Awesome – some awe.
Awful – full of awe.
Neither word actually says whether the awe is good or bad.
I think the number of bugs introduced with every release is awful. I think that releasing content with simple basic oversights (bugs) in them is awful. I’m an IT professional in the Real World (i.e. not gaming). I’d be fired if I did that as regularly as Anet (and every other gaming company) do it.
I’d like to know why new crafting materials were introduced without appropriate slots in the collection bank. Some have since been patched, not all (why did it take a year for a slot to be introduced for Foxfire Clusters, for example? Are you hoping that people will spend Real Money on extra bank space?). I’d like to know why Legendary collections were released that have items that are simply unobtainable in the game (Scarlet’s Prototype Mechanism for The Predator, and for one other leggie, I believe, as an example). And very, very simple fixes have still not been applied. That’s just dandy.
Are you still reading, John Smith? Or do you only reply to people who tell you you have some awe?
shots fired
and jesus christ Raedwulf, bug fixes take time. stop being a cuck
3 weeks for a few collection items? Good god I hope not. Oh wait…

I don’t think it’s John Smith’s fault that there are bugs… just saying mate.
That being said I wish we could at least get an ETA for these unobtainable precursor collection items that have been unobtainable for almost 3 weeks now… As it stands at least half of the precursor’s in the game are uncraftable due to a single unobtainable collection item.
Just don’t choose Bolt, Frostfang, Predator, or Kudzu, to name a few, or you auto lose this “competition”.
So… are we looking at Tuesday then?
I sure hope not…
When I got to Bolt tier 3 completion @ 93%
And I found out I couldn’t finish the collection, at 1st I was like, well, the xpack just launched.
I’m sure they will get to these bugs in time.A few days later, I was still positively hoping and believing they would eventually get to them, in the mean time they would reassure us by acknowledging the bugs and telling us they will get to them as soon as they can.
Now, 2 weeks after, I’m just furious and feeling RIPPED OFF
I’m 1000g into the collection, cannot finish it, the devs don’t even acknowledge the fact there are bugs.This is expansion content, yet NOTHING has been done to remedy the situation.
It feels like a deliberate attempt to boycott us all, think about it almost every single precursor collection is bugged and cannot be completed.
It’s like they sat down and said to themselves, well, we gotta release this but we gonna make it so no one can complete them, this way we can actively monitor how long it takes for them to get to the bugged, blocked off part of the collection and than we will know if we made it right or too easy.
Well seeing as they intentionally disabled Glacial Imbued Jar which is a collection item for Frostfang as you can see here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Glacial-Imbued-Jar-Disabled-Temporarily
They are certainly doing something weird. I’d like to think they aren’t just using us as beta testers, but seeing as we have received no response about T3 bugged collections I’d assume it is intentional.
They will most likely be coming out with a large update this week seeing as they haven’t had a substantial update for about a week so hopefully we will see a fix then. (Crosses fingers for today)
I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to give a simple “Yes, it’s being worked on” or “we are aware of the issue, but are focusing on other things.” It’s coming up on three weeks now that this issue hasn’t been fixed or even talked about for most of the precursors. It’s borderline trolling and simply unprofessional for expansion content that people paid for to not be working almost 3 weeks after release.
Anet i’m going crazy over here trying to finish my T3 Bolt collection. I have EVERYTHING needed to make Bolt, I just need to finish this last pre collection so i can progress. Please fix this, ive waited long enough =\ especially after ive realized that if I had not done the collection and spent an extra 200g I could have just bought it off the tp :’(
Probably won’t see a fix for this or the other precursor bugs for awhile. Anet most likely put them on the back burner and is prioritizing other bugs first considering the last time this thread was responded to by an anet staff was 11 days ago. Sad that some of us have waited a year or more for precursor crafting only to have to wait even longer.
It is what it is I suppose. It can be frustrating and even somewhat disheartening to go through all that effort only to be stopped by a bug with no knowledge of when it will get fixed or if it’s even known/being worked on.
That being said I think the team that worked on the precursor crafting did a great job and I really enjoyed doing it up until the two bugged collection items for zap.
Curious of what you mean by “doing a great job” is.
1. Messing up the market due to extreme material sink on certain low tier ores.
(They’re too lazy to calculate a more diverse and complicated way of spreading the cost, and just straight up use Deldrimor, Spirit Wood, Elonian as a way to increase the cost to match or exceed TP price of Precusors)2. Almost ALL of the Precursor crafting has problems in first part or last part. No exception according to my knowledge.
They seem untested and inconsiderate (of inflation), like a last-minute thing that’s rushed out. If that’s great job to you, I find that you really have low expectation.
“Doing a great job” to me is when I have fun acquiring something that previously had no value or meaning to me other than just another piece I needed to make a cool looking weapon. I made frostfang a year or so ago and honestly it just felt like a huge money sink for something that looked cool, which is fine. Obviously something that looks awesome should have a high price tag or everyone would be running around with it, which leads me to my next point.
A LOT of people commenting in this thread and others on the forums complaining about the price. While I can agree with you that they may have been able to do a better job on spreading the cost to other materials rather than just 70 Deldrimor or Spirit wood etc. to avoid inflation of those materials it will eventually steady out and the market will adjust. I assume precursor crafting will be 100-200g cheaper. Honestly precursor crafting is exactly where it should be. The price should stay around the same if not slightly cheaper while letting people do “quests” to feel like they earned the item rather than earning the gold for the item. It’s really exactly what we asked for years ago when the topic was brought up.
THAT BEING SAID I am getting rather annoyed with the lack of ArenaNet response on this topic. If we don’t at least get a reply on this by Monday i’m going to take a break from the game. This is expansion content that has been broken for over two weeks now.
ATTENTION ANET
Can we please get a response???
It’s the weekend. No one is working now. Wait till monday. Then maybe we can have some light shed on this topic. (Hopefully)
Pretty much title. Finished the story and it’s just taking up inventory space now… Just wondering if it’s needed or used for anything later on.

This exactly. While I really enjoyed collecting all the stuff for the precursor, the fact that I can’t even get what the collection is promising because of a bug is really diminishing the experience. I also have everything. Just waiting on this bug to get fixed.
Can we at least get confirmation that this is getting worked on? The last post was about the dusk precursor bug and it took 6 days to fix that…
Was enjoying the competitive side of gw2 until I realized all you have to do to win is play turret engi. Kinda sad really.
Axe mainhand won’t be very good.
with 3 in nature magic the axe becomes 100x better then it used to be. With only 3 in nature magic and no other runes(IE strength) pet gets 25 stacks of might and holds it with ease. With runes of strength 25 stacks of might is attainable with just axe auto hitting multiple targets. Axe is probably the best thing for dealing with trash in dungeons/fractals for rangers now. With 25 stacks of might it most definitely out damages a sword or greatsword at least hitting multiple targets. a/wh s/a is my favorite combo now.
If you have a decent ele in your party you should be having that kind of might anyway and using sword or GS for trash.
Yes, with ele + guard you could probably get 25 stacks, but using that logic RaO is no better than trash. You are probably right in an optimal party axe would not out class gs or sword, but that’s why you bring a sword as well. I don’t see much point to carry a sword and a gs since in an optimal party sword always outclasses gs, so it pretty much boils down to axe mainhand or the new LB. There are certainly perks to both, but I find the axe more appealing.

This thread is just dumb. It is meant to be EXTREMELY difficult content. If you can’t learn how to use Teamspeak then you shouldn’t be doing this content and before anyone says that i’m some member of TTS or w.e i’m not. This content is NOT exclusive and here’s why.
I recently came back from about a 6 month break of gw2 and I have to say that this boss is the ONLY reason that I am continuing to put my time and money into this game. It has been the most fun I’ve had in this game since launch and yes, I failed more than once. Eventually I got into a world where there was actual organization going on and NO it was not TTS. It was Attuned [Att] (I think) and they were awesome! They posted their teamspeak info and I got on in less than 2 mins with ease. The fight was explained perfectly and everything went smooth. After that I decided to look more into guilds that did it frequently and found TTS. I went on their website and saw exact times for when they were doing it. I got in their ts with EASE when they were doing the event and got to their instance with EASE. There was no exclusivity and I had as good as a chance as any to participate.
TLDR: Don’t call difficult content exclusive because you have to be a little more proactive to beat it. Instead thank the people who made it possible for you to beat it IE. TTS, ATT, etc.
