Guild Wars 2

Completed a fractal about an hour ago and received a fractal warhorn rather than weapon chest. Is there a level the chests begin to drop or is this a bug. Thanks

bump .

Pretty sure they’re only supposed to be dropping weapon boxes that let you choose the skin you want and not actual weapons anymore.

No both can drops. The weapon box has a chance to drop at high level, but normal wep can still drop i think.

Yup. I think containers drop from 41 onwards and until that you will just get random weapons as usual.

So my friend recieved a fractal weapon box on level 31 today… Does that mean original skins and the weapon boxes will drop. This RNG system is still a joke, its getting out of hand. Why put rng on every single aspect of this game. Over 900 fractals completed and still no axe skin! For the past 2 months I have done two 38 dailies, and two 48 dailies. What are the chances of not getting what you want eh?

If you want certinty, go to the Trading Post or craft it yourself. Some things you can even buy from vendors…

If what you want is only available through chance, then you’ll need to use chance to get it.

There could have been a multitude of options regarding fractal items though, once you have your suitable rings what do we do with pristine relics.. I have gathered over 100 of them and they still sit in my bank, waiting for a chance to be spent! It could have been a great idea to eliminate the rng by allowing fractal skins to be purchased with these. I would say 50 relics or something is fair so they still retain their rarity.

As a whole though, this fractured update was a disappointment to me. Game breaking bugs, money grabbing gem store armors, 3 of my characters efforts in fractals getting wiped, and finally the ’’update’’ only took notice of the newly implemented fractals. All the older fractals are still as bad, if not worse now the things they consider as exploits were removed.

Oooh? They fixed exploits? I may need to try this some more then… Nothing annoyed me more than a group deliberately skipping fun interactive content so that they can all sit back and attack a boring dumb post….

..shame that still happens on cliffside with the latest fixes….
I’ve still not rolled dredge to see if the group will glitch/climb/teleport/etc those first two cage rooms…

Haha, I guess it depends on ones concept of fun. If you consider sitting behind a clown car that the enemy can shoot through for 15 minutes while they spawn invulnerable as fun then fractals is your place to be! The only ’’exploits’’ we ever really took advantage of was the quick mesmer skip in harpy. It stopped your party from mindlessly attacking invulnerable mobs for an extra 5 minutes. Maybe if it was fun interactive content then we wouldn’t skip it!

Back to the point anyway, where it my fractal weapon chest >:P Anyone else experienced normal weapon drops in 30+ or is it a bug..
