Guild Wars 2

Remember back when people thought this was actually going to happen?

didn’t it leaked somewhere that they make precursors craftable very soon ????
OI mena it makes total sense because they introduce the new generation of legendarys in July

Remember fractals leaderboards, as well?
Hehe…

Remember when they scrapped the Precursor Scavenger Hunt idea long ago, and told us they did so? Remember when they replaced the idea (which was all it was) with possible Percursor Crafting? Remember when they announced they were re-working the Precursor Crafting idea because of the change to how rewards would be implemented?

This has to be the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. And to think you’re trying to use it as a sort of HUZZAH!

Remember when they said they were working on a new pvp mode?

I doubt that any of these things will ever happen. Especially not in the near future, we would have heard less rumors and more fact if that were the case. If any of these things do happen then I’d put them off for at least another year in my expectations.

Other things like a new race or class are probably the least likely to ever happen.

Remember when Anet thought WvW would be the next esport?

(Not gonna happen unless they implement Squads and different colored commander tags)

remember the expansion worth of content?

Remember when the GW2 forums weren’t so toxic? Oh wait….

remember all the things people said Anet was never going to do cause they dont listen to feedback that they actually ended up doing.

Patience people last thing we want is for them to rush something like this… However they end up doing the precursor acquisition it will have to be something that takes effort. The easiest effort to implement is grind (1000 ancient wood, 1000 this, 1000 that etc..) I am in a way glad this is taking time because I imagine they’re trying to make something thats engaging but that will take time to complete which is at least for me many times preferable to something thats straight up farming !

yeah I soooo hope it’s not that kind of grind. “a 1000 of whatever”, mats are already very expensive and soaring atm

gift of achievment (10k achievement points)
massive vision crystal (250 Bloodstone Brick 250 Dragonite Ingot 250 Empyreal Star)
dusk hilt (25 Deldrimor Steel Ingot)
dusk blade (25 Deldrimor Steel Ingot)

mystic forge it and poof!

your welcome anet i fixed it.

uhhh i would be very surprised if it wasnt mostly get 1000x +1000y, thats basically how all item progression has been in the game. Which makes me wonder why its taking so long. I will be happy to eat my words if it ends up being a great system with depth that has you mastering more and more of the game, and having fun while doing it.

But ehhh
its prolly going to be a 1000 polynomial expansion answer.

Remember expansion’s worth of content? Yea.

The op is written as if what they wanted was still an option. It is not, it will not be and has been publicly clarified that it will not happen.

Remember the Manifesto?

Your massive vision crystal is completely absurd. Just to get 250 emp stars you would need to do 1250 dungeon runs, netting you ~2000 gold meaning you could just BUY the legendary you wanted.

A more reasonable amount would be either 25 or 50.

Meh, can’t wait for next set of fiery weapon skins from the bl chests or armor/wep reskins

If they’d go with something that simple they could have had it in game in a month! It has to be something way more complex then that for it to take this long!

And you’re wrong btw.. Ascended gear acquisition start awesome. 35 Laurels that in my opinion was perfect… they wanted a medium term goal something that takes between 15-35 days to achieve but that requires 0 grind and what they did with laurels was exactly it. No need to gather a mountain of this or a mountain of that. play whatever content you enjoy for 15-35 days and there BiS gear piece is yours. (well to be 100% fair lets say play whatever content you enjoy + 5 mins now and then to finish the daily off)

Its a big pity a lot of people felt that was a bad implementation cause personally i thought it was really perfect. But back on subject, big quantity of materials is not the only progression model they tried.

I like the Gift of Achievement idea. Prevents precursors from flooding the market -too- heavily by limiting them to one per account that actually takes some time to acquire (keeping the gold farmers out of it), as well as giving a shot at a precursor to those who’ve played the game long enough that they -should- have a precursor but don’t because of bad RNG.

It’s still conquest so no they didn’t

No it isn’t.

The way I see they could implement that new precursor system is through Living Story. They will have LS permanent, that means you have access even if you missed some episodes; it could reward you on every episode (or some episodes) with precursor pieces. When the season is ended, you’ll have all the pieces together and can craft/forge the one you want.
Since LS is account bound, you can have one precursor per season; this precursors could be account bound as well, to not interfere too much with the TP.
That is just what I suppose it could happen and I’m waiting for 1 July to found if its correct.

I wonder if you’re on to something there.

Anet mentioned that the precursors were delayed because of the way that reward structures had changed.

Given how each chapter is supposed to be unlocking ‘challenging’ achievements, I don’t think you’re too far off the money with that.

I would have to agree. They putting precursor components behind challenging solo/group achievements for each LS season would be a nice touch.

• It would keep a steady interest in players to buy/play those LS episodes.
• It would be an excellent way to introduce more challenging content (for possibly solo and/or group play).
• And, it would finally make us shut up about them adding in a way to obtain precursors outside of the MF and winning the drop lottery.

Win/win/win.

in fact on reddit was some weeks ago a post about a dev talking to the community in gendarran. he said that precursor crafting is coming soon.
before here everybody cries QQ but the manifesto…they said already that is could came out later then hoped and i think in season two it is expectable that we can get the new manifesto and Infos about the precursors and maybe legendarys.
Dont Forget it is possible that precursor hunt and new legendary come at same time

Can you provide a link to this reddit post? I’m interested in reading it but I don’t use reddit really so I don’t know how to find it.

Edit: i missinterpreted the first pic, sry for that. nevertheless, what that Lady avant says is interesting and when there is a whole Team for that theme then i think is it promising
