Combat roles, no trinity...

I miss earning skills like in GW1. Nothing was more rewarding than unlocking an awesome rare skill from a huge boss. As far as the roles go, the trinity is here, but its really not emphasized, and not really good either. Whats emphasized is playing what you like.

The game is far from dead and guilds are as strong as ever, you might just be on one of the RP-heavy servers. Look to switch to a higher population server. The gear progression gives you something else to do, and is not even close to mandatory. If anyone thinks that +3 of a stat on ascended here and there makes a huge difference, I assure you it does not. I have ascended gear and get curb-stomped all the time by better players who probably have way worse gear. Looking forward to a lot of the updates, and hopefully better drops.

After tons of playing with the TP and help from the best person ever, I managed to finally get my Zap, no to finish farming for all the other components. It takes tons of effort and lots of boredom, that’s for sure.

What makes you think that a normal player with ever have the thousands of gold required to afford a legendary when they are struggling to buy a precursor……… -_-’

They should just make precursors craftable and make the mats some of the mats that are under-utilized. Either that or add another set of accomplishments to get one. Also you should be able to trade dungeon tokens for the dungeon’s respective core/lodestone. That would alleviate a bit of the heat off of legendaries.

Yea even though the mats are quite pricey they are a pretty easy to obtain over time due to the amount of them on the TP, when you see there are only 3-5 of your precursor required on the TP going for astronomical amounts of gold, you’re pretty much screwed. As far as WvW goes you can make tons of money and karma farming badges, it does take forever but its not as profitable as dungeons or Orr. Also, I find it funny that people who like to play solo play an MMO at all, kind of defeats the purpose. As it stands i would love if they included more skill based challenges as apposed to the “tank and spank” bosses and whatnot. With just shy under 1k hours in game I still love the game to death, and still trucking along for my Bolt. :}

Even though it may be a huge gold sink, the gap between the people who start farming for a legendary now and those who started day one is enormous. They are going to be be hurting to keep up with the rapid inflation. Seriously Zap has went up by 40g in 3 days. if you can make 40g in 3 days please share what you do :}

With a tangible achievable way to get them 100%, as crazy as it may be, would still be awesome because it would give us a realistic goal to work toward. I would gladly pay 1 million karma or like 500 of each dungeon token to get my zap :{

I think throwing endless swords into the mystic forge is just a horrible and disheartening way to get a precursor, especially when you have bad luck like me. Also, considering I’ve hit 80 on 3 toons and completed all the high level maps, I can say there is definitely level ranges for them as far as exotic rewards. Cursed shore is always 80’s, Frostgorge is 78-80, Malchors is 76-80 and all the others have never dropped anything above 78. So out of the 3 maps that you can get them, on 2 exotics will be 80 and what are your chances? I’d rather them just charge a million more karma to get your precursor, or a combo of Karma and gold, or just add another big item grind, just something tangible and not up to chance. Mystic clovers were horrible as is.

Hello all, I just had a real quick question, and i can’t find the answer to it so I decided to make a topic. With precursors creeping up in price extremely fast, I’ve notice something. There are people with such wealth that they can completely control the precursor market. There was a Twilight listed for 9500 gold. No i did not add an extra zero. The listing price alone on it before selling, is 475 gold, not to mention the cost to make such a weapon is huge. Buy orders on items are creeping up in the 600’s range for some rare black lion items as well. I’m just concerned about us normal casuals, who put the time in to earn our keep, but can’t outpace this ravenous price wars to obtain our legendary weapons. I have a rough expectation of having my Bolt finished in 6 months time, but in the last week the Precursor and all the Lodestones have skyrocketed way out of grasp fast. Is there a way, in the future, that we will be able to “quest” or earn our precursors? Because it just seems unfair that no matter how much you play, if you cant beat inflation you will never get it.

Been having the exact same problem as the OP with the nov 15th patch. The game is literally unplayable, I disconnect after like 2 minutes, every single time.
