I don’t think you understand what we’re whining about. RNG DOESN’T MEAN hard.
We want HARD CONTENT.
We don’t want RNG CONTENT.

I’m sure the majority of GW2 players disagrees. There are already posts complaining the end boss fight in this episode is too hard, while it’s a pretty straight-forward boss encounter. I’m fairly sure most players prefer finishing the same easy event 50 times to get the loot they want (on top of a batch of other loot), instead of failing a hard event 19 times before they finally get their loot on the 20th try. Besides, Anet has a very poor history with “hard” mode imo. So I’d rather they stick to their precious RNG and not try to make anything “hard”.

1. Easy boss with RNG and unknown drop chance (you can get what you need at the 1st try and leave with a smile on your face or you could spent a year and still not get a thing)
2. Hard boss with 100% drop chance (it could be hard but you will learn in time how to win)

… you decide ? i would choose guaranty drop.

flarezi.9381:

It’s easy boss, and yes I agree that we want harder bosses! But what I meant is maybe gaining full carapace armor set shouldn’t be easy. it’s end of this living season after all.

at some point you are right, but i would realy much enjoy if the boss was way harder to defeat or the achivements would be more harder … but without RNG. Because the whole game is simply RNG lottery. Whenever you a PRO or a noob, no matter how skilled you are, no matter how often you play – its just one lucky RNG moment when you can obtain something that makes you rich or famous.

I would lovely kill hard boss with 100% drop chance then easy with RNG loot system.

Bubi.7942:

Doesn’t it get added to the vendor when you get the first one from the Vinewrath?

No! Only hardcore! only mindless farm!

Glove box can be aquired by opening the labirinth chest. I got 3 boxes after 60+ keys.

I killed new event boss 2 times since patch came out. 1st took 1h, and the 2nd – about the same. I got only 1 carapace coat box (reward, not loot) so i realy don’t get the reason why do ANET dev’s desided to include last armor piece with their ridiculus RNG system.

Is it realy as it seems? like “oh who cares, anyway they WILL farm it” – but why can’t just they add the item to vendor ? annoying.

Dear ANET!

Please, add this item to the Silverwastes vendor!
Stop complicating player’s in game time.

That’s all.

I was enjoing by playing Caithe as a member of legendary Destiny’s Edge.
Don’t you think it was nice to know why were they so good to be able kill the dragons? what skills they were using? what makes them so special? ofcourse i get used to play my own main character but i see no problem by playing with someone else.

For those who don’t like to play all other characters except their own i sujest to be more patient because ANet trying to satisfy all player and everyone has it’s own opinio and thoughts.

It is cool in 1st time
It is competely sucks when you are doing it in 8th time (I have 8 characters) or even more if focused on achievments

8 times ? LOL Why would you do that ? i was completely fine with Caithe gameplay – 1st on LS completing (with 3 diff. char’s) and 2nd – on doing achivements (with 1 character).

Let it be the asc. backpack with sinister stats and unic skin. That would be enough.

VodCom.6924:

Why can’t some enjoy doing a defense for the sake of doing it, instead of doing it to be the first to obtain some ugly shiny pants ?

it’s not a problem to be the 1st to obtain all things (if u’re the RNG GOD himself) – it’s just gives you a chance to collect all needed components faster by grinding breaches and bosses. For me it tooks 3 days to get the Teragriffs Spleen while i got 5-9 pieaces of each component.

Where can i find the loot-list from the JP chest ? wonna check how profit is it to be daily

Lothirieth.3408:

I’d really like to know if the developers who made these armor and collection grinds actually have subjected themselves to it? Have they subjected themselves to grinding thousands of crests every two weeks? Have they subjected themselves to completing these collections and the horrible RNG for troll parts that comes with it?

I guess they just dont care of it – keep on grinding …. Babe
to the son of Limp Bizkit – Keep Rolling

Alright partner
Keep on grindin’ baby
You know what time it is.

Move in, now move out
Boss up, now Boss down
Hurry up, Hurry up
Tell me what you’re gonna do now
Breathe in, now breathe out
Chest up, now Chest down
Back up, back up
There is a labirinth chaos

:)

it was the weekend spent on grind and still i dont have the whole collection items.

1st ANet creating chest inside the labirinth with a random chances to obtain Armor Box with a random variaty of armor piece – it could be 1 of 6 carapace armor item.

2nd they added the Luminescense Footwear collection without any chance to guarantee obtain the Carapace Boot Armor Box unless buying or randomly get it with a Bandit or Labirinth Chest.

3rd ANet “balancing” the grind by adding the spare boss’s organs wich you have to combine “2 in 1” in order to achive Luminescense Footwear.

Don’t you fools understand what a hard work do ANet did to make us players to be happy ? Why are we so annoying asking them to make things right with some pathetic suggestions on HOW should the game be ? It’s just so wrong ! You make me cry …

Arena NET – thank you!

Mithyl.8620:

And what’s up with needing two bladders/spleens that you somehow “combine” together to make a proper organ? What professor brainiac graduated from Hollywood Upstairs Medical College and thought that was a solid idea?

sorry i didn’t notice your post, friend +100500 to you!

Gothica.6718:

i agree full-heartedly i came into this patch expecting similar to last one where you had to grind all the crests i was ok with that as i had 3000 crests already saved up and i spent them on the 2 other sets of leggins and set of boots only to discover by idle chatter that the leggings could be got simply by doing the story 2 more times O.o

wait what ? did they let us take leggins thru the story ? it would be realy good.

But! the amount of components from bosses is frightening because from 30+ bags (different bosses) i looted only 2 new components. But this is not all – in order to complete the Luminescense Leggings you must gather 2!!!! parts from each boss to combine in 1. i Realy hate this grind so much … like Anet have nothing to do except of grind creating job. That’s sux.

Tachenon.5270:

I got a quaggan backpack last night from a Black Lion chest opened with a reward key. Not something I would have picked, necessarily, given a choice, but still, I would put it into the ‘cool’ category. At least it was an actual thing, and not a chance for a thing, like that stupid RNG within RNG dye kit I got the other day with a 1 in 6 chance for an ‘exclusive’ dye.

Your quaggan backpack IS the RNG loot and you had 1 of 62 chances to get it

Check the list of things from the Black Lion Chest

Rasimir.6239:

How about you simply don’t farm? Drop into Silverwastes every now and then when it’s fun for you, but don’t worry about it if you’ve got better alternatives? It’ll be a couple of weeks instead of a couple of hours to get the skins this way, but you’ll avoid all the farming and spending time on content you don’t want to do at that moment.

I don’t know about you, but if I have the chance of aquiring some skins I’d like in a couple of weeks on the side, or in a couple of days by grinding content I don’t enjoy to play for that long at a time, then the choice is easy. Especially since Silverwastes played in moderation is actually a lot of fun.

I dont mind if i can’t get those skins in easy way right now – eventualy i will buy ’em or will get as a rare drop from the labirinth chest (anyway i dont have any others posibilities). The main point was to discuss the reward system wich could give us a choice to choose an alternative reward insteed of fully replacement of one item by another. I am talking not only about the SW chest and achivements – i want to hear the thoughts of players about the reward system changes in total. In my homble opinion, reward system should be oriented on every player – ready you to farm a lot or not.

Bubi.7942:

I think you got some issues man. Take a break. Enjoy time with family and friends, you don’t have to do it.

Once you cool off, you could look in the numerous threads already on this:

- You can get it from bandit chests
- You can get it as event rewards
- You can get it from Greater nightmare chest
- You can get it from PvP track
- You can buy it for 1000 crests + 1 g

Notes:

- You get bandit crests from the Story
- You get bandit crests from the achievments
- You get bandit crests for extracted mordrem parts (which you do anyway for the skin)
- You have infinite time to do it (well, until servers are shut down or you cease to exist)

Toughts on why Story doesn’t give that anymore:

- I think it was not intended at the first time either, it was simply an oversight (compare price with how “hard” it is to get from story)
- Was unfair to players who do not have 80 alts
- Decreased incentive to actually play the zone

Hope that clears things up.

^
Considering all of this from the start i started this topic with a simple question about the possibility of choice for players in future due to gameplay with the Chest VS Key as for example. I had enough farm to complete 4 legendary (without MF) and i know how is it when you must grind in order to get what you want but nowadays i’m asking myself and now all of you also – would it be better if the game itself will give us a chance to make some choice. Ofcourse it’s a hard decision ’cause of variety of things but due to story events it could be more interesting.

For now i had no time to farm as previous so i was glad when i had a possibility to get the needed part to complete the achivement without the necessary to farm.

Ykfox.3825:

I actually got my third glove box out of one of the Lost Bandit chests. So you don’t have to set a single foot into the Labyrinth if you don’t want to. You can farm up the 1000 crests and get it that way, or try your hand at the buried chests.

2000 chrests on gloves.
2000 – chest
2000 – leggins
2000 – boots
2000 – helm

farm farm farm MORE farm for the God of Farm. Dont you think that you should have more time to play and not to grind ? Its like you can spent some time with your friends but “NO! Silver Wastes and chrest farm avaits!” … just like that.

Pathetic.

Exo.2965:

Question to every player:

Do you want this changes to be happen or not ? What is your thoughts about this system in future.

I prefer the BL key if I’m honest. I have more than 3 level 80s and this reward gives me a reason to play the story arc more than 3 times (which I’ve done).

Having the option to choose isn’t a bad idea, but honestly I still think I’d pick the key each time anyway. I’m not one of those players that must have the luminescent armour straight away though, so I’m just accumulating the required bandit crests at my own pace. I don’t have all the fangs anyway so why rush to get all the crests.

1st you must have the option to choose and then you can decide what is better for you. As for me – i would gladly pick the Armor Box and complete the Achivement. But also i would have an option to take the key by my other alts if i want. I just dont like to much grinding in this game. RNG in this game is oughful.

Healix.5819:

fyi, the boxes are sold at the crest vendors for 1g + 1000 crests. You don’t need to grind the labyrinth.

Personally, I’d rather have a 3rd option. If I wanted a key, I’d farm the personal story and the carapace boxes are easy to obtain. I play about an hour or two a day on average in the Silverwastes for example and have gone through maybe 4-6k crests since the last update.

The main point is not to play HARD and MORE … we must discuss the reward system as it may or should be, when you have a chance to choose by your own the reward you need between 2 items. I do have some 1k crests but i don’t have time to farm more or so. It’s just some kind of waste of my time in total.

Since the last patch, there’s no more chances to get 2nd and 3rd Carapace Armor Box by compliting story line with alts. They were replaced with Black Lion Keys.

It’s not bad but … Now you must grind the Labirinth in SW in order to get 2nd and 3rd Box … and i guess every single one due to the 3-4-5 and 6 story line chapter. That would be 10 armor pieces wich you will need to gather to complete the Luminescent Achivement. And i forgot to mention that Boxes will be not the 1 of 2 wich is needed, it will be 1 of 10.

Simple question to Arena NET:

why dont you leave us a single chance to choose the reward like it was early in character story line ? Like " you will be earned with a common item BUT you will be able to choose between Armor Box and BL Key " – it’s up to you what to chose …. sound interesting, or not ?

I would prefer to complete story line twice in a row and get the needed item, than spend my time on grinding with a little chance to get the item as a RARE drop from the event chest and split on that kitten ed Labirinth with a tones of runs.

Question to every player:

Do you want this changes to be happen or not ? What is your thoughts about this system in future.

Ogwom.7940:

Now if you remove The Moot from the list of those 3 legendary weapons and replace it with Eternity, would you girls/guys still vote Frostfang as best legendary?

1st of all – what class do you play and what class do you have? considering to this choose the most needed legendary wich you will be able to use by most of the time playing with your different characters.

2nd – what is the main spec and role of yours? WWW, PVP, PVE? you can shoose the weapon most profitable due to gameplay.

3rd – Personal: Howler was my 1st legendary cause of WWW playing as condi-remove-heal-shout-warrior and beacuse all other warhorn skins are ugly. Plus Howler gives you unic Fog animation. 2nd was Frostfang – for my warrior (axe for PVE and WWW) and for my necro (playing on WWW). Then comes time for Incinerator for my Thief and again Necro. And last was Bolt – for my warrior (WWW), Thief (WWW, PVP, PVE), Mesmer (all the time) … and i’m thinking to LVLUP ranger who can use all of these weapons.

As you see – you can choose by yourself what you need more.

By far the best weapons are:
GS – Greatsaw Greatsword
Axe – Frostfang
Mace – Moot (but how often will you use it ? srsly)
Hammer – Juggernaut and Entropy (both nice but 1st is Legendary with unic visual effects)

1 exotic Sword with Fractal skin
1 exotic Stuff with Ambrite skin
1 exotic Ascalonian Warhorn
1 exotic Shield

+ Mystic Forge

= Colossus / Well Done !

Meluna.1764:

Celestial gear is ridiculously hard to get. It has to be self-crafted, because every part is accountbound on this stat combo exclusively. Weird enough but ok. But also the charged crystals are time gated. WHY? I have tons of completely useless quarts. Why is the conversion still time gated? Ok, go farm some quartz nodes and just pray to RNGesus for charged drops. But… turns out the nodes are accountbound and there are only 2 or 3 in total… Why? Why do you hate celestial stats that much that it absolutely must be a complete pain in the posterior to craft a single piece? Even most of the ascended time gated materials are tradable which makes it easier to obtain ascended than celestial. Is celestial really so completely overpowered that it validates requiring an entire month to craft?

Ascendent armor also has its own daily craftable components 1 per 24h. Why don’t you hate this that much ? I suggest you to relax and play – you will get your gear in time.

Is it possible to use Guild weapons with Mystic Forge ? if not – it’s sadly.

I realy can’t understand the crying about the dungeon-sell-posibility via player-to-player system.

Is it realy hard for some players to understand, that even if you can spend 15-20 min. to finish dungeon path, you always have an alternative way to safe your own time for 1g (2.5g per path with 1.5g reward) and earn 60 badges, save same 15-20 min. and be free to go ?

Stop envying ! The player who offers you to buy path, spent a bit more of his own play time for a “small compensation”. I myself know every dungeon and prefer to make fast runs with easy money, but when you have no time but need badges – sell offers is always is an option.

LOL this topic is the biggest flood of envy that i’ve ever seen.
Thank you TS, you made my day!

Good day, Halasimir.

If you’re choosing only between – Guard/Engi/Necro – then it would be a good decision to think about Guardian. Why ? among other classes, guardian is able to support both himself and other party members at the same time having a good defensive abilities and high direct or condition damage (according to your play style).

I have all classes (except of ele and ranger) and can say that thief+guardian combo may be very usefull in every dungeon.

You can contact me ingame. Have a nice day.

I got a few gemms left after last trade (before the patch) and now there’s no way to spend them. Thank you Arena Net – this is the biggest fail of yours ever.

I dont think ANet will remove their new exchange system neither will decrease the gemm price.

Happy Halloween everyone

Check Dev Tracker – it’s getting a “custom” amount option sometime as soon as they can get it out.

Could you link it ?

GL with your plans, hope you don’t get a mailbox overflowing with gimmie requests.

I was actually thinking of 1000g giveaway part 2 after this (2000g) but depends how well this goes and how fast I make it

1000 gold … would be just enough to complete my Bolt craft heh …

As usual, daily run took place in CoF p1p2, SE p1p3, and AC p1p2p3. It was before i got enough badges to complete Achivements (buy all gear) for this dung’s.
- in this case i’m using my bers warrior (Axe/Warhorn (better for Me) + GS)

Now i’m running CM p1p2p3 and CoE p1p2p3. And if i have more time – TA (without Ather path).
- in this case i’m using bers thief with Deception skills (S/P + D/D)

In other cases i’m just doing my daily runs across Rich Iron/Platinum Veins (30 min per 1 run, wich can be made by your every characters once a day).

Starting from the February 2014 i crafted 2 Legendary and have 900g and 150 slots in my bank fulled with Iron/Steel/Platinum/Darksteel Ingots.

Lacey Hiteshue.4082:

Hey guys,

If you are having this issue and crashing after the update we recommend you try the following troubleshooting steps to try to resolve the issue.

First, try disabling any antivirus you have on your system. Sometimes after programs/games are updated, the antivirus program will see them as a threat due to the new files added to the program/game which can cause issues.

If this does not resolve the issue and allow you to download/launch the client you can try moving the game out of the program files folder. If you are not sure how to do this please follow the instructions below.

1. Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 folder, which by default should be C:\Program Files(x86)\Guild Wars 2.

2. Move this folder to a new location like C:\Games\Guild Wars 2. The location doesn’t matter specifically, as long as it’s outside of Program Files and Program Files(x86).

3. Navigate to this new location and “Right-click” on “GW2.exe” selecting “Create Shortcut.”

4. Rename this shortcut to “Guild Wars 2 Admin Mode.”

5. “Right-click” on “Guild Wars 2 Admin Mode” and select “Properties.”

6. Click the “Compatibility” tab.

7. Checkmark “Run this program as an Administrator.”

8. Click “Ok.”

Once completed, please double click “Guild Wars 2 Admin Mode” and try playing Guild Wars 2 again. If this helps resolve your issue, please copy that shortcut and use it to start Guild Wars 2 from now on.

If you are still experiencing issues after performing the above steps, comment on this thread and let us know.

I already reinstalled the game client and its still not working.
Any help ?

Nice helpfull Tool for gathering to. I can help by adding coordinates for upsent rich iron and platinum nodes.

The main point of legendary weapon – is luxury and unic visual effects. Even if GW2 is a “game of skins” there will be players who play in exotic stuff and those who can spend their money to obtain BIS (best in slot) items via ingame shop – Black Lion Trade Company. If ANet will create and implement new Legendary stuff into the game it surely will get profit from it plus will increase interest of players who would love to have such things for themselves.

From another side – why do the player’s thoughts can’t be implemented by developers? It’s because of “protection of intellectual property” – other words – “you can’t use what was created by me without my permission”. But they can_use your idea to create something similar

Legendary runes and sigils are very intresting to the game. And i wish ANet will create such … in time.

No Stalwart’s skins (except of coat) via Story Line rewards. So its ipmossible to earn those skins in such way. You have a choice between items with similar names but not the skins.

It’s a good idea to implement legendary runes and sigils but i suppose we need to discuss two things:

1st – is that the Legendary rune (we dont talk now about the price) should allow to save the 6-runes bonus, no matter what runes are beed used (but only! if all 5 other runes are the same. if not – legendary rune will give us ony its standart attributes)

An example for Shout Warrior:
Demand of Justice (Legendary) Rune
Increase outgoing heal by 15%
You grant regeneration (50% of your last heal) to each ally you heal
Rune: Superior Rune of the Trooper

Call of Barbarian (Legendary) Rune
Increase your Power by 5%
Decrease incoming damage by 15% for 5sec after taken critical strikes (CD 15sec)
Rune: Superior Rune of Strength

2nd – Legendary sigils should allow us to use and increase the elemental damage, not to mention the possibility of visual efects.

For example:
Eye of Primordus (Legendary) Sigil
You have a chance to ignite your foe on strike and cause burning 15% of damage delt
Increase damage by 7%

The Lost Prophecy (Legendary) Sigil
You have a 15% chance to create a healing wave around you (visual effect) and heal your allies for 50% of your Healing Power
Gain a charge of +10 healing each time you kill a foe

How about that
And it would be wise to let us use only one Legendary rune at the same time.

Dagger is for Backstab. And then you will need another dagger in offhand. But in PvE pistol is way to proffit cause of mass blind.

I do have a helmet (wich i got from PvP) and the coat (personal story reward). Personal story do have a rewards as the Stalwart’s armor pieces (boots and gloves) but their skins are not truely Stalwart’s one. Only the name. I realize that some thing in this game should be unic or realy hard to obtain, but deleting completely is not an option, in my homble opinion.

Hope ANet will post their Answer here. Realy hope.

Greatings to everyone.

I was wondering, if there’s still a chance to obtain the Stalwart’s Shoulders and it’s medium armor skin?

http://en.gw2treasures.de/item/5638

[img]https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/70840/gw410.jpg[/img]

I have created and completed all personal stories for my thief from the begining and there’s no such skin available thru the mission bonus rewards. This shoulder’s skin is unic and fit to a lot of possibly variations of armor sets.

Dear ANet devs, if you are reading this thread and if Stalwart’s shoulders skin is not available, plz can you consider of its implemention in the future?

Thank everyone. Have a nice day.

T5 is simple enough . The main reason you need to know is that you need 4-5 full parties with ppl who know what and when to do for quick reaction on Bonus events. But among them you need another 20-30 or more ppl (randoms) who will help you with such events as Giant, Queens, Race, North and South Mines, etc. Only fast responding on every event will help you reached the T5. Without trying you will never get anything.

Also try to find Dry Top T4-5 taxi thru the LFG system.

Collect shests during T4-5 Dry Top, it will increase your chances (had none fossil on T1-3). Plus you will be able to buy lockpicks at low prices. Opened 200+ chests so far and got 4 fossils. Already crafted weapons and i realy like it. Going to craft 2 more if i’ll got another fossil

for those who trying – keep trying. i know that Anet’s RNG is ougfull but we can;t do anything about it. Good luck to all!

BIRDPUNCHER.8263:

Goshawk the pirate queen~

where did u get those Shoulders ? i guess its Stalwart skin …

It’s still bugged. Even after you saved all of NPC’s, one of them die when you entering to the final defence event. The Dulfy’s suggestion to revive NPC’s after compliting the event don’t work anymore.

Dear ANet gamedev’s, please, fix that god kitten bug!
