Guild Wars 2

Hello! I’ll just start off by saying I love the HoT story, and doing the events can be very fun but also VERY frustrating. Especially when your map literally drops everything just to go kill the Wyvern, and the event progression Halts, and you’re out of an Armor box because 1 person cannot complete events to get the full tier 3. It’s even more frustrating when you have 200% completion & it depletes because you have to constantly run to an event, but get mobbed since there is noone around to help complete the event because why? Because Champ Wyvern guiz. And it takes sooooo long to kill. If it didn’t take the entire 5-10 minutes to take down, which in turn causes daylight to fade & another loss on trying to get a full tier 3 map- then it’d be all good.

It’s almost as if there aren’t but are enough people in a map. There aren’t enough for just a few people to complete map events while the others run off to kill a champ wyvern but just enough to sabotage it. I wish there was an increased reward & the same chance you’d get the bladed armor box that was based on your participation & not the tier of event completion you’re in.

Rereading it sounds like I’m whining, but I can’t really think of a better way to say it since this has happened to me literally every time I’ve tried to help events :/

Nah i kinda agree, gating the bladed armor box like this was a bad idea…especially when an event bugs, and wont work on any map you get into!

Never had problems with the wyvern though…

Every map ive been on today has been one event away from a full tier 3, but nooooooo one event breaks, and there goes another chance to get my bladed armor ;-;

Seriously though, i just want the chest piece, should be buyable at the merchant like the rest of the armor.

I completely agree- or it should atleast be obtainable through an easier means that isn’t based on an entire map. Because 9.9/10 you’ll get an incompetent map that kitten s bc of a champ wyvern.

aren’t they buyable from the guy at the first vb wp? for airship things and some gold, you need itzel 2 to speak to him properly, but you can see what he’s selling.

You can get every part Except the Coat, which the coat most likely drops from doing Tier 3 & completing it all the way to the chest, but noone seems to realize this but a few people. It’s something that needs to be changed, the rewards I mean. It’s not fair at all to players who actually do the events to get the bladed armor rewards.

Yes, if you are able to get the event bar up to Tier 3, the reward says if full completion, you have the chance to get a bladed armor box. But noone ever completes it fully, they stop as soon as the bar gets to tier 3, they never attempt to get any further. Frustrating really.

All the armor pieces except the coat are available via NPC which is only obtainable through t3 full completion 200% participation, and its a small chance to even get it then, it says “a chance to obtain bladed armor”

It is frustrating 100%.
all of that- Like why try when noone else will thus ruining things further and lessening the chances of getting good a good reward bc omg DA WYVERRRRNNN!
it’s hard to get a full map that works and when it does at least 3 events are bugged and then everyone gives up and well gg.
I also feel that the coin reward is extra low but mats are generously high in reward which is okay but i would at least like to make a little bit more silver than i spend on buying salvage kits – i swear ive lost gold bc of the low coin drop reward.

Whats really good, is most people dont even KNOW about the map tiers.

That is also a problem xD people giving up due to map bugging

Yeah, they jsut wait for Wyvern event & think the boxes are time gated, not event gated.

I think the participation/ too few map thing is something that needs to be rethought by anet

i know i’ve lost gold do the number of times i’ve had to wp because i’m dead.

lets keep topic on track please!

full completion, last event bugged right at tier3….again….for the hundredth time this is seriously annoying….

The original posting sounds more like a problem of players learning than anything that needs a technical fix. Remember all the time Tequatl failed when that event was newly revamped? The many failed breeches and Vinewrath attacks in Silverwastes when they were new? Scarlett’s twisted marionette during the LW1?

We’re barely half a week into this expansion, and many people are still overwhelmed by all the many new things. Try telling people about map mechanics in map chat if you find the response lacking. Ask them to help you get a full t3 for the extra loot chances.

Not everyone has a lot of time on their hands and is quick on the uptake about all the subtleties of the new content. Once things settle down, guides to those areas and meta events are readily available, and people have spread the knowledge, I’m sure things will go much better.
