Did the drop rate fall or something? I had like 20 at one point and I’m not sure how but now I’m down to 1 and haven’t found one the last couple of months of playing.
I just started using my Charrzooka and I love it. It has nice ranged AoE, a good knockback spread, a good knockdown/jump back power, and 2 decent damage dealers. I use it a lot in WvW as an impromptu arrow cart to either rain fire down from walls or to hit the cannons on walls my rifle can’t get.
I use rifle and axe/mace. The rifle is good ranged for 1 on 1, the charrzooka is good for multiple foes. There is a bit of a cooldown on it so you can use the rifle during that period. But I highly recommend it.
Just wanted to give my feedback on the weekend. Overall I feel rather neutral about it. I got home after work Friday and tried doing the scavenger hunt things but found them broken so that was kind of annoying. Saturday I had to work so didn’t get in till late and explored the island and did the jumping puzzles (after many many tries). Not a bad zone but I wish there was more cooking materials to harvest than just passion fruits (also I’d like passion fruits and the shells to be collectibles so I can store them there in my bank). The zone was pretty with the thermal water and stuff plus the new monsters were a little more tricky than anything else in the world what with confusion and boon stealing. It is annoying to move around though, if you fall or jump off the island there’s only a few places you can get back up which makes for a lot of walking/swimming. Sunday I thought the 1-time event would be repeated throughout the day every few hours like the dragons in other zones so I was kind of surprised/disappointed when I logged in that night and found out I missed everything. Although with the amount of people logged on for the thing I probably would have had horrible lag and probably been disconnected. I did go back and finish the stuff from phase 1 though (thanks for fixing that). I would have liked something more from it like a Hawaiian shirt or sandals or something to commemorate the event. So all in all I didn’t really do any of the events but did walk around the island a bit and enjoyed fighting the new monsters.
I also got into the new dungeon a few times and I think I like it despite none of my groups managing to get through 3 fractals. The variety is fun, I enjoy the jumping puzzles (although they can be annoying when you complete them and are waiting for the people bad at them to get through) and the bosses fights aren’t just you autoattacking while trying not to get hit, you have to use environmental objects on them. I still think there needs to be an easier way to find dungeon groups though.
I did not do any PvP or buy anything from the gem store so can’t really talk about those.
The bugs in this event are really starting to get to me. First I get the same email every time I go into a new zone. Then I try to find the events and they’re bugged. The butterfly man under the water is just sitting there guarding his chest and not killing krait (which is what it says he’s supposed to do). Then I found the frog person and got his jar but before I could collect anything I jumped in the ice shooter nearby and lost my jar. Now he won’t give me a new one. I got through the scavenger hunt in Lion’s Arch but when I went to get the Consortium guy near Trader’s Green I found a group of people waiting for him to appear (apparently some had been waiting like 20 minutes to no avail).
I don’t really expect much of a response to this but I wanted to vent. This is the first forum post I’ve done. I haven’t publicly complained before (even those weeks when skill challenges weren’t showing up) but this is getting seriously annoying. I guess I’ll go to sleep and see if things are working tomorrow.
