Guild Wars 2

I got “fairly” lucky with the tonics, getting 2 of them first try, and one on the second… but I also traded 4 endless (Golem, Doll, Ventari, Griffon), thinking you would get something special… and to my horror I got Toy soldier… (I had not seen any topic warning of the disaster either, so it was a pretty bad surprise)

I understand the forge is a gamble, but you even got the frame back if you failed getting the endless tonic… there was NO indication of the harsh price you could pay if you gambled all 4, especially since this time you do not get anything back, and you can’t even try to recover the tonics since you don’t have the frames anymore…

So I feel the issue here is what many people say, it’s the fact that we lose the frames, which atm can only be obtained once, and especially, that after getting the frames back if trying for endless tonics, the least you would expect is to lose all tonics just to get the 5th when combining them, the results just go from allowing you to retry if you don’t succeed, to a single do or die gamble, without any warning of the possibility of busting so hard.

That just leaves a very sour taste on a otherwise merry holiday… one that doesn’t fit in at all. So I hope this changes in the future, or at least visible so people don’t get nastily surprised…
