Same here, emailed support to see if they could help, told me to get lost.
Not suprising. Having bad luck with RNG is not a job for the support.
Are you looting all 4 chests per week (1 from rabkittenallenge and 3 from maze)?
You keep them. For easy access just keep the “Annotated Tiger Training Guide”
There is no half way to meet at. Raids are a thing, people who play casually can and probably do, do them. I don’t, I also don’t sPvP so no leg back (not missing it). Get over it please.
This. Compromises are for weak people. All or nothing is the way to go. Raids are too easy already compared to other games, people who cannot beat them are most likely just too lazy.
Also most raiders do not care about the story at all, it is just a nice detail for the the raid encounters to make “sense”. Story was never the strong point about GW2 anyway, there are dozens of games with far superior story, both in quality and quantity of story.

I agree, they have the difficulty I would expect from dungeons. They should get harder mechanics and less lenient enrage timers.
I have other areas where I am more unlucky with RNG such as precursors (2 drops in 11k+ hours) and tequatl hoards (2 in minimum 500 kills, I stopped counting). While this is unfortunate, it makes looting more interesting because you never know when you get lucky again.
I think it is out of place to complain about te RNG for Bloodstone-Infused-Ectoplasm after merley 3 weeks. If you still do not have it after 3 months of trying all 4 chests you might get my sympathy.

RNG makes loot meaningful and interesting. I find token systems and guranteed rewards very boring.
I think the droprate is fine. Got it on 2 accounts on first chest.
I have opened all chests for 3 weeks with no luck and the same has happened to a friend, so not all people is as lucky as you.
Law of large numbers dictates that there will be outliers in both directions, but the majority of players will get it quick enough
Even in big guilds there is to my experience only like 10 people who pay for 90% of the costs of upgrading the guild hall, so not much difference to small guilds. Small guilds probably just have fewer generous members
The price is perfectly fine. It only costs less than 20k gold to upgrade the guild hall to the maximum, that is less than a legendary even for a small 10 man guild. And chances are small guilds do not need everything maxed out.

The minimum Anet should do is to prevent people from loosing pips if you are matched with teams who have a high probability to win, similar to season 1.
People never ask me for LI or other proofs when I try to join groups, maybe you need more AP
This season was stuff made out of nightmares for me. Much worse than season 2 and 1. Season 1 best season.
46,3% winrate
And while we are at it dont put duoQ, triQ or quadQ people into my team.
Just had a triQ from a WvW guild in my team and they were so horrible that we lost 11:624 against 5 diamond soloQ players. Having to play with these players is quite frankly unacceptable.
Just because they are legendary division doesn’t mean they all act the same.
They dont, but the game puts people with similar MMR into a group. And the people who throw games all the time will have more likely lower MMR than the legendaries who try to win. So the diamond people have those “i throw for fun or when i feel like it” people in team
yea let’s put them on the enemy team instead, then they’ll tryhard for sure
Banning them from ranked matches completly if they troll matches (this is in real need of a seperate report category, I dont have the feeling that reporting them for botting as a dev suggested works at all) all the time would be fine by me, too.
But not putting any legendaries in my team would be easier to manage for Anet.
Stop putting legendaries in my team. They very often throw matches at their earliest convenience aka first fight loss or straight up troll and do useless stuff.
Just know for example I had a legendary div warrior on my team who had no armor equipped (yes you need chest, legs and boots equipped in pvp and no broken armor parts). He also had a very kittenty build and did stupid stuff all the time and made fun of us with /laugh emotes.
Things like this happen all the time if you have legendaries in your team because they have nothing to loose anymore and make the life of diamond players who are close to legendary miserable.
My “queue dodge” list is getting longer and longer just to avoid the worst offenders.
Making the game even more simplified? What could possibly go wrong lol
Just had full premade with 4 legendaries and 1 diamond vs 4 diamonds and 1 legendary, 2 diamonds and 1 legendary were in a party but that triQ was pretty useless (the legendary was on my blocklist for being useless already, so I wasnt suprised)
Yet ANOTHER reason to bring Solo Q back!
Diamond is a rollercoaster for me. I went from 0 to 24 pips to 6 pips to 25 pips to 17 pips to 30 pips and atm I am back to 24 already. Most of the matchups are really bad and just make me hate pvp.
Most of the bad matchups are caused by people teaming up with people of vastly different skill levels but thanks to Anets mechanics all get counted as equally skilled.
The matchmaking in diamond, especial high pip diamond is pretty much unacceptable bad. Anet should feel ashamed of releasing this garbage to the public.
Raids are not meant to be pugged, so you have no right to complain if you are unable (doesnt matter what reason) to make a static group or find a raid guild. Every raid boss kill you get while pugging should be just considered a nice bonus.
Oh really? Either you are right and Anet is wrong or Anet is right and you are wrong.
If raids aren’t meant to be pugged. Whats this? Looks like something design just for pugging. go figure.
That was added after raids got introduced because people abused other categories as a raid lfg.

I can see an “Avoid this player” feature work if the list is limited to 5-10 players. And if queue time is greater than 5-10min it will be ignored.
Just delete the GW2 folder, the folder in AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2 and the link to gw2.exe
Works just as fine as uninstall.
your definition of success is different from mine.to me success is doing your best with what you got.and if your happy with 150 insights good for you,seems thats what we got.
but since i come on this forum as a means of communicating my dissatisfaction to anet how you feel about it is irrelevant.Anet stated that the number of insights needed would be balanced around players who played regularly and successfully. Since they set it at 150 insights total for all six pieces of legendary armor, that would imply every week and clearing the available wing(s). It obviously does not mean clear only those bosses which you’re capable of clearing.
I am free to disagree with you that there is an issue just as you are free to disagree with me that there isn’t. Neither side’s position is irrelevant.
And it obviously means anet wants us to repeat content long after we beet all the raid bosses and finished the collection for no other real reason but to add artificial life span to that content.
Which MMO gives you the best items for doing something only once? I cannot think of any. There is a finite amount of content in any game and a MMO needs to run for years. So the best stuff will obviously a long time goal in such a genre.
Why do you guys who farm raids feel so special now whwn u have 100+ li ? U do understand no matter what , other players must do collections to so li is just literally pointless grind that would keep them away from more fun things they wish to do in gw2, wvw, pvp maybe , rp ? Those ppl have all right to get armor if they put work to collection and only thing that stops them is pointless grind.
Ps. Just to be clear on one thing most players here , who are fine on 150 li are fine coz they have it or in some cases , sell raids. U can just check them and all is quite clear. Epen thing.
Because the legendary armor collections are pointless. You can do everything in one playthrough of the raid, except gorseval which is time gated for 5 weeks.
You do not need much free time at all if you are decent, like 2-3 hours per week for all 9 bosses. Even the most casual (if you consider casual = players who dont have much time, but can play good anyway) players can manage that.
I feel this topic is going in a circle and not going anywhere :/ Maybe a moderator should consider closing it.
(edited by Malediktus.9250)
Successful is not easiest 5 out of 9. It is 9/9 bosses.
Anyone can do Gorseval, Trio, McLeod, Keep Construct and Vale Guardian with ease.
Well now I got back to 20-25 pip range after some hard work now I keep getting legendaries in my team who afk most of their games, often from start of the match already. Thanks for nothing Anet. PvP in this game is a sad joke.
They should make it 54 LI for each armor weight instead of a standard 150.
You do not want people to build all 3 armor weights at the same time, unless you want the t6 mats to become more expensive
The Gold Sabetha Statue got bugged in a recent patch. The flame thrower no longer has a flame, it no longer has any clipping (you can run through it) and cannot be removed from the guild hall.
I play this game for fun aince beta. I manage to do all ls , jps, liadri, and many many other mods of game. Got even to 25k ap just by having fun. Now , reading some comments here i feel sad to see how inability of some of us to live gw2 should put us down , is sad. But let me ask , what would anyone lose looking at someone else gaining that , something ? Is your legendary less worth to you if you see me having same ? Is your world better if you are one who have everything looking down on others having little to nothing ? Is this game or simulation of rl?
Yes, legendary is worth less if everyone is/has legendary.
Same as real life. If everyone is a millionaire, noone is rich because the money will be worth nothing.
I am player who is really ill rl. I like to play raids but i cant take part to pro raid guild , due to rl “rotation” . I manage to get 3-4 li per week if try hard. Should i also give up on legi armor coz im not capable of following the pace. I wish i could have chance but this number i know is to much for me. Its just how i feel wanted to say , wish u all gl.
I dont think Anet should go to the lowest possible denominator when it comes to legendary items. Besides if you can get only 4 LI (which is basically just the easiest bosses you can do) per week you still have 150 LI after just 37,5 weeks.
so a 9 month time gate is ok.
right.
It is only 9 months for the bad people. I kill all 9 bosses on several accounts because it is so easy compared to raids in other games.

The second boss encounter of the 2nd raid wing is not dropping any trophy items for guild hall statues. This makes no sense whatsoever since it has an unique looking chest statue and the other 8 out of 9 raid boss encounters do have a trophy statue for guild hall.
Giving instructions seems to be pointless, too. Just lost another game because noone even looks what you say in team chat and then there is always someoen suiciding on far. I honestly cant see any difference between saphire and diamond division. People are useless in both.
I am not saying I am playing flawless in any way, but people do too many obvious tactical and strategical mistakes in my MMR range. It is pretty much uncarryable for my skill level if people do such huge mistakes.
I hope it never comes back in the current version. The texture quality is very low compared to other armors
I noticed 3 bugs with the twisted maze in the 3rd raid wing
1) If you fall down and open glider in the last moments before impact you will not die because the bottom is not marked as death zone. Works as a safe spot against reaching 99 stacks of madness, because the madness stacks stop at the bottom of the map for some reason.
2) Mildly Insane achievement bugged: Gets removed when you go downed. Does not get removed if someone in squad reaches 99 stacks.
3) Evasive Maneuver achievement bugged: Gets removed when you go downed. Does not get removed when you get ported by the statue.
As you can see both achievements are currently bugged to being worthless.
Why would I watch twitch if I can just go play myself? If twitch would shutdown tomorrow I would miss absolutly nothing in my life.
Yes, I noticed some legends in enemy team with less than 5min queue times. I thought it was weird because I am so far away from legendary at the moment
The hardest part of the Xera fight is the gliding part. If the fights fails its usually because some (or an essential person) people fall down while gliding.
I’m not so sure Diamond is the only league to suffer from this.
I think the problem is that its too easy to get carried by above average MMR and winstreaks into divisions and tiers you do not belong to. It definitely is much worse than previous seaons.
I think its a pain to play in diamond. If your MMR is average and not good you get brainless people on your team who even do the easiest tasks wrong. It is like playing saphire league. I worked hard to get to 24 pips (took around 150 games from diamond 0 pips) then 1 loss streak ruined it all and now I am stuck between 5 and 10 pips. Almost every loss is the direct result of some brainless person doing very obvious mistakes that can be considered throwing the match.
I like it the way it is. 800 gem outfits are just too cheap to be worth using
Anet always starts a lot of different ideas then abandons them quickly after. This is one of them.
I think the new raid wing is too easy. It took our guild less than a week to basically reach farm status on it. It took several weeks for w1 and 2.
And the achievements are a joke. Wing 1 had the best achievements (because you actually had to do something actively, like never getting hit by a specific attack). Wing 2 was worse because it only had 3 special achievements with 2 of them being trivial. Wing 3 has not a single challenging achievement. And no title to earn.
(edited by Malediktus.9250)
you still made plenty of pip profit
9xW=16 pips
9xL = -9 pips
Chances are slim. Worse than season 1 or 2.
It took me over 150 games (from start of diamond, took me 190 games to diamond) to get 24 pips in diamond, then had a loss streak to 10 pips again because I keep getting the same useless people from my block list on my team and duoQ/triQ/guild teams in opponent teams. The matchmaking is quite stacked and frustrating.
