Guild Wars 2

One time events: Maybe, if implemented right
One time Events that give the only realistic chance of getting a precursor: No way!
Add the bugs and the terrible lag, along with the WAY imbalanced loot table, and you get a nice big split in the community….
Seriously, when they announced they would add a way to get the precursor that would require actual skill, is this what they had in mind?
Sure, for an hour or two the market was flooded with precursors dropping the price. Say I was a rich player. Know what I would do? I would buy every dusk and dawn there was and then sell it at the 250g range again, essentially getting richer without even trying. This is not a solution, just a band aid that has already come off. End result is me and many more players feeling dejected from logging in again, which is a shame as this game does many things right

Repeat the event for those with different timezones please

You have my support too, great idea for completionists that have that nagging feeling when switching armor sets!

Toby Tucker, let’s take that idea further Make the common version, well, common. BUT, make it so you can upgrade the common version through the MF with some medium to rare quality materials, maybe common →rare→exotic.

Maybe I’ve played too many platformers when I was a kid, but how come there are no attacks ingame that you can avoid by jumping? Especially since you have guys like the huge tank-like creatures in Arah that strike the ground with their club. Also a great way to combat bots, that cannot see the attack being telegraphed to avoid it :P Post below what you guys think about such an implementation.

For exorbitant amounts of money, sure you can be fleeced from some lucky guy in the TP. I’m feeling the halloween glee….

Don’t tell others what they need to have fun, that’s Anet’s job. If a customer thinks he is not getting enough buck for his money he will simply leave, again that’s anet’s problem. No one needs to defend them, they have to do it themselves with good feedback!

Well, for most the choice is obvious. Hell, the legendary weapon even has an icon in the character select screen to be filled, always nudging you towards it. In comparison, after halloween, those weapon skins will become more obscure.

Yes it is entirely possible to craft them after the halloween (the time frame you want them is in the halloween, but whatever), except they require lodestones. Lodestones that any person will most likely dedicate towards his legendary instead of his festive weapon skin. I don’t understand why they made the halloween skins use materials that are already in high demand for legendary weapons…

Truth be told, I like the greatsword, now if only the teeth could rotate like a chainsaw…

Sure they are weak rares, but you can use Fine Transmutation Stones, which you buy from the STORE, for GEMS to give their looks to the exotic of your choice…..well played Anet

It doesn’t matter either way. When you start a holiday event and on the first day there is a 17 page (at the time of writing) thread about disatisfied customers, you have done something wrong. Anet does not need good sentiments to work, but it sure needs happy customers!

When you are dealing with gambling that can involve real money, there is no such thing as obvious. You post the odds or you can expect MANY dissatisfied customers well within their rights to feel exploited.

Why are these items so rare anyway. We are not talking about precursors and legendaries. Just let them become rare with time after the event is finished. Starting them off in the 8-10 gold tag means that after the event, they will become 5 times that!

Hard mode is great idea to restore low level maps in population, it is such a shame that the world right now to a level 80 is comprised of two to three areas, Cursed Shore, Frostgorge and Melchor’s leap… Why even create all these areas if you only use them one time?
