Guild Wars 2

Wahaha.7938:

Just do Teq daily and you will get it.

Yes, I haven’t tried that.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

I was not responding to the cost of the precursor via the colleicton at all. So please don’t be so hostile when you’re not even reading my post.

I was responding to WarMachen’s comment: “Why should it be this difficult for an exotic.”

It’s an exotic level weapon, which has been in the game since the beginning. I would venture to say that a large number of those trying to craft Dusk or other precursor weapons has already had the other three ingredients ready for a while. The items which were made with a lower crafting requirement for a legendary than this and other “precursor” exotics.

This thread is about Watery Grave though, which is not as easy to see or obtain as some people would like every one to believe. I’ve seen plenty of complaints concerning this ability.

This one random, hard to see ability that happens for a few seconds every few hours isn’t hard, it’s yet another RNG hunt

Impossible to miss, yet I never see it.

Find a pug map…every time I fight Teq, its on a pug map, I guess you didn’t read past the first sentence. I see fingers summoned quite regularly, but not whirlpools. Whirlpools are summoned at 75% and then again at 50, 25. Yet every map either burns him down to fast, or can’t even get him to 75%. So that means whirlpool will most often be seen once, at 75% for a few seconds. Everything is a an orange field, horrible advice.

ShiningSquirrel.3751:

I’m confused, I though the whole idea behind this was that it is supposed to be hard?

Why should it be this difficult for an exotic. I’ve jumped through every hoop, spent more to craft the precursor that it costs, used a ton of “ascended” mats on an “exotic” weapon and have obtained every other item necessary for the legendary. This is simply a stupid design choice, much like Grenth. The precursor “journey” is a bust and looks like it was designed by someone that simply read the GW2 wiki.

Combat visibility in general isn’t driven by any sort of “esports” stuff though I realize that’s the easy out that’s cool thing to blame things on this week.

Seriously, this is what you start with Colin. You sound like a patronizing kitten .

Maybe you guys could concentrate on long standing bugs or stupid design decisions.

Great requirement to finish Dusk Anet. Not in the right place and the right time for a 3 second window for a very difficult to see attack, every few hours and your screwed. Really great design decision, I applaud you Anet. Not like you will actually answer anyone on this forum that has a legit question or concern anyway.

Tried on full map, tried on empty map, entered map 10, 5, 4, 3, and 2 minutes before events starts, turned up graphics, turned down graphics, checked lod, stood in front of his feet, to the side, by the turrets, by the small island near his feet, etc.

Yeah, this is fun. Anyway, I missed it again, time to wait another few hours to see if I can guess the right location for 3 seconds.

Stormbolt.7293:

I don’t get it. They received overwhelmingly negative feedback last time they did it, and then they do it again. Their esports pipedream isn’t going to happen. It’s a saturated market as it is, and GW2 doesn’t measure up to other esport games in terms of competitive gameplay. Anet needs to stop neutering the game in the name of PvP (statistically the least played gamemode) and focus on the MMO aspects of GW2

Anet does whats best for Anet, F the majority of the player base

Probably be reintroduced as a visual pack on the TP

Just did Teq yet again, first map had people that killed to fast, loaded onto another map, had people that couldn’t even get him below %90

GG Anet, Watery Grave is where you guys should send your precursor crafting to.

Only an actual idiot would have thought that crafting a precursor should include failing events.

I see your point OP. Nothing will be done, proof is in the precursors

Congrats, especially on getting all of the pre’s, people like me have never once seen one drop. Good to know others have an abundance.

So precursor weapons will continue to be only for those people that are either incredibly lucky or a full time trading post broker. Glad I can look forward to finishing up the grind for the rest of the items for a legendary only to be denied by the extremely harsh RNG system. It’s only been year, maybe 2015 will bring something new.

Of course Anet will just say you guys did it wrong

Thank you for forcing me and everyone else to play the game the way “you” want us to play.

Thank you for making only 50 people at a time able to kill a knight and get rewards so that when I run across the map to engage a knight, I find there is already too many people and I have to trek to another one in hopes there isn’t a lot of people or that there is enough time left to actually engage it.

Thank you for making the Knight health bars on the event listing show up as empty even though they are all still alive. I imagine this is yet another bug in your polished content

Thank you for allowing me to kill the knights many, many times over the past few days with no reward

Thank you for making the Hologram boss a chore because I got separated from the main group

Thank you for changing the mechanics of the Knight event three days after the event started

Thank you for making the grind for cores even more of a grind, which honestly is no surprise given the grind happy nature of the game

Thank you for making everyone beta testers for the season one finale.

With your latest update you have made sure I won’t participate in the event any longer.

Welcome to the club

I agree, if these things are intended, I will spend my time and money elsewhere

I will not step foot back in LA until the knight bug is fixed. If it’s intended that not everyone gets loot, I won’t step back into the game, because that’s just horse****

There is no misunderstanding

Legendary Assault Knights will drop 5 Deluxe Gear Boxes

There is only one possible interpretation. The knights will drop loot. Why would it be divided if 60 participated and 30 got loot…that’s BS

If that is the case, I will no longer support the event

Kyvia.5961:

Hey, the 5th or 6th thread on this! Not criticizing you at all, just posting in solidarity essentially because Anet is being tightlipped about this, and the more threads that get made with more responses the better.

Yeah, I know people usually don’t like multiple threads about the same thing, but as far as I’m concerned this whole forum can fill up with posts about the chest bug until either it is acknowledged or fixed. They have time to post about Twitter.

I see they are busy responding to everything but the major bugs with their season ending event. Maybe there will be a chest drop booster for 800 gems soon

Just finished yet another round of fights with no chests. Didn’t even bother going into the final hologram boss fight.

I’ve done the event solo with all gold participation and grouped, all gold participation, no chests at all. Anet you need to at least post that you are aware of the issue considering the amount of threads created and people that are being left out.

Aberrant.6749:

You must not be in a party so you’re not getting credit when 100 people zerg them all down but yes, they give 6 champ boxes each + a chance at a power core.

You are wrong, I’ve ran the event in a party and solo. Never, ever got loot from all bosses. Yesterday was 1 out of 3, today 0.

You do not need to be in a group. Stop spreading crap. I ran the event 6 times yesterday, never in a group, got drops from 1 out of 3 bosses. Ran the event twice today, in a group and got 0 drops. The event is buggy, as usual with these releases. If nothing drops, there’s no point in doing it

I went from 22, down to 6, now back to 39.

Shiren.9532:

Andile.2963:

Example: adjusting GF and MF ascended infusions from 10 laurels to 20 laurels!

kittening ninja.

Did they seriously do that? I went to buy mine earlier today as I was planning to buy the GF one as soon as I got 10 more laurels. I was shocked to discover they were double the price of what I thought they were. I felt silly about mistaking the price. If it’s true it’s just another in a series of grind intense decisions ArenaNet keeps making to get players to play even longer. It’s working, but GW1 was a game I played for seven years and happily so. I am rapidly reaching a point where GW2 is becoming too much work for me. I don’t think I’m going to last much longer before I have to quit permanently over all the grind they are putting into the game.

Once again…they were 20 laurels before the patch

Andile.2963:

They were 20 laurels before the patch.

Nuka Cola.8520:

“all champion mobs will correctly always drop 1 blue or better loot item” why? Can anyone tell me why C H A M P I O N S have a chance of dropping blues worth 50 copper? Makes zero sense…

If people made more gold, less people buy gems

The devs will not respond, they dont give a kitten about what players “perceive”

this post will not gain more attention than the huge 1500 post thread already in place

In fact I predict this post will be merged, moved, or deleted. by the mods.

But please continue making more threads, soone or later the devs will have to provide some kind of answer if enough people are kitten off.

Jason King.2647:

Hey everyone, I’m here to help clear up some of the confusion on this issue!

First, our apologies for the inaccurate response: your system clock does not affect your loot drops (sorry, conspiracy theorists). We’ve corrected this information for future responses.

If you’re not receiving loot from a champ/vet, it’s most likely because you’re not getting kill credit. We’re currently working on some improvements to this so that it will be easier to get rewards when you kill a creature.

Thank you for bringing this up!

How about correcting the supposed fix that happend last year.

I two/three man a champ no loot, I solo a champ no loot.

I run straight by champs because it’s a waste of time, no loot.

If you are not getting loot, it’s most likely from a broken system, not the player

Please stop by the Gem Store to purchase more gold quickly, to buy more greatswords, to dump them into the Mystic Toilet, to receive garbage.

Also be prepared to respond to the people saying you should have just saved up the gold and bought a Dusk.

Maybe everyone in the game should save up for things on the TP instead of actully trying to aquire them, surely there are no downsides to that. -_-

It seems more and more people are coming to the conclusion that others had months ago. DR sucks, and because of it drop rates suck. Anet has no intention of answering the community about either.

Los Re.4607:

Sorry i didn’t answer to the previous guys, i was having fun ing. @WarMacheen, no my friend tagging is more complex that you think. I have noticed difference even if i kill something faster or slower. I didn’t want to sound bad it’s just i’m bad at english. I don’t have any problem to help, with my experience, any guy who does need help.

PS: I never used the tp to make money Just 4-5 hours per day casual gaming.

Lol right, the speed at which something dies determines what drops. I don’t think Anet put that much thought into it. I think you are overestimating your ability and intelligence. Also 4-5 hours a day is most certainly not casual, maybe not hardcore, but absolutely not casual.

Los Re.4607:

I saw 3 random video that “prooves” poor drops in Orr. In all of these videos i saw terrible tagging skills and in of them the player didn’t even get xp for the kills. Guys maybe you should try to be better at tagging mobs? Or maybe next time someone next to you spams “lfg” you actually group with him? I am not going to explain to you why this will help because i am sure that you won’t try it and you will continue the forum-whining. I guess bad farmers will always be bad farmers.

I suppose tagging the mob to kittening death as I normally do should suffice. The only thing that you have “prooves” is that you haven’t read or been following this thread. Maybe instead of telling others to L2P, you should L2R. Perhaps bad posters will always be bad posters.

Also from what I can gather from your post, I should spell out L2R, as Learn To Read. It’s ok if you’re slow and confused though, everyone in this thread has or is coming to the realization that so is Anet, maybe you should apply, they need more enlightened individuals such as yourself.

Teofa Tsavo.9863:

All I have today is, I kind of stumbled over the Champion Reef Shark in Southsun. After a long, iffy, “go go heal cooldown” kind of battle, I managed to solo it.

And watched with crushing disappointment, again, that for what I considered an accomplishment for my noob self, I got.. nothing. Literally, nothing.

I won’t ever fight it again. Is that the intention?

Yes, there is absolutely no kittening way Anet doesn’t know about this, which has been a problem for months.

It hasn’t been fixed or mentioned since they supposedly fixed it months ago. working as intended.

So I purchased one of those new “Lost Orrian Jewel Box”

Got 5 “Unidentifiable Objects”, Tropy, 2.5 silver each

Not even remotely close to being worth 4,550 Karma

Yet more RNG bullkitten with bullkitten drop rates, won’t be wasting karma on those again.

I suppose putting this here is a waste of kittening time too, since Anet is to much of a kittening coward to respond to this thread.

There should be a minimum return on these things, but looking over other what other people have gotten, the new box is the continuation of the mystic toilet.

peterpat.8196:

They did something. The karma sink, Orrian Jewelry Box, you have a chance to get lodestones.
Not enough to forge your legendary, but enough to reduce the TP-price for charged lodestones from 4g** to 3g15s. It’s something, they might continue to add new ways to get the lodestones you need.

Fix the drop rate of the current sources, problem solved

Liwi.7896:

There were 20 Dusks 250g each on market after Kraka event. We’re talking about solid numbers on trading post so there was no RNG, and the price stayed for like 3 days.

If you didn’t save up to 250g 2 months ago, you’re not dedicated enough. And if you had the money but didn’t make your move, you’re not smart enough. Either way legendaries aren’t for you, and by you I mean average joes.

Lol, what a horrible post. Seriously, so new players should be gouged while others that took advantage of much better drop rates prosper.

How about you just uninstall your game and stop posting, it would make the community better. Anet has made the gold increasingly more difficult to obtain in order to push people to the gem store.

The very large “perceived” sticky backs up your claims. Drop rates and DR are horrible.

Fought at least 10 champs yesterday

0 drops.

It’s ok though, at least we have more tokens to grind for.

Anet doesn’t care about this

They don’t care about you or your horrible luck with the Mystic Forge

They don’t care about players being punished by diminishing returns, that was enacted to “fight bots”.

They don’t care about horrible drop rates and horrible RNG

They don’t care that you fight veterans and champions and get zero drops

If you want proof, go look at that sticky thread about perceived drops rates and notice that there is zero feedback from the devs, zero feedback on the hundreds of posts before they were “merged” or deleted by mods.

Go ahead and delete this post to cover up the problem even more

Anyone that thinks Anet did anything to remedy the problem is delusional. They don’t give a kitten about this thread or the problem. Had the problem been fixed they would have been in here trumpeting the news.

Is the DR and drop rate being tuned in this patch, will there be anything in the patch notes about it.

Or is the topic simply to radioactive at this point and no one will even bother with it.

It’s quite clear that Anet doesn’t give a kitten about this issue, doesn’t give a kitten about this thread, and has no intention of actually communicating with the player base other than “look we got more tokens and backpacks, come buy gems, lulz”

3 months and still no “actual” response, disguting.

Maybe if we start overloading the boards with the problem instead of being pidgeon holed into this crappy kitten thread

But hey, at least we have more stuff coming to buy on the gem store, and even more tokens to gather, well done skirting the single biggest problem with this game Anet.

Another day, another chance to give the community an actual answer

I wager a stack of 250 porous bone, that this thread continues to be ignored.

Awesome, even more stuff in the Gem store. Too bad they can’t fix the drop rate or DR, or even muster the courage to give us a serious answer.

I guess new content should get people to forget major problems for a while.

ColinJohanson.2394:

I posted this elsewhere, but just quickly wanted to update where we stand on this issue:

We’re continuing to look into this and have a team of folks sifting through insane amounts of data based on all of your reports. This is an incredibly time intensive and unfortunately mostly manual process while we work on building tools to streamline this in more automated ways so it’s going to take a while.

We’ll update once we have more tangible information to share.

smh, two months for this, after we’ve been told that drop rates can be changed on the fly. As someone mentioned earlier, to save you guys some time, go back to nov 15, undo what you did. I suppose we should get another “update” around the beginning of April

Another day, another chance to respond to the issue.

or continue to ignore it

Good job Anet, absolutely nothing wrong with this game, no sir. The drop rate is just fine and the people that are trying to gather materials for 3-5 hours at a time with no drops are just acting entitled. Also the magic find works wonderfully, I love when I put on MF gear it helps keep my bags neat and tidy by lowering the amount of stuff that is dropped. All in all, I wouldn’t change a thing, especially when I fight veteran and champion mobs, they help me kill time without adding stuff to my bags which would overburden me, thanks!

I would rather they just fix the current freaking drop rate and DR before introducing even more random stuff.
