I opened 77 chests and got ascended kitten. Zero. Nada. Bunk.

Which type of chests?

- Daily Fractal Adept (1-20)- has nearly no chance for ascended armor or weapons. rings can appear here. Why should this be better? It’s litterally baby mode fractals.

- Daily Fractal Veteran (21-50)- still not good drop rates on weapons/armor. Infused rings have a decent chance as well as normal rings. Still beginner mode fractals on about the difficulty of fractal 30 back pre HoT.

- Daily Fractal Champion (51-100)- 12% on armor chests, 4% on weapon chests, very high chance on rings and infused rings, decent chance on skins. This is the only real daily chest of value and the drop rates are fine.

- Fractal Encryption Box (any)- has a 0% chance on any type of ascended (and my guess is you were either refering to these or low level daily chests). Literally only good for gold rewards. You could open 10,000 of these and not get a single ascended item because they do not have ascended in the drop table.

So unless you want to share which types of chests you are refering to, no one can help you.

Opened 10 champion chests since patch : not a single drop apart from the guaranteed kittenty ones. So for me drop rates are still kitten. Before Hot I had almost every lvl 50 run something of value like ascended chest or a fractal weapon skin. Now well i get 3g and some useless tome.
Also don’t look at just one research :

When will this bug be fixed ? We didn’t even had a single dev to at least tell us they’re looking into it…

Been 2 weeks now and not a single word from a dev on forums…

I’ll be trying to contact you but I guess it’s a bit late right now so I hope i’ll get in touch tomorrow morning ^^

So let’s sum up :

Can’t attune rings after using an extractor on it. Rings were grandfathered with infusion +5 already on it when it changed

Fractal weapon skins collection isn’t taking into accounts all my fractal skins in wardrobe.

Act 2 of the story : the achievement with the traps is bugged. Even though it is completed i don’t get the achievement. Same thing for act 3 and the chak killer master. Killed every chak and didn’t get the achievement. Tried it multiple times. Either because chaks are stuck hidden in walls or just plain buggy because a friend managed totoet under the map and checked there was no chak left.

Small bug. On the pop up to join a fractal thr level displayed isn’t the right one

Bigger. I’m at 969MB and still downloading

That’s definitely not korean.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Did you update your ticket and request an Account Restoration? They aren’t automatic. Good luck.

Well I did ask in the first one but I guess I’m gonna remind them. Thanks for the tip

Hello,

I’ve been hacked on Sunday 31st. I regained access to my account and secured it but my account is still the same as the day I was hacked. Can I get a rollback before 9am CEST Sunday 31st ? Or am I just supposed to quit playing GW2 ?
I’m tankful with the speed at which my account got secured but it is kinda worthless if I can’t play because I have nothing left.

PS my ticket number is 871451 (I was asked to repost ticket number 868111 with another e-mail)

Regards,

I’d like a student invite for EU. Not a noob but been away for 6 month and I want to know what changed.

What I fear the most being downscaled to lvl 30 is how much noobs we will encounter… I used to pug fractals and do a decent job because around lvl 40 people were experienced.

Hi there,

Since I’m in college now and I can’t afford to pay internet I’m stuck with tethering. The thing is I only have 3GB per month. I wonder if it’s enough to play GW2 (around 2-3 hours a day at best). Of course after my 3MB cap is used I can still use internet but on GPRS or Edge. In this case will the connexion be enough to play ?

Thank you and sorry for my poor english

Apparently it’s only on EU servers ?

So basically you are saying “I want a weapon that I can craft like an exotic but which stats will upgrade everytime there is a better tier”… Legendary is a grind so you don’t have to re-create a new weapon everytime. Just craft an ascended weapon I’m sure there won’t be new weapon tier anytime soon.

If it’s only for games you could have a i5 there won’t be such a difference except for price.

Same one. And here I was gonna do my daily ARF ^^

Bumping this. Would also like to know.

After 12 months of farming I finally made it ! Crafted Kudzu just now. Felt so happy that I forgot all the times I wanted to give up

Same. Played BWE, played since headstart and nothing :/

I tried the “do an invasion on another character” and it did de-bug my completion

Same for Timberline Falls. Sadly those two are the least common map

I am the same. Got the reward for Timberline Falls but not the achievement so I’m stuck at 12/13. Too bad it’s one of the map that mostly never shows up …

Agreed. Especially the axe and shield

Looking back at the old Zodiac weapons in Guild Wars they had a darker blue like the night sky. They had more stars. → Looks like you want them to be like Guild Wars 1 or they are failure …

Rethmar Stokestrike.1927:

Dear ArenaNet,

While you’re at it making gold, badges, kharma, and everything else account bound….Why don’t you make world exploration, PvP and WvW progression, and dyes account bound too!?

Sincerely,
Your loyal fans who dump tons of moolah on gems.

PvP Is account bound no ? At least Glory level.
World exploration : impossible. It is needed to create a legendary so in order to have multiple legendaries you would have to repeat world exploration.
Dyes : I see no problem with it.

I’d love crossbows . I could see them on Engies and Thief for sure

Would see them more on Ranger than Thief. A crossbow’s not really “stealthy”

Here’s to hoping they make some non full stealth more rogue type builds viable for thief.

What I meant is it is not really for Thieves. It would be a slow weapon and Thieves rely on speed to take down their enemies (‘cause they’re squishy). They would have access to longbow if speed wasn’t a problem. And I even think crossbow would be a little bit slower than Longbow.

Antisceptic.9174:

Suggestion:
Master’s mourning:
Increase damage by 25% when pet is defeated.

Until you can summon another one.

We all know Anet wants us to use or pet. Following this idea most people would leave their pet dead because they gain some damage. Pet is a part of our class, must not forget it. But still worst pet AI I’ve ever seen in a mmo …

Aaaah I see thank you for the clarification

Didn’t pay much attention just noticed she was a Sylvari Alternative version ? But Snaff is really dead and they did argue about who’s fault is it no ?
But thought Caithe being a bad guy would have been fun ^^
Sorry about my bad english btw :/

I just replayed some part of the personal story and noticed that Caithe said to Faolain she would fall into Nightmare for her. Scarlet being a sylvari (she’s the same we saw at Queen’s jubilee right ?), wouldn’t Caithe be Scarlet ?

Well, I played for most of the day on Saturday, full MF buffs and everything. Had 1 rare drop the entire time. I’m convinced that someone else is getting my drops :P

No freaking way! I have at least 1 rare drop for every 2 champs. Only MF buff from NPC, no other MF sources.

Not everyone is lucky you know

Oh poor boy you didn’t understand what he said. Tsk tsk

Not sure if insult or …

Nah nah not insult just trying to make you notice that you misunderstood

MauricioCezar.2673:

¬_¬ . You have all areas in world to chase baloons. If you lose one due to you acidentally travelled instead of get chest, you only need to do other, and bask to that tower when the event is active again. The chest and the achiev meta respawn in daily.

False. I opened a chest yesterday. Went back today to check : still open.

You have to do the one in the center garden of Divinity’s reach

Serendipity.8326:

Just had this issue. The chest for the western balloon in Queensdale was already open the first time I visited it. Not getting recognition for the achievement either.

Same bug. Also I climbed the tower but the door closed just after and I got ejected outside and when i climbed up again the chest was already open though I didn’t open it before

Zacchaeed.2834:

I’d definitely rather an inexperienced PVT Guardian who falls over here and there as opposed to a Longbow/Shortbow Ranger, who has experience standing in Healing Springs and stuff.

And sadly they think melee rangers are in the wrong. Just some days ago I heard a bear-longbow ranger with 5k points (yay jp) “Ololol melee ranger sux u gonna die”.
Btw the guardian and ranger are both considered inexperienced.

mojowalker.3798:

Not sure about the hatred on the Ranger changes yet; haven’t been able to play (working; gotta pay them bills). BUT, from reviewing some of the discussion, I’m not positive it will phase me all that much … mine is a LB/GS Ranger (dunno why, just like the animations more?) and a I run a bear as my pet, which, unless I miss something, didn’t get touched at all. And with said setup and said pet, I’ve been able to solo champs without too much trouble — time consuming, sure, but doable. And that’s something I’ve never been able to do on my zerk warrior, which, of course, is probably due to by lack of hand to eye coordination rather than the build itself. But until I have the chance to run the patch and play around a bit, not sure if it will be as cataclysmic as the comments I’ve seen so far.

What people hate is ranger weren’t good at all for dungeons before. Now they may as well come naked it won’t change a thing. In Open World I don’t think it will bother people that much because they chose to play their character. But in a game where you get kicked because you’re not useful, they basically killed the Ranger in Dungeons.
Rangers might still be viable in Spvp and WvW, I don’t know I don’t play either of them, but when Anet said You can play the way you want it’s bullkitten.

Kichwas.7152:

Am I the ONLY one who saw all of those ranger skills that got a 14% damage boost?

Quick Shot: Decreased the range to 900. Increased the damage by 14%.
Crippling Shot: Decreased the range to 900. Increased the damage by 14%.
Concussion Shot: Decreased the range to 900. Increased the damage by 14%.

Ahaha yeah sure +28 damage is a lot of difference. I don’t really care about the range but seriously that was a Nerf not a buff. In WvW or Spvp it might be fair (BM bunker) but Dungeons… as if we weren’t already trash that’s no help for our team now we are just trolls.

Bright.9160:

And the fact that they’re so strong in PvP is the big reason why they suck in PvE. Anet balances around PvP, and often forget the impact it might have in PvE, or they underestimate it.

^This

Pet damage got nerfed because BM Bunker build did “too much damage” in Pvp. As if they weren’t already useless in PvE, now they tickle and are only 10 second meat shield. Though Anet tried to compensate with might, will see what how it will end but they force us to take a trait in order to have semi-useful pet.

Bright.9160:

Enewia.1356:

That won’t change the fact that we have sustained DPS and still won’t be easily accepted in dungeon groups. The lack of Trinity results in a game where Dps/Burst Damage is god. Hence player with sustained DPS are kind of … useless for most people.

No, the reason some groups avoid rangers are more than your DPS being ‘sustained’.

It’s because your DPS is trash in comparison to almost every other class in the game. Your spirits are situational and die too fast to be useful. Your pets are a liability in most dungeons due to terrible AI and aggro issues.

And, mainly: most Rangers you encounter are longbow camping cowards who stay in the backline and effectively leech off the rest of the team and bring almost nothing to show for it. Their only decent melee options are clunky as hell, their cleave damage sucks, their sword autoattack feels about as smooth as trying to dial your phone using oven mitts and they rely on their stupid pets for damage as well.

That’s why people don’t want you in dungeons. Not because your damage is ‘sustained’ instead of burst. Skills in GW2 have such a short cooldown in general that there isn’t something like sustained vs Burst and most high damage builds rely on rotations. In a sustained fight you’ll still be outdone by Warriors, Eles, Thieves, Guardians, Mesmers, Necro’s and Engineers anyway.

If you rolled a ranger for dungeon PvE, you wasted your time and the best option is to just reroll something that is actually useful.

Until the day they give the option to stow away your pet completely, and give the ranger DPS a boost for doing so and fix the sword autoattack, I’m not taking a ranger on my runs ever.

I agree with all you said. I just used sustained because that is what rangers trying to defend our class and pretending it isn’t kittened up in Dungeon.
I didn’t chose Ranger to dungeon. It’s my main and well I use it in dungeon because that is the only class I don’t mind playing hours without feeling bored. But apart from elitist there is a lot of groups that allow rangers.
If I need to farm CoF 1 I will use my war because, even though I hate its dumb gameplay it is one of the best class to dungeon, sadly.
Though Guardian seems like a lot of fun

Would be nice if we could buy a stone that would allow us to change Legendary stats.

I’m not sure either, it’s like half of the rangers on this forums don’t really care about balance, or feeling subpar. They’re happy with what they get, if someone doesn’t want them in their groups then they are just jerks, if someone criticizes the profession then its either “l2p” or “i just play my ranger because i have fun with her!”

Which is kinda cute. I used to think it was just being delusional, but now i’m not sure anymore, maybe its the fact that by know everyone knows the big pve issues with the ranger, so the people still playing it are those who enjoy the class and don’t care about balance, or those who are not aware of the situation ( due to being casual, or not having alts etc ).
And then we have a third category, the “defenders” aka chopps, durzilla and such, who have seemingly a good knowledge of the class, yet consider every nerf deserved, and every critique or request for buffs plain whining.

Personally, after 800 hours on my ranger, i’m beyond caring. I use her for open world stuff, care about dressing her nicely and giving her shienies. But when stuff gets real, i have a war, mes and guardian fully geared and waiting for some action ( althou i still prefer the feel of my ranger. but power>feelings for me )

what you says is true…. i dont understand either why anet only GOOGLED ranger from PVP aspect, they dont see ranger from PVE and DUNGEON point which is very very need for help, we cant deal damage like warior or thief, we cant be support like guardian or ele either, and we cant portal like mesmer, and worst when our pet died, we just “HALF CLASS” they didnt even consider that FOOD affect RANGER half effective from OTHER class because ranger BASE WEAPON DAMAGE is just kittening too LOW…… for any DEV who read this please dont PRETENDING TO BE BLIND and do SOMETHING…. for god sake 8 kittening month since jon peter post yet EVEN SWORD ROOTING AUTO ATTACK ARE NOT FIXED !!!

And you will see people saying : Yeah but Ranger can dodge pretty well. Sure, thief as well, but they have way more DPS. And what is the use in dungeon, dodging being no support to your team.

Daecollo.9578:

If leaks are real:

Worst Profession in PvP:
Warrior.

Worst Profession in PvE:
Ranger.

Fix’d

Are you joking? Rangers even after the nerf can now get easy 25 stacks of might on there pets, the pets may have suffered a damage nerf but there other pets actually got buffed.

That won’t change the fact that we have sustained DPS and still won’t be easily accepted in dungeon groups. The lack of Trinity results in a game where Dps/Burst Damage is god. Hence player with sustained DPS are kind of … useless for most people.

marnick.4305:

But seriously, why would anyone care about anonymous people being angry.

That made me laugh. In that case why should we care about you being angry ? Ressources you flip don’t come from nowhere. If everybody flips there wouldn’t be anymore ressources incoming. Which will never happen of course because there is too much people playing the game.

Ahah got the achievement only right now…

Fishbait.6723:

Sat on Underworld server, saw fireworks (whilst /sleep).
No achievement etc…

You were sleeping ! Of course you didn’t see it ! :p
