It’s pretty poor design.
Probably gathered about 500+ deluxe gear boxes. Still haven’t got the achievement for defeating scarlet 5 times.
Think this is it for me.
Not looking forward to grinding out 2-4 ascended weapons for 6 characters just to keep up with the Jones.
Or even just the mandatory 2-4 ascended weapons for fractal progression on the chars I run fracs with.
I mean kitten, I just finished getting amulets and acessories for them all, some for multiple builds.
I’ve always had a chuckle when I see gw2 and esport strung together.
E-sport relies on producing something entertaining to watch.
Watching a screenful of clones, minions, spirits, pets and stealthed players going at it isn’t very entertaining.
Watching Thresh win Carmacks Ferrari or Deathrow vs Clan9 matches, now that was entertaining.
Try ebing an engineer, we cant attack the orbs. All I get when I try to shoot one is “Obstructed”. I read somewhere that melee attacks work on them. Rather frustrating for ranged classes.
Pistol #1 works fine against rifts.
Only issues I had with this fight were the aoe circles on the mesh floor, the dome messing with camera and blobs being left behind. Light up the darkness was a good challenge and I tried many builds I never would have on alts trying to get it before I nailed it with ranger. Probably would’ve got it sooner if it weren’t for a 250ms ping.
Once you learn the pattern and rift timing it’s easy to beat her normally every time. Glad there was a challenging achievement behind it, extended the patch a couple of days for me.

Soon A-net will introduce a form to craft precursors, so…
Kind of like how they said they’ll soon have a scavenger hunt…
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Just got Light Up The Darkness on ranger.
Used a 20 20 10 20 0 build. Important traits being vigor on heal, 33% longer regen, piercing arrows. Troll Unguent, RaO, Renewel, Wild, Hunt. SB + Axe/Torch. Mix of zerk / cleric gear. Mango pie food.
Went axe/torch for easy rift killing with #4 and then still being able to chill and damage Liandri before swapping back to shortbow. Chose to take out every rift asap as they’re just too annoying pulling you as you’re about to pick up a shard and upsetting your rhythm.
Biggest mistake I made in early attempts was forcing the shards and dying trying to get them in time. Final attempt I just took my time and picked up shards when convenient. Still had lots of time at the end of p2 where I didn’t need to worry about shards and just kite/dps.
Found it easier doing it on ranger than thief/engy/war.
Really annoying in P2. Hard enough with the stupid dome kittening with the camera, then you’re trying to spot a little clearing amongst the faint orange circles on the half transparent floor.
I’m sure they’ll be right on it like how they fixed the easy to see circles in harpy fractal.
Heres a tip, when you expect people with a range of computers and pings up to 300ms to dodge instant death aoe’s in content, you might like to make them visible. You can start with a bright red outline and a cross hatched centre, so they show up on platforms even when the border doesnt.
Probably wasn’t added because it would have messed up their nice big purdy wallet screen layout (ugly as sin).
What I find funny is the pristine relics weren’t added, but the normal relics which are required in mf recipes and cant be removed from wallet were.
Guess whoever came up with this idea has never upgraded or downgraded an essence.
Just another kittenty latency check.
Try doing it with a group of people all over 250ms. Wipe 15 times in a row at first cannon phase because they all drop dead thanks to lag.
Just like dragonball, and crabtoss, anet sat there and tested it locally at 10ms and conveniently forgot about half the world who aren’t sitting next door to the server.
It’s a shame that regular mob loot is such a non factor that people will just go for the easiest mob when farming coffers.
Why bother killing mobs in Frostgorge for greys+coffers when you can kill mobs in Queensdale for greys+coffers.
Tip for Anet.
Playtest at 150+ latency.
That’s how half the world plays your kitten.
Seems even Anet conceded that people weren’t going back to farm orr when southsun finished.
Anet loves the polla.
They all look like kitten.
Least when they hide skins behind Mr Cox blox box’s they’re usually ugly.
So basically,
There were these guys who hate playing crab toss (most of the playerbase) who finally found a cooperative arena in which they could get some of the achievements done.
Then a new player comes along (you), who fails to notice that they’re doing achieves and proceeds to play normally thus messing up a greater number of persons time.
Then instead of just leaving and joining another arena after you’ve realised that they’re doing achieves, you stay for another round.
10 Roll new character.
20 Explore starter cities and easy sp’s.
30 Buy shards, stones, crystals and bank.
40 Delete character
50 Goto 10.
Everyone knows how successful anet is at implementing rng.
Surprised?
Got my first one after ~10 minutes when killing the first Veteran Karka during an event (No MF), it had a ticket.
Later I bought 10 boxes because I felt like supporting the game. The sixth had another ticket. I also got a shoulder skin and that ship-in-a-glas-bottle one.I used to think the drop rate was really high… but looking at the thread opener I’m really shocked (maybe I was just ridiculous lucky…)
You’re supporting bad gem store design. By encouraging them to make more RNG boxes you actively contribute to the game becoming worse. If people refused to buy RNG boxes the monetisation team’s hand would be forced into implementing a more fair value for money system.
Wasting your breath. NCsoft/Nexons target demographic for this pakitteno kittene are koreans, they know their market. You think as consumers they’re going to stop buying crates/keys for the betterment of the game? Maybe after they stop buying tiger kitten soup for the betterment of the world.
There’s always a way to take advantage of the gullible.
nice attempt there but I didn’t dimiss anyones argument? Failed comback.
Try again sir.
Failed comback? Failed comeback I’m assuming.
Ran its cores? Ran its coures I’m assuming. Do not dimiss my argument. I realized what you did there and that is another logical fallacy if I may add. If you truly believe this thread has no point then don’t comment. Simple.
Ran its coures? Ran its course I’m assuming. Do not dismiss anyones argument.
Its one tier of gear that’s really not overwhelmingly more powerful than the last with alternate options to aquire it being implemented.
I honestly found Borderlands 2 single player action/rpg more of a gear treadmill.
Compare it to WoW where your starter welfare epics were so far removed from the raid gear that you would have to farm lesser raids every week praying for a drop before you could experience the end game.
The only restricting mechanic is AR which is needed beyond lvl 10 fractals, however you can experience all of the content without it in the same gear you crafted/bought the day you hit 80.
It’s all in your head.
You’d have to be ingornant of this game to not see an issue Or you play 3 – 5 hours a day and yeah I guess for those that have that much time its not an issue at all. But for those of us who have a life outside of this game it is. And WE were the targeted market not you, check any interview with Anet and we were who they were targetting.
And stop comparing this to WoW. Its like comparing apples and oranges -redundent and silly.
See what issue exactly? When I finish leveling up a character I’ve made enough to outfit him in exotics which provide me with the max stats available in the game except for accessories. Are you trying to tell me that ascended gear provides such a huge advantage over exotics outside of fractals that it’s prohibiting your style of gameplay? Or are you actually incapable of outfitting yourself in exotics in the first place?
Comparing gw2 which has been claimed to be a gear treadmill game to a true gear treadmill game is in no way redundant. Stop being silly.

Go farm some DE’s in CS with and without a party during prime time and tell me how those mechanics are going for you.

The most disconcerting thing to me as a newer player is this anti-farm diminishing returns system. I’ve played mmorpgs since the glory days of Ultima Online and Everquest.
If I wanted something, I could go out and get it without feeling like I’m being punished or wasting my time because some invisible game mechanic has decided to kick in.
Expect more restrictions on legit players to combat this.
