I really wonder what those previous Living World rewards are going to be.
If there’s a chance for the gas mask….
Haha, this thread was made a year ago.
So about those precursors…..
I would like to see more engaging ways to get good weapon/armour skins. Basically take the same system you have for ascended items at the moment but instead of the end result being an ascended item with higher stats it is instead just a really cool skin. Most of the time the new skins are just chucked in the chests or in the gem store and you just buy them or wish you could afford them.
The only current examples of this in game are the Legendary weapons and I guess you could argue for the dungeon skins but that’s pretty much just ‘run this one dungeon a lot and if you don’t like it well then too bad because that’s the only way to get it’
Are those armour sets only usable in spvp?
That’s so typical.
I’m pretty excited to see the new weapons. Some of the new ones have been really good.
This is a really awesome change, thanks Anet.
I’m really surprised that people are complaining about this. Stop it.
Yeah this is a really silly change. It just pushes Thieves further into solo roaming and ganking people. It’s funny because I thought that’s what they’d be nerfing.
Think about it this way. We all know about WoW and the 15 bucks a month sub fee that came with it. Anet put no sub fees, no recurring payments of any sort. This is their way of maintaining that business model. Their way of providing a game without obligatory or mandatory payments. I think they’re doing what they can to appease us players, but they need this kind of money to keep running. They gave you a game without a monthly fee and now they’re asking for the playerbase to voluntarily give them financial support to keep this going. And RNG makes them money.
The trouble is, that 15 you spent on WoW just won’t get you very much here. You could buy a few chests but the chances of you not even getting a single skin is quite high.
If you could just buy the weapon skins in the gem store then this problem wouldn’t exist. I can’t say what method makes Anet more money but I know that I personally won’t spend real money on a chance to get a skin, and that seems like quite a common stance around here.
Check reddit, people datamine and post the results there. It’s a minipet and “Jade something weapons”. Or something.
Really sad that Anet keep doing this.
Chuck them in the gem store RNG chest or whatever but please give us a way to get them by actually playing the game.
IE we get one for doing the F&F story or a dungeon chest reward etc.
They do this every single time they put skins in those chests.
How are people still surprised when they open 50+ chests and don’t end up with anything?
It’s hard to see the community as shortsighted when we just got yet another weapon-skin-in-chest.
Putting some weapon skins into actual gameplay would be nice, so maybe you should be talking to Anet about this?
How much gold or $$ does 40 keys cost? Must be quite a lot lol.
I always have the feeling that there’s people with vested interests posting in these precursor threads. Either it’s the people selling mats (i got my precursor in 10 tries) or the people that sell precursors (I made 10 thousand rares/exotics, still nothing).
Correct. You can’t really believe these stories.
Dungeons and Fractals should have the best rewards, end of story.
The World Events can literally be completed by you press 1 once and then alt tabbing out, that’s fine and all but why do these give better rewards than playing actual difficult content?
I can’t believe they raised in price so much.
Anet will certainly release the skins again next Halloween, sell now imo.
I really hope the loot in the main chest doesn’t revert back to all greens and blues like it was before the patch.
It’s nice to get decent rewards for once, and it’s good that people now do the Temple events. Just fix the guesting issue and make Maw, SB, Wurm harder.
The “limit of one chest total per character per day” idea is really stupid. Good luck finding people to do most of the events. People will always take the easy option and that means killing Maw and ignoring the other events.
Anyone have a Balth temple open atm?
And thats only for 1 item. Someone with full ascended will have a massive advantage in WvW.
This should be the next event.
lol, after I’ve seen what happened during Halloween, I basically waited one day after Lost Shore is in and then probed the forum for people’s response to those chests.
Needless to say, it is still the same old scheme, and my money is saved. Thank you Anet.
Exactly what I did. I really don’t see the point in buying those chests, for gold or real money.
If they came back to get the next tier of stats then won’t they just leave in a week once they’ve grinded for them?
what did you guys do from 1 to 80? Sit on the same gear for 80 levels?
No, I geared up and HATED EVERY SECOND OF IT. All I wanted was to get to that final plateau where I never had to worry about making sure my boots weren’t out of date. I hated seeing all of my hard earned money disappear every 10 levels because I had to grind out crafting or purchase stuff through the TP just to keep up with my content level.
If only the story actually gave decent leveling gear instead of blue pieces with crappy stat distributions.
This is how I feel about gearing up. I don’t want to chase numbers over and over.
Adding a new tier of stats shows that something must be wrong. I don’t think the game is dying but they must’ve kept far less players than they thought they would.
I guess it comes down to if this update will bring back more players than it loses…
Logged in, saw the ascended items being posted in chat and lost my motivation to play. i’ll check out the dungeon but if it really takes 30+ runs to get one of these items I won’t be playing.
Watching Prices on Pre Legendary go up 400% in 3 weeks is absurd from any economist point of view. You could say Supply and Demand.. but the truth is that inflation on a major scale is happening.
That’s not inflation, that’s precursors finding their value. The price on a lot of things has actually dropped…
Putting 40 exotic level 80 Staffs into the Mystic Forge and guess what happened?

If you spent over 100g and only ended up with 40 staves then you’ve already wasted a lot of money.
And it’s a complete waste when people forge all the left over items without checking to see how much they can sell for. Sell them and buy more of the cheaper items, that way you get more chances.
The mf really isn’t that expensive if you use it wisely.
CrashB is right. You picked a really weird thing to complain about. You can also just buy them off the TP for really cheap.
It’s pretty obvious the MF upgrade rates have been changed at least once. You would actually make money from it by putting in greens or rares and getting an upgraded item.
Now it’s not as risk free to make money and that’s probably what Anet originally intended with the MF.
