broken claws and useless items in boss chests

I understand about Fractels and Dungeons. I already do those. I just wrongly assumed that bosses should drop loot equal to thier stature. Not garbage only.

It is still the idea There should not be garbage and coppers in the loot table at all for world bosses.

Hello all.
I understand the purpose behind diminishing returns to discourage farming events,but when it is the daily requirement. I have played since beta. Now when I fight the world bosses, I have been recieving broken claws and coppers as a reward. In the boss chests, they are low end rares. Why has the loot table for world bosses punishing long time players. Can somebody explain this. Luck is almost maxed. This is very confusing on why the game punishes long time players with garbage drops.
Thanks for reading. Look forward to discussing this issue.

Story Line for Solo Players

As a handicapped player, the living story achievements are not handicapped friendly. They are hard to complete and sometimes it just better to walk away and go without the achievements. Hopefully A-net can look at it and come up with a solution.

Multiple Portal Drops

When it comes to RNG. The six gods hate me. I have been running the Silverwastes everyday for hours to no avail. Seen people who have been there a lot less time. They got one. The RNG sucks. But nothing I can do about it. Just keep plugging away and hoping for the best.

How much longer are the portals going to be available? I have been trying but the RNG is not being my friend. To those that have them so far, Congrats.

Find a guild you like. Don’t join because you think you have to. Try all the classes and races before choosing. Most importantly enjoy yourself. If you need help message me in game. Be happy to assist when I can.

playing GW2 just cuz it's not subscription?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Countess Aire.9410

Countess Aire.9410

I play because I enjoy it. Same with GW1.

And I’m fundamentally opposed to paying a monthly subscription. I haven’t yet, very much doubt I ever will.

I am the same way. I am retired with limited funds. Even when I was working why pay to play. My co-workers would go Hungary to pay for pay to play takes. That is what drew me to Guild Wars 1 to begin with. Plus I enjoy the worlds.

Question about guild representation....

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Countess Aire.9410

Countess Aire.9410

I have a personal guild for storage. We require repping during guild events. Those of us in our guild that play lot run out of storage very quick. I personally run 13 characters, so a lot of material cleaned. So to answer the question, during guild events repping is required.

There are few players remaining on this map

You are on a overflow map. Once the main map finishes the boss and players leave it starts eliminating extra maps. Just click no and finish the fight, get your chest then grab the buff for volunteering. Problem solved.

Which PC should i buy..

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Countess Aire.9410

Countess Aire.9410

You should look at a i-5 or i-7 with a minimum of 8 gigs of ram. They run around $600 and up. GTX 550 to graphics card runs around $120 and lower. I run a i-5 3330 while 8 gigs of ram with the GTX 550 ti. I have no problems at boss fights and other large world events. Check Amazon or local builders for some ideas. It is pretty easy to build a computer. OS is another story. I run Windows 10. No issues with gaming as far as I can see.

This made me sad...

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. When you place a run in the LFG tool. Say you will be watching cut scenes. Sorry about the experience, but please try again. Dungeons are fun and good loot besides.

GW1 Aniversary

GW1 is quite a interesting game. The trilogy is best with the Eye of the North that connects all three. No movement during battle and no jumping. Still a great storyline and world to explore. Hope you can find it and enjoy it as much as I do.

Sounds perfect, all I need is to actually buy the game xD

Start with Prophecies. They are available on Amazon. There is three stages in the game. The area called Pre. Once you leave there you level and battle your way to Lion’s Arch. The the story kicks into high gear. It is mostly European flavor. Guild Wars Factions is a more Oriental look. Nightfall is African. Eye of the North ties them all together. Still a great time. Dual classes are fun also. My favorite is Ranger/Monk. If you get the chance pick them up and run through them.

Enjoying the first look. Stress test or not it is interesting. Can hardly wait to see more of the area. The flying is a little awkward to figure out for the first few times but has some good possibilities. Back into the testing zone.

New Ranger Pets?

Sorry. But pets you can ride? Why is that not mounts. The idea is not a sound one, but I can see new pet types for the rangers. They would be great. Will have to wait and see the final release.

We are getting a temp character slot. We can create a new character. Play in the starting zone for temp character. Die horrible screaming deaths. Test the servers and basically have some fun. When the test is over the character is removed. So log in and explore, fight, and enjoy the test. Look forward to release of HoT.

I can understand wanting to sell dye for specific events in game. Why make it a crap shoot. I could see making the gamble in the actual dye type. Not common dyes. I got burned once so not falling for it again.

I seem to die a LOT in PvE. Any ideas why?

Countess Aire.9410

Try to stay one on one. Pull monsters to you using Range weapons. If a warrior class whittle down groups don’t rush in. If a ranger use tank pets and long bow. Attack from distance. Don’t be afraid to break off attack to heal. Getting swarmed is never fun at low levels. Ask higher level guild mates or friends to give you a hand leveling. They can do mob control while you level. Teamwork is great for that reason. If you need help message me in game. I will assist when I can. Don’t rage you will get through it with help.

Buying it. New dragon, exploration, events, skills and class. What is there not to like. It will be nice to learn to hang glide. Big Norn equals big wings. My characters are doing the happy dance waiting for it to begin.

Junk Items

That is the reason world boss fights have lost their luster. Since plating since pre my loot drops have become as I call them garbage drops. You fight a world boss and get broken claws and other trash. You end up losing gold because the rewards are not worth the effort. As a veteran player fighting word bosses. I get fine and low level master craft. Not worth fighting for that reason. Leveling characters is the only way to enjoy the loot table.

I totally agree. Not enough separation to allow us to participate. I enjoy the mini games but still is difficult for players with disabilities. I like to be challenged but some are too difficult for me. The game is still my favorite.

I have created four new players since the change. I have enjoyed leveling them. I send them to the events to earn their attributes. They actually level fast enough just doing map completion. That is just my impression.

Instead of forcing high level players into the starting zones why can’t we be given the option to run events in higher level areas. We could do champion slaying in Orr. Temple captures. Dragon events . Something that will allow high level characters to actually be tested and bot zerging around the low level areas where new players are getting shut out of the events.
