Aproposs Of Fire.4056:

You know, avitarus, this isn’t about you “being right all along” and “I told you so”. This is about sadness for a game that had so much promise and potential.

Well, nah.

After all your page long posts telling everybody what to do and how your experience leads you to believe blah blah blah this is the best you’ve got? At this point, since most of the people who posted here are going to quit playing this game, all that is left is a few “Told ya so’s” before we kitten off and go elsewhere.

And dont even start trying to act like a martyr.

Well at least one person on this thread didn’t really care about the game. Some people want and feed off of controversy and nothing more. I certainly am not going to argue with you. So I’ll just say “Congrats, you were right on and got what you wanted”.

Edit: Note all the new people who have posted that there are indeed problems with the game since you came out and “confirmed” there is not, ANet. I guess the “conspiracy” is much wider than you expected.

What really sucks for the other posters (most of the other posters) in this thread who only began having problems in November is that the ‘wi-flagged-account’ issues began at launch or in beta and so since ANet is allegedly looking at that period there is still a chance (I suppose %-/) those accounts might still get help.

I have to say the art was really pretty good in this game – in spots, excellent above all others. However, the art is only part of a fulfilling gaming experience. The art could look like RS and still be successful. (Edit2: No offense to RS, errr, no offence.)

I don’t know what NCSoft/ANet is aiming for: perhaps as some have speculated it’s about the cash shop plain and simple. Perhaps this thread was about getting as many of the people who are having these issues to post details so that ANet could figure out how to spread these issues to all the players.

If what we are experiencing is intended, then the other players who are getting normal loots are the ones they want to “fix”. Dry periods in MMOs are to be expected – we all agree on that. But if a 3-month dry period with no end in sight is “intended”, then an EU-type economy is what is intended and perhaps the Nexon people in the GW2 business office are the guiding force as many on this thread have worried.

You set that straw man up and you knocked him right down, get any loot off of that fallacious argument? Go ahead and edit this post a few more times, and while youre at it delete your previous posts. Cant have everyone seeing how hard you were a white knight for ANet/NCSoft/Nexon. Dont want people to see how patronizing your attitude was to folks just trying to report their issues.

Fact of the matter is everybody here is having an issue and you tried to be some fearless leader and now you are eating crow. It tastes bad and now you are bitter, which is understandable.

Aproposs Of Fire.4056:

I apologize for naively believing that the issues of champ/vet/boss non-drops and excessive DR and gray loot flooding would definitely be resolved by ANet. And I apologize for doubting posters who suspected this would be the case.

How does that crow taste? You have been white knight-ing your kitten off for a couple months now, to no avail.

It takes them this long to “verify” updates that have already been released? I work in IT and if I dropped a change in the environment on the company that was complained about of being buggy and then waited 2 months to just claim nothing at all was wrong they would fire my whole department.

They have changed loot several times as evidenced by patch notes, and obviously have the ability to change it on the fly. Yet they wont admit to the fact that they cant uncover the bug affecting folks in this thread and the other folks who have it yet dont post on forums and just left.

X-Files level conspiracy? Wow, and I thought the thread title was insulting. I’m done with this game.

In the Bugs forum there is an on-going discussion about missing chests from dragon events. Jason King said this:

Did any of you do another event prior to fighting dragon? It’s possible you’re hitting the DR if you completed another event beforehand.

Seems the DR is very strict indeed these days.

I didnt get any mail about events in Diessa either. Guess I’ll go try and find the Coordinator to see if he has any flavor text/lore to enlighten me. These events are somewhat frustrating.

imbalancedhero.3968:

Remember the early days of release (not sure how long you have been playing this game) when kholer in AC used to be everyones worse nightmare, and that 2 weeks later people were speedrunning AC, and now people are glitching him? Yeah, thats the biggest problem with making skill based pve rewards in any game.

Sounds like a case for more QA testing before release to live, and perhaps a limited public test environment.

Went the same way as guesting. And minigames. And the character personality dynamic. And back pieces/armor. And town clothes. And LFG system.

Delayed or pending.

Nice graphic. This thread has made it longer than I expected, although it is the weekend.

We are about due for a half page long post, then quadruple posts, from Aproposs.

Anyway you guys are barking up the wrong tree with this shared loot table non-sense. And out of all the places for the alleged economy lead “John Smith” (seriously?) to post, he doesn’t post here?

Weren’t dyes supposed to be craftable by cooks? I thought I heard that once.

They are.

The recipes are downright obnoxious, though.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chef#Dyes

Ah, thanks for the info.
And to the guy who says dye drops “regularly” in PvE: Your definition of “regularly” is certainly different from mine. I regularly get Porous Bones. I rarely get dye. Hell, I get yellows more often than I get dyes, and I hardly ever get yellows!

Lunar Sunset.8742:

I have high hopes for the scavenger hunt, just saying ^^

Same here. And not just for Legendary items/pre-requisites.

I hope the stories and features are all about:
1.) Bug fixes
2.) Releasing content/features promised prior to release (guesting, mini-games, etc)

Wow, that is pretty harsh. They said they don’t have the ability to promote members of a guild? Surprising.

I wonder if ANet is going to “own up” as to why they completely ignored this thread? Yeah, I doubt it.

Paul.4081:

Because of Crystin Cox.

Oh boy. Checking in before this topic gets locked or deleted.

Dont know if this will be read but,

You OBVIOUSLY changed the drop rate from the
icebrood elementals and more specifically the minor icebrood elementals drop nothing anymore, ever. 60 minors killed 0 drops of any kind.

Vicious claws drop rate from greater elementals also seen massive reduction.

0 info in patch notes……anywhere

That was ninja nerf, yes. No patch notes, yes. But they declared (can’t find proof) something like “summoned mobs must not drop anything”. Bug fixed

Here’s the proof:

Thexremstar.1457:

MF does not work on chest loot so jormag doesnt count!

I should clarify, the numbers of rares mostly came from Cursed Shore farming, not the Jormag chest.

The only reason I mentioned the Claw of Jormag was because of the spawns during the event, not the chest. The chest was not factored into my numbers.

Summoned mobs dont drop loot any longer:
