Guild Wars 2

Anyone else kinda sick of Anet making “new” drop bags, only to have them give you the same garbage greens and blues in any other bag? Why bother?

What is the difference if you get the blues/greens in the bags or if you get them from random drops?

What I mean is they create new bags, but there’s nothing new about them. It’s the same items you can get in any other bag.

Guessing the OP has been relentlessly farming Amber Fort in Silerwastes and hasn’t been dropping endless amounts of rare/exotic/speciality stuff like he/she thought they would.

Putting buried chests in the sand doesn’t mean its a different loot table, its just a different container it comes in

Loot is loot.. it all holds a value no matter what you get.. personally I prefer to hone in on enjoying the content not the loot drops.. if I get something nice then that’s great, if not I still had some fun trying.

I think the OP is referring to the Bags of Gear that get rewarded for the completion of an event, not the Lost Bandit Chests, since it’s the former that’s a new bag that drops green gear (the latter giving Embroidered Coin Purses, which aren’t new).

That being said, the new bags are awesome. Each bag holds 3 items, which saves you 2 inventory slots, and it stacks to 250. If the events just rewarded you 3 items each time, you’d have to stop to salvage/sell every 33 events (assuming you have five 20 slot bags); with the bags you don’t have to stop until you’re well and ready to stop.

Also just managed to pull a unique exotic out of one of the bags, so there’s a rare chance for better stuff.

Bonetti’s Rapier.. Three times, this week. I got two other exotics from the chests, but overall I agree that there doesn’t feel like enough variety in what exotics come out of each type of loot box.

It can’t just be me, because that Rapier went from 12g to 6g since the patch.

I got a Celestial Ascended Weopon chest yesteday, so I’m just fine with what’s coming out of the bags.
