Guild Wars 2

Why am I reminded of BioWare’s empty promises of fixes and working content on a few patches yet never delivered anything useful for a few months of said patches dev time?

Hmmm, bringing false hope is not a really good way to keep people playing your game. I mean look what happened to SWTOR in only a few months after release, lack of content aside, many I played with left because of BioWare’s poor attempts at fixing serious issues.

Guess I’m going to shelve GW2 till my Ranger is fixed, came back a few days ago found out they were getting worked on so I got excited. Now, false information was given and I just don’t feel like logging in till I see actual work being done on the profession.

Really glad I don’t have to pay a monthly sub for this game, not even sure I’ll do the special event this weekend. Really disappointed with this patches “fixes” and lack of proper follow through on what was said would be in it.

The issue isn’t with your computer or your hardware, for whatever reason at certain times in the day since a recent patch people have started getting connection issues. I’m able to run everything perfectly fine, Streams, XBox Live, PSN, downloads, other MMOS. However once I load up GW2’s client my PC’s internet takes a massive dump every 5-10 minutes.

I’ve never once had an issue with lag or disconnects with GW2 until these past few days. It’s very annoying and needs to be addressed soon.

Everything has a chance to group something during events, if you’re really using 150% MF then I highly doubt you’ve never seen that guy drop something. I don’t run more then maybe 75% MF and I’ve had a least 1 Blue I remember off him.

Like I said though the point is the Karma, which gets you the gear you’re looking for.

You don’t kill the boss for drops, you kill the boss to finish the Event to get the Loot Chest (which has your drops) plus the XP and Karma which can be used to buy gear.

If you’re doing the lower end Event Bosses, which usually aren’t going to have a Loot Chest, that’s actually fairly normal.

Like I said earlier the whole point of them is to do the Events, some flip Waypoints, some unlock Dungeons, some enable Dragon fights, and some have you kill a God to control it’s Temple allowing Karma Exotics to be bought.

TL;DR

Events = Karma/Money
Karma = Gear/Crafting Mats
Killing random NPCs while doing Events = Gear/Money
Killing Bosses to get Loot Chest = Gear/Money/Crafting Mats

The idea behind killing said enemies is a challenge and for fun, I mean an open world “Raid” event that gives XP, Karma, Silver, mob drops, AND a loot chest at the end?

If you increase your Magic Find% well then chances of getting decent/good gear increases.

I did the Balthazar Temple a few moments ago, we failed because people were lazy or whatever and didn’t run back. but I made roughly 4k Karma and 3 gold for maybe 1/1.5 hours of doing an event.
