Can you guys tell us if FotM will be fixed anytime soon? My last 5 attempts in there have ended badly mostly because of DCs. We always seem to have at least one person DC before we finish. It’s gotten to the point that several of my guildies won’t run the dungeon as “It’s a waste of time”.
We’ve seen other bugs as well. The worst outside of DCs was when we finished the Charr event and then when the tentacle boss started we were all still Charr! Didn’t think much of it until we found we were unable to pick up the crystals and were forced to bail :C
I’ve been stuck on level 8 for about a week now because of these issues, it’s really frustrating. It’s getting Increasingly difficult to find a group at my specific level and when I finally do, we never get to finish. I feel like I’m cursed.
On Ehmry Bay I can confirm the tower is working. I took the chance to run 2 character to get the vista and the event ran at 6:45am and again at 7:00am
I’ll try again tonight but I’ve done the harpy quest 3 times now. Then he shoots 3 cows because he has extra or whatever and then he gets the coins over his head….but nothing happens, I just get the error that the content is disabled.
What is supposed to happen?
According to what I am reading and the reports I have been shown. It is not a small amount that received precursors.
Well his theory could still hold true man. What if the drop rate for precursors was raised to 10%?
Go kill 10 dragons and get back to us.
3 days to learn about these items and then grind out the required items? I didn’t know about this until your post. Give us some time ArenaNet. I’m not in game 24/7.
While I myself couldn’t make the event yesterday…I am kind of sore about this precursor thing, even though it is my fault I didn’t attend.
BUT I still think that giving out random precursors to anyone was NOT what I expected when they said they would address the price issues.
As the precursors currently outvalues absolutely ANYTHING in the game, this is incredibly unfair going with rng luck like that. I’ve played many hours, I do dungeons all day long, all savings from lucky drops and money so far have given me about 100g. That is hundreds of hours spent. And then, some lucky fella, shows up at the event, and BOOM gets precursor worth 200g+ …
yes, I know, life is unfair, but I still think this was a very bad way of decreasing precursor rarity…
I agree and it’s only going to be a few weeks or less and the price, (which is still too high for me), will be crazy high again.
NO. They are going to make a “scavenger hunt” type of way to aquire them in the future.
Yeah this is the quote I’m referring to. I thought it was coming with this patch because it was mentioned in the same blog post as the gear tier. I’m just really hoping this Lost Shores event chain was NOT the “scavenger hunt”.
I personally think we need a way to get them that doesn’t require luck and/or massive amounts of gold. Make it difficult but something we can get by playing the fun aspects of the game and not just grinding for or buying gold.
Yeah thats why it is called like this – owning it is legen… wait for it…. DARY!
“Daddy can I borrow your credit card?”
“Sure, as long you don’t bother me while I eat my crumpets and caviar.”
“Thanks Dad, you’re the best!”
Yeah pretty legendary.
Everyone praising the event probably got a precursor :P
For me the event was OK. I liked it more than the Halloween event. I think the skipping stones jumping puzzle is great. I didn’t like Mad King’s Clock Tower because you had to wait sooo long if you failed to try again. And it was a little too difficult IMO.
FotM is really good. A.N. needs to fix it so that someone who DCs can rejoin the group. Also the lvl thing is getting annoying. People aren’t willing to drop down a level to go. It’s fragmenting the people willing to run the dungeon. I’m even seeing it within our guild. People at level 7 want to progress to lvl 8 and aren’t willing to go with the guys at level 3 for example. Jumping around Lions Arch trying to get a group of people on the same lvl as me reminded me of my WoW days….I didn’t like.
nope easiest way honestly, is just save some money from a few paychecks, and tada! you have twilight.
Yeah right. I absolutely hate the fact that some rich kid can basically buy a legendary….sure they need to grind out the karma and map completion but those are pretty fun. This gold grind is too much for me. I play quite a lot and don’t spend gold on much of anything anymore, and I’ve only managed to save 65g All the while, everything required to get a legendary keeps getting more and more expensive.
The stupid thing is, I really only want a legendary so I don’t have that greyed out area on my log-in screen taunting me :P
I thought for sure Arena Net would introduce some new way to get a precursor that didn’t involve luck. Like 1,000 of each dungeon tokens or something. Something we could grind out that didn’t reward the lucky or those willing to spend real $$$ on gold.
Please tell me this one time event that still relied heavily on luck and occurred while I was at work wasn’t it?
Logging on last night after work and seeing some guy brag how he got TWO precursors really made me sad. I know it’s just a game and I wasn’t guaranteed anything good, but I logged off feeling pretty disappointed. And now I read how some got DCed near the end and a patch dropped during the event kicking people. What a terrible idea ArenaNet.
I think it bugs out sometimes too. I once got 30 shards in AC on my first run in days.
Fair enough. Only one of us had done story….none explor. We randomly selected path 2.
Really the complaint is the 1 WP, that last boss was stupid. Learning it takes time and trial and error since we don’t really check guides are anything like that. You expect to wipe a few times learning the mechanics, but running back all that way was really pissing me off!
It’s the large amount of trash mobs. Arah has too much boring trash IMO. That staircase before the grub boss for example.
No explor path 2. I can’t find anyone willing to do story mode.
I support this idea. I have a few story modes I’d like to do but no one is interested in story mode anymore.
This was a dungeon I had never stepped foot in. Whenever I suggested it to friends or the guild I’d get a bunch of “ahh that place sucks, I vowed to never step in there again!” or similar.
Last night I finally pushed enough people to go. What a nightmare! Are you really trying to make people hate the place? The name is fitting except I was unable to embrace it….just lots and lots of sorrow.
It is very long….took us 3 hours. None of us really knew the encounters so I’m sure a second run would be shorter.
TONS of trash mobs. It’s just boring killing the same mobs over and over. It felt like more trash than other dungeons. Maybe Arah has as many but I don’t care for all the trash in Arah either.
And last but not least……ONE way point?!!!?! Learning this place wasn’t fun. We made a lot of mistakes in learning it and it just sucked running back all that way. Especially the last boss. I hated it actually…..may even vow to never step foot in there again :P
The precursor weapon and Loadstones are the hard part. To buy them for my legendary at current TC prices it will cost well over 300 gold! + 20g for the two recipes you need. And the prices go up every day. I was saving, but I can’t keep up with the inflation.
It seems ArenaNet just wants the rich kids to have a legendary.
Yep the precursors have gotten stupid. I was saving gold to buy one but the price goes up faster than I can save gold.
The loadstones/cores are already a huge gold sink since I can’t seem to reliably farm them. Now the precursor is added as another gold sink. No wonder so many gold spammers are in map chat.
I need 200! So I’m looking for a good place to farm them. I tried the destroyer mobs in Mount Maelstrom and after 100 kills, zero dropped. I had 30% magic find.
Anyone know a more reliable place for these other than the TC?
The thing that bugs me about this the most is that it encourages the selling of gold. In a way it IS pay to win. If they aren’t using one of the many gold sellers spamming map chat all day….then they probably spent like a $1,000 and traded gems for gold and worked on the weapons that way.
I wish NONE of the items used to make a legendary where achievable via gold. That would make a legendary even more legendary. Now I see people with them on YouTube and whatnot and I think to myself…that guy probably bought gold for the pre-weapon and loadstones, etc.
I’m bumping this hoping for an answer. It makes sense that he would spawn adds at 75%, 50% and 25%. But like I said it was 75%…..3 adds spawn. Then at 50% they just kept coming and would sometimes despawn and new ones would spawn.
And I know the boss reset at 30% was a bug.
Well, I did Arah story mode and it bugged out on the final bit. That, my friend was anti-climatic.
Logan was floating in the air several meters in front of the ship :C

Aldus Stormbringer in HotW path 1 now spawns adds right? But it seems bugged out still or at least it was on Friday.
The odd thing was the mobs would often despawn and 3 new would spawn. This happened several times. We then started playing with the big patch of ice on the ground at the bottom of the stairs and we could sort of control the spawns. Having someone run over the patch of ice would despawn the adds and then respawn 3 new ones…..AND reset the boss. So we went up above the boss and tried that. Things wen’t normal to 75%, he spawned adds, we killed them and then got him to 50% and then he started sapwning non-stop adds. We had 4 of us kiting and killing ads while one guy stayed on the boss. They simply never stopped spawning, I bet we killed 30 at least. This got us to 30% and the boss reset.
I don’t know if the guy on the boss, a thief, cloaked and that triggered the reset. Or if a pet or something stepped on the previously mentioned ice patch at the bottom of the stairs or what. But it sucked and we called it a night in frustration.
What is going on here? How it is supposed to work?
Just failed it. Friday night 10/12/12. I’ve run this path like 5 times, with zero problems. Now he spawns countless adds and we gave up.
