Guild Wars 2

I loved the events, everyday it was fun looking forward to the airship changing location and therefore a ‘new’ tixx dungeon.

I also had no problems with the ‘2 mini out of 5’ thing because I understand that people don’t need to ‘have’ everything, WOW for example had players take 3 years at least to get the set of minis from children’s day or so, and doubly glad that anet gave at least the option to buy the remaining minis.

The puzzle was fun albeit short, most of the area was to split people into groups and that in itself was a good thing, because it meant that anet listened to player’s and tried to fix things at least on the ‘too grouped up together’ problem of the puzzle.

Although the weapons from both the gem shop and the boxes felt slightly lack-luster, the positive side is that the system itself was agreeable, players had to pay gems or currency for either, unlike halloween were it was dominated by the RNG.

The BIG no-no for me in this event, was the Mystery Boxes, I’m a collector and at the very least I wanted to be able to collect the good things, Anet knew the quaggan would be the most coveted mini and so they put in a MF formula to make one if you couldnt find it as a drop from the boxes, that was fine except the formula required ONLY minis from the MB, I had to open 50 boxes to get that amount and that was alot of gems+ gold, just for the mini because honestly, all other RNG box items are always junk except the very coveted and rare ones.

I honestly hope that future events wont be like this, I really hated every event so far with boxes like this and collectables within, this time they were even account bound so non tradeable…

Never seen one drop nor anyone I know have either, the only special case is someone in this forum whom I’ve seen claiming they had picked up said boxes, but that was before the last 1-2 patches so…things might have changed

Is this how where the MF is heading? I sure hope not because I can’t imagine the brave people who wasted stacks of orichalcum, globs, mystic coins and other expensive materials to discover all those new amazing weapon skin recipes wanting to risk sometimes getting maybe a random rare or exotic back, all the while there ‘being a possibility’ that the same recipe could’ve given someone else a new unique skin.

Are you new to the game? This is the way the MF has always worked.

And what recipes are you referring to? Because to make tier materials there is no ‘you might or might not get them’ and when you waste 500 +orichalcum, ectos, mystic coins for a unique exotic weapon skin there is no ‘you might get some orichalcum back and no weapon’

So the question is, are you new to this game?

How about precursors? How many people wasted hundreds of gold on those? Plenty.

And this is completely different because a this isnt a recipe that is 100%. You took the chance and I do hope that all affected will have an opportunity to get their frames back but honestly, people blaming Anet for their own actions are very immature.

Precursors are not a good example because the whole debate about legendaries and whats worth to make it with or not does not come in here, if you throw in random exotics and get one exotic back, thats lame but you can always do it again if you choose to.

The problem in this is that the chance to make the endless toymaker you don’t hyave any retry unlike the individual endless tonics, and I think that to use 4 items that can’t be remade on a chance is a bad precedence for more recipes like this to come, is this worth the try? I very much doubt so and I would prefer to not see more recipes like this in the future, if people just accept this it will never change.

Four Dusks into the forge. What do you get? Another random exotic greatsword. Same concept here. Research the forge before throwing something you care about away on an unknown.

While the dusks are precursors they are still considered random exotics, evidenced by their equal chance to drop out of the MF on any combine, so that is no example at all.

Special event items specially shouldn’t be subject to such abject randomness, it does not encourage anyone to try this, so whenever someone say ‘do more research before doing it’ doesn’t really work because anet wants people to try to discover but the odds to make it worthwhile in the tonics case isn’t worth it

Considering the base of the lion is made, they are probably doing some changes for the next phase of the resconstruction efforts

Don’t blame others for your own gamble, even how hard it is to understand.

I gambled 4 Endless Tonic in the Mystic Forge in hope to get the Toy Maker Endless Tonic, and I got some lame Endless tonic which will be tomorrow’s toy instead.

I think the problem here is that things are as they are, every event has been like this and it’s never been fun.

If it doesn’t make people happy than I think it should be changed, nobody is asking for things to be free but at the very least the normal scenario ’shouldn’t be’ that people can be willing to waste their entire gold saving + gems and not ending up with the few things they wanted out of the whole deal.

Same for the tonics, wasting non regather-able materials for only a chance to get the logical thing is just wrong and a very horrible precedence to set for every other new MF recipe, how encouraged would people be to try new recipes after this? I definitely don’t

I understand that MF is all about exploring, trying new combinations but this situation with the endless tonics actually discourages players to do just that.

The pioneer players are brave enough to use their hard earned and most of the cases extremely valuable materials to try and discover new recipes, but how encouraged would they be if what is given back to them goes more along the lines of junk?

When the ascended gear came out, people wasted alot of materials and didn’t get the items they would have preferred, that was okay because the materials wasted was completely regather-able and the item could still be used with advanced stats.

What is happening here with the endless tonics is that people are using materials that can’t be gathered again in perhaps a very long time, which at the same time costed a hefty sum, all to yield something very subpar in comparison.

Is this how where the MF is heading?

I definitely hope they add some sort of recipe to make the endless toy tonic, we did kind of pay around 7g per mini if we gave up the frame to make the tonic…..its like putting twilight and sunrise together to try and get eternity but you only get a CHANCE that the blade comes out, you might end up getting one or the other legendary back or not at all lol

I don’t agree with this policy at all, it’s only a gamble by using materials that CAN’T be acquired again for a long time for a one chance only to try and get the tonic, I very much would like to roll all 5 endless tonics into one for the sake of space, but this isn’t a way at all…

The mystic forge shouldn’t head towards a direction like this, one thing is to have players pay a few gold to throw in rares or exotics into the forge and end up losing out with a slight chance to get a precursor—at least the materials for such a attempt is recraftable.

With this tonic thing, players not only have to pay from their pockets for the minis if they still want them after making the tonic, we risk to lose the tonics in such a random way is not right in my book..

Of course I realize it’s a optional method and I definitely won’t take my chances on this, but I just feel that after the players efforts to get the 4 tonics, the option to let them combine and get the 1 for all potion should simply be there

I paid 10.00 used a sum of 20ish gold ended up with 4 miniature pets. So, i was being happy and crafted my quaggan mini. I don’t see a reason behind having miniatures i dont like eitherway. I had 3 bloody Snowmans xD

Gratz to you, the problem is that many others wasted triple or more of what you paid and got less than you did. And whenever someone starts on this path they are more likely to fall into the disappointed category than the ‘lucky ones’

I geuss thats true, but i don’t want to sound like a hard kitten even if you spend near 2k gems the odds are favorably enough that you get between 2-5 miniatures indefinitely.

Maybe they should’ve used an alternative way to do so.
But i geuss one of the major problems would be, that people use ingame currency because those pets would be easily attainable.

But it comes all down to the sort of luck that leaves people feeling bad, I have 2 friends one bought 10 boxes and got 2 minis, the other bought 40 and got 1 but alot of junk that could’ve dropped just aswell from the sized gift boxes.

With the mystery boxes most of the time its like people are paying 2g for a Giant gift box…I would hate to see future events going down this road endlessly, everyone are more than willing to pay but at what price is too much?

And the sad thing is, even if people are prepared to waste all their gold and gems on this mystery box, there is no ‘real’ guarantee that it will drop what they want, after all your chances dont increase per box you open, you just open each box with the same lousy chance you had from the one you opened before

The problem is that even the people who spent said money to ‘gamble’ as the OP put it didnt really intend for the sort of conditions anet is providing, some jumped the gun without having any info on the chances, others ‘thought’ anet had learned from halloween and improved the chances and many other reasons.

The gem prices always sky rocket in the first day or so because of the people who act too fast for whatever reason, now they are dropping again when people realize how pointless it is to buy said boxes, this is the whole argument from halloween again – wasting a obscene amount of dollars or thousands of gems without any real chance to get the coveted items is no way at all, and considering this game is all about having things, the ways provided by anet to get said items are pretty bad.

I’ve been a immense quaggan fan since beta, imagine twilight fan but instead of vampires im squeeling for quaggans, its disappointing that even if I was prepared to waste all my gold and gems there is no real way or guarantee to get the minis I want from the winterboxes

Thereon.3495:

I dont understand why everyone wants everything free all the time! Whats wrong with working for something for once? In this case working to get the gold to get the gems to buy the remaining three mini-pets. Yes theyre a lot of gold but believe me when I say you could get that gold in a week if youre willing to put a little effort in.

Think of it as youre getting two free pets out of a collection of five. Its saved you 16g if youre into mini-pets. If you really are the collector you say you are start going to dungeons and working your way towards the gold to buy the gems.

Do you realize how disappointing it is to open 40+ boxes over 3k+ in gems to get exactly 3 minis in which 2 are the same and being in the dilemma of wanting to keep those and yet really really want the quaggan?

Will you accuse the disappointed players next of ‘gambling’ and therefore not have any right to complain because the RNG was crap? I would happily pay x gold for the minis but how much will finally be too much in your standards? Because we can’t buy it in TP and there is NO guarantee that we can get what we want even after wasting 100g+ because the chances are too low and there are NO other options.

I would like to know this aswell, after hearing the Toy Soldier’s pop gun sound and loving it, I really expect or at least hope that the same will be done for the player’s rifle

The question should be ‘why not timed JPs?’. The rest of the game is already filled with normal puzzles and those are boring with no challenge at all to it.

This one had a amazing look and was too short to the point to be disappointing, I personally hope anet makes more puzzles and more alike the halloween one, or this one but longer…it had alot of potential but most of the area was used to split groups.

Although the achievement was easy enough I also thank god that it was only 5 of each, as the OP said, concentrating people to do only a specific task instead of the whole game predictably ended up making most people deliberatedly ignore teamwork and taking the fun out of the game, why be support or heavy gunner when all you needed was say

‘let your gift carrier die’ so maybe YOU can pick the gift and run for it

‘leave everyone else to die so YOU can camp near the enemy base and snipe the enemy carrier’

I liked the event itself and I even saw someone play remarkably well as support just to help the team win, but it wasnt the same for every other player as they all just wanted the achiev so teamwork was non-existent.

ps- to get the stop gift achievement you only need to be part of downing the enemy, as everyone pointed out its easy with scout so the doing the achievement itself isnt the problem

angan.6572:

Can you get the first reward if you run it on different characters ?

You can’t as it’s per account, it does however reset everyday so you can do it again if you want.

And regarding the topic of this thread, nothing in-game is ‘farm-worthy’, I do it a few times whenever I feel to for fun, just as I keep doing the bell choir and the snowball mayhem and the puzzle.

The fact that the event is well made and therefore enticing for players to return for fun is good enough in my opinion, enhancing the rewards to make certain tasks ‘farm-worthy’ only means that it will have people do the same things 1k+ times and therefore becoming a chore.

It was precisely like that in gw1 and I didn’t really warm up to it, wintersday for me was 1-2 weeks running the same instance for hours on hours for the 0,001 chance to get the extra rare polar bear mini and the event’s currency.

Wolfey.3407:

Probably bad word choice on my part, clariffication
I got 21/21 from Mystery Box
Mystery Boxes can drop or you can buy from the gem store
18/21 were from bought boxes
3/21 were from drop boxes

the 3/21 were all snowman x_x
hope that clears things up a little

Just to clarify, the drop boxes are the big/small gift boxes or the personalized gift boxes from snowball and choir? Or some other box I haven’t encountered? x-x

I think that its possible they will do like halloween and have the minis drop from the instance chest along with other gem shop items, and its still 2 weeks to go as others said

You have to bring the gift carrier into ‘downed state’, just slipping or them dropping the box voluntarily doesn’t count

Starlink.6248:

Ok so i have to farm for 15 more days and i have to wait this upgrade. Arena we need precursor from Token dungeon or other skill based things. I won t to buy it from LT or playing rulette at MF. PLZ fix it!

I really wished people stopped asking for things to simply be freely and easily given out for everyone, next thing you want them to mail the legendary of your choice to your mail because it’s too hard to run said dungeons, and then you delete the mail by accident and want it automatically added to your inventory.

But really, a token based system? So we force everyone to run dungeons 1k+ times so you can have items at your convenience? I really hope they never “easy it up” for the masses like putting it in dungeon or anything like that, you don’t “need to have it”, if you dont like to work for it, don’t!

I really cannot agree with implementing some of the easier(almost free-loot) mindset some of the posts have suggested here for the pre-cursors, luckily I got mine from the forge during halloween but if I hadn’t I would have kept on trying doing chests or farming the gold to finally buy it, many people already run within the first 2 months of the game with Eternity and even the other less desirable legendaries, that in itself feels like a cheapened situation.

Now to know some of the community want it “given out” so every average joe can have it? I’m sorry but this game is all about skins, it would be very disappointing for me if there is no skin where I could use and know that only other people who “really worked for it” also have one, otherwise there is no point to this game at all.

On that note, I expect to get dual wielding legendaries and others for my various characters regardless how long it takes, slowly farming up to them and one day be able to display them after much persistence and hard-work is what makes it all worthwhile

I really don’t like the lodestone rate aswell, for something that is needed in so many recipes (even the halloween permanent weapons!) and surely at this rate more recipes using them will come out during next holiday events and so on, the difficulty to get them is virtually unfarmable unless you are a mindless bot ~_~ and even then i doubt they get alot of them per 24 hour farm!

I have also gotten 1 crystal lodestone from a forge recipe at random in the quest for mystic clovers, otherwise I have tried farming earth elementals and only have 1 drop to show for it…but for my entire 2 months playing my character to barely have found over 5 lodestones(I don’t do dungeons yet) is quite disappointing

Really can’t appreciate hats like this one or the black gw2 hat you get when the game was launched, feels weird that your character goes “bald”.

All hats should retain some sort of hairstyle and preferably same color as the hair color our char had to begin with but that isn’t a priority i suppose

Jabberwock.9014:

Did anybody else feel like the Mad King’s story (told by the ghosts in the Mad Memories quest) was a bit too dissonant with his actual character? It seems like the quest was trying to make him out to be a total monster that we should revile (hanging people and putting rotting pumpkins on their heads, killing his wife, etc etc), but than he comes out and plays Mad King Says with us and sounds genuinely sad about dwarves being gone. Seems like they couldn’t decide which direction to go with him…

People can have issues with just about anything these days o.o he is mad so alot can fit into the category, what is so weird that he was a mad psychopath? If he were anything else nobody would have had a problem with him and none of this would be here now, even his sporadic sadness is nonsensical and therefore: mad.

Like in the MK instance when he is mumbling random commands and suddenly yells at us to dance for him, the next second he “sounds” almost sad/desperate by saying again “dance for me….” its all part of the mad act

Also your title is what felt strange for me as with the post itself as you seemed to be asking if the story was too brutal(which it isnt, its just a story) but in the actual post itself you are just asking if the story made sense

The quaggan hands down, myself and a few others actually looked for the ghost quaggan to give it to him, although I do believe that the ones outside TP could’ve gotten alot too for people who don’t care about those cutest quaggan calfs ever

Tinni.4351:

Then specify you are looking for a speed run and be polite about rejecting lowbies or some classes. Don’t make it sound as if there is something wrong with being a lowbie or a specific class. Because there isn’t.

Agreed, but most of them already say “lf 80 only” or something so the issue here raised is that the fact those groups exist and not because most of them dont specify, I do think that people who don’t specify then invite and quickly kick out the invited is rather rude as its simple etiquette on nomal behavior, which a good part of the player base seem to lack.

About the alt thing, its a personal choice as I’m not bringing my alt in for efficiency I don’t like to go with people’s alts who wont have neither stats or traits because it does make a difference, and yet I dont mind people who simply dont have 80s because thats a different story.

Maybe your server has bugged on that issue? A friend of mine did it yesterday fine

Mortbane.4308:

Any lvl 80s who will not take you are some poor lvl 80s. I can understand if they wanted you to be at least 30 so you could have a full skill bar…but ….no I can’t even understand that.

Your entire post is missing the main reason why people are being choosy, it’s not because the dungeon is difficult but because people want to do speed clears, low levels dont have the stats or the traits for that purpose. People can even solo MK if they want to, it just takes a hell lot of time.

Anyway my only problem in this act 3 currently are with the people who have mains but bring their alts instead because they think the drop is better, otherwise I have no problem with people who simply dont have 80s yet

Thing is there is no fault for people who want to do it at 80 as both gear and traits help speed things up, its very slow to run it with non 80 characters regardless how well you may play.

It shouldn’t be a problem for you since you aren’t 80 to make parties with non-80 aswell, if your rant is solely because higher level people choose different than it seems unfair towards the others aswell, a current situation is that some people want to run with their low level alts because they think that dungeon drops can be better(yet they all want to run it with other people’s 80), personally I’m only running with my main and don’t feel like losing time like this.

And really, if next time you plan to do the same I don’t see the point of the rant at all, in the first day I ran entirely with lowbies while I was still using my main, it was slow but once I’m in a party I dont leave or kick people, in your case, if you feel “hurt” that others are doing it to you, your answer is to do it to others? Weird to say the least.

Some servers have a issue with the tower porting people out, overflows or other servers would be the answer to that

About 70+ runs
- random boosters
- 2 random exotics
- 3 blc key
- 3 merchant express
- 2 trading post thingy

And thats it

I actually thought this would happen sometime in my first hours in the puzzle, I mean if you know someone whos good at this sort of thing it would be best…even then its sketchy to give a third party details of your account as you cant guarantee that their pc is safe even if the person is.

On the other hand, if someone wants that 10 point achiev so much even tho it doesnt count for anything else or give a title I think it should be up to them if they want to risk asking a stranger for help

I much prefer it this way, what about other costumes? That would just be excessive, currently each of my character have a diferent costume from the shop, if I ever want to change switching in the bank isnt so hard or time consuming…there is already a lack of space as it is and I have all bank slots purchased…

Besides, claiming it from the gemstore isnt a option as currently if someone accidentally lose any of the items they would have to purchase the costume again and thats a revenue for anet…

A bit outdated with the information unless Act 3 didnt change a thing for you:3

The MK dungeon itself negates those concerns(at least for me), I realize they need to make money and for folk who has $ and not time to run the dungeon they could perfectly well try to acquire said items in the TP from people who got lucky or the chests if they wanted to.

Again, the MK dungeon itself doesnt ruin the economy because the chances are still low for a good chest drop and the event only lasts until the start of act 4, and yet they still allow for players with more time than $ to run the dungeon and add to the pool of these rare items

And for the clover? No change is necessary, the dailies give you 4.5k karma per jug and the monthly gives you a couple of jugs…its too much karma in my opinion and the chances for the clover arent that bad if you do the single yield recipe, no opinion for the precursor as I got mine from the MF…albeit with a small number of tries, but for the rarity they still exist at the TP and the price might be just…not a expert in the area

-The materials such as candy, skulls, nougat and plastic fang will no longer be obtainable
- The recipes will be available as supply allows from players who got these recipes from the tot bags and sell them on TP but no longer from npcs
-They will not disappear, alot of rage would go over this :p
- The scavenger hunt wont be available anymore

The things that wont be there are the ones related strictly to halloween and only appeared for the season, which is most of them anyway…in fact very few things will remain unless they are possessed by players already and transferable

Fayte.1803:

I’ll probably run it like 20 times tonight, its especially fast when you know the shortcut locations, yay suicide jumps! lol

I know the shortcuts too but usually my group goes the “normal” and longer path…arriving there on my own is meh, and im not sure if the boss timer starts counting once I start fighting him and might cause him to port up by the time my group arrives :/

Lets not forget opening n number of bags doesnt equate you getting a increased chance xD every single bag you open is its own % which is low sadly, personally I’m over 3k bags and still nothing, just have to keep trying until we do or the event ends :p

OmniPotentes.4817:

I got 15 pToTbags from the mad king run. Got and endless tonic on my 15th try while having consumed a pumpkin cookie and having an exotic candy corn amulet equipped. Got a major recipe on my next run and got a rare drop from a mob during the instance. The tonic is the first exotic that ever dropped for me. Judging by the posts here I should consider myself very lucky?

I would hate you if I hadn’t gotten a Dusk on my 4th mystic forge try :p this has been a blast of a halloween even if the event isnt related xD

I asked this question yesterday, someone stated that they ran the dungeon with their main many times and only in their very latest runs did they get cool stuff like arachnophobia etc, while others got the crossing on the first few runs.

Personally I ran over 12 hours of the dungeon and got nothing special (still got blc keys, boosters for mkc, gem shop items) while not stellar results its still something and those dropped in the middle to end runs. I would support the idea that changing alts shouldnt matter on the chest and that the chest itself doesnt have DR, the chances are just as they usually are, rare exotics and some get lucky while others dont.

Which is a good thing I guess, would hate to have to run with my alts, boosts to 80 is one thing but the lack of gear and traits makes it very slow

All events in gw1 were made of the same boring mold, when it started, players can get seasonal bags drop from
-a mini-game version of the costume brawl(different then todays)
-from mobs or 1 time only quests, there was
-snowball fight between a player and npcs(instanced in wintersday ie.xmas)
-mini dungeon run (instanced )

the seasonal bags only gave candies/beverage for achievement which consisted of gaining points by eating candy/drinking and at the end of the holiday for one entire day, the themed avatar(mad king, dwayna, grenth etc etc) would appear and do a mini game for every 3 hours or so where they gave more bags and when they left they would give a hat

GW2 holiday has been much more fun and I look forward to more

Khailyn.6248:

however, this is not a post to complain about how short sighted of an idea this was.

I see what you did there :p Anyway, a dev post already stated what in general will happen, some people will get lucky yes but the drop rate is still quite bad, personally I ran in yesterday non stop since the event started and 12 hours later I still got nothing for it.

The prices for said items are only low now because of the “abundance” atm, after halloween the prices have one entire year if not sooner to spike as people “remember” that these weapons arent available anymore anywhere and can only be crafted for 100g+ in mats

All in all, I think that it was a great idea that they provided this small window of opportunity for players who have more time than gems to actually try and get something out of this, its just 2 more days and it ends with the start of act 4

so its possible to get good loot thanks, ran groups nonstop since act3 started but nothing noteworthy to tell about so I was wondering….nothing to it but to keep at it really didnt want to switch to lowbies xD

well yeah the point they are making is that after awhile your char gets DR so changing to alts/other toons should improve the odds…

What is the opinion of fellow players regarding switching different alts to get better chest drops? I heard some ppl say that it works but does it matter at all? I would prefer not to if possible as even with the level boost dps is still crappy without gear and traits…

Are you sure gemstones work? or do you refer to raw gems without filigree? I was sure gems in general are only for ring, earring or amulets

Geikamir.6329:

I think they either nerfed it recently or DR kicks in after a few runs. I got 2 exotics after about 3-4 runs. I’ve probably done 20 since then with nothing but greens.

There wasn’t any hotfixes done so I don’t think so, my 15th run still got me blc key and my last 5fine transmutation stones, they arent amazing things but its still good items

Broken Angel.4956:

Why go there as a low lvl tho?

the back item is nice, personally its too much work to give a item that cant get upgraded slot(that i can find) for just alts

Doubt it, just as how they put in exotic armor with the gw1 hero names but skins from somewhere else, they did it purposefully, and its not such a big deal(ie a fuss isnt being raised over it) that would warrant a change

You need to go to queensdale/gendarran or kessex(i think) and check if the map has pumpkin icons on it, if yes it means the doors located at the pumpkin icon will send you into the realm of mad king, if not events will need to be done for them, usually queensdale’s are always up

Once inside, talk to the charr npc and ask him to send you to the clock tower

I’m not sure how long it stays(heard it lasted until beginning of act 4) but I loved the idea of putting in the otherwise hard to acquire items as a possible chest drop.

Personally I haven’t gotten anything yet but its still early, I know other people who have and I think the idea itself is great, it gives people a small window to acquire them and after halloween they will go back up in price anyway so nothing is too damaged by providing people with this amazing and temporary window of opportunity.

So far I believe the notable drops have been BLC skins, gem shop items such as fine transmutation stone, bank express, blc key, arachnophobia, mad moon and the crossing
