3 Mystery Box minis: 5200 gems/65$ (average)

Posting for general info.
Using Wiki drop rate statistics:

On average you will get 1 minipet per 13.43 chest. Let’s say 14 chests to be sure.
10 chests are 800 gems. Let’s add the last 4 in at the discounted price too. This equals
1040 gems.

If you are a collector and want all 3 pets, you will probably not get them all with 3120 gems. (1040×3)
Actually the exact chance of that happening is 2/9 (22%).
Buying an additional minipet will make the total cost 4160 gems and give a 12/27 (44.4%) chance of getting all 3 minipets.
This generelly means that most people (55.6%) will need to pay at least 5200 gems to get all 3 minipets.

The most generous price for 4000 gems is 50$ – That is 80 gems a dollar.
Using this, 5200 gems will cost 65$.

Note: Remember we rounded up half a chest in the beginning. You might be able to save 100 gems somewhere.

They aren’t forcing you to buy them so why complain?

Ofc they arent forcing us, but they ARE taking advantage of us that really want these minis.. they are intentionally forcing money from us, in a very dirty manor instead of just letting us buy them straight of the gemstore.. we have to gamble to get them.. ive bought 30 boxes and only got 1 mini. Losing respect for Anet to be honest, a cash grab has commenced..sad, but true

How could you lose respect? They make money off of folks like you… and dont make ANYTHING off of people who dont buy from the gemstore (like myself)…

If you spent $65 on gems… eh you just spent ~4 months for an active sub in any other MMO…. no big deal imo.

Does Anet want PvP to die or something?

(It should not take 2 1/2 years to hit 80 (the math has been done)).

You must have forgotten how long it took Starcraft to hit rank 15 in GW1…

NA spvp dead? :(

. It’s no more repetitive than games like dota/lol/hon, starcraft, counter-strike, etc.

I agree with everything BUT counterstrike.

The game was only “repetitive” because there was no form of progression (hence the reason valve added achievement points).

Guess you missed the part where you could choose between both bomb and hostage maps (and even VIP maps back in the day). All maps in CS are very different from one another, and offered many more strats compared to what GW2 does atm.

spvp as a whole is extremely repetitive and boring after your 2k+ game… i have no idea how powerrr has made it to lvl 52 without being bored out of his mind. Not to mention, after about 11 pm EST… queue pops for paids is close to 25 minutes long.

could have scratched all these notes and put:

-Spectral armor now grants STABILITY, along with protection and DS gain.

guess ima have to rely on a 30 point trait, for god knows how long… for any form of stability…

Half the people who complain about the class… and losing in 1v1.. just dont know how to play the class.. period.

Yeah… 4v1.. you obviously aren’t going to win… esp to people who know how to play their class even halfway decently.

Most of the people that i see that complain… dont know a decent rotation of either bleeds or burst… they dont run plague signet or BiP.. or even how to counter bulls rush/100b/heartseeker builds.. also dont know how to use DS properly…. plague signet should be used in every build… regardless of the build you’re running imo.

The only class you should be having any issues with are hybrid spec Guardians… even then it comes down to the skill of the Guardian…

Necro is a high(er) skill capped class… kills aint gonna come easy.

This thread is full of “i want to win every fight, with little to no effort, and without spending much time learning my class”

Ive got over 700 hours spent pvping with a necro… and im still learning… the rest of you should do the same.

Still waiting for those screen shots showing all of you claiming Necro is ‘fine’ have actually done a fair amount of tpvp.

You’ll also have several level 80’s because you know that MMO’s can be rebalanced with no notice and suddenly the class you’re currently playing is no longer competitive. A true competitor takes that in stride and shifts to their level 80 that got buffed to OP status.

you’re wrong.

a TRUE competitor takes the changes in stride, and makes those changes WORK… takes the “competitiveness” to a whole new level, making things work that others cant.

and why couldnt this thread be about tpvp? the same things others whine about can be said for tpvp too dude.

95% of my time spent ingame is spent playing spvp matches/tournaments…

I love the necro, always have… being that its a much higher skill capped class then say thief or warrior makes it that much more enjoyable to play (at least for me)… and there are heaps of builds i have ran to somewhat perfect certain builds (bleed/epidemic to be exact)….

But the only major issue for me at least, is there is no reliable form of stability. Yes, DS has 3 seconds of stability… but a 30 point trait??? A 3 second stability every 10 seconds isnt reliable, and is extremely situational. If stability was a 20 point trait, and you could spec decrease cooldown time on DS as a 30 point trait, it would make it much better (and possibly a little overpowered)… but having to rely on say guardians to give me stability just doesnt cut it.
