Oh, for everyone? Hmm..
John Smith, are you aware of the terrible drop rates?
If not:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Change-in-loot-parameters-or-a-bug-Merged/first
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Loot-Drop-Rate-Bug/first
Is it a bug or intended to get people buying more gems with cash?
As we do not have any clarification about the loot issue at the moment, it also could be that a booster is automatically connected to better loot/ drops. Who knows?
But the best thing would be the support ticket. Just to be clear that I don’t want to encourage you to do “illegal” things. (I doubt they would count it that way, but you never know ^^)
They sent out the reward for these people who had trouble with the karka event (like disconnected and did not get the chest) from the final one-time Lost Shore event (~18th Nov).
If you received it although you did not deserve it (e.g. you never participated in this event), you can write to the support team for advice.
How they replied in similar cases (as I remember) you can feel lucky and keep the items, even if you actually did not deserve it. (But I do not guarantee that it is indeed so)
Otherwise you can delete them now and don’t write to the support team.
Or you keep them for yourself, enjoy them and keep quiet about that topic. ;-)
Is Torchlight rewarding and fun?
Look @ the bold… the reason for the delay isn’t to give them extra time to ract, it’s because it causes other issues.
Look here what Jon wrote why the delay is there:
Fyi, the delay on first attack has been present since BWE2. It is there for balance reasons to give enemies a moment to react to the powerful summon.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Phantasms-retested-after-12-3/first
And that doesn’t make a lot of sense for many players/ mesmers.
I also liked to have a build based on keystone signet. Was very fun, too!
Panic xD
That was a really powerful Elite skill.
That’s very weird.
I’ve never heard or seen an enemy following through a portal (or after you ported to another waypoint).
Did you report it ingame?
I was thinking about how did you get away from him after that. As he was following you, how did you manage that he is now hanging around at Stromkarl Waypoint and didn’t follow you again?
How did you get away?
See the new college as a jump into your new life, for whatever reason in your last school that they didn’t want to become friends with you, YOU are now i a very good position to start new friendships more easily.
They don’t know you and you don’t know them, a lot of people are going to that college alone (like you), some with friends from old school, but there is a high chance that they are also looking for new mates.
I never had problems with getting friends, but as I changed to university I did something I didn’t do for a long time. Often I just waited that some people come to me and talk with me. But this time I sat down and had a short glance at the other people and then I decided from my gut instinct who I could like and I just spoke to them. With these two girls I had regular contact through my whole student days. I found a few other one after that, but it really helped a lot that I overcome myself and started to talk.
I’ve read you’ve done that in the past, but I would like to encourage you to keep it trying on your new college. In my opinion your writing sounds nice and surely you are it, too.
There are people out there to be your friends, you just need to discover them (or vice versa).

Did you check the gold, silver, copper thing? You can do that by pressing “i” to open your inventory.
What happens if you check your amount of coin before you participate in an event, then finishing it (check how much you should receive from the event, it is stated below the medal how much you should receive) and then you take a look at your coin amount again. Has it changed?
You will receive it automatically.
And the golden coin symbol (= the medal I mentioned) you were talking about above just says how good you participated in the event (there are three symbols, they differ in their color: gold (very good), silver (good), copper (still good)), for the case you did nothing, there won’t pop up a symbol to show your participation and you won’t receive a reward. (I know that’s not happening here, just for completion)
Yeah, but it would be great if Jon Peters could reply once more that he received the links which provides him with data for the berserker damage before and after the November 15th patch.
There is a difference!! And if he does not have data, he can look into the several threads, where we described what changed.
If he does not have enough time to read it (I would really appreciate if he reads these threads by himself to get a better picture what is going on..) than I would be happy to shorten these threads to a data list or whatever could be useful for him.
But right now we only now they will do something e.g. for the delay, but the last statement from Jon about the damage of the berserker was that there is empirically no less damage and that is NOT true. (And yeah, he said they want up the damage, but there is a huge difference in damage and not just a little bit..)
(edited by Navi.7142)
Yeah, and “i” is for “illusions/ illusionary”. I did not get that a few month ago and thought it would have been there, because of the coolness like in iPhone or whatever.. xD
See the positive side, they gave us more time to spend with family and friends instead of playing gw2. :p
Just joking..
Clark, that could be, but how to prove? We are not able to just look into it again and have a check what has been there or not ^^
However I read a nice theory how they intentionally nerfed the loot and it ended up with a guess it should be back to “normal” after Winterdays event. Could sound a little conspiratorially, but who knows and cares..
The problem is… I do not find the thread again.. xD
Oh. lol xD
So there was this “official statement” long time ago?
Hmmmm… it’s a bug, it’s a bug, it’s a bug.
:-D
I don’t like to gather that many hooves or porous bones which they give me.. and the broken keys.. noooooooo!
It has to stop, yet I am not sure how we can achieve to get them communicating with us.
I like purple and I like butterflies.
There was another thread which disappeared yesterday. It contained the same topic and that a lot of players felt loot reduction instead of improvement and drop increase.
I could not read it again (because I was sleeping as the thread disappeared magically), but I was informed that there was an “official” statement saying the loot/ drops were accidentally reduced than increased after the patch.Well, as there is no option to have a look into the thread and that statement (it is not just closed and neither did I receive a message that it would have been merged into another thread nor can I find my post listed under my message overview in my profile), I am just wondering, if they really messed up with the loot, someone came and said “Yes, we did that.” and wasn’t supposed to do that and so the other thread vanished into thin air..
No, it hasn’t been merged into that one. It existed days before they created that one (this thread here was created around Nov 23th?).
All the posts in the old thread are missing.
However, it’s just confusing (for me) why that was be done. You could be right, but maybe it was.. oh.lol. I didn’t mention what someone told me after the thread disappeared.. I think I’ll quote me.. that could have been the reason for vanishing it…
(edited by Navi.7142)
And your point talking about that in this special thread was…? (Did you want to start a discussion or conversation about it?)
It is offtopic and not contributing to the bug issue.
maybe they want you to buy repair canisters? :p just joking..
I’ll hop to Orr and have a look if I can confirm that.
Any special camp to look for?
(edited by Navi.7142)
I am still wondering where the very first thread about loot/ drop rate went.
As soon as the November patch went live people discovered what was and still is happening and someone created a thread. I posted in it and after a few hours it magically disappeared. It wasn’t merged or moved to another forum (Because you are notified if they do that and you can still see your post listed in “see all messages”, but it pretended I would have never written my post in that thread.).
It just vanished into thin air.
So what did happen to that thread? Why was it moved?
As I remember no one wrote anything that could have led to a closed – not to mention to a completely removed – thread.
After that, there was another thread in the bug forum which they moved to the technical forum. Why?
And then this one (wasn’t it in the technical forum for a short time, too?) and they finally merged it to one thread and kept it here in the discussion forum.
For me it’s interesting, why moving and confusing that much with threads containing that issue which is – unless stated otherwise – a bug. A massive bug.
By the way, it is no criticism on mods, I like them. <3

Are you thinking of buying gems? (not gold)
I would buy gems with my cash if there would be anything interesting and reasonable priced in the gem shop. (For example: special minipets (not random! and not to have a chance to get one if I buy keys…. another thing I would love to spend money would be costumes like they had in gw, I bought nearly every costume in gw, until now I did not buy a single one in GW2.. and so on)
I will definitely not buy any gems due to decreased loot.
I am not sure why anyone would do that?
If they don’t want me to play the game (which includes having fun and that includes getting appropriate rewards/ loot/ drops etc.), what am I supposed to do then?
-> No, I am not talking about leaving, but it is really a pain how the game experience changed since the November patch (and as a main mesmer again since the last patch).
It’s not fun. It’s not rewarding. (For me!)
I prefer pve, but do they want me to do fractals or a lot of dungeons again and again for appropriate loot? O.o
And staying more ontopic:
Loot in pve is as bad as every day since the November patch.
You can keep your porous bones or hooves. I want to see a rare again.. yeah the yellow ones.. not the greens which now should be named “rares”.
(edited by Navi.7142)
Yeah, but they pay more attention to other forums than to this one.
And the communication in the bug forum is quite good (especially compared to other forums).
Do you have also 1330 Condition Damage with your underwater gear?
Is there any condition damage or any traits (which influences condition damage) depending on your weapon? How about the breather?
Maybe I am totally wrong, but that came to my mind after reading your text. ^^
Or do you mean you have 1330 and it should hit for 990, but it does not?
Could someone please communicate with us?
Ignoring is the worst you can do.
This is a massive problem and for many players a game breaking issue.
Just have a look here where we described what happened to loot since the November patch: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Change-in-loot-parameters-or-a-bug-Merged/first
I think the main problem is that it is out of anets sight (or of range xD) in this forum.
We should also keep talking about it in the bug forum where it belongs to as long as they do not state “it is not a bug”.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Loot-Drop-Rate-Bug/page/2#post928424
One sunspear armor for heroes left, if anyone is interested.
Weird.
But thanks anyway for your reply.
I have another question. I have equipped scepter and dagger and I am attuned to air.
When I use skill number 5 (Updraft) it rolls me quite a few meters back.. in my opinion that’s not very helpful because I am activating it to run faster forwards, not to be pushed back (looks like a dodge backwards) and then run to where I stand before and after that I am able to use it as I wanted it.
Instead of 10,5 seconds I am able to run faster for around 8s due to its countdown by activating.
Is that working as intended? If yes there is a lack in description and it should be added that it pushes you back before you are able to run faster.

- Gizz
- GiizmI would advise against those names if only because if ever pronounced with a soft G, may not be very flattering.
IMO, you don’t need a double letter in the name to be Asuran. If the name is available then sure but no ones going to pronounce a double letter anyway.
lol, yeah you are right. as a german I didn’t try to pronounce it with a soft G
… :-D
I whispered you right now in GW2..
I would sell it.
Could be that they increase the drop rate anytime soon.
Otherwise you can keep it and look whether the price increases. And in case that the price would drop you can still use it for yourself.
How is your ingame name in gw?
Hey, we get it that the minions are buggy, too. Really.
And I also have a necro who suffers from that.
But that has nothing to do with the mesmer problems and that we finally got attention to that really massively broken class.
A necro has a lot of possibilities to play without using the bugged minions, but a mesmer is more restricted in that area, because phantasms/ shatter are his core mechanic. It is way more difficult to play without phantasms and stay competitive (or whatever) than play without minions.
Anyway, that thread isn’t the best place to talk about that.
May bf and me play two (really cute and crazy) asura elementalists which we named Naaarp (mine, female asura) and Yaaarp (his, male asura).
His second asura, a male warrior, was named Glebb. He tried a lot other names before, until he found one, that wasn’t taken.
If you like Gizmo, but the name is taken, you can adapt it to:
- Gizzmo
- Gizz
- Giizm
- and so on
Personally, I don’t like surnames for asura. Doesn’t feel right, for me.
So, you need to go to Lion’s Arch and do the quest “What Lies Beneath” which will lead you to eotn.

Here is another solution to get three more points: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Can-anyone-help-me-get-3-hom-points-in-gw1/first#post902538
To set up, you need to be level 10 to go to the eye of north.. as I remember it.. but I just log in to have a look.
Maybe you want to join this thread? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/GW1-Hall-of-Monuments-and-GW2-rewards/first#post917806
Yeah, sounds good for you. And if mobs in pve also are able to distinguish me from my phantasms by the star, they should remove it there, too. (Which leads to the point to make the star display optional.)
I am not sure how it works, but as I nearly only play pve I don’t want an AI that can see who the real mesmer is. ^^
So studying it here empirically we think berserker is just missing and not less damage, but that duelist was actually impacted by the “bladetrail” bug fix. I will try and up the duelist damage and I will try and track down why berserker is not always hitting.
It is both. Missing AND less damage. Please have a look into the posted links on page 2. A lot of players described immediately (including BEFORE and AFTER data) what happened after the 15th November patch came and broke the berserker. And not only him, other phantasms are suffering same/ similar/ other problems.
I experienced it, too.
We want to do that in group modus. But Tonn doesn’t want to talk to us :-(
We are stuck and cannot progress our personal storyline since we experienced it nearly a month ago.
We are two norn, level 80. Do you need more information?
Did you look into this issue yet?
I would suggest that you indeed play a thief or guardian (in pve). Maybe you judge otherwise after trying them out.
Hmm, or are you talking about pvp?
