Guild Wars 2

There is an underwater dragon. That speaks for itself. – This means a deap sea zone, or multple, and another underwater dungeon to slay the dragon. – Underwater combat will be unavoidable in the world of Tyria in the state of War with the Dragons that it’s in.

What’s the latest info that can be safely said about Polymock? I know it’s only a small niche of Players that are interested. But poor Regg has been hammering away at that gate for several months without the aide of his krewe! In his interest, we should definitely get Polymock going soon. (Not to mention the incontinuity of how Polymock was around 255 years ago but is still under construction and not playable today.)

Ah sry. I dunno if it would have worked but it would have been worth the shot to try it.

Have everyone die at the same time. Jump off the center platform.

Has anyone submitted a Support Ticket yet? Forum feeds are often missed by Devs. Support tickets usually have a 48-hour (at max) initial response time. It is through the Support Ticket that they will ask for you to submit your technical reports and information provided by the DxDiag.

(Honestly not trying to troll. Trying to provide the best advice possible, while my responses are bumping the thread to keep it near the top where devs can see it.)

Took a break from WvW and came back to see Ebay mopping the floor with BP and AR. But then we lost Stonemist.

GG Ebay for stepping it up and moving into “unfamiliar territory” – You really showed how we are capable some T1-esque WvW and that we really can have people on all 4 maps at the same time.

GG to AR and BP – your efforts to push back the invasions on your BLs while simultaneously holding an Epic 3way in EB shows prowess. You may not be dominating on all fronts, but you held strong and pushed back just as hard.

GG all. This may just turn out to be one of the best WvW matchups since August if we keep it up.

User testing on a one on one basis with the devs is the best way to see quick fixes.

Remember when Fractals came and the Karka event.? Around that time there was a serious issue with many users that caused us to be kicked over and over every hour or so. (With the upcoming 1-time only Karka Event coming, we needed a fix for these disconnects ASAP.)
It was with the direct support of users willing to submit DxDiag reports, server traceroutes, and settings testing. The combined effort of the Players and the Anet Team with the mountains of data provided from a variety of us on different networks, different locations, routing different pathways, on different stations, on different specs… etc. was what lead directly to us having an answer. Since it was impossible for Anet to test out where the breaks were coming from without testing every single network in every state globally (i use the non-US definition of state).

Testing out different settings and finding out that your shaders (for example) are causing the lockup, will allow the devs to know to look at their shader coding (for purposes of example) and narrow down the results.

This, “the ball is in your park” mentality isn’t going to get you your desired result quickly. While it is their product, it is extremely hard to reproduce the countless billions of software/hardware combinations that the game will ultimately be run on. (That why they do beta-testing and asked for your specs when you run a beta). They can’t foresee all, which is why you’re input could be the most important part of getting a permanent global fix in place.

Do the tests. See. Help. Be part of the solution. You have nothing to lose, and a faster fix to gain. :-)

I didn’t say anything was wrong with your Hardware Specs. I’m saying that a setting or controller in the Software Drivers for you hardware is the most likely cause. Suggesting to test the features of what particular item in graphics is causing the lock up, (shaders or anti-aliasing, etc.) will lead you to what you need to look at in your PC’s Graphic Settings (ie. ATI Catalyst Control or Nvidia Control Panel) to see if it has conflicting settings. In particular ACC and NCP can be set to override your ingame graphics, and also have full-screen filters which may be trying to kick on when loading gw2 in fullscreen. If you re-read my original response, you’ll see that this is what I am saying.

Ehmry bay players. You seriously disappoint. You are better than this. When someone asks for assistance in a wvw map. Dont troll. Come help. We are a server, a united team. So stop acting like a bunch of singular kittens and get out there and fight on ALL the maps. EACH OF THEM. This cannot be stressed enough. STOP FOCUSING ON BP ONLY. Stupid Stupid tactics you people use. No wonder we can’t cap 1 tower for over a month.

FYI good for you. Your server obviously goes to all your borderlands. Mine doesn’t and to transfer will cost me 20$+ or 60g+ in conversion. Same with many other players who will be forever stuck for various reasons. So for those of you who have gotten it as it stands now, (myself included) congratulations. It still needs to be removed as a requirement, or the vistas and pois in borderlands be made accessible from outside the keeps/forts.

i agree this is dumb. no reason one should have to wait weeks and try every reset when their server quite obviously has no interest in that map and thus will never conquer the fort. It gets so bad you wait for the 3rd server to take down the wall and suicide run for your POI. (doesn’t work for vista’s). Borderlands vista’s and pois should be obtainable from outside the forts.

You are missing a waypoint they put in after you 100%ed the zone. Go back to new waypoints added in recent updates.

As Topic says. Requiring all WvW maps for map completion should be removed as it’s near impossible unless you transfer which is 20$USD or more and/or 60+g at today’s rates. Just to get one poi that your server can’t seem to accomplish to take for over 4 weeks while your servers are rank-locked with other servers and are perfectly happy not touching that map at all.

This issue is local to your PC, and possibly other PC’s matching your specs/hardware/software configuration. Some conflict within the settings as it’s trying to render is using 100% of your Computers resources. (If this was not the case, your CTRL+ALT+DELETE key combo combination will interrupt windows like it normally should.)

Test it after you reduce your graphics settings to the lowest settings possible and see if it still happens.

If the issue persists, re-install you graphics driver.
If the issue is resolved, change 1 graphic setting at a time to what you normally like. and retest. Avoid Graphic settings that cause your PC to be overworked.
(Generally your most intense features will be • Shaders/Shadows • Anti-Aliasing • Post Processing Effects. Leave these settings till last when testing whats causing your PC to lock up)
I’m almost 100% certain that it’s your shaders. First thing I’d do is turn them to Low and Off (their lowest settings) and test that setup.

Easy fix. Die after King Toad
This happens because you leave the instance when you are still in “Boss Camera Mode”.
Dieing and spawning at a waypoint (or from the continue room) will prevent this bug from happening.

Ebay players. A stronger presence in AR borderlands is needed. No reason to leave it completely ignored like some red-headed stepchild. BP and AR have been dukin it out in that BL and it really feel like there is a whole 3 players from Ebay there, and 2 of them are there for the skillpoints and their daily’s and have no interest in doing something productively combative for an extended amount of time. Ebayers complaining that they don’t have a challenge? Bah. Go take AR BL and push up to their keep. There is a challenge for you. :-) Heck, BP pushed em back to half in less than an hour or so. Surely Ebay can do better than that. :-)

ACtually, engi would benifit from something other than Pistol and Rifle. Ax or Hammer maybe? Could be interesting.

This threesome has gone on way too long. It’s interfering with Map Completion.

DUAL WEILDING GREATSWORD

Make this specific to Warriors only.

Visually: The 2nd greatsword can sit crossways the opposite direction of the normal setting.

Behaviorwise: Have it act like Theifs skills when detecting the offhand weapons. When equipped with an offhand greatsword, have it switch skills 3 4 and 5 to some new skills that you guys trashed when you narrowed it down to 5 on the warrior during R&D.

If you equip no weapons, you cannot attack.
Your “Auto-Attack/Normal-Attack” will be weapon-skill #1.
You can set this to Auto-Attack (CTRL+RightClick) or repeatedly press 1 to attack.
Otherwise there is no “standard attack” like most games have.
Your only attacks are literally the 5 from weapons, 1 healing, 3 utility, and 1 elite. Beyond that, you can’t so much as punch a mob.

Now that that is cleared up, there are still other factors that would prevent you from using your weapons.

You cannot use any weapon until you have repeatedly used it to unlock all the skills associated with that weapon.
Two-Handers have 5 skills total, 4 to unlock.
One-Handers have 5 skills total, 4 to unlock: 2 in main-hand and 2 in off-hand position.
Off-Handers-Only have 2 skills total, both need unlocked.

At any given time your skills will unlock in order of 1-2-3-4-5. If you equip a sword and a dagger, and unlock all 5 skills (3sword,2dagger) then swap them from mainhand to offhand, you will need to unlock 4 skills again (2dagger,2sword) and will always go 2-3-4-5 in order of unlocking. Now if you switch the sword (now in off-hand) to a pistol, you need to unlock 4 and 5 again (pistol). then if you swap pistol to mainhand and dagger to offhand you need to unlock 2 and 3 (pistol again).
If a weapon has a #1 skill, it will always be unlocked.

You can only use 1 set of weapons up until level 7, then your second set becomes available on swap, and you can use them also as long as you have the skills unlocked.

that would be correct.

The likely scenario is that you missed the box and accidentally dropped it into “the world”, which would create a prompt asking you if you want to delete it. This is really the only prompt you can generate by using any bag.

@ Ayrilana – I’ve completed it. It’s normal when the “Collect the items” event isn’t up. But when the event pops and all the other new mobs are added, there is serious issues with this one.

Guild Rush in Dredgehaunt is too difficult.
• The is a “Collect the item x” Event that spawn many more dredge while you are trying to do it.
• The Dredge themselves are Overpowered.
• Areas are impossible to reach by normal players trying to protect players who are Transformed.
• Dredge Cannons and Dredge spawns give no safe place to drop combat and heal once you get off the ground.
• Dredge interrupt your teleport-web and by the time the 3 second cooldown is off you are dead by them.
• The falling Rocks traps are horrifically placed and do not allow you to escape before killing you. (Knock-blocked till death.)
• The web-clone Cooldown is entirely too long to compensate for all of these factors.

With no native heal, and no ability to drop combat due to cannons and the way too many dredge. This one is pretty much impossible. I’ve never heard more cussing and ragequitting in anything (not even Mad King Clock Tower). All it is from once you pass the first tunnel is “ kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten death.” retry “ kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten death.” retry.

It’s gotten to the point where if we get the Guild Rush in Dredgehaunt, we just wait for it to time out and start a new one.

Please address this asap.

Since you can’t really do anything about the timing of the event and the RNG choice of dredgehaunt, I’d suggest addressing the weaknesses of the Spider form, such as:
• Web-Clone cooldown reduced by 50%
• Spider’s health up 25%
• New Skill [Consume Bug] grants 3 seconds of regeneration (5 uses)
• Web-Teleport, make either un-interruptable, or instantly casting like [BLINK] the mesmer skill.

Any 3 of these 4 changes would sway the Rush from “Nigh Impossible” into the realm of “Difficult but acheiveable working as a team.” Which is what these guild rushes are for.

Thank you for your swift attention to this matter.

Probably been mentioned 1000 times over and over but still not fixed so here we go again.

Citadel of Flames: Heavy and CoF: Medium armor doesn’t re-skin Charr characters to have the obsidian/molten/charred/burnt/flaming skin (hands, legs, and tail) as the CoF: Light does.

Please fix this. Been this way since day 1. We repeatedly ask.

Firstly, the rewards for all dragons are as follows:

• A single reward chest for each time you complete it (repeatable). Spawns in-game.
• A dragon chest (awarded once daily, per dragon). Spawns like a Bonus Chest or Daily/Monthly chests, in your UI.
• Experience, Karma and money based on participation.

I know how it’s supposed to work. They’ve stated it clearly. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s not working. So please only include your input if you are also experiencing this issue, so the Devs can take a look at it.

This is the 3rd time that I have defeated Jormag, present for the entire battle, fighting and rezzing players, damaging Jormag as much as everyone else, yet no chest spawns. I receive a Gold Medal for completing the event, but the chests themselves never come. The in-world chest doesn’t spawn, while it did for others, and the account-bound daily rare chest also did not pop. Yet I received a Gold Medal for completing the event (with the Exp, Karma, and Copper rewarded). Please address this issue. I’d also like to have my chests that are owed to me for doing the events that have bugged. These event’s are already not worth the time, but after doing it repeatedly for no reward….. come’on A-Net.

Yeah I’ve always been a masher. Other games that don’t allow skipping also bother me, not just these 2 items.

Nothing wrong with this behavior. If this is how people want to spend their time, fine. Many players also farm BLC-Keys by rerolling toons to lvl-10 storyline. Again, if this is what they want to dedicate a character slot to and their time, so be it.

Like the topic says. Can we get a Skip button added to the w1z1 starting scene? It’s forever long and even retro games allowed you to mash the A button to speed up the starting scenes. Please make this skippable.

Also, if you could make Moto instant-talkable instead of having to wait for his blather as well, that would be great.

Just a few simple changes that shouldn’t be too hard for you guys but would be greatly appreciated by all of us.

Thank you in advance.

Yes. This happens when leaving the zone in a boss arena. Dieing, or otherwise leaving the Arena will return your camera to normal, then you can leave the zone safely.

Dear A-Net, I’m not sure if you were aware or not, but the Citadel of Flame Dungeon Armor in both the Heavy and Medium weights do not give a charr a flaming tail like the Light set does. This has been happening since launch and we’ve hoped you’d patch it as you did other things but it seems it’s been swept under the rug. I wanted to officially pull it out from under the rug and dust it off, and ask you to please please patch that so that we can get those tails as well. I’m sure it wouldn’t be too difficult for the brilliant minds at A-Net to pull it off rather quickly without issue. Thank you so very much in advance.

After doing pumpkin carver on halloween, i attained the Master Carver title and the acheivement. However, upon checking on my acheivements panel tonight, I noticed that Pumpkin Carver is Empty, showing no acheivement, yet I have retained my title of Master Carver. What is with this?

They still need to bring back the Rich Ori node. The only other one in existance consistantly is in WvW and it’s bugged out.

Been looking at the arena since beta. The asuran has been working on the gate for forever. 255 years of Asuran’s playing polymock and they don’t have an arena?

Just curious. Whats your plans for Polymock release?

Most of the changes you mentioned are excellent and very exciting to look forward to.

All but a few. I’ll mention each seperately and why below.

• “You can no longer able to use the Waypoint if someone in your group inside the dungeon is in combat…” — A different player in my party being in combat should not affect my ability to jump to a repair anvil, and I shouldn’t have to be stuck in a downed state because the rest of my team is still fighting.

• “Reducing AoE effectiveness to bring them in line with the single target damage skills. —-— Major update coming to all the AoE skills – make classes that are good at single target damage stand out a bit more. —-— Same thing with dungeons – right now if you have a lot of AoE you can past encounters by just spamming AoE which is not what we want….” — While I do not entirely disagree, I want to remind you that there were reasons you made AoE as powerful as it is. And while there is room to tone it down a bit, don’t nerf it too hard or you will just need to bring it back up. There is a reason Ele has very powerful AoE. Try not to forget those reasons while you make your adjustments.

MAJOR ONE HERE

• “Same thing with dungeons – right now if you have a lot of AoE you can past encounters by just spamming AoE which is not what we want….” — We as players should be able to strategize how we want to play. If we want to kite the Troll to Kholer as part of our strategy, nothing wrong with thinking outside the box. Why do you think we used Native Americans to send messages during World Wars? Tactics like Hammer and Anvil. We are strategists. If we wanna run passed Kholer and not open the waypoint, let us, we at that point have to run passed him everytime we go hard-down. If it’s something the party is willing to do and deal with, then sobeit. Thats the pleasure of being able to strategize and optimize your time/effort based on the group. --- That being said, if its an obvious exploit, then by all means fix it. —- But if its an Outside-the-Box, unconventional, unanticipated method, then give us Kudos for finding a strategy and allow us to do it. It’s only bad when it become detrimental to the experience. Example, a 20 minute COF run, is still a challenge, without being a 1-hour knockdown, dragout fight. And nothing is exploited. Sure you can run passed some groups, you don’t get the karma or exp or loot for it, and you gotta do it again if you go hard-down, if thats a consequence the group wants to deal with, why not?. This is especially true if you make the waypoint-combat change. You’ll see a lot less dungeon participation if you force us to do Every Single Event along the way and make each dungeon an hour long experience. Just because you didn’t anticipate the way we players took to your content, doesn’t make it immediately wrong (unless its a drastic exploit). Skipping a few mobs in a dungeon shouldn’t be a big deal. Again, especially with this Waypoint change in dungeons. You guys already have Fractals to be the Extra-Difficult-Challenging dungeons.

Just some thoughts to keep in mind. Definitely not knocking you guys. Like I said, most of the changes you mentioned during GW2 Dev Livestream Jan 17 2013 is truelly exciting. Just looks a little like the left hand and right hand aren’t communicating. So just a little feedback. Anyone else can feel free to chime in.

If you weren’t present for the Dev Livestream, a transcipt can be found here .

This is some basic Client Repair and Troubleshooting notes. I had an Issue for the Karka Event but the same steps would apply to repairing your Game Cleint and troubleshooting connectivity.

Necrid.2705:

Still having this issue more and more. So far I have run the GameAdvisor, read that report, nothing really there to see, did GW2.exe -diag, same thing, so this morning I did GW2.exe -repair, and then i ran the client as GW2.exe /clientport 80 for the Ancient Karka Event and I stayed logged in through it. I am currently going to try running the game still until I get kicked again. If you want to try what I did then follow these steps.

Show Spoiler

hide spoiler

1) Copy your Guild War 2 shortcut on your desktop – right-click on it, select copy.
2) Paste it twice on the desktop, creating Copy and Copy (1) or something similiar. – Right click a blank area on desktop and select Paste, repeat.
3) Name them. – Name one GW Repair, and name the other GW Port Test.
4) Open each ones’ properties – Right-click, select properties, do on each.
5) Change the settings – Under the shortcut Tab – Where it says Target – It should say something like [“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” ] (without the brackets.)
5.1)on GW Repair make it say [“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -repair ] by adding a space a minus-sign and the word. – Hit apply and save and close.
5.2)on GW Port Test make it say [“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” /clientport 80 ] by adding a space a slash and the word a space and the number. – Hit apply and save and close.
6) Run GW2 Repair – the launcher will load, check your files, and correct any issues.
7) Run GW Port Test as your active client until you get booted (the stage I am at).

Remember, this is assuming the error is on our end.

If any of you have support tickets out, you can do one [“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -diag ] and save that text file and upload it to your support tickets if you haven’t been directed to yet. If there is a common facter, ANet can find it with these reports.

Collectively, yes.

Other players are entitled to their opinion, Necrid. Just because they happen to oppose your own doesn’t mean they cannot and shouldn’t contribute to this discussion. Believe it or not, these forums are not here just to validate your point of view.

You, and many others, can express their disappointment with the Wintersday event. That doesn’t make it a bad or failed event. Many others have enjoyed and are happy with the event.

The fact remains that Anet implemented a system that relies on an amount of player control which is out of their hands. These kinds of systems always provide the most dynamic and emergent gameplay trends. Personally, I prefer fresh and interesting ways of interacting with a living, evolving game rather than something static, and predictable which leads to a boring and lifeless game.

I believe that certain RNG can be too influential on the overall effort/risk vs. reward, but you’ve basically stated you want all the rewards from this event with less effort/risk. There’s still 2 weeks to go but apparently you’ve done everything you can from this event.

And before you start complaining about people bashing on you, take a moment to stop bashing on us yourself.

I have yet to call out a single person and say that they were wrong, or that something is wrong with their head, or that they are insane, or that they are a fool, or that they don’t understand life. So don’t justify their actions and say I am doing the same thing. Reread the thread if you don’t beleive me.

I’m never said they had to agree, I only said they need to contribute and not just troll/bash.

Clearly you are missing the point and will not understand. If all you’re going to do is call me a fool then eff you. You may not have wanted the rewards, you may not have wanted the tonics. Good for you. Fact is, I did, I do, and their broken system has WAY TOO HIGH of a failure rate for HOLIDAY ACCOUNT BOUND ITEMS. *I repeat yet again, I don’t want it to be free or zero effort. And again I will also repeat, this only applies to the holiday account bound items and the RNG rates and loot tables for those items, either in the forge or in the box, are stupidly low success/drop rates. For a timed, non-repeating event, it is entirely too low.

There is no reason it should be this designed this low. Period. If you disagree then you simply do not see or were not personally affected like the rest of us were. Just cuz you lucked out or didn’t want something fine. I do, and its broken. Now, if you fanboys will excuse me, I’m trying to have a creative thread here where other players who feel the drop rate is too low can chime in and we can get Anets attention to have this looked at. Without all your fanboy cheering and your name calling. If you disagree with my opinion, oh well. No need for your trolling comments and general rudeness. Close the thread and move on. SImple as that. Fact is: There are PLENTY of people who share my feelings on this matter, and those people are who this thread is for. If you don’t like it, there is a neato little X button in the corner you can click on. Use it.

Glad some people are actually seeing the point of this thread instead of making it a fanboy vs freebie-wanting-hater thread. Kudos to you on your very well-put input. I (quite obviously) could not have said it better.

figgin Epic. +1Million. These toys have been a plague on me since day one. And I honestly laughed extremely loud at this. Kudos for creativity.

The people who got screwed (I assume you mean, lost a significant amount of gold gambling for items X or Y) have only themselves to blame. If you can’t afford to lose money then perhaps you shouldn’t be risking it. Who’s to blame for someone who throws and loses 200g into the mystic forge hoping to get a precursor? Arenanet? Give me a break. Everyone has the same odds, and these are calculated risks that the players who choose to partake in these chances, completely own.

This, x100.

It’s your choice to spend 2000+Gems and 28+ gold in mats, ANet’s not forcing you.

Your wrong, they did. This is how they capitalized on Collectors. They specifically designed the system to do exactly this. By design. Thus they forced me to. They understand the drive behind a collector and his game. You do not. There is absolutely ZERO reason for failure rates this high on a Holiday Event Account Bound Item.

Anet has been asked for the failure rate. They will not state it, only go as far as saying that the wiki info is incorrect. They designed these “loot tables” to have exponentially low chances of getting what you want.

I never said anything about Precursor….. Thats a worthy Item, and its Sellable…

The ridiculous failure rates mentioned are for Account Bound, purely cosmetic items.

There is NO Reason players have to lose 2000+Gems and 28+ gold in mats, to wind up with practically nothing for a HOLIDAY ACCOUNTBOUND ITEM.

Im not asking for Entire Game changes. Leave your assumptions at the door. Read the text. Anything that can be sold to other players is fine how it is. But my account shouldn’t be completely gutted for my shot at getting an account bound item. Thats the failure rate thats too high.

MrMacAndCheese.3907:

Necrid.2705:

BWAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

shhhhh…..

MrMac – I am intitled to my opinion. I can post what I want. I can feel how I want. Do not quote me and change my quote. If you don’t like my post, ignore it. Simple as that. Keep your fanboy rudeness out of here.

Everyone keeps assuming this is wanted for free.

Before anyone posts further about wanting it free read this: NOT ONCE HAS ANYTHING BEEN ASKED FOR FOR FREE. EVERYTHING IN THIS THREAD HAS ASKED FOR A REDUCTION ON FAILURE RATES FOR ITEMS AND THE ABILITY TO GET WHAT YOU WANTED THROUGH MEANS OF EFFORT IN GRINDING AND NOT BEING LIMITED TO PUTTING GOLD OR CASH INTO MORE GEMS AFTER ALREADY PURCHASING 2000 GEMS THROUGH MEANS AND GETTING ABSOLUTELY JACK FROM IT FROM RNG

Stop your assumptions at the door.

Not once was it ever stated that we wanted to just log in and get everything.

The event had a ridiculous amount of failure rate for everything in it except for 1 thing, the in-game item that they set a limit on, again forcing you to use more Gold or Cash which goes 100% against what Anet’s promise to be for “all players”.

They took advantage of certain types of players, collectors, and capitalized on their need/drive to unlock/obtain a certain collection, be it Mini’s or Tonics or whatever they were after, Anet contrived the entire system to drive money into their coffers at the cost of showing their player community how they truely feel about them. We are dollarsigns to them, nothing more. This event proved it.

They made Millions of dollars on this event. Millions. They will make Millions on January’s, and Millions on February’s as well. The amount that they screwed us on this event is wholly unjustified. And there is NO defending their actions. Period. They screwed us. Plain as simple. You cannot deny it. Look at any thread in the Wintersday forum.

People got either VERY lucky, or they were screwed hard.

You fanboys who dropped a measly 10$ in gems and got all that you wanted,
GOOD FOR YOU. CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING THE 1%

The other 99% of us, got screwd. Simple as that.

This is on Anet. The whole event. They are going to become very familiar with the phrase : You made your bed, now sleep in it.

19 attempts for griffon tonic…. 5 attempts for all others… Failure rate is too high
No Mats, no money for mats since spending on wasted mats, prices through the roof, and now this lovely gift of more Cogs when we were told as a comunity that none more were coming. Anet has seriously dropped the ball over and over and over on this event.

And now after the fact, another 250 Cogs… Failure rate for everything still blows. Anet, if you’re going to make changes mid-event… Fix whats broken… Dont throw out more Drug Dealer Tactics…. its now 3 gold PER ATTEMPT for endless tonics and now your giving out another 250 cogs after telling us all we wont get more…. Seriously Anet, Seriously? Just another Drug-Dealer tactic….. Lets do the math… if 2 million players are on this event. and 25% are willing to spend 20$ on gems, that is a 10million dollar windfall for 1 event. And yet still you are screwing us? When is enough, enough? You have enormous updates for January and February coming up, if applying that same math, thats another 20 mill in your pockets. And yet still you drive 90% of everything to RNG. You will now have less than that 25% willing in future events from burning them on RNG boxes and ridiculous failure rates for the tonics. Seriously Anet?

28 Gold down the drain……. 48 Griffon Tonics thats 19 attempts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANET WTF

put all my gold and mats into tonics. got about 20 of each before i realized the epic fail rate and went for endless griffon alone.. so now I’m broke, sitting on a bunch of frames, and am not putting another 3 gold into a few more attempts. The random chance was barely minimal. Just another way for us to be screwed by RNG.
