Guild Wars 2

This may or may not be intentional and also may or may not have been reported elsewhere, but I also would like to voice my concern.

As it stands to get a minor supply drop for WvW, a guild must have 50 Heavy Supply Bags. These bags come from centaur NPCs in the WvW alpine Borderlands. With the installment of the Desert Borderlands, these bags are now a rarity. The supply line is virtually cut leaving many guilds, unable to acquire these.

I am aware, you can PvP for them but that is 2 opportunities out of the entire track and a slim chance for their drop. I am sure John will agree with me on this when I say that the supply will dry out and the demand will make these things become as expensive as precursors (something all parties want to avoid).

Thus I am curious if there is a planned fix incoming for these bags in a way that they can be acquired commonly again.

One other thing I thought of last night, was perhaps the BLs will be rotating every month or so, in that we could play the alpine BL again.

But if not, then the supply line has be severed.

Dont centaurs in pve drop these? Try that

I don’t think there are centaurs in Tyria who are of high enough level to drop these. I’m not sure if any of the fractals have them, though.

No centaur enemy is level 80 and therefore eligible to drop Heavy Supply Bags. The only ones were in WvW alpine BLs. Which are out of the rotation (for the moment) :/

Heavy Supply Bags drop only from 80 lvl Centaurs. Only 80 lvl Centaurs were located on old Alpine Borderlands and can’t be found anymore. So there is no any way to get Heavy Supply Bags for WvW upgrade except buying them from Trading Post for crazy prices.

Could we get an answer from Anet Devs that they saw bug and working on fix to prevent players to speculate on Heavy Supply Bags prices?

I might send John an email about this supply shock. This was an unintended consequence of the removal of the Alpine BLs so I am pretty sure no one has really noticed yet and it’s not really a bug, but it does need attention.

Thank you! This is a very good upgrade in terms of Aetherium / GXP rate and also good tactics in WvW for scouts so it is good to have it.

Heavy Supply Bags are also used for Packed Dolyaks upgrade (“Double Dolly”) and critical for scouts too, so I hope an issue will be solved asap.

Agreed. Double dollys are our friends out there in WvWs.
