Guild Wars 2

Q: Will the new resources for crafting be affected by the loot algorithm problem that some of our accounts were experiencing where we’d get almost nothing every time we tried to farm anything even at the very beginning or even when we were just doing regular events in the open world? Will it be affected by DR?

Because I’d hate to come back to the game and find that not only is this still happening preventing me from getting to 500 as a crafter but that it’s now happening with account bound items from events across the world!

How can anyone answer this?

Easy they can post to this thread with an answer and I think it’s a very valid one. Some of us are STILL being affected by this Wi Flag problem while some of us left there are still people playing holding on to the hope that someone will address it. It’s not an invalid question at all. These items can’t be sold so why cut people off from them?

Right but until the patch comes out, no one will know. People will know exactly as much as you do right now.

T7 ore/cloth/leather is crafted using lower tier ore/cloth/leather.

The other T7 materials are obtained by completing dragon events, temples and defeating champions. Since you need 500 of each of these per ascended item, I’m assuming each event/bag drops a set amount, which is hopefully adjusted based on difficulty (something they are now starting to do, beginning with Tequatl). How many is dropped is unknown. Obtaining these items will probably take you longer than the time gates required to fully craft an ascended item, which is 9 days or 5 if you trade.

T7 blood/fangs/etc and lodestones do not exist. T6 blood/fangs/etc is needed to create T6 inscriptions which is used to make T7 inscriptions.

I’m pretty sure that those on the devs testing team will know and that’s who I’m directing this question to.

Here’s to hoping they drop with a set amount because I’m sure even those without the loot problems some of us have experienced are tired of RNG.

I’d hoped they’d make it so that the amount dropped is universal so long as you participate.

The devs hardly ever answer questions like this. You’re probably better off waiting until the patch is out and then finding out yourself.

As usual that’s too late, I’d like to know now so I don’t waste my time coming back to the game if it’s not going to be an improvement overall. That’s the purpose of any question I post, and I’m sure I’m not alone with wanting to know a little more detail about it because I know I’m not the only one to have loot problems in this title.
