Guild Wars 2

Why is the forge giving out sub lvl 80 (i.e. lvl 75-79) when I put in four lvl 80 weapons? I just put in four lvl 80 exotic weapons and got out a lvl 79 exotic weapon. WTF? It’s supposed to up the level of or keep the level of whatever it is you put in. Why the downgrade? That ain’t right.

Fix it now, please.

It’s been that way for some time now. It’s never been said if it was a bug or not, but it’s annoying regardless.

Hard to call it a bug when they’ve said it was an intentional change.

The reason for it is to expand the results list of things you can get from the forge. Let’s face it, if you’re throwing 4 80s into it, you didn’t need them to begin with.

Precursor return rates are unaffected.

They didn’t say it was intentional to downgrade four LVL 80 items thrown into the forge.

And who cares if I needed them or not to begin with? That has 0% affect on this bug.

actually, yeah. they did.

Bull****.

This needs to get fixed.

Yes they did say it, no reason to say or imply someone is lying.

There is nothing to fix. That change was made ~April feature patch.

In the April feature patch notes:
“The chance of rares and exotics in the mystic forge will be adjusted. This will not affect precursors.”

Also a quick google search returns a number of posts from here and reddit showing that this was noticed months ago and commented on. There was dev comment on it somewhere, but that would require hunting it down, and since I’m assuming you’d reply with the same thing…

Right. So they didn’t say it should give out sub-lvl 80s when you put in four lvl 80s the patch notes.. Got it. Thanks.

This needs to get fixed.

There’s nothing to fix because it’s not a bug. It was an intentional change to increase the variety of skin/sigil combinations possible from forging.

You not liking something =/= bug.
