Good grief. They not only sort out the problem but also offer an extra 100 tickets to EVERYONE as compensation, and people are STILL whining? And NOW they’re also whining about the compensation. Wow.

The point of a competitiong if everyone get the same reward? whats the points of the league? just put the toket as week rewards then, dont make something that is supposed to be rewarded to thouse who tried to get their server up, and not to everyone.

So go to olimpics and just give everybody a Gold Medal except to the first ofc, because he deserves 2

Wow look how everyone is so quick to forgive. All they have to do is throw a virtual weapon skin at you all and your nerd giggling with glee.

They DID NOT solve this quickly. This was a low priority issue

You don’t owe them “thanks for fixing”. They continue to screw up. Fixing this is their job. You paid money for this game people. Maybe your expectation are much lower then mine are (actually, they obviously are)

You don’t need to thank fAilNET for communicating. After them stating publicly they were going to.

Seriously… go back and read some of these comments:
“Hey, all right! A solution that makes sense. Thanks, Anet.”
“Thanks for the reply; that was well handled.”
“Thank you Arenanet! Appreciate the hard work you’re doing!”

Appreciate the hard work? Are you kidding me? Someone else on a previous page apologized for his comments and praised them for his weapon skin.

I thought people finally saw through this companies BS. This is why ANET will NEVER change. It’s because of you all and the fact that your wooed with fluff. I hope you all know that the time and money you dump into this game is for RENTED play time. You are paying to rent your characters and play time from ANET. They are not yours

Considering that people like you only complained about this because of a skin, or other rewards that can be obtained elsewhere, I’m surprised you weren’t quick to forgive either. Anet is not going to take a minor inconvenience and treat it like compromised accounts. Your level of outrage is completely unreasonable, because nothing in the game (except a skin) has been locked for you. The worst that happened because of this is that the rewards were delayed. That’s it. We had to wait longer for SKINS. THAT’S IT! You’d think that you were confusing Anet with Monsanto or something.

This game is all about fluff, so naturally Anet’s “appeasement” over a minor bug with an extra 100 tickets is a very good thing, because that now means that thanks to this bug (silver lining) more people can now get the skins that were otherwise forbidden to them. Yet get the pitchforks Anet didn’t give me my skins!

this is basically another problem, i do WvW and want something unique or hard to achieve and by givving 100 extra tickets, there isnt any unique, there isnt any reason to fight for in any league, if everyone can get everything.

Whats the point of a league if the last one get the same as the first? dont call that a league and give tikets every week then, else go give another s*** as free gems dont taint the efort ppl do make in leaves for the shake of winning

In that respect, servers that scored higher get better rewards. If you placed 1st, you are the only people capable of getting 2 mistforged skins. Everyone else will only get one. So if you run an ele, people will know you were 1st by virtue of the fact that you are wielding a Mistforged Scepter, and Mistforged Dagger.

And by going 2 dagger you just need 1, the point of trying to get any other place that its not the 1st, and even being first its not as the rewarded you in an unique manner…

So if everybody can have the “special weapon” skin, what were we fighting for in the league? i wonder were the unique rewards were and what was the point of trying to win, just more of what everybody has?

Town clothes make you so you cant see any diference between heavy, medium and light clothes? o sorry, i though that Achivement skin armor made that already… silly as to see a norm thief with radiand shoulders looking like a heavy tank…the same way you cann see a norm elementalist that way…. and and engineer and…..guess what, do that witha GS mesmer, Gs Guardian, GS ranger and GS warrior and try to tell what class is who all being norms so you can see enormous shoulders…

So still no answer from Anet about this bug? or at least if its working as intended?

As Title said, im trying to do the achivement that goes evading or simply not being hit by the Primordial Hologram, i Play looking the combat chat and payin atention to everything and I found that the hologram launches a “Ray Of Light” (the purple straight line with a blue line in the middle) that is not visible and stays there, i do try to be aware of everything for the achivement, but i cant do anything to invisible attacks, it happens in the first few minits of the event, that one (or some?) of the ray of light she launches are invisble and just appear the damage on the combat log.

I do try to see everything and if its not a bug i would apreciatte some advice as im at my wits end to do the achivement and cant manage to pass thorugh thouse “ray of light” that cant see.

I also tried this a few times and always happens to get damage walking on some places that are not supposed to be any of thouse ray of lights.

As the screenshot displays (in spanish), if you reach one of the destroyed lion on lion arch, all the events ongoing appear, at least the 100,300,600 etc, and the rescue citicens, maybe I climbed to somewhere it wasnt supposed to or they didnt think of?

Agree 100%!

robocafaz.9017:

Is there any evidence to back up this claim? I find it peculiar that it took three weeks for anyone to say anything about it and the only thing here is an echo chamber of your 55/60 people saying “AGREED 100%”!

Read more the forums, there are 2 post with some screenshot and data there, dont just read the “hot topics”

Sure you can see a wonderful country once you hide the kitten

So we get ignored once again?

Then put on tequal so 360 ppl on EBG can kill it on SM, or even better, make the destroyer, jomag and tequal attack at the same time each EBG bases.

So in the end, we are being ignoted to oblivion again? i dont think thats the correct way of aproaching the forums and the players, as an important matter like this one is being just left to dust, being deleted once

Ricky.4706:

it’s probably my fault for bringing up the gvg event – but i thought it was important to my point of showing how people don’t need a computerized score to be competitive.

making a whole server work as one causes standards and the grind becomes inappropriate – its natural to want the best build with the best coverage for your team – if the whole server is a team and not everyone can keep up to that cookie cutter ascended warrior / guardian all day and night all maps full standard – it’s not true competition….it causes more stress and grief than fun because now in order to be accepted …you need to make a ________ and use a _______ and be rank ______ . ……it’s just a contest of who has the biggest kitten – not who has the best skillz.

- strangely enough I actually did mean kitten rofl

Stop talking about others things that are not directly related to the post, this things are what give them excuses not to respond, the post title say enought, so just dont go off topic, if you want o talk about other things, do them in another OWN post.

Again, as the title say, can any Dev talk about this matter in a way or another?

Still i would be glad if some dev could talk about this adding on WvW, and the reasons behind it.

I dont think its and unreasonable resquest to see what Devs think about this move, as they can see, it sure had a quite bad impact on gamers, not to blame anyone, maybe we are wrong on our way of thinking, who knows, but guessing wont do any good to comunity and will just add more fuel.

Make the world porpulation (currently playing at the moment) a “thread level” and make the earned ppt based on that thread level, so if you fight 2 crowded servers you will earn more ppt simply because its harder for your server to atain them, also making the gap between high WvW-populated servers less, just rewarding the prime-hours more than off ones.

by thread level i mean the sum of the other 2 servers your fighting

There was a post this afternon but i cant manage to find it now… as the name goes, Why did you put LW events on WvW? i though they said they wouldnt change anything besides Fixses and Bug fixes on WvW.

Then that say, I do not agree with that, but im just a player, could we get some red response on that change at least? I do not intend to make this a rage post, i just want some red response on this matter.

You know, in spanish translation of the haloween weapons, the staff its called “Go to kexes hill and talk to Kasmeer and …” so big spoil to go there….

Gummy.4278:

I do that while WAITING since this whole thing is waiting and waiting not playing mind you. I might watch a little television while the wait is on. Yes , I will have my headset on waiting to hear “Something is in the Water” line and I will snap back to my computers screen.

if you got the headset, just adding a message sound like ones that already exist in the game, when whisper, get email, event activates and so, it would not be a problem, you listen and still get time to type that you are there.

Due to the new event of Tequatl, that requieres a lot of effert and coordiantion, the lack of server slots and the massiver overflow is just amazing, muhc of this problem is the afk people, that say, my suggetion in AFK report or like in Gw1 inactivity report is that:

* This report is a measure to JUST Disconnect people
* This just works when at least 20 people report the same person in a window of X time (sort of 2 min or so)
* The person reported will get a window that puts something like "You will be disconeect for inactivy in X seconds if you dont type “ok” and Press Enter" (or just press enter)
* Not to abussed of this kind of report, make it so the inactivity message has interal CoolDown of 8 minutes (so you cant spam/annoy anyone untill he leaves).

I know i should not spect a dev replay, but i would like to hear at least what devs think about Tequatl and AFk peple, making really hard to kill it when the activ players are sent to the overflow

Death Shroud cant hit the Thief even in stealth with 4 and 5 as they hit in AoE and they dont need to target, if you can guess more or less where is, at 600 range you can root him, besides as they told you, Stakitten Marks and Spitfull Spirit you can more or less deal with him, another tool ys place your Wall and dance side to side to force him not to engage you.

You got some ways to deal with Thiefs that “perma” stealth, if that isnt enough, roll over thief a couple of times to get how a thief moves, just so you can guess how his going to move, some basic knowledge about a class ( in a practical way not in theory) helps alot to start dealing with them

-Kick: it’s still useless, maybe it needs range improvent (600).

I just hope they change kick to Dropkick, jumping to hit at range of 600, even if its crap just imagining it i would play for fun. (not trolling despite im laughting real hard just seeing my war doing that)

Well we got a lot of warriors who refuse to to use this, but complain about no sustain.

Thats because you can’t get to 500+ per tick in full zerkers gear and ruby orbs

nice, now, lest talk about sPvP and tPvP, ill wait for you while you take your time searching for stats on armors and ruby orbs.

leaving the so much apreciated Irony that ppl tend to show off so easy, here is no much room to stat diversity in sPvP and tPvP, as its all condensed on Amulet+Jewel, just 2 stats mix, and not the whole 6 armor pieces + 6 trinquets + 1 or 2 weapons (if dual welding) mix, so the way to fix the weakenss gaps of the dclases in PvP is not that easy talk kitten get of the 100b+zerker+ruby orb horse

Well they could split it and make it scale better in sPvP. There we go talked about sPvP.

Thats a good point, and at least worth a try without much “changes” spreading the same stats over trinkets, rings and amulets so we can have better combinations

5. To bear up under; withstand: can’t sustain the blistering heat.

7. To affirm the validity of: The judge has sustained the prosecutor’s objection.
8. To prove or corroborate; confirm.
9. To keep up (a joke or assumed role, for example) competently.

OP was able to do points 1 and 5 just fine utilizing some of the new utilities and traits in his video. You mad bro?

I supose you talk about the video he made, but, i would like to ask the OP how he handle Thiefs/Necros/Mesmers, and no, im not mad, as stated, not going agains OP, and as i said before, PvP is diferent in stats and not food.

Sure you can also go Full Melandru+Lemon Food, and you dont have to worry about Conditions at all, despite the Trait set up (here are some wquite good youtube vids on a roaming warrior on WvW that proof so)

but 2 “duels” with just 2 clases (warrior and Ele) doest make me see enough proofs to talk about better sustain on war.

Really, get mature, you guys cant talk without Troll, nor Irony in a respecting or mature way? or do i have to say “your a cancer”, “hater”, “cool bro”, “mad bro” and that kind of stupid way to talk to argue about a game mechanics?

But listen to Mijo Elementalist/Mesmer PvP rank 16, guy who love to troll on warrior forum.

OMG Daecollo second account again, gosh he spam more clones than a mesmer, you guys are the real cancer of warrior class.

Im not anyone underdog nor Second, third, fourth etc acount, as you can see the rest of my post (its not that hard), I try to speak of the sustain in PvP, and as stated, PvE is one world, where stats can be taken quite balanced due armor+trinque+weapons+food, and PvP another one, also i didnt bad mouthed the OP here about his video.

And again, OP tried adapting, but the sustain is as bad as it was, so if you want to argue be mature and do it in a non troll, irony on mode, dont have any problem in speaking about a matter despite haveing both oposite view of it

Are you Shimzor? Daecollo? or who? i just cant understand why people reply to my comments when i’m not talking to them…
BTW, yeah, warrior sustain is not good, but adrenal heal is better now and we can remove 3 conditions with a burst attack, i think that a lot of people use a FULL berserk build with something like 20-30-0-0-20 and whine about the sustain, in pvp you can equip a berserk amulet but with 30 points in defense, and see the difference.
PS: I dont want to troll anybody, i’m just tired of the haters that spam in the warrior forum.

1. Im not a hater, my main and only Char is my war, once reached more than 500 games in PvP with him (not counting tournes) moved to other chars (due to Achivements in PvP).

2. If you talk to people despite them NOT talking to you other DO THE SAME

3. Again, people do play and have options about game mechanics, so STOP the “clones”, irony and that al nonsense bad mouthing, forums are read by tons of poeple, and have the right to speak in them, being said that they can also AGREE in a way of disliking they way they implement the new meachanics, in this matter, about the warriors sustain.

4. STOP they “get of 100b+zerker” actitude, is quite old and much poeple just use GS due movility, not DMG, evade frames and gap aproach, also MUCH poeple dont use GS at all

Funny because according to these definitions, it’s exactly what Oreoginal did.

Thats because his HP was totally going up quickly that fight and not staying anywhere like a punching bag.

Yes totally right man.

He’s just mad that people are adapting to the changes and not blindly raging about them. Just sayin’

Skelemiere.3094:

lol blackjack, bunkers should be a threat now? Plus, if you want sustain when using 100b build with full zerk gear, it is not going to happen unless your warrior becomes a god..

In addition to your comment about the threat, why not use a clerics set? You still have power, plus if you use hammer and/or mace, that much cc will pose a threat..

Also, the banners help out your team too, with the benefits + regeneration..Since you know, this game is mainly about team play.

100b? you didnt even play a warrior at all and just speaking about hat skill proof it, 100b is made for mobs on PvE, 100b is the most stupid skill game ever to evade, saying you just need to walk no evade it, no need to spend endurance.

Going 30 Def and 30 Tac, to get the “sustain” is telling everybody that you are a bing Galapago Turtle, sure probably you might be alive being generous, 20 sec more, 20sec being generous, at the cost of, literally no damage, so you basically are a walking candy for anyone that wants sweety things.

Sustain? to get rid off conditions you need to Use Adrenaline (just speaking about new ways to get more sustain, not the skill that there were already in game, signet+shout), you need to land a hit to remove the conditions, ironically, Blind Condition denys this.

Even if you manage to remove the conditions, no adrenaline means no heal burst from Healing Surge (silly to use it sooner if you got Poison on…)

iNaddict.8021:

dominik.9721:

Hey,
The problem is all in all you run the same GS / Axe Shield build as before with lower dmg because of the new grandmastertraits.

I can understand that the warrior gets nerfed cause he was really op in Pve. But everyone expects that warrior gets also improved in sustain and so on.

We have the same problems as before. Engineers will easily kite us when he is spamming cripple and chill. Necros also mesmers also theifs also….. blind …i think i dont have to say sth about this… was blind really so weak?

A class that hast to be near to the enemy to deal dmg has got weak heals, weak cond removes and now also a dmg nerf.

So one question: WHY?

I thought Cond remove is buffed by a bit ..

Dmg nerf is only noticeable if you are those people who pool your adrenaline..

are we reading the same patch notes?

Dmg nerf is Dmg nerf, being in Grand Master now, because you dont go spaming Burst Skills without thinking. Blind makes you miss F1 Hammer, F1 Mace, F1 Sword, F1 Great Sword, F1 Axe, F1 Rifle, so, With no hit, no Adrenaline spent, so in the end, no Condition removal, did you ever played Warrior in gw2?

You can only use F1 LongBow to remove Condition hitting the air, because you know, everything but rifle and LB are MELE and counting Rifle you need to hit in other to remove conditions, makeing your Condition sustain disable due to conditions Chill, Creep, Inmobilization and Blind…

Btw no food on tPvP or sPvP.

are we playing the same game?

In response of the OP, as you can see reading my post, yes, they are all about how I think they are wrong, but.

• Hours spent on game 2100+
• Legendary made
• Dungeons made still got bored
• Spend 2h on sPvP and another 2h on WvW nearly everyday
• Over 7500 achievement points

I used to farm CoF not because i liked it, its because its the only profitable way to get money “fast” i spend hours and ours doing nearly nothing more than “siteseeing” the game, but the rewwards are poor and my patience to waste time is running, Skins also nearly the only motivation i have to play the game but, thwe way the introduce them in the game is by RNG boxes, I thought at begining coundt blame them, farme them, bhought them (with In game money not real life one), more than 100 crates opened 0 tickets.

By the way, i also tried reporting the same bug since beta, my char cant see “instanced portals” like the “home” in every starting city, i can enter them but, no way to exit without going to the mist of spending money on a TP, i reported it at least 30 times via game including screeshots option, no response from them.

Got 2 items that theorically i can sell them (halloween infinite transformation potion, solid potion(the one from orr boxes), the reallity says i CANT seel them because are bounded to my char, and i reported it, again, no response.

Over all the hours os patience, time spent and inverted, and wating, at beginig because “the game just realeased” and not “they are working on it but, its not a priority” burned my patience and just left the taste of ash in my mouth.

Summing that to some problem with the acounts at the begining that they treat me poorly, sorry if i speak harsh, but sometimes you get what you sow (i think thats the phrase).

Sorry about my english as its not my mother lenguage.

Back to topic and trying to put some advise to improve:

- People liked Molten Dungeong mechanics, as well as AC rework, do more stuff liek that

- New dungeons could use new Weapon or armor skin in a way its not token grind (achivements, unique way to kill bosses, or bosses killing order, with a 20% of droping skin)

- RNG unique skins made tradeable, so the BLT is more “lively”, some people that dont want to farm can try gambling for a great reward as they can sell it.

- the game was not made from grinding but in fact, people just do that, make some “farm” spot in a fun way, farming is not bad, just another game facet, in GW they were solo/Group challenges that the reward were thouse mats, a way to get mats via challenges is not that horrible, is it?

- Forget about Zonmoros, Mystic forge is ok, but dont make special skins out of that, people dont feel anything in the way they obtain the precusors or special skins like Dwaynas bow, make them to be crafted in a palce out there, like forging Vulcan in Mounts volcano dwaynas bow at her temple and so, you invigorate some forgoten by god but not farmers places this way.

Make some other sPvP modes like DeathMatch, Mini WvW maps for GvG (25vs25) and rank them, the PvP in GW" needs more love and not in a chest form, people want diversity.

About MMOs i played, GW1 is the best one i played, sorry but for me the “good old” gw1 system was awesome and skill based self-rewarded as you can see you could control the situations without random smashing buttons (seeing a cast bar could help that feeling to be back, as you cant really see what you interrupt besides spam the skill everytime the other char rises the arm)

Again sorry about my bad eng.

The problem is, what you put in the RNG lottery, not the RNG it self

Uruz Six.6594:

dbgamer.3407:

0/54 southsun crates – countless hours.

Nope, you’re right – doesn’t hurt the player base

So you have no counter to my argument, just griping over playing the lottery and coming up short. Well alrighty then.

dont misunderstand, here, we are talking about RANDOM boxes, not LOCKBOXES, as in othergames you can see, there isnt any kitten in lockboss, weapons liockboxes -> some random weapons. you could count Dye Packs and Mini Packs as lockboxes, no problem there, you get what you nearly wanted with RNG involved in the boxes, crates are just silly, something especial just for this event? no, not really, why? they get back Karka Event items as tiky Mask, and the rest of rare item skins as shark thooth swords and so. How are supposed to feel thouse who had this skins, as you can get them now reaaaaly easy? No point in random kitten, they could sell Sclerite Weapon Supply Crate, you could get a RNG WEAPONG (not ticket) in and i coundt “whim” as you are random trying, you get the loot, not saying you could trade them, but you still have to take your weapon out of every weapong type you can get, still random, still profit, and you could call that a LOCKBOX, not a RNG box.

And still is sad that people cant achieve some type of skins, i see them the same way as dungeong weapon skins, not as Legendaryes or Mystic Forje expensive skins, if you do something really especial and remarcable, being just temporal the way to get it, make it so one can see that was hard or epic to achieve, not saying you must be a hardcore gamer, just make people thinkg that the guy who weild it doesnt drop four leaf clovers out of his butt

Go and try stating something yourself out of my just 2 phrases about the game, try stating your arguments based on what they say on videos, really so sad, do it better.

Talking about the way someone types? whats next? a debate about our age? gender? even where are we born? so sad, trols “gonna” trols, hard to get anywhere with someone that tries to be o “on the ride” makeing the others look they arent, without proveing what he sais is true, go get somewhere that says ANET is the way you talk, i do it before, just state 2 out of ALL the thing out there.

If you expected to say every phrase on every video so you can prove them worng, without you saying any about your statements, so mature, try arguing in a more brainly way than the politics do.

I… have to take that whole improving your English thing back now. Don’t take it personally.

I’d love to respond to you, but I can’t make sense of what you’re saying. I’m sorry.

Trying my best I get the idea that you’re saying you don’t agree with me, I’m a troll, and you don’t have to provide any honest evidence for your claims because reasons and… babelfish stuff.

Hmm.

/shrug

oh, a “lets talk about our age” debate, nice, keep going

/sigh trols gonna trol, so sad, pretending to be mature is quite common nowadays

Fumbler.1384:

I’ve noticed in the past day or two that the overall chance to receive ANY kind of loot from creatures has dropped (or at least the skelks that i’ve been farming). I’ve been taking on 4 and 5 skelks at a time (solo) and not getting any of them to drop loot. Four days ago, the average drop percentage for any kind of loot was probably about 70-80%. In the last day or two it’s been about 40-50% if that.

Same feelings here about the skelks, not just crates, they droped T6 blood quite often, now if i get some grey chunk i can even feel lucky

So if they dont have touch anything, why is nearly everybody complainning about the crate drop being less that the first day? its not the first time they look at an event and they say they didnt touch anything and that it was right, just saying → “Final Rest” and S.Behemoth

The paragraph I quoted was directed at exactly your mentality,

I’m not arguing we should all run around with the same pointy stick. You’re supposing the direction of a piece you didn’t write as it applies to me.

If we have to disccuss or talk about the matter i dont mind, because we all cant think the same way, but get informed to do so, talking for the fun of talk just imagin the words out of the blue is plainly brainless.

You should rely less on the words of others and use your own.

Villious.8530:

I get what your trying to say, but I donot agree with you. GW2 was marketed about aesthetics and not stats. Not everyone thinks like you. We’ll just agree to disagree.

You’re at the opposite extreme.

Can I get a quote on that from a dev or the manifesto, or anything official where they said “this game is all about aesthetics, lolgameplay”?

You push your opinion like it’s a matter of fact.

Whereas if we look at gear objectively, every single piece of gear is exactly like the other one in it’s respective tier. The look of the thing is irrelevant.

Such a system pushes gameplay, not aesthetics. This isn’t to say that there aren’t aesthetics in the game. This game, every detail about it is beautifully done.

The topic at hand is arguing about the odds of obtaining a particularly trite crugly (creepy+ugly) piece of gear.

The game is so much more then sclerite weapon tickets. That this is a game breaker for some is ridiculous.

Regardless, you’re free to moan about sclerite weapons being too hard to obtain and I have proposed a suggestion that get’s you said weapons, RNG free.

If you don’t like it, that’s alright. You don’t have to think like me. You really shouldn’t think like me, at least, not exactly.

You should share some of your suggestions!

D.D : “The look of Guild Wars 2 is stylized. We’re going for a painterly, illustrated aesthetic. Everything in our world feels handcrafted and artisanal. We treat our environments as if they are characters themselves.”

R.S: “As a structure, the MMO has lost the ability to make the player feel like a hero. Everybody around you is doing the same thing you are doing. The boss you just killed respawns ten minutes later. It doesn’t care that I’m there.”

word of some Manifesto out there of we know what game we are talking about, just dont pointing names to not make the post closed, i would go on stating every phrase in every video but, i can see that you didnt even pay attention to thouse so basically, dont see that you are well informed to talk about the matter

If we havve to discuss we can discuss all night long, because we cant think the same way, but get informed at least to pust up an argue, not jsut talking thing out of the blue because you feel the game is like that, the videos and the phrses are our there, and as you have just proved, you didnt see them all.

Been doing southsun since yesterday and got two southsun crates. the second one had a scarlet weapon claim ticket. I hope this makes you all mad because your complaining about random chances being too random because you want to be guarenteed to get it, but it isn’t the point. It’s a rare weapon that you don’t really have control over whether you get it or not. Farming more or playing more or buying more from the gemstore won’t guarentee you getting it. That’s the beauty of random chance.

I personally enjoy getting random weapons like this. It feels special. I know that not any little jabroni can go and get it from grinding and only a certain amount of people will have it. And for me, this system works better for me. SAB had the same thing, but they also had the ability to farm currency for it. Well I didn’t have the time to get all the babbles or whatever they’re called so I couldn’t get one of those sweet hologram weapons. I didn’t get lucky that event, but i did this event and that’s the luck of the draw i guess.

But I don’t condone this for legendaries because the grind is so absurd it’s an impressive feat. Legendaries need to keep their reputation of being hard to obtain through a lot of time and work.

Its not a bad idea to go back and read your post before posting it.

Any little jabroni can get it you just said you did after doing no work.

I have been farming on various 80s since the release several hours a day and I have not seen the 1st crate drop for me. The last 2 days I have used %423 magic find yet still no crate.
Any content added to a game should be accessible for any player willing to play for it if its getting a raid together or simply putting hours of play time in or buying it from the cash store. This content is being restricted from me because I have bad luck.

edit* TBH at this point I am just quitting putting so much effort in getting a crate just to open and hope rng feels sorry for me is idiotic.

Yo, derpy. I read the post and meant what I said. I meant nobody can go and obtain it. There is no amount of work or smart play that will give you the item. Compared to legendaries in which you know the exact steps you have to take in order to get it and know how long it will take you to get it, this item there isn’t a guarantee let alone the possibility for some people. Sure finding crates and grinding helps, but it more just happens if it happens.

Now I’m no hardcore gamer. Lengendaries are far out of my reach and most temporary living content items are out of my reach. But, RNG items are still a possibility for me and are still special because no matter how hard some people try for it, a limited number of people will get it. And this is proven by your claim about farming forever for something, sorta like the heroin dragon. It’s not something meant to be farmed for.

I feel some people are just too hardcore and competitive to see why this is something some people like. They don’t like it when people who don’t play as much and good get something cool and they don’t.

A mate from guild got 3 pres on Mystic Toilet, Gods of RNG made him get his Legendary in 2 days, Hardcore? no, total randomness, btw it took me 2 weeks of insane farm to get mine, dont talk about “exclusiveness” of random [put a bad sounding word here] skin, where just 30 out of 10000 can have, making the game being sunk in “gameplay style with CoF skin, because its not necesary at all to get anything that doesnt burst your stats”, really to sad, 1 year and the game still looks the same? nice mmo, if u can call that, Messenger and Skype still have the same emoticons, ill use GW2 as the same to chat with random guys.

on first days of the event i could farm 10-15 crates (with kitten in all of them), now i barely can manage to get 1

So basically, game sticks to the same skins to everyone, so a year has nearly passed and just a new pair of glovess and some backpacks that you can see as a “evolve” or a “grow” step of the game, sad no real variety in game, nor weapons nor Full armors, looks like we just have to ask F&F event guys to do the work, and not let the “other teams” do the work, besides just fire the guy who said “lets puto thouse weapons on crates and sell them” he clearly doesnt play the game in normal servers, just on their private ones for testing.

It’s a skin, you don’t need it.

If you want it, start farming/buying. If it’s not worth the trouble than don’t do it. It is not detrimental to your gameplay NOT to have the skin.

I fail to see how this is hurting the playerbase in any way what-so-ever. They’re not giving ascended gear, they’re not giving anything that makes you a better player or gives better stats… it’s just a skin, you don’t need it. You don’t magicly get more awesome because you have a scelerite weapon.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. It is not gamebreaking to not have a rare skin. I personally was lucky enough to get the molten jetpack drop during flame and frost. Did I really have to work for it? No. Was it luck? Yes. Am I super OP now because I have it? Not at all. I am grateful however that it was very rare to get because I don’t see a 100s of other people running around with it, which makes my character look unique to others. Do I feel that my luck is unfair to others? No, because I will likely not get the same drops that they get during their time playing the game.

Gamebreaking? so lets stick with CoF skins for the rest of the gamelife, just, it isnt relevant to get more than that because its not needed or better, why bother to take more skins? they are not relevant at all, give me the stat grind fest that we all feel like is needed to change the items

“I agree with most of what you said, but you worded that last line incorrectly. They are not required to be SUCCESSFUL in the game, but whether or not they are required to enjoy the game is 100% subjective. For some players, aesthetics are a big part of a game and if they find an aesthetic they desire for their character and have no valid way of attaining that item, it can indeed kill their enjoyment of the game.
It would be like a raider being told there is a raid in the game and they have a random chance of getting to play it. You might be thinking “That’s different. That’s actually playing!”. No, it isn’t. That’s what a raider enjoys doing. Aesthetics is what others may enjoy. The way you are thinking about aesthetics, I am thinking about that raid. Me being able to enter that instance doesn’t affect my enjoyment in any way, shape or form, so I wouldn’t care if it was RNG.
Anet added this RNG in with super low chances knowing full well thakitten would kill the enjoyment of the game for certain individuals. That’s impossible to deny. But it’s that same fact that brings in so much money for them- those people are going to spend spend spend (if they can) to get those items to increase their own enjoyment.
They know those players want their next hit, and Anet is the only provider for them.”

You’re playing the wrong game.

You want to play a game that puts an emphasis on aesthetics. GW2, while it cares about aesthetics to a degree, is more instead about gameplay.

You don’t need the shiny new skin of the month to enjoy the game, objectively. The game is about gameplay.

Now, there is something Anet can learn here though. Something that will make them TF2 income; people will pay for exclusive skins, RNG-free.

Such as Roxx’s bow and quiver or Braham’s shield and mace as RNG-free straight up purchases.

BLC’s and crates need to have a decent chance of rewarding the RNG gambler. They need to be very cheap purchases in relation to the realistic chance of getting good bounty.

There’s a balance here to be struck, TF2 pulls it off well enough with their crates.

Here’s something else they do: They offer the contents of the gamble without the gamble… at a premium.

The gamble for such skins should be cheap. The actual skins should cost quite a bit more.

In this way, you encourage the “i feel lucky” crowd purchases and if they need the skin that desperately, they can buy it for quite a bit of coin, for a limited time.

Rare skins should be rare. Many TF2 items can never be obtained again after their initial release and time in the store.

Especially sought after items suffer from inflation as a result: GW2 doesn’t have to worry about this because such items can’t be traded.

It’s not unfair since every weapon or item shares the same stats as any other item or weapon in the same tier.

The difference is entirely cosmetic, ergo, irrelevant. It’s just a nice little thing to have. It’s not the emphasis.

But for the pedants and the compulsive, and the occasional savvy consumer who may just really fancy the skin, money in your pocket.

Make it in such a way that people who would exploit this for profit can’t make any, and for people that want to skip the RNG, have that option to do so.

In this way you reward your loyal fanbase who’s on this game like butter on toast and preserve it for people who come later.

Or don’t especially care about aesthetics but want to remain relevant.

But yeah, don’t make all new aesthetic options store only. Throw your non-store using gamers a bone every now and then.

Keep rewarding and thinking about your gamers who don’t use the store not because they don’t want to, but because they can’t for whatever reason.

You guys have been really good about that so far. Keep content rewarding for them as well.

The initial Southsun Cove event back in November was an awesome example of that.

Things like the molten gloves from F&F, the unique back pieces from the Southsun Cove story that you can earn, all these are great.

Go pleas read avout GW1 and GW2 when they told that the game was SKIN based and not a GRIND FEST game type, its not stats wise, its just they told us the game was about Aesthetics, so you didnt have to worry about stats, dont talk about the WoW like mentality were the stats is what make the item relevant or importanto, and BTW being rare and being imposible and not even accesible anymore, is not the same, really people like you will make the game boring, running CoF skins even after the 4 years of the game running, because, stats wise, is irrelevant.

You’re contradicting yourself – people should be responsible for their own actions, except that Anet should tell them not to spend so much money?

They are not forced to spend anything, I’ve spent less than $250 on this game since it was released, including copies of the game for my wife and I.

If someone walks into McDonald’s alone and orders a large Big Mac meal, and another Big Mac, does the cashier say “oh no, you’re too fat already, you can only have a salad.” They are happy to take your money and give you what you want. It’s up to you to control those urges and say when you’ve had enough.

I completely agree with you. If I see a new commercial about some new type of dish or sandwich at a restaurant they make it available for a price and I can eat as many as I like.

This game I play came out with a new weapon skin I wanted. So I went to work and made a lot of money went to the game store and to my surprise the weapon is not available for a price. Yet it is available at a gamble but I am not guaranteed to get it no matter how much money I spend. The item is also not farmable from mobs either. I have been told it will drop from mobs yet I have not seen one drop yet and I have been farming mobs since day one at least 5 hours a day. But the rate is so high its not considered farmable when you have a limited time. People play this off on the game needs income for new content. Read once and a while, they already make enough money to support the game w/o adding the rng boxes. The rng boxes are simply greed and a risk. The game has seen the enormous income from rng boxes so its hard to give that money up. All we can hope for is the current person in charge makes his millions and quits and the next guy to come along has some idea on how to treakittens customers and build a long lasting customer base before we all move on to the next rng game.

I wpuld really like to see that happening, it could really change the worlds of MMO, but not happening

Whats the point of doing something that you want see anybody using it? if there are over 3 million ppl playing, i wonder how many of these skins you will see, lucky if it reaches 30, still havent seen more than 15 molten skins, so awesome? i just see a wasterd efort from game designers to do that, nice way to not make the skin variety grow, always seeing the same weapons on everybody is just really sad, boring and feel like the game is stuck in time, no grow at all

same here, but i just get a tiki mask and a FAren

Let me answer your thinking with another users post from another RNG thread. It shows that not everyone thinks like you or values the same things you do. See below:

“I agree with most of what you said, but you worded that last line incorrectly.

As i said earlier, i agree with you, this game is about aesthetics, putting some TEMPORAL and any PERMANENT (gloves are jsut funny, because you cant get them in ALL your chars) is just sad, i would bother if the RNG was as low as is it now, if it was a dungeong reward from last boss chest, or a tradeablo ULTRA RARE drop from a event from one karka lost in who knows where, but it isnt, is just hurtting not able to see thouse skins moving around, because, sure you can see some molten facility weapons, but… not as much as to say that they really exist, variety makes the game prettier, just seen the same armors and weapons is boring, the world just doesnt grow at all

I would like to read what Anet think about the drop, basically, they sold the game saying it was Skin oriented and not Power item oriented, so, they game is based on SKINS, making htem nearly imposible to get (if you dont spend 200€ on them) its just stupid, really, its hurting the players, or do we just to carry Ascalonian weapons becouse, stats-wise, they just like legendaries? if the game is really made around skins, make more or make them acesible, its really regretable not being able to trade them

sorry, my bad didnt saw your post talking about the same thing

pro tip – corrupt boons.

realy, if you want to say something dont be a troll, the point of this disscuion its about the dynamics, besides as i “pro” typed, corrupt boons still kittens you so your stance is wasted, no point in posting something that is not relevant to the case as it was stated before
