can be used to further customise your character. That said, this game has a long and bright future and I have no doubt that those sets will eventually get unique skins. The Dev’s have better things to do at this point in time.

try not to tell people they have mental illnesses. your post had no value whatsoever and i think it was for trolling purposes only.

i think the OP is right, there is no real good item drops in this game. now that nerfs to farming have come into play we will just have to see where Anet go with this but it seems like most of the community is not pleased with these changes.

Thinking that there is rewarding loot takes a suspension of disbelief.
