Guild Wars 2

It’s been half way into the month since the last “big” january update which gave us lovely package of new bugs bundled with old ones. Why is this not a priority to fix it. By now there is probably over a thousand combined chest lost to players (how is this going to be compensated, doubtful, if at all!!) This is a huge bug and Anet is just swinging it by and casually ignoring it, saying, "na, it’s ok to waste hours (which by now would be nearing a hundred hours lost per player) of players time waiting for the dragon to spawn yet only to receive NOTHING. If it’s DR that’s screwing stuff up, take it off temporary until u fix it, if it’s the downscaling system, roll it back temporary?? I’m sure you have such capabilities when an update goes wrong which to their record so far is pretty much every single one…

You did it for the jumping incident (which i’m glad you resolved quickly within a day, instead of having players fail at jumping puzzles everywhere for a month)

To make it worst, the topic in game bugs which was discussing this issue got CLOSED and replied with a simple,

“While we’re continuing to investigate this and other item-drop related concerns, we’ve gathered all the information we need at this time. Once we have more information on this subject, we will provide you with an update.

This thread will now be closed. Thank you for your feedback.,"

So losing chest is just grieving players and not harming the economy so we’ll put it at the bottom of our list? If it was something working before and it broke now, isn’t it normal to just rollback to the working version so players aren’t punish for extended periods by their incompetence and then they figure our why this is happening?

Just to clarify, the dragon chest bug is something to do with their DR or diminishing returns which causes the chest to NOT appear. I don’t really care about the abyssal loot drop from dragon chest, I care about not getting one at all

Welcome to the “perceived” club. Seriously that’s all you’ll hear is three things from now into eternity.

“our data collection shows nothing”
“we’re still gathering data”
“the investigation is ongoing”

That’s what’s been happening now for about 5 months when dealing with loot drops, permaDR account wide, wooden chests that drop things like whites or porous skulls, veterans/champions that drop nothing or something insignificant when you do get something to drop etc etc. The list goes on ad infinitum.

It’s really sad when this happens. I really enjoy playing gw2 but when someone ask me for an opinion on whether they should play, I naturally say… I don’t think its the game for you. Do you know why? It’s because their game is filled with bugs which are hugely ignored and rarely acknowledged. I’m a push over so you can get away with pushing me around with bugs that persist since day one but I don’t want to be the guy who recommends a friend a game filled with bugs and then tells me that I wasted their money.

I thought it was ‘working as intended’.

Yep, and this is a red quote for what they think of you and your loot problems:

Thats true, but why now? why only after patch ppl start to complain about the loot!?

People have been complaining about bad loot since day 1 of the fractals. It isn’t new, and generally I don’t bother to answer those questions since it is just RNG and speculation. Some people find a precursor in that chest, and others get blues. Just the nature of RNG whenever you open that chest.

I’ll ask around tomorrow to see if anything changed, but looking at it right now I see no changes to the fractal chest loot.

That’s actually not talking about my concerns I’ve been complaining about the loot since before fractals , was one of the first legit farmers to discover they were up to something or are allowing a beneficial (for them that is) bug to continue beyond what most companies would. I’ve never ran a fractal. The actual loot issues began shortly before Nov 15th.

You should care about all of it it’s all connected to the same problem….DR.
