Did ArenaNet remove the 3 rare bags you get from killing all 5 bosses at the silverwastes during breach? or is it a bug?

didnt see anything on it on the notes.

Edit: Corrected company name to remove unnecessary and wholly-unwarranted rudeness. Also corrected the subject line.

After the Breach event in the Silverwastes we no longer get 3 [Bags of Rare gear] in the reward chest. Is this a bug or is it working as intended?

looks like a nerf, talked to a lot of people at the sw, so no more 3 rare bag drops, one nightmare key per run and the rest of the drops have been nerfed. The silverwastes will go back to what they were initially, deserted.

If SW was on a set timer, then I would be upset with the removal of some of the drops. Since it’s based on how well the map is doing, I’m okay with it getting some drops changed.

Well I would venture to say that most people are NOT okay with these type of nerfs! As stated above… Anet did you not learn from the dungeon nerfs. STOP SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE DANG FOOT!

A 50% reward nerf seems overboard. It didn’t need a nerf, honestly. It was a fun and enjoyable zone. I really hope it wasn’t nerfed intentionally because it’s one of my favorite zones to do and wasn’t more rewarding than other zones anymore.

SW nerf, heh good luck with farming gold.

SW was best map for fun and good times, but guess not anymore.

Guess after those “we promote fun and rewarding game” comes reality.

It’s not just a single event, it’s a culmination of events that everyone has to work towards. The reward now is simply not worth the effort.

Unless this is an oversight (which I really doubt), I think this, and the new addition of account bound weapons, is meant to drive more people to spend money on gems – taking away one of the best money farms in the game.

This being a stealth nerf is really low. Well, whatever you do Anet, I am not spending any money on your game now – shady practices like this alienate your customers more than anything.

I don’t even do SW that often at all, but I still think this is really shady of Anet (IF this was an intentional change). It’s doubly shady due to the lack of documentation in the patch notes.

SW events/meta is fun to do.

Chest farming isn’t fun to do.

Nerfing SW, which doesn’t need a nerf anymore after the HoT map reward buffs which made them all as rewarding kitten doesn’t make any sense. What makes even less sense is nerfing SW NOW when AB is being multi-looted and didn’t get nerfed. Everyone is doing AB now, why would you nerf SW when it’s not even the best gold/hour or an exploit or anything? SW didn’t need any changes.

I’m baffled.

I’m thinking it has to do with making AB the best loot spot. Because people who were farming SW that don’t have HoT will now need to buy HoT if they want the best loot. It’s a stretch, but I wouldn’t put it past Anet. They are acting rather desperate as of late.

I have HoT and I don’t like any of the new zones AT ALL. Be it VB AB TD (I only like DS a bit but only once in a week or so). If they are taking out that big chunk of the SW rewards then they are potentially killing the map, and fast at that.

If their plan is to kill off popular zones because they are not part of their current paywall then that is another, MUCH larger problem with them entirely.

People, people, people.

You have a legitimate question, all of you. But some of you are going off the rails with a really high level of snarkiness, grumpiness, and general unpleasantness.

I have asked around, and after some discussion amongst teams, we think we may understand what happened. What you want (need) to know is this: The change to the Silverwastes drops was not intentional, and it will be corrected.

If you could please avoid the name-calling and the other tin-foil hat comments, I’d appreciate it. I can get down into core issues a lot more quickly, save myself a pair of permanently-raised eyebrows, and save my team members another muttered “Oh really, you guys?” if you just ask the question straight up and let us get you an answer!

Thanks! And I’ll update when we have more info!

I appreciate the clarification, so thank you for that.

Also—and I mean no offense—given how long it’s taken in the past to get responses from things like visual nerfs, balance issues (i.e. threads asking about thief ricochet trait went on for over a thousand posts without any response), and other important topics, it’s left many people with a cynical view toward how Anet communicates with its players/customers. So naturally, when something like this happens, it’s not unreasonable to think that this was intentional with no explanation.

Not an official statement, just a personal feeling here, because honestly, I feel I must…

I really don’t care what “reasons” someone feels they have for posting comments that include insults, name-calling, accusations (now known to be completely untrue!), or “justifications” for going off the rails.

We are all human beings. Human beings make mistakes, sure. But a human being is writing to you now, and several other human beings assessed this situation, another has already worked up the fix for this, and yet another will hit the button that will implement that fix.

We want to make you happy, and part of that is working with you to identify and correct the bugs we’re able to fix. Pointing to another issue, pointing to a disagreement about a BLTC offering, comments such as “Yeah, but this other time…” have no place in a reasonable conversation.

I believe this community can do better. No, I know we can.

It’s understandable that people get afraid due the lack of communication on past about important topics, but also people seems to be used to always demand stuff and complain without thinking first. Take off their candy and they will yell and cry without even asking first why that. Calm down people, issues happen and at times things can slip off. If anyone would stop and analyze ALL fact, the speculations here would make no sense. Being upset and curious about a response is understandable, but rudeness and attacking based on speculations isn’t. If it would take days without a response, then the speculations would make a “bit” more sense.

And I feel you Galie, and thanks for the update btw.
