Assault Knights not dropping loot/chests.

His math is neither here nor there. Every other mob in the game drops their loot individually for each player involved, there would be no reason to make the champion boxes doled out in that manner, especially when you can get 3x as many from FGS and 2x as many from QD.

Oh, for sure. Kind of a letdown, also losing out on 3/4th of your chances at Cores per hours kinda hurts. The prices are just creeping up…

We managed to hit 10 individual threads on this issue between this forum and the bug forum. Can we hit 15 before Anet replies*? Only time will tell.

*I am in no way endorsing making duplicate threads, just playing on the amusement factor of this development.

A canned “This issue, whether it exists or not, is being looked at” would at least be Something, even if it was a blatant lie, lol. And yeah, being a Necro, I know EXACTLY what you mean.

An this is the 10th thread on the loot issue, and still no Anet reply! Can we hit 15? Even 20? Only time will tell!

Also, for relevancy, “I too am not receiving loot from these events.”

Exactly. What I am saying is that there are people who are trying to say (in their adorably fanboy way) that WE are wrong, and Anet is infallible.

Thread number 9, one more to hit double digits before Anet responds, will it happen?!

Also, so this is relevant, “I too am not getting loot!”

I could understand if it was an issue that took some doing. I could even understand if it was Intended as a change and the change did not make patch notes. There would be an uproar….but to just say Nothing….it is disappointing.

No, they have never….

And even tongue in cheek, there are some people who think this is a misunderstanding and not a bug…well, why did the Knights drop loot before patch, and even get a message in the patch notes about their loot specifically, and then patch hits…BAM, not one single person I have spoken with has gotten a single drop.

I really gave it a while before I began posting here, because there were so many threads on this…but each hour that goes by, Half the possible loot for the event is lost, and 3/4 of your shots are Cores are just…gone. When they started debunking Twitter accounts is when I got annoyed enough to start posting opinions in every one of these threads.

Eventually one of the NPC’s, I think it is Kasmeer, should say “I will distract her!” or something, and the shield will drop, takes a while. Alternately, you can use any sort of Immune+Stomp on her, Mist Form works brilliantly for it if you have an Ele.

Everyone is worried about the Power Cores, the Champ Boxes are really neither here nor there since you can get 3x as many by doing the FGS Champtrain.

And yeah, it is really being ignored….even if they were working on a fix, you would think they would at least say “Hey guys, calm down, we have seen the 8 threads!”

Hey, the 5th or 6th thread on this! Not criticizing you at all, just posting in solidarity essentially because Anet is being tightlipped about this, and the more threads that get made with more responses the better.

I know that Anet has a large team, and everyone has their own specific tasks to do…and this problem may be being solved as I type this…but,

Does anyone else feel moderately annoyed, or even insulted, that there has been Three Dev posts about the fake Twitter accounts, and not a Single post about this?

@nikko – 6/10, decent color scheme, put together well, just rather bland overall. Wish I could say more about it, but there isn’t much there to comment on.

Stuck at 12/13 – Wrote down each one I did, and when I hit 13…no achievement.

Only issue I can think of is I got DC’d right as Scarlet died in Gendarran Fields, and did not get credit for completion of the event (no rewards when I logged back in). Since then I have redone the zone, and I did not check my tracker to see if it moved (still had a couple other zones left when I redid it).

Currently remaking my list, if I hit 13 Again, I guess I will submit a bug ticket.

Re: Request for hints.
If you have a Necro, it is incredibly simple, in fact, I farmed him for a while with 3 gambits because I was bored with Deadeye.

20/0/20/30*/0 – Spiteful Spirit (optional), Training of the Master, Minion Master, Flesh of the Master, Bloodthirst, Vampiric Precision (optional), Vampiric Master (The Key)
*30 in blood is optional, but quite helpful.

I did it as condition, since my power set is Zerker, and my condition set has Toughness. Essentially, you just summon every pet you can, and go to town on him. Your pets heal you through pretty much anything the two can dish out, so long as you don’t let the dog eat more than a few bits of meat. Works pretty well on all the bosses actually (except Deadeye, the pets suicide), since the bosses aggro-stick on you the whole fight.

Edit: This is not entirely my idea, though I changed it a bit for my personal tastes. The original …author? made a video using axes iirc, but I can’t seem to find it.

Gemshop Idea: Character Event/Holiday Skins

in Suggestions

Posted by: Kyvia.5961

Kyvia.5961

So, this is an idea taken from browser games, which I have never seen in an MMO (if anyone in the community has seen it, feel free to let me know, always happy to learn new stuff), but I feel the concept would fit in well with Guild Wars 2.

The idea is relatively simple, and could be a lot of fun, both for the community, and the developers. Basically, for events, Anet could release actual Skins for the characters themselves, which would permanently replace their normal skin tone and fur color.

Say for Halloween, one year they could have some form of Zombie epidemic hit, released by the Mad King, and during the event players could buy the Boxes/BLC’s in order to get a chance at a rare skin which would make the players body pale, their eyes blackened and sunken looking, and perhaps with visible bite marks and blood on them. For Charr, their fur could turn whiteish in spots and have blood on the tips around where the “bites” would be.

This could also work in Living Story events, where say Elementals are involved, and the skin could either be a Gift for helping them, or a Curse from fighting them. Fire scalded people could gain red rings around their eyes, and have flame veins along their arms and legs. Lightning scorched would look similar, but with a blue and white scheme. Earth bound players could get a brownish cast to their skin, and have a pebbled look to their hands and feet. For Charr, their fur could gain tips or hints of red and yellow for Fire, blue and white for Lightning, and…well, I am sure the designers would come up with something cool for Earth.

The skins could either be one time use items which could be removed with a total makeover kit, if the items were relatively easy to obtain, or they could be an infinite use item which could reskin the character if they ever decided they wanted it back after a total makeover if they were very hard to obtain. (Mixing the two seems like it might be a bad idea, but eh, I am no developer).

Anyway, it is just an idea, which I think would be cool, and could add some decent diversity to players. I did a search on the forum to see if it had been suggested, and it turned up nothing, but the search engine is a little wonky, so if this is a duplicate idea, just lemme know!

Closest I’ve gotten in a group is 48 in Tier I and II, but we never really tried to make a group to successfully do it, since rewards for silver are less than impressive.

So, I picked up one of the Rare Evon Buttons off the TP, just to see what they did, since Google failed to tell me, and it just seems to be a Permabutton, which is pretty darn cool.

My question is, where do they come from? Is it the Gemstore Bundle?

Dear Anet, Why the convoluted option in trials?

Why on earth could you have not simply had the options
Trials Tier I
Trials Tier II
Trials Tier III
Trials Tier IV
Instead of this whole Kicking it up and down notches, when the dumb NPC seems to randomly pick what notch it was previously on?
I have done them in order, and said “let’s do that again” and gone to the next level, and I have said “let’s kick it up” and gone up two levels on a failed level…please, next time, just make clear simple options.

What New Profession would you design?

So this isn’t completely thought out, the main hands need work, but I think the concept could have promise, and add some variety in combat, especially PVP (Might be overtuned, but meh, this is all a thought exercise anyway!).

I think a rather fun class would be a Psion. They would ignore the body of their victim, or their own for that matter, and focus on the concept of mind over matter. Thus their attacks deal only with the incorporeal, and ignore all armor values, inflicting damage on the body through the mind.

Weapons:
MH:
Dagger: Melee range, ignores armor. Has lower damage than most melee, but slices small amounts of time off boons on their enemies, shortening the duration.
Sword: Melee range, ignores armor. Has lower damage than most melee, but inflicts short stacking Agony upon their victims.
Scepter: 600 range, ignores armor. Standard ranged damage, but it can inflict random conditions on their foes, or random boons.
OH:
Focus only: The focus is the source of a Psion’s mental capacity, and has two abilities.
The first strips all boons from an enemy, and blocks the enemy from gaining each boon type for the intended duration of each boon.
The second strips all conditions from a Psion, and blocks the applications of each condition for the intended duration of each condition.
2H
Staff: The staff is a supreme focus for the Psion’s power, and thus is extremely versatile.
S1: This attack is either 1200 range, or Melee if within striking distance, and ignores armor. At range the staff inflicts Confusion and short bursts of Agony upon their victims, causing them to writhe in pain with each movement, but deals no direct damage. Within melee, the staff causes Crippling visions upon their target, and average direct damage as the mind of their victim is slowly peeled away.
S2: The Psion lies down a vision if intense fear, causing any enemies that get within five yards of it to flee for two seconds. This vision lasts for ten seconds, but each victim becomes immune to the fear after a total of four seconds of fear.
S3: The Psion cages their victim in a prison of their own making, inflicting damage and conditions of them which mirror their own weapons of war. Lasting five seconds, the inflicted suffer random attacks from whatever weapons they are currently wielding, but are immune to any outside damage.
S4: The Psion slams their staff deep within the earth, and brings it to life. A Pillar of shoots up from the earth and carries the Psion above the raging swords of battle for six seconds, allowing them time to collect their thoughts, or unleash hell upon their targets.
S5: The Psion focuses his deepest woes upon the staff, bringing forth dire visions of battles they have endured, blocking out all pain and damage as they unleash a torrent of misery upon their closest enemies. This torrent Cripples, Chills, and Confuses their enemies, and even freezes solid those unwise or unlucky enough to get caught in the full ten second duration.

Utilities would include self buffs, heals in the form of pain mitigation, and the ability to block specific conditions for a very short period of time.

One of their 30pt Elites would be:
Parasitic Invasion: 1200 range. The Psion launches a psychic attack upon their victim, overruling their wishes, and taking control of their enemy. For eight seconds (ten traited) the Psion is vulnerably rooted to their spot, but their target becomes controlled and all of their abilities open to the Psions use as they see fit. Suddenly, in the heat of battle, a comrade in arms turns upon their brethren, and they must decide to put them down, or wait out the onslaught. If an Invaded character is downed when they are infested, they immediately die.

Did a quick google search, because I too would love this color scheme, and it appears to have been from BWE2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzqXLQFcgAs
The comments say the armor changes color based on class, and it is PVP only armor. Though the name is different than the current Flame Legion PVP set, so who knows if it is still in game.
