Guild Wars 2

2 cases:
- count all precursors for all weapons currently in the trade post – there’s probably less then 300 total (to lazy to check). This game have 2 million players – 300 precursors for all of them.
- Some precursors are worth 12G today and they went up in price since karka event – not every precursor is Dawn or Dusk

I think that we’ve been given the worst possible gear example for ascended item – a magic find ring. The thing that everyone is missing is, that power and precision are secondary stats on that item and magic find is primary.
If other ascended items are going to follow that schema then we’re facing:
42% increase in primary stat (going from 7% to 10%) – that is huge
8% increase in secondary stats (going from 48+15 power/precision to 50+18) – that looks OK, but on full gear makes enough difference.

Primary stat on all other rings would go from 92 on exotic to 131 on ascended – and again – that is huge difference. Currently its like upgrading from blue to exotic – that’s 3 tiers difference not 1 and that can’t be right, unless magic find scales a lot better then all other stats or there wont be ascended items other then magic find.

I’m pretty sure its mob types – last thing I did yesterday in that zone was going back to Fort Trinity and do escort doylak event – there were 3 waves of different mobs on the way:

- normal moa
- risen drakes (was killing all types of risen all time across the map)
- normal fireflyes

From normal mobs I got 5 or 6 armor drops (white/blue) and some grey items, from risen drakes – 1 grey item. Rng wasn’t in favour for drakes, but still the difference in drops was huge.

I suspect that drop rate decrease is based on mob type. Yesterday I was doing Straits of Devastation, normal gameplay (DE, skillpoints, poi…, all areas of map) – drops stopped after about 40 minutes, no matter what part of map I was.

ALL mobs on that map are Risen (no matter if its drake, asura, chiken – its RISEN and it don’t count to your daily kill variety).

In every other zone before I didn’t notice any problems with drops – you go to different heart, you get different mobs, in Orr there are only RISEN and you get decreased drops after short time no matter where you go.

They should make it area based not mob type based – that would help normal endgame gameplay and still limit farming.

PS. To finish my daily kill variety I had to visit different map – all RISEN count as 1 kill type.

I had the problem with black screen in my trading post.
Tryed everything mansioned in here:
- run as administrator,
- turn off UAC,
- install rootcerts
- run repair
…
Nothing worked. It turned out that my internet provider turned on some weird proxy with message that I had to click befor going to any internet page (proxy wasnt working for firefox, only for browsers that I dont use) – when I clicked proxy message in internet explorer my trading post started to work (it turned the proxy off).

Conslusion: you may have proxy set even if you dont know about it.

Hope it helps someone.
