Guild Wars 2

Ok So the idea to get rewards for doing events on maps is a good and solid one. The delivery is somewhat annoying. If this is supposed to help kill off some of the grind for materials it missed it’s mark a little. Close. I have noticed that on some events I would not get the reward that was offered at all. I’d go through the event and end up just getting the normal rewards if anything. Not sure on why that is to be honest only tested for a short time. The thing that I thought was not great is that the item you got was from a list of possible rewards, the reward did not follow an order it was randomly selected from the list. This means the item that I may be trying to get may never come up at all. The solution would be the ability to select your reward instead of having it randomly selected for you. Or it actually goes into an order so you know you will get the item your looking for from doing the map at some point.

Another thought comes to mind that perhaps you could add a special bag or box that drops that has a good chance of dropping a random item from the list during events. This would make the grind a little less and possibly seem more productive.

I will say that my problem with grinding for materials in this game is that you don’t know where you can get them. Sure there is a chance that seems to be spread through out the maps to get the items and monsters have a chance to drop them. I like the idea of having a greater chance to get what I’m seeking. Not a chance to see one item after farming all day.

Those are my thoughts on this though and some may like the grinding over and over for a small chance to get one of a hundred or two hundred you need.

Oh and you might see fit to adding such items like mystic coins into the list. There seems to be a very limited way of obtaining those and some other items needed for crafting.

I think you get something every 2-3 events, not for every event. If you could choose what you wanted, they wouldn’t be able to offer anything really great.

I honestly don’t see that as the case. I mean the fact is they said this was to help more with the grind of materials. Like I said a maybe you’ll get the item after a few hours that you need 100-200 of is still just that a MAYBE. It is showing that you have the possibility of getting the item that your grinding for. And if it is only after 2-3 events it makes it just as bad as killing things trying to get it. With that thought in mind it does not make me feel more inclined to grind the events on the map any more then grinding creatures. They can still offer interesting things through a random bonus.

This is just my opinion, and i’m sure others may not agree with it. But to me it dose not sound like the grind has been lessened by this. I had done some more runs through looking to get a few items I had my eyes set on and found it frustrating that they never did popup.
