Guild Wars 2

Phuriocity.9218:

Judging by your percentage (Exactly 1/5) it seems as if they knocked the entire mystic Forge system down a tier. At the moment, it looks like instead of 80% same level / 20% upgrade, it’s 80% downgrade / 20% same level.

And if this is true, then what’s the point in doing mystic forge? I’m sure tons of players will be lining up for diminishing returns…

Out of the 10 times I did the mystic forge today with lvl 80 masterwork swords, I received only 2 lvl 80 masterwork swords and 8 lvl 80 fine swords.

It was my understanding that the Mystic Forge will either yield 1 item of the same tier or 1 item of a tier higher(blue to green, green to yellow, yellow to orange). It is discouraging to say the least to see downgraded returns.

Until today, I haven’t really done the Mystic Forge in bulk since November. Back then, I did it well over 100 times (lvl80 masterwork greatswords) and would always get either a masterwork in return or, if I was fortunate, a Rare. Never did I experience a downgraded tier before today.

Please fix this bug ASAP. I have heard some talk from others that they are experiencing similar issues. New players are beginning to think this is normal which might explain why you haven’t gotten more complaints thus far.
