Like many in the community, I have reached the cap for essence of luck usage. Many others are closing in on the cap as well. Are there plans maybe to raise the cap? Are there plans to make some sort of “Luck Eater” like other materials have? Is it possible to make a recipe to upgrade the luck past exotic for the one day that actually may come when there is a use for it. Storage is at a premium. Maybe make a “Luck Gobbler” much like the candy corn gobbler that gives random transformations or game buffs. Or simply if an account has reached the max, make it so they no longer get luck.
Interesting discussion great points for it, as well as great points against it. Whats is truly going to be UGLY is the FPS when you have 10 sets in a RAID group attacking. 10-20 sets in WvW. people complain now about all the particle effects, I can hardly wait to see what FPS will be after they realease the sets.
Thank you all for the insightful and funny responses, First and foremost I am sarcastic but never angry or outraged. I know where that line is and I like to cross it each and every day. Currently in game we have a node from almost every zone, so I was a little surprised when none were offered for the newest zone.
I guess I could of asked for something more realistic like the following:
Recipe: Legendary Luck which convert exotic luck to the legendary purple item to conserve bank space. Since there is no “Luck Eater” once maxed.
An upgrade to both the "Cloth and Leather nodes to work much like the ones in WvW and the guild halls.
Really no Petrified Stump or Skritt stash for Home Instance.
First and foremost, thank you Anet for all the nice wonderful things you let us put in our HOME INSTANCES. Maybe one day we may get a petrified stump or a skritt stash to add. At present I feel like I just lost on the Guild Wars 2 Game Show, here is your consolation prize “20 Hungary Cats & 1 frog”
Once again Thank you ANET for the hard work in creating this wonderful game and building this awesome community.
First and foremost, I would like to personally thank the game developers for this outstanding pop culture reference. What pop culture reference could the legendary short bow be referring to, why The Muppet Movie and the Oscar nominated song The Rainbow Connection. Just like the song says, “Someday we’ll find it the rainbow connection the lovers, the dreamers, and me”.
Loved the Halloween Event Thank you ANET. I noticed you made an item to eat the Candy Corn. It is a great step in the right direction. Would it be possible to do something like that with the “Essences of Luck”? I currently have 2988 Exotic Essences that are currently unusable. A picture is worth a 1000 words.
As one of the early adopters of 300% MF and a 11% bonus from achievement points, I have collected more than my fair share of unusable luck, I want to thank each and everyone for speaking up and posting. It is my hope that the something actually comes from your post, and does not fall on deaf ears.
Thank you all for your enlightening responses to the post. I suppose I am at fault for rocking a natural 300% a week after the magic find revamp came out. I have enjoyed the constant rain of rare drops as well as exotics over the last year. Now with the added 11% MF from Achievement Points, it is not uncommon for me to run close to 500% or higher fully buffed with in game bonuses. Now if luck was a crafting material and was able to deposited into the bank, I would be able to deposit most of the unusable commodity “Essences of Luck” I would settle to upgrade the Exotic Luck to the Legendary Purple ones you get as a reward for the monthly. I am sure I can’t be the only one with this problem, I can see by one of the responses there is at least one other player very close to the 300% and has figured out when and where he will get it. I tip my hat to the math mate. I just wish the game would recognize that my “Luck” is maxed and maybe offer me a lesser value alternate reward.
I have been fortunate enough to level my magic find to 300%. I have also been fortunate to get that level raise through the use of achievement points, thank you for that by the way. With that being said, I have collected a lot of unusable Essences of luck through the daily and monthly. I also have several “Refugee child’s drawings” which also reward luck also unusable to me. Is there a plan to raise the cap on the luck? I noticed that you have implemented ways to consume bloodstone dust and now Karma, is something in the works for the extra luck?
Thank you for your time and consideration in the matter.
