Hopefully the exclusion of these nodes is an oversight.

That’s what I assume it is. *shrugs

Sometimes I wonder though. At times it feels like they like to troll their customers, vets especially.

So if the Iron, Hard Wood, and Flaxseed harvesting nodes which were previously only available through the Black Lion Chests, and are now no longer available in these chests, how are we supposed to get them now?

There’s a MF recipe that requires you to put in Twilight, Sunrise, Eternity, and Bolt… and you have a 33% chance at getting one of the nodes… otherwise you’ll get 10-40 amalgamated gemstones.

Hopefully the exclusion of these nodes is an oversight.

i have to agree with malediktus here

The way Anet did this here seems really unfair or at least makes no sense

1) They offer Achievement related stuff like the things Malediktus listed which definitly seems wrong

2) Then again they dont offer some of the expensive skins like Rocket backpiece which was never related to any achievement so that is no reason to not include it
And the high price of it can’t be the reason either since they also include stuff like the Mini Karka
Anets behavior here in this case is just full of inconsistencies and that is what bothers me!
simple example:
Why do people who bought a Mini Karka and want a Rocket Backpack dont deserve the reward as a possible unlock while people who bought a Rocket Backpack and want the Mini Karka have a chance to get it ?!

side point:
(i also wonder if stuff like Canach Backpack is even intended to be obtainable by this method since it was never obtainable any other way even though it is added to the game since long time)

100% Agree

Then, you add in the seasonal item taking up a slot, and the availability of the Royal Guard outfit as a drop. It’s a kick in the .. like I been saying.

I think everyone gets that chests are not guaranteed to be awesome every time. I think what people want is a little less kick in the you know what.

I guess it is a matter of perception. I don’t believe that people are getting kicked anywhere.

Anyone who has played this game for any length of time KNOWS how things drop from the BL chests. If someone knows this and buys keys anyway, whose fault is it that they are disappointed when they get exactly what they know will probably drop?

If you keep buying BL keys and expect drops from the chests to be better each time you buy the keys well, that is just…

You know the definition of crazy? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I understand that, and again I am referring to the seasonal item as the kicker.

There are many festivals so Wintersday, Lunar New Year, SAB. I’m just hoping whatever else will be sellable or easily converted to coin. Not sure what that would be during non-festival season.

True, I overlooked the other non-holiday type festivals, I guess those will be involved too.

I wonder what they will replace the ToT bags with when Halloween is over. Hopefully they won’t go straight to Wintersday gifts. I would like to purchase some keys to try out this new system, but I won’t until these seasonal containers are gone from the chests.

But it doesn’t sound like they are going to be gone. Hence mine and others frustration. Feel free to correct me if I understood that wrong.

So you think that once Wintersday is gone they will still have seasonal containers? What containers would they have?

IDK. The uncharted territory I guess. Good question.

I’m HOPING that they won’t do something silly like leave Wintersday presents in the chests until next Halloween! So hopefully they will put the Boosters back. If they put something else in, hopefully it won’t be something you can easily get in-game.

But if they do leave festival containers in, I guess I won’t be purchasing anymore keys.

I was really surprised to see it, people have been farming the labyrinth like crazy and have many tot bags. The same situation will be true for wintersday. Can’t see how anyone thought it would be a good idea. As a +1 that is a different story, but taking up a whole slot, well I have already made my feelings known there.

Sorry, didn’t mean to be so harsh. It’s just there’s a lot of forum hate for lock boxes and too many think it’s a the path for quick gold rather than a fun thing to do on occasion. So I deleted that post.

Sure. I like the preview mode, I like the account progression idea. +2

(Some) People already feel they are getting gouged… in my opinion the season item thing only intensifies that. The seasonal item should be a bonus, or not included at all. -5

Seems like a lot of the time Anet is 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. This is not coming from a place of hate.

Yeah, ok, 5s is showing it’s worth, green leather armor is going for more.

And Ascended gear is hardly junk, seeing as you need to salvage it for legendary weapons these days.

I think either you misunderstood me, or I didn’t type clearly. I’m not talking about your ascended drops even remotely… I’m talking about only what comes from BL chests. Classifying some items as “account bound junk” is not the same as saying “all account bound items are junk.” If I get a merchant express from a BLC, that item is account bound junk (to me), and I can get nothing for it… I’d rather have the ToT bag to use or sell at my whim. Your PvP ascended gains have nothing to do with that.

~EW

I used to feel that way when I was always trying to farm stuff for gold. Now gold comes so much easier to me than it used to, I want the stuff I can’t buy with gold. I save those express items for emergencies. I use speed boosters for specific reasons. There is no other way to get speed boosters in the game. You cannot buy them with gems (I’ve looked), you get them for leveling up a new character and from BLCs, and now I can’t even get them out of those. I don’t know why you’d cheer taking something away from other players that they like, instead of getting on the side of seasonal items should an added perk, not a replacement for an entire slot.

Completely agree, couldn’t have said it better myself. Addition by subtraction is usually not a good thing.

On a positive note, I managed to get the new glider (not exactly a pinnacle of beauty, but that’s besides the point) twice within 6 chests, the game was kind enough to take the second unlocked glider and replace it with two black lion keys, stating that it does this with all account bound rewards you already redeemed on your account.

Well that is a good change, I wish it was retroactive!!!

I love how the community wants it both ways. There’s one faction that said boosters were overvalued and worthless drops from BL Chests. Now that they replace it with a seasonal item, you have another faction saying that boosters were useful and are worth the 100ish gems.

Another candidate for “merge with mount thread” status.

Eh, I think there’s a big difference between requests for mounts and this. Mounts are a feature that arguably is wanted for nostalgia reasons rather than necessity (WPs are faster and more practical, for the most part). In contrast, a race change seems to be as simple to the average person as a gender-bending total makeover.

In both cases, forum veterans will have seen dozens of posts on the topic, so it feels like old news. But it’s a fresh question for new players.

With all due respect, not comparing the subject matter but the frequency/redundancy which could be traced to forum software situation.

Just add it already…

As has already been mentioned countless times, raiders and elitists already find ways to exclude non-meta-conforming players from raids. “Post your API. If you don’t, you’re not allowed to raid with us”.

It would make it infinitely faster if we had an “inspect player” option so this process would go a lot faster.

I don’t see a single difference that adding an “inspect player” option would make, except for positive aspects. L2P MMOs guys.

NO THANKS. WHY DON’T YOU LEARN TO GW2?

I’d rather have you list reasons why the “inspect player” option is bad than simply reply to the sarcastic portion of my post.

If you can list some reasons why it’s bad, that’d be great.

No. This thread has been done time and time and time again in the last 4 years if you want to look them up go ahead. Most people you will find are against it.

It would useful to see what skins characters are using.

Can’t count how many times I asked what skin is that, only to be met with a stone cold stare, an awkward pause, and the character just running away.

Maybe they were from another country and didn’t understand what I said.
Maybe they were an advanced AI sent back from the future, and they couldn’t risk changing my fate.
Or maybe I am insane and they were never there to begin with.

I think you are making that up. EVERY person i have ever asked what skin, was really cool about it.

As someone who has been playing since the first halloween event, casually at that, there is literally nothing for me to do but work on that nightmarish bullkitten of a backpiece, the ascended bat themed one. Which is a giant wast of time with how much resources/gold/dumb luck it takes, could spend all my playtime with no guarantee that I’ll even get everything to make it with before the event ends, and that with spending obscene amounts of gold as well.

I don’t want new Halloween content. I want more changes to the world (Living World & current events) and more festivals that are mostly repeats.

Put another way, I’d rather see dev resources applied to changing the game’s permanent content rather than on a festival that lasts only a few weeks.

Why not both? They could pull this off when they first launched the game with the bare bones of a plan for what they were going to do for both the holidays and the living story, with just as many or possibly even fewer developers and resources than they have now, and with less experience under their belts at that.

How exactly they have they become worse at pumping out content with time? It doesn’t make any sense, if anything they should have been improving and developing a more consistent pipeline over the last four years.

Back at launch they weren’t coming out with a new map every single update. Now they’re trying to. I’d rather have that more often than a new halloween thing that I get to play for 3 weeks out of the year.

Absolutely. I have been pretty pleased with the first 2 installments of LS3. I would much rather have something like these than some temporary festival content I WON’T EVEN PLAY.

Looks like no one's happy re balance patch.

I couldn’t care less about Halloween. No interest in it at all.

I went into the Labyrinth, ran around following a mentor tag, killed 3 bosses, closed some doors, got 8 achievements done and ended up with 173 bags which in turn are oc full of useless crap. There’s nothing available with candy corns that i didn’t get last time, so i don’t see the point in farming the same instance over and over unless it’s to do it like champ trains (mindless numbing farming) for some extra cash.

I’m just getting some achievement points and that’s it. Same boring crap like usual for those that already have experienced it before. For those new to halloween it might be somewhat exiting and a change of pace.

Not trying to be down on the game or anything , I would just MUCH rather see new content in the form of LS or expansion or free new maps or ???

Why should there be a need to choose between them when they should both be worked on? F2P games can do both at the same time.

Just as an aside, in the Guild Wars franchise, the holidays have always been relatively the same, with a couple of new shinies added every year.
