Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen a few videos from about 3 or 4 months ago about the reward system being updated to include precursors or something like a precursor scavenger hunt does anyone know anything new about this.

It has been discussed several times over the past couple of months, but as far as I’ve read devs haven’t said anything beyond the fact that it’s something that they are looking into doing, but not actively developing.

Some people have taken the silence since then to mean that they aren’t working on it, while others think the devs are silent because if they were to make an announcement that a precursor acquisition method is on the way, the precursor market currently in the game will crash since everyone will just wait for the incoming hunt, and would also stop buying rares and exotics by the hundreds to toss into the MF.

TL;DR No official updates from ANet, feel free to speculate on what that means.

Working on it or not, it would be bad for ArenaNet to release any confirmations until it’s release is scheduled. Usually devs are against confirming things that can affect prices of items dramatically.

Should ANet come out and say “yes, we are working on a scavenger hunt and it will be released when it is done” we could expect to see an immediate drop in precursor price, as many players would see it as “oh, I’ll just wait for the scavenger hunt to get my Legendary”.

However, on many occasions ANet have said they are looking for a way to make precursors more obtainable or affordable. I personally view the dragon chests update to be the first step, more people doing dragons = more potential. Whether something as obvious and guarenteed as a scavenger hunt would be a second step, we are yet to find out.

It is just safe to assume that NO, they are not working on as scavenger hunt.

I’m a believer that one will be released eventually, but not soon, not later, not even in months time, but in the distant future.

They are talking about it but nothing is in development yet. They first mentioned it way back in November when the Lost Shores event came out and have said a couple things about it after. I doubt it will even be done until 2014 at the earliest. It’s obvious they don’t see it as a high priority.
