We did give them a chance, this was it. they promised that this update, the first actual major balance patch would fix a lot of issues. especially with the ranger, necromancer and elementalist classes, and instead of fixing many of the literal hundreds of bugs these classes suffer, Necro’s where all but ignored while rangers and eles received drastic nerfs.
the conformation that they only have two people working on class balance is just the final nail in the coffin. I have lost all hope and trust In my once favorite MMO developer.
It’s really sad, the kits needed the stats badly, and the conjured weapons are so bad that not even something like this could even remotely fix them. As someone with a ele as her main and a Engi and Necro alt, I really don’t see any point to playing anymore.
I was waiting for this patch to see if I could continue playing, and so far it has failed in every way I feared and in many ways I didn’t think possible, they really only have two people on balancing?!?! guess that explains warriors, guardians, thieves, and Mesmers got almost no nerfs and in some cases buffs, those must be the classes they play.
they need to make this into individual instances, the timer and buggy camera make this hard enough, but trying to find my little asura under all the giant norn and Charr is beyond annoying. This is not SPvP or anything like it, there should be no “competitive” part to this.
It’s sad when I have an easier time near the top when I do at the bottom simply because I can see my character and do not have to make blind leaps of faith.
So Guild Wars Insider got it wrong. That’s a first.
more like arena net’s twitter got it wrong, it clearly said the final event would be moved to the 28th
You can convert your gems to gold and buy the skins that way. I’d imagine it’s feasible if the current gem to gold exchange rate is still hyperinflated.
its not, the staff is going for 40g+ at the moment, and the GS is even more expensive
I feel for the people who feel they’ve wasted resources/time/money here but really, this is why the casino’s are full of people losing money. If you have a 1 in 100 chance of a win, it doesn’t matter how many times you lose, that chance still stays at 1 in 100 the next time you play.
You could open ten thousand chests and get nothing, your chance of getting a good item on chest 10001 is exactly the same as your chance on the very first chest you opened.
the difference is that at least casinos have the decency to actually tell you the odds.
@War
A company that talks highly of their community and of their business usually doesn’t do this. Being told this constantly gains trust. So no. It has to do with the company which is why companys like EA are looked down apon and others like Valve are treated highly. I guess I am too trusting. Also if you would read the post I mention the word “chance.” Chance doesn’t mean rare. Also none of the items in there would I even classify as being worth 100+ dollars or even 50. To not get one single thing is insane.
this is really the issue here. because of GW1 and their policies Arena net built up a very good reputation with their fans, much like valve has done.
We knew this was going to be RNG, we all knew we had a “chance” to get what we wanted or not. but because the PERCENTAGE was unknown, we guessed, and many of us who made the leap of faith are not new customers, but some of the older GW vets. We thought Arena nets policies would be at least similar to their old one. We where wrong, and got burned for it. Trust is a very important thing for an MMO, I waited years for even bits of information on GW2 based on that trust. and I will not make the same mistake again.

about 30 keys later, 1 skin and a ton of useless stuff.
you have no idea how lucky you are.
You are not guaranteed to receive a rare item after opening a Black Lion Chest. You have a chance to get a unique/rare item. Some people are luckier than others. The Halloween skins are tradeable, so if you aren’t able to get them in a Black Lion Chest, you can obtain them on the Trading Post.
….and there we have it. thank you oh so very much for telling us about the extremely low drop rates and the prospect of spending 40g on a SKIN.
good to know that the old A-net’s dead and it’s now nothing more than nexon 2.0
Troggdor.7324 you’re wrong. the chests have updated, people ARE getting new Items. the chance at getting them however is probably close to 1%-2% IF THAT. that’s why people are so disappointed with this.
What people don’t understand is that we are not adverse to spending money. I was a GW1 player for over 6 years, every holiday, I’d would buy the costumes, (even though I knew I wouldn’t use them that much) because it was my way of supporting Arena-net. but this? this is a blatant money grab, they want you to gamble with real money (as the only other real way to get keys is to grind a legion of alts to level 10) for a chance at a skin.
this is inexcusable, it saddens me greatly that the A-net I have supported for so long would stoop to things like this. If they allowed it in the store, even if it cost 800+ gems I would be at least somewhat ok with it, but there is absolutely good good to this, and A-net will not get a single cent from me again.
21 boxes and nothing…..wow. now all those hours i spent farming keys feel even more useless. at least now the precedent is set, so we can expect this bull kitten from every other event. good too know that this is just the same as every other P2W game out there.
A lot of people don’t seem to understand that many of people’s gripes with this isn’t that that you have to buy them with gems, but that the only way to get them is through the BL chests. we also have no idea how high or low its drop percent is, and knowing a-net, it could be something like 20% or even as low as 1 or 2%.
If we had the option to buy the skins separately or in a pack for a set amount most of the complaining will go way, it’s just the RNG/gambling with real money nature of this that has people irritated.
