Guild Wars 2

Ok, what in the hell is going on with the rewards for the mordrem invasion? I had 7 stacks of the buff you get for killing mordrem spawners, but I got 5 Blooms and a chest? And some people with 6 stacks got nothing. This is completely ridiculous. To get a potion at that reward rate, it would take 2460 minutes just to get one of the Selfless or Selfish potions. This is, quite simply, ridiculous.

At least you got your 5. I’m pretty sure most of us got absolutely nothing.

Agree though, the rewards seem laughably undertuned. I imagine you’re supposed to get 5 multiplied by your buff amount, and the buff isn’t working.

Yeah, got absolutely nothing… also is it just me are are these things dying laughably fast, there must be some mistake in scaling because champions and elites melt like butter (as in sometimes I barely had enough time to switch targets and watch the health disappear in under 3-5s).

1 got 5 blossoms and a crate for doing those events. And I was the lucky one. A bunch of others got zip.

hey don’t complain! At least you got something I had 11 stacks and got nothing.

Not only you may get nothing at the end, these stacks are not like the ones in Silverwastest that remain as long as you don’t leave the area. If you disconnect, you will lose all stacks,

Well at least you got something, I’m one of those who got nothing at all =P

2 times 10 stacks and nothing. anet what the kitten???

10 stacks. Nothing. Waste of time
And mordrem die too fast to target them.

Question: will the event be pro-longed for the time lost due to the lack of drop?

Rewards being bugged is known by developers

Gaile post on bugged rewards

I got 15 stacks and no reward… this sucks…
When it gets fixed i dont have time to Play…. bye bye Toxic Amor…

i got 14 and got nothing

I think the most disappointing part of all of this is how amatuer of an event launch this is. I get it, events are rocky. Typically theres a bug for an event… but those events usually last at least two weeks for the LS… this one is a matter of days.

You guys haven’t released content in how long and you botched this event, on top of the rewards for the events (for those that received them) being completely undervalued. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think you should be able to roll through it twice and get the highest valued item…. but given the calcluations above by other posters – this is utterly ridiculous.

I don’t even want to touch on the dilemmas about rewarding gem store items for in game content because of the can of worms it potentially opens – but really? I did buy both the scarlet set and the toxic set (gifted the toxic to my husband). I’m not REALLY kittened about it being rewarded in game, but I think it really opens a somewhat ethical dilemma about it. You’re rewarding something for in game time that people paid real money for. I’m not angry that someone else is getting something I paid for – but tread lightly with this concept as you have the potential to seriously kitten some people off if you keep that up.

People buy gem store items mostly because they’re exclusive to the gem store and cannot be obtained in game. I think this has the potential to destroy customer trust – which is something that IMO has been a bit on the shakey side.

I agree with Angel.6085 100 % on this. I found today’s Mordrem run equally disappointing, if this is an early taster of what is to come with HoT, I am really questioning the pre-purchase. In my own opinions, I have questioned for a long time the validity of Anet trying to squeeze every last drop of funds via Gem Store via its poor percentage of reasonably valuable items to Black Lion Keys/ chests. I have questioned the poor percentages of RNG but to have this… another game content launch, no loot from creatures, no real reward at the end, creatures melting easily (I thought the point of future content was to make healing power and toughness a valued stat, ( zerk zerk again huh?)
The last is I had seven stacks today and got nothing. Ok so end of the day its a game but really… when are you going to start rewarding players (both in PvE and WvW) a little better than has been?

Not knocking the PvP Cthulhu button here but again, the prize money being dished out for the few and you can’t even reward the majority of players with a decent RNG percentage or even reasonable loot to game time rewards seriously sucks. Time for a priority check I think.

this event needs to run for longer so players can get the rewards they want not every one has 24/7 play time there is a such thing as having to deal with real life
