Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this post exists somewhere else and if it does I’d like to apologize, but after hearing about raids in Guild Wars 2 I’ve had one huge nagging question that might absolutely kill the game for me.

Will the necessary components for legendary armor be RNG based or will I be able to earn them via tokens, points, or by completing raid specific achievements or events?

If legendary armor is going to be RNG based (i.e. farming a precursor) then my interest in Heart of Thorns just fell through the floor. I’ve been playing since Guild Wars 2 launch and I have never found a precursor, ever. Needless to say my luck sucks. So if the acquisition of legendary armor will be based on my favor of the RNGods then I may not even bother to raid. I’m not saying I’m not willing to work for my legendary armor; I’ll be happy to put in 1,000 hours+ into raiding. I’m just saying that I’m not willing to roll the dice every weekend to have the chance to get lucky get the shoulder strap I need or whatever. Give me a tangible goal to work towards and I’ll be happy.

I know there was a blog post that mentioned the clarification of raid rewards in the future, but I was just wondering if anyone could confirm/deny this?

You need to follow the news on HoT, sounds like you totally forgot about precursors and masteries removing the RNG element.

There is no reason for them to NOT use it for raids.

I’m aware of both of those things, but it still worries me looking at raiding in previous games.

seeing as how they implemented the earnable armor in LS 2, i’d imagine the only rng will be in getting specific crafting mats/components (they way you extract items from the silverwaste bosses). i’m sure you’ll be able to earn most from actual achievements and masteries…..and you’ll be able to choose the final armor piece you want (that aspect will most certainly not be rng).

in short, minimal rng.
