Guild Wars 2

Whatever the result, whoever thinks differently will say it’s just a vocal minority. It’s a nice argument, works anytime you don’t like what someone is saying.

So out of lets say, 100 people who spent 3 hours or so participating in a long-chained hard event, a lucky 40% win the RNG lottery and rewarded with a precursor which nets them a sum of gold any other player would have to farm half a year for?

Zommy was fair, you had to get 4 exotics, and sacrifice them for chance, but this event? Wow, and hearing about things like people with Trial accounts walking away with Dusk, while others are getting drops worth barely 1g, horrible, terrible move, has utterly put me off playing or even making an effort, feels like half of my friends suddenly got a ‘free’ rich boost out of nowhere with me and a few others getting disgraceful rewards in comparison, severely disappointing.

Never been one to be sore about others getting lucky with drops but when its such a high percentage with some people getting left out, feels almost like I was cheated considering I put in the same time and effort, with half of the players that helped walking away with barrels of legendary treasure, while the other half watches slack-jawed and speechless and some angry too.

Guildie got an awesome ring today

Perfectly? How about… at all?

So i got dc’d in the new dungeon which is on my half. But when i tried to join my group again i wasn’t able to get back in to the same maps as them. It actually just started a whole new area for me. Kinda saddening but it’s whatever. Was just making it known.

Another RNG money grab, that’s all.

Maybe they’re going to have a lemon party.

Yeah, how evil is it for a company to make money, anyway?

So you like for your car dealer to lie to your face about what the car has, just to get more money out of you?

Horrible analogy.

Actually it’s a good analogy. Would you think positively of that car dealer and buy your next car from him?

Basically my belief is that they saw how many people their game attracted, pulled a Blizzard and got money hungry, and are now trying to keep them playing.

And the long term consequences will be that in the end, these dungeon loving players will move onto the next conventional MMO – and GW2 will be an unauthentic brand that sold out – [EDIT—>] not making any money, cause players moved on.

Not only that, but when Greens were introduced they added a specific way for a player to get a max stat item with a specific set of bonuses, whereas before that you had to just hope that you got lucky and got a weapon with 1) Max damage, 2) Max bonus stats, that 3) Had the right combination of upgrades that you wanted.
And every character got a free Green with the stats of their choosing when they completed a campaign.

They offered no mechanical advantage over weapons that were already in the game.

They reduced the amount of grind required to find a weapon with a specific set of stats.

And nobody complained about them adding Greens in the first place.

Greens had the same stats as maxed golds.

Scepter has some VERY slow casting abilities and auto attacks except the water and air auto.. I will write more later for unknown reasons.

I don’t really know why people seem to think they’re entitled to extra responses. We know the items exist, we know they’re slated for an upcoming update. We just don’t know exactly when. They’re not obligated to tell us when. The items likely still have some bugs that are being worked out to make sure that no one’s character gets messed up and/or they want to drop them with a larger update.

Sure, I’m chomping at the bit to recustomize my necromancer and elementalist, but I’m not going to say ‘For shame’ or ‘How awful’ when ArenaNet doesn’t reply to a long thread that’s essentially just people complaining the items aren’t in the shop yet.

They’re coming, guys. It might just take a while.

I can’t wait for this to become available! it’d be cool if they released it with some new hair styles or face choices… the sylvari options are especially meager imo

I pray that the risen haven’t got their filthy hands on it. And please for the love of god that it won’t be bugs and insects.

Yea zombie-like creatures are getting lame, boring, stupid and horrible in overall

What if I’m a necromancer? I fiddle with dead things and yet I’m the charming hero of old. Come on now.

It didn’t stop Trahearne…nor did his bland, unconvincing reactions to everything, incompetence in battle, or utter lack of shame for taking credit for absolutely everything the player-character did.

Quit whining. Not everyone does that, and if they do, find a group that doesn’t. They don’t need to add a cry button because some antisocial kittens are being mean and only let cool kids play with them.

I’m an 80 and I’ve never cared what level my group was in AC exploration. As long as they follow along and listen, I don’t even care if they’re first timers.

I also learned a valuable lesson from this holiday event:

That I SHOULD really hype myself up for future ones. The clocktower is amazingly adrenaline-pumping, visually impressive and perfectly balanced, the labyrinth is fun, and the PvP minigames are genuinely unique, enjoyable, and rewarding.

I also really love the scavenger hunt.

I notice you also have a full set of T3 cultural armor. Probably one of those guys who capitalized on the mystic forge bug where Godskull greatswords were making precursors. He probably still has thousands of gold after making this double legendary.

Right… it couldn’t possibly have anything to do with having spent hundreds of hours playing the game. Guy’s more successful than you, so he must have cheated?

Troll harder.

He actually said he spent a large amount of RL money on gems to get gold and take advantage of the TP from early on – i.e., buying precursors when they were only 60g. I have 550 hours played, 200 gold, Gift of Fortune & Gift of Mastery (all of the Karma requirements done), and all I need is the Precursor (Dusk or Dawn) and either Charged or Obsidian Lodestones to craft the final gift.

I didn’t buy any gems → gold so I wasn’t able to buy a precursor for 60g a month ago, and since then I’ve been playing catch up with the steadily increasing prices.

Its too freaking expensive!

What does that matter? Its not like you need anything on the Gem Store to play the game.

True. But then again its like I don’t need to play the game at all. Still I play, and still people do want keys!

With an option for guildies. +1

80, Mesmer, currently 8/10 ’cause I just dislike Orr.
