Guild Wars 2

I realize that the bug of getting horrible loot from the end game bags is there, but what will happen when you fix it? I don’t find it really fair for people that did the story line all the way and then received useless blues and greens to get nothing after the bug is fixed.

So basically what i’m asking is this: Will i get another 5 bags of loot to go through, or will i get stuck with useless blues and greens while people who just now finished the story line will get the much better gear? And if i’m stuck with the loot i have now, how can that be fair to the players? I was in the mood for getting some good gear and finally finishing my story line, and then when i finish i get awful loot as well as taking 4 times to actually register that i killed Zhaitan.

Yes, i had to kill Zhaitan four times before Guild Wars 2 actually registered that i had killed him.

I would like a response to whether or not people like me (who get terrible loot from the bags) will get 5 more bags of loot because of the bug.

If there is a thread already going on about this, then please link me to it so that i may get some answers.

Thanks

RNG Working as intended, sure it sucks but that’s the name of the game. That is why there is crafting, legendaries, magic find, karma merchants, etc

Clearing your personal story and being rewarded with sub par mid level range vendor crap isn’t exactly fair. You work your butt off killing and saving and building to get sod all in return, i was expecting at least 1 75+ rare i got 4 18-40 blues and a 43 green shield

It’s different if i couldn’t go kill some level 45 mobs and find better gear than what i got in those bags of loot. Makes no sense to me that they give you pretty decent items all throughout your story mission, and then on the “epic finale” they give you absolutely worthless junk.

I finish the story mission with four other people, and every single one of them got nothing but blues and greens. Not to mention the majority of the blues and greens aren’t even level 80 gear. I understand that Rng is what it is, but it still makes absolutely no sense that they will have you get pretty good items throughout the story missions and then at the end of all this give you absolutely nothing. It’s not like you even get rewarded by the chests in the Arah story either. The loot from that place and from the chests is just as worthless as the bags of loot they give you after completing.

Considering the final battle with Zhaitan, the rewards were far too good. It’s like being given a Ferrari after helping some elderly person to cross the street.

I really hope you simply worded that wrong. The final battle with Zhaitan was undoubtedly disappointing and anti-climatic, but that is why they have the explorer version of Arah. I’m saying this again, but i would be extremely disappointed in Arena Net if they basically gave us a bunch of useless blues and greens for completing the story line.

In Guild Wars 1 they at least let you pick an end-game weapon after you completed a “story line.” I don’t see the logic in giving level 80’s a chance at getting not one or two blues of level 80, but all 5 of the items a player gets will be blue or green and more than likely not be level 80 req. I got 4 items for level 45ish, and one green one for level 80. This is extremely unacceptable reward loot for completing the story line of the game. I don’t care if they gave us aesthetic gear only and we could only use them once, but they looked sweet. I mean it’s all it takes. Absolutely no one wants a bunch of useless gear that doesn’t even sell or salvage into anything useful.

Sorry, i couldn’t resist being sarcastic.
It is obviously a huge let-down, either if it was bugged or intended. The only proper solution that comes to my mind is giving those players, who have already finished the storyline, an additional reward. Be it a fixed box or an item we could actually use, i don’t really care.

It’s also so nice that after countless of topics we got no answer on wether its intended or bugged.

Anet your scoring points !

I’ll be honest and say I was disappointed as well. All I got were Level 40’s equips when I could have easily just equipped Magic Find % Gear and gone to farm in Orr for something MUCH better; I mean, hell, finding an Orichalcum Ore is worth more than the loot you get for completing the current end-game.

At the very least, they should provide 1 or 2 Exotic Weapons like they did for GW1.

On top of that, fix the 5 Random Rewards and prevent them from being anything under Level 80, also blocking out “Normal” equipment. It should at least be Green, with a small chance at getting a Legendary Weapon for your class or something.

I can’t believe this wasn’t fixed in the patch last night. Either it is a very hard to fix problem (somehow) or it is not being communicated back up the chain to how important it is to people. This isn’t really a WoW gear-grind type game but people still love their pretty-shinies. As the great Big Worm once said, “effin with my money, is like effin with my emotions”. Let there be phat lewtz! (I’m out of ideas for capturing the attention of forum mods, so, please, sticky a reply to this issue and make people happy.

Gave me a nice handful of lowlevel blues.

Also will there be a counterfix for this to redeem the people completed it new bags?

Or is the blue/green items intended.

They’re not intended but they haven’t said anything really.

If they fix it, Anet usually always gives compensation in one way or the other. More or less, anyone who has completed the Story will probably receive 5 more bags.

I also just completed my final personal story quest and when opening my 5 exotic loot boxes, got a range of lvl 19-60 blue items and 1 green 80 item.
Is this intended? or is this a bug?
If it is a bug, is there a way for those that have already completed the quest to either redo the final story mission to receive the proper rewards, or attain them in some other way?
Many thanks in advance.

Forum Moderators are aware of this thread, but we haven’t received any word on what will be done.

All I can say is to be patient.
