Guild Wars 2

You just lost a long long time GW1 and GW2 player tonight. After 4150 hours – tried the last story episode – Hearts & Minds – it was SO BUGGY and full of stupid dps soaks combined with idiotic one-shot mechanisms and less than clear pathing and mechanics – coupled with very poor replay nodes… After 5 hours of utter frustration and 10 replays tonight, I can no longer stand to play ANY PART of this game any more.

So many good features in the overall game – but sheesh guys, the kitten story – you really bugged it up. Go see my bug reports. And what you won’t see is any more cash or time from me. Bye bye guildies – catch in another one by another game designer in the future…. Sing Out.

Madora doesn’t speak for all of SF – I would love to see Blackgate come and teach us how to down Teq. Bring it on! And cookies for everyone!

edited to get the name right!

From SF & I ENJOY the status quo. Don’t let the whiners rock the boat!!!

Amos.8760:

Where are all these Zho’Qafa farms occurring? Been on three servers today begging in map chat for help on this event. I am currently on the server where a guild claims to be farming it, and we can’t get ANYONE to help. It seems like this hardly ever gets done. So please inform me where these farms are taking place so that I might help.

Sorrow’s Furnace is one… Done it on Fergusson’s and Fort Aspenwood (i think) as well this week…

So folks – my two cents here:

1) 10 folks can run it – that wipes out a lot of the possibilities touted above – Zho’qaffa is definitely a 5-10 person (or more if there is interest) event.
2) Not many folks ran it until lately (lost in the boring swamp in <75 zone – no Ori – nothing else of real interest…) I never knew of it until a guildie pointed out the Final Rest thread on reddit…
3) It has a Glorious Chest
4) Have been running Zho’qaffa 3x a day (across a few servers) on various alts the last week – at least 15 times. The trash mob drops are great – Heavy Bags & in my experience at least one rare or better from the trash (including Rurik’s Boots one run).
5) Magmaton dropped for me today from the chest… IMHO the third best hammer in the game…
6) there is some debate on the math – be that as it may, given the large population in this game across numerous servers, a 1 in 2000 or even 1 in 200,000 drop rate wipes out many of the well known possibilities….

Takeaway – This Zho’qaffa chest has a fully loaded loot table, ain’t been run much & meets all the criteria hinted at by the devs… I for one will be showing up regularly & you can keep your Jormag blues for yourselves…

And finished dailies just now with no chest… Is that a fix too?

Staff 4 used to heal tons (all in range) of folks in Jormag fight (for instance) or zerg – today it only healed 5 close folks… That “correction” reduces the formerly OP ability…

It always has been good – just now can hit things a bit farther away faster (harder to dodge)…

So I sold off some dyes this morning I was lucky enough to get & the “My Transactions” screen shows I have sold 1g 43s 08c worth of stuff (was lucky & got a Midnight Ice Dye)…

Didn’t get the coin back right away so I left for work (irl).

Came back this afternoon and it shows same amount sold in “My Transactions” but when I go to the pick up tab I see only 46s 86c to pick up!!!!

What the ???? Ripped off for almost 1g by the trading house!!!

Please correct this ArenaNet!!!

Thanks,
Sing
