If the server kicks you out during the fight you lose any chance at a chest. Kind of annoying when they arent stable atm.
Im not playing korean grind fest mode just to get some sub par “rare” weapons. Unfortunately I have a life and it doesnt involve farming 100 lodestones… I dont want a handout I would rather a challenging dungeon or a token system but whatever.
Great boss he was awesome, but you need to realise were playing an MMO to progress and get better, since you removed the gear treadmill theres F all to earn, but COME ON 4 greens and some fangs + 10 slot bag… thats my reward for soloing the MK boss?
What? No really… what.
Little bit of advice to the people doing the labyrinth for the mad kings items. The models aren’t unique to the event. Just get the recipe for the upgrade item. which i believe is from the mystic forge. For example, the light armor Mad Kings chest is just the acolyte chest with a mad kings rune in it, at least going by the gw2db chat links
Wait… your kidding right? That has to be a sick joke.

Ignore all small chests you can go back for them.
Turn off Dodge roll. I cant even tell you how annoying it is.
1. Will you or will you not be buying black lion trading company or random number generation materials again?
I will not be buying keys ect in the future.
2. Did you buy them in the past?
Yes.
3. If you would not buy trading post material/gamble, would you support direct to buy weapon skins and what general price do you find acceptable from a business standpoint both as a customer and realizing that they must make money as a business?
I would buy skins ect if they were direct purchase and for a normal price 400-500gems.
4. Do you believe that future events will also be handled with random number generation to make profit based on limited time item acquisition?
Yes because this event has already shown ANets true colours and its only the first act.
5. If you believe that the future events will be handled in the same manner, does this realization negatively effect your trust of Arena Net in regard to handling micro transactions for permanent content?
Unfortunately, yes I do.
6. Did you obtain a skin or whatever it is you were looking to get from the black lion trading chests? From the Mad King Chests?
No I did not obtain any skins from the BLC or the MKC.
7. Have you bought any of the direct purchase, set priced halloween items. If so, will you be buying more?
I have bought 1 witch costume fairly early on, and was considering buying the mini pet box but its just too expensive for a holiday event where you’re supposed to have fun collecting items, not buying them all.
“Golf clap” to the folks that thing anyone with the skins done something to earn them. I would gladly get 4 people and clear a hardcore dungeon to get these skins than waste my time buying keys for overpriced sums of money and then not even getting jack from the chests.
People are still pissed because they didnt fix the problem they just shifted it to another box to make it seem like its still not as much of a gamble.
Either let us buy it or have them as rewards from a boss ect.
So basicly we were all hoping to be using everything we got from the chests in order to actually have some sembelence of a chance at winning a skin. But now you’ve essentially given us a second chance based on half of the amount of keys we just spent.
I dont want a bloody second chance at a lottery I want to have some form of progression and small farmability involved in buying these kitten skins, or if you wanna cheap out just put them on the shop and ill buy 1 . . .
I was excited when I heard we were gona get a second chance, but come on, the dropchance is still the same except you get crappy lvl 75 crafting mats, still havent met someone who found any skins in these new chests.
Im sure it sounds really ungrateful that im still kitten off but come on, we didnt want you to scrap 1 scam lottery in exchange for another. ANet preaches fairness yet I see none in this skin fiasco.
20 pages of entitled whiners who didn’t use common sense? You’re right, nevermind. I got my good laugh.
I suggest you leave the thread then, I can already tell your dead set on your opinion that 100 keys shouldnt = 1 green item skin so dont bother flame baiting.
Thank you all very much for your feedback about this issue. We’ve already informed the team about all the concerns expressed in this thread, and they’ll look into it. Thanks again.
Very glad that we have a response from ANet, because so far Ive not met one person that thinks this key fiasco isnt a scam.
Since the people who spent so much money on keys get really screwed (if you guys hopefully change the droprate to something more sane) it might be worth allowing them to refund purchases over a certain amount.
I didnt buy keys because im not stupid enough to fall for this halloween trick, but if those people did I can imagine why they are angry.
Once again though, communication with the playerbase helps us so much and we appreciate every post.
Sorry but, I cant sit by and listen to this, we have to call out ANet on this absolute scam. Im not going to buy keys obviously, but something has to be done about this rediculous drop rate.
I agree, im a student and I cant exactly afford more than 800 gems a month which is what I would pay for a normal sub MMO, since GW2 isnt subbed I have more flexibility, but come on your prices are rediculous and bang out of order.
Its so obvious that were being screwed out of money aswell, key drops have died in the last few weeks with the announcement of chest skins and the few that I had saved up yeilded absolutely nothing useful from the chests, less loot than I used to get.
It might be fun making a bucket load of money from the gem house but show a little consideration to your playerbase.
This is going to sound rash, but can you please disable invisibility for the moment until you fix this, players are exploiting the hell out of it and we cant do anything, thiefs can already burst people in 3 seconds we dont need them being perma invis and bugging out NPC’s, WvW is kind of unplayable for me atm.
At this stage ide rather have bots and spammers running rampage than being crippled because of them. They’ve won.
They have already made it so that players cant farm anymore thanks to the rediculous restrictions on token and item farming. I dont see why im not allowed to play the way I want to, instead of logging on for a quick session then logging off once I start to get nothing.
I dont have a clue what the design philosophy in ANet is, but making items require hefty amounts of farming and then removing the ability to farm makes no sense to me. Its more irritating than the bots that MMO’ers have gotten used to over the years.

I would call for this bug to be fixed quickly. Or just give us all access to the temple of Grenth’s Karma vendor until it is, ive been waiting patiently to buy some gear :(.
Add mounts, they dont need to be super fast, just fast enough so that I dont want to tear my face off when im travelling everywhere as a slow necro. It also adds a farmability / collectibility factor to the game aswell as being able to sell a few in the gem store (dont however make these like mini pets where you can only find them in the gem store -_-).
Fix dungeons, give them mechanics instead of rediculous amounts of HP and burst damage. It doesnt make for compelling gameplay or fun things to farm, its depressing seeing the repair costs at the end of it and then being rewarded with useless sigils that ill need to farm 500 more of to get a weapon.
Add new item models, something ive noticed alot recently is that theres roughly 10 or less models for each armour piece / weapon, Infact ive only seen 3 staff models so far, its very boring and everyone would look the same if not for dyes which is a nice feature but makes it seem like a bandaid for lack of modelling which it shouldnt be. A fix could maybe be taken from Valve’s book, a community workshop where people can post their models up and add more variety to the game.
Trading between players, self explainitory.
Dueling with players, Im actually very confused as to why this and trading arent already in the game, its like a fundemental part of MMO’s and its enjoyable, I have nowhere to test my skills at in 1v1 or battle my friends to test their PvP abilities.
My current problem with the necromancer is also related to minions, I too have unfortunately specced into the bone minion tree, and the useless little thing barely even gets 1 hit off before it dies.
All my other minions are simply useless aswell, theres no way for me to take aggro usually, so they end up tanking and die in like 3 hits, even my Flesh Golum isnt that strong when a level 30 spider can kill it…
I feel like im playing a Warlock or something instead of a Necromancer that raises undeads minion to do his bidding, because all the minions I raise are near useless to me and just equipping a Sigil or some kind of debuffing spell already puts my damage to double that of my glass cannon minions.
Im hoping ANet can address this issue with necromancers and what their thought process behind how the class should be played is.
Btw I dont think these count as bugs, (except the bone minion) im just hijacking this thread since someone started it, but I believe this is the wrong area on the forums for it.
