Guild Wars 2

What am I doing wrong with the Scarlet map-wide events that for the last 15 minutes I am hit with diminishing returns? Way back, it was stated that DR wasn’t something users should encounter during regular play…

Was the system not designed for 45 min long events, and no one figured this mattered?

I would be very happy to see DR reviewed and retuned. Maybe? Please?

Or am I playing like a bot by wp ing between the various events vs. running to them?

I don’t think we’re struck with diminishing returns during the Scarlet invasions (though there was during the month it released, when done in the same zone twice that day)… be more specific in what you mean?

Hitting the double digit karma rewards (45-50 range) and seeing exotics at the top of the inventory and blue/white at the bottom (ie: not sorted, not after opening boxes, etc) I see this consistently with any long stretch of content in a single map, since the very early days… RNG is “random” and there is a definite patter of quality reduction over time

I’ve seen the DR of repeating the same event a few times in a row, and this looks like e same thing. Is it that all the minion events are reported as one type, repeated?

If it weren’t for the Karma number crashing so drastically, I would be inclined to think it would be related to gaming fatigue from a single event over a long period.

Interestingly, with champ boxes, there is no DR affect.. But that said, there is no MF impact of these boxes either, as far as I am aware. I should have kept an eye out for karma rates on the frostgorge Zerg tonight..

Ive came across this several times recently too. Its disapointing getting punished for doing an event.

I dont think there are any events along the champ train in frostgorge, the only one is the Quaggan.

Ah yes, that makes sense about Frostgorge. I was thinking from the perspective of the karma rewards.

Has DR simply become an accepted sacrifice that players make, or have developers forgotten about it?

Punishment for playing the game as intended…

My solution to DR has been to switch toons mid-fight. Isn’t that playing against the intended mechanic though?

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to earn wealth in the game (other than the trading post.)

…………..

I seldom see exotics in my inventory. Hell, it’s uncommon to see rares. My inventory from scarlet invasions is pretty much blues and greens throughout, with 3 or so rares and the only orange being those boxes which stack so obviously more closer to the beginning than the end.

If you’re getting a lot of exotic gear at the beginning… I wouldn’t be complaining in your shoes.

^ this. If I see a rare I nearly jump out of my seat, and my base MF is already up to 85% too. It sure looks like for the Op that DR is working as intended. Wish I could have the same luck :/
