Guild Wars 2

Anet, its time to reduce the recipes of Ambrite weapons to low tiers so people can still craft them, there are no more a lot of ppl doing the events, so its almost impossible to reach higher tiers.

Or make the events earn more favor to raise up higher tiers.

Not true. Dtop, a dry top guild does T6 dry top runs friday and saturday 1 hour after server reset. I also know there are a few other dry top specific guilds out there.

edit: Dtop usually hits t6 around the 30-35 min mark. They usually fill up at the top of the hour and stop taxi/ferry’s so people dont leech the sandstorm.

Not yet. Just before festival in EU, it was hitting T4 everytime and often T5. It’s a bit quieter atm now though, but that is temporary.

I agree when we get to HoT, Dry Top wont work as it is and either needs recipes across all tiers or easier to get tiers, but for now I personally think it’s at the right level.

I kind of wish the cooking recipes (particularly the second set of 5) were cheaper in costs, too. Hard to get enough of the geodes for the lower tiers with few people running the DEs and such.

That’s nice, but not everyone can play at those specific times. For example, I’m always eating dinner an hour after reset. And I’m not really interested in joining a guild just for the purpose of running one specific map, even if that wasn’t the case.

Besides, I assume higher tiers would still be cheaper, and its always beneficial to get to higher tiers to get more geodes per event, so its not like there wouldn’t be advantages to organized maps if they put the recipes into, say, T2 or T3 vendors. So I’d be all in favor of it.

You must have had really bad luck with your Dry Top instances. :-(

In my experience, Tier 4 is easily achievable with a moderate number of active players doing events, and I do see Tier 4 sandstorms basically every day. Tier 5 takes a few people who know what they are doing but is not unheard-of on weekends.

Announce upcoming events in map chat to guide people to them (google the chat codes for the WPs and POIs). Learn to properly do the events that give bonus favour (basket defense, jungle tendril, crystal race, north mine rescue), and concentrate on events that can be done easily by solo players and small groups within each 5 minute time slot. Basket Defense especially fills both of those requirements, giving bonus fabour and being soloable on any build with low-cooldown access to cripple, but I rarely see it done with bonus favour, or even at all, outside organized maps, unless I do it myself.

Or people can get their guild together and run a t6 dry top. It isn’t hard. Just go on reddit. there are a couple guides there.

You can also taxi in other players looking for a high tier dry top and try to organize it yourself.

The last thing they need to do is rework the reward structure because a handful of players feel entitled to recipes and such without putting in the effort.
