Guild Wars 2

The answer is “NO”. Effects are based on skin not rarity. So you can transmutate other stats to legendary skin but legendary transmutation is still broken despite the patch notes. There is no 100% guaranty that it’s still be legendary and will be updated to accended stats in future. So just sit and wait for fix and confirmation.

Raiga.4508:

What causes the problem ? How can it be fixed ? What can you do about that ?

It’s the game engine problem.
It can be fixed by ANet’s game engine programmers
You can do nothing here. Just wait for the fix.

1) MF does NOT affect chests. Nothing affects it.
2) MF just increase you chance to get BETTER loot from mobs. BTW there are rumors that drop is broken somehow since November patch…
3) No.

Oh come on… It’s been discussed over9000 times already.

You CAN change sigil in your legendary.
It DOES NOT AFFECT your weapon legendary rarity.

Your weapon still will be legendary -> its stats will be boosted to accended.

1. Yes. For now. Legendary stats will be boosted to accended once accended weapons will be added into the game.

2. Yes, it’s true.

3. You will lose legendary rarity of the item. ANet is going to fix this issue in future.

4. Appearence and prestige.

Have you heard about crafting and Trading Post?

So market manipulators will no longer afraid of SH and can start another wave of prices bumping… ANet must do something with it ASAP. Atleast significantly increase a chance to get precursor from chests/MF.

But let’s be realistic. It’s not going to happen…

Was discussed over9000 times.

1. Yes you can swap sigil on your legendary. There is no way for sigil to change the rarity of your item.

2. And yes, you can put Twilight with any sigil in MF to make Eternity.

P.S. Congratulations

Vinny.6924:

First: In you opinions, should I wait for this scavenger hunt to get my precursor? Dusk is super expensive but at the same time it could be an indefinite amount of time before its implemented.

It’s up to you. Really. If your time worth more than your money then just buy Dusk and make your Twilight. It’s my case actually. If you are ready to wait for weeks or probably months for SH then ok, you can wait. But keep in mind that ANet isn’t going to make precursor easier to get. Thay just want you to feel the progress. So SH most likely will be hard enough to complete. It will probably take weeks or even months to get your precursor via SH.

Vinny.6924:

Second: Should I sell Twilight when i make it? The amount made off selling a legendary is enough gold for me to make 2 more just buying mats. Skill points and Karma being the only issue.

Again it’s up to you. Selling legendary on TP is expensive (due to listing fee) and a big risk in general. Not many ppl are able to buy item for few k gold. Also you can always be trolled by other ppl who can portentially sell their legendary for 1 less gold price.

Draymos.5489:

In character equipment screen it appears as sunrise. I like the sunrise too but it might be a bug that is stopping my legendary from counting as legendary on logon screen.

Please check this out. I would love my legendary to actually count as legendary with legendary badge.

These are bugs. I’ve seen official response from ANet about it. They will fix them in future.

Obviously it’s not a game breaker bugs so they are low priority.

Gravity.2691:

Does anyone know of a way of getting different stats on the legendary items without breaking the legendary status?

There is no such a way a.t.m.

Gravity.2691:

ANet, are you going to allow us to choose the stats on our legendary weapons?

Obviously ANet isn’t going this way. The latest official answer from them was “we currently have a programmer looking through the issue”.

I think they will change transmutation process a bit to avoid such situations in future. Currently the rarity of output item is based on it’s stats. So if you transmutate stats from exotic, the item will be exotic. A simple fix they can do is to keep highest rarity.

Also I doubt they will fix already transmutated legendaries automatically. It will be probably done by player request through support.

Obly.9243:

Well be in the next major patch: Also with able to accept lower level fractal players into higher level fractal runs.

Do you really think I don’t know it?..
Fractal is a dungeon. You can reconnect to your party in any dungeon but fractal. They plan to fix this the most annoying issue in next major patch. After 2 months.

Two months.

No words.

AlexDelux.4053:

Sometimes your charachter keeps running like it has auto-run (and I’m sure I didn’t push the button accidentally) for about 3-4 seconds.
I don’t think it’s a lag issue because I have no problems in crowed areas like group events in Orr and this happens basically every time I do fractals and not just to me, but to the other players as well.
This can be very annoying, I died many times because of this, has anybody else experienced this?

I can confirm that. It happent regularly in fractals with my character too.

5. Players should be allowed to reconnect to their party in case of DC/client crash.

P.S. Just got client crash on 4th fractal (lvl 12). Have never seen crashes for last I think 2 months… Thank you very much ANet for my spoiled mood. It’s been almost 2 months and you still “working on the issue”. Great job.

P.P.S. And yes, I know you are really sorry about that.

Do you know any game with such option? Come on, it will never happen.

Malediktus.9250:

PowerCat.5738:

No they’ll have to salvage and build new ones.

I think so, too. Transmuted items turn into a completly new item, I doubt it would be easy for the game to identify and restore them.

It’s pretty easy task. Each skin has some kind of ID. Each legendary skin also has ID. So ANet can just add exception for all legendary skins to keep their legendary rarity even after transmutation.

viperziv.6034:

Hey i wanna change my Dusk’s skin
Will I be able to craft legendary weapon after changing it’s skin?

any idea?

The answer is “No, you won’t be able to use transmutated Dusk to craft your Twilight”.

Just to confirm that.

Malediktus.9250:

Looks like someone is relisting all colossus at around 450g lol. Buy offers still less than 300g.

This is just another fact of precursor prices manipulation by very rich ppl.

bunn.4915:

Dusk now 580g with buy orders at 510g this is a joke now, when are we going to get some news about when the scavenger hunt will be out. It’s been to long now without any update

I doubt SH will be released in January… I think it will be February or even March…
Moreover, remember that precursor is like 25% of legendary. I doubt that ANet plans to make precursor easier to get. They want to make the progress of getting it more visible/fun for players. So I’m 100% sure it will be very complicated task (compared to Gift of Mastery/Fortune/Weapon) which requires a lot of grind, mats and time. We can expect another skyrocket prices for T6 materials and e.t.c. And we still have no ETA for SH.

TBH, I just tired to wait for SH. So I decided to just buy gems, convert them to gold and buy my Dusk on TP. Sure it’s quite expensive way but again – I tired to wait I value my time and the price has been acceptable compared with waiting for weeks for SH and potential grind for weeks/months to get precursor via SH.

Unknown.2796:

Both twilight and sunrise are the same sword, the only difference is the effect template on the sword which shows the sunrise or the night-sky, which will not show in the preview.

It’s no bug, effects just don’t show in previews.

You are wrong. Twilight and Sunrise are different swords with different models. Check the handle – it’s different.

Malediktus.9250:

The colossus went from 330g to 450g in one night. Two weeks ago it was under 200g. This is redicilous.

This is market manipulation mate. Prices will continue to grow. ANet doesn’t see anything bad here. “It’s just how the market works”.

Preview code is correct. It’s a bug related to Twilight preview.
I have Twilight and it previews as Sunrise.

Kacigarka.5176:

20g a day in price increase, what precursor are you talking about, they are relatively stable in prices …
Dusk … http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/29185

So no … the prices are NOT increasing by 20 gold in a day stop making up stuff please

Oh come on… Dusk was ~500g a week ago and it was ~600g today. It’s +20% per week.

The latest offitial response I saw about “legendary transmutation issue” was like “we are not sure if it’s a bug”… Actually it’s not a bug. It’s “by design”. Rarity = stats. If you transmutate exotic skin with masterwork stats you will have masterwork item as a result. But they should add an exception in case of legendary weapons. I believe ANet will fix it in feature.

Stridix.4260:

I wish there is like an Npc that would trade the precursor that ur class needs (since precursor is an extremely rare drop already).

Very strange wish actually. It will never happen.

Letifer.4360:

We wouldn’t need a Scavenger Hunt if they increased the chance to get a precursor from the Mystic Forge (10% chance would be good enough imo) or implement a fixed recipe.

True. And actually both these way are extremely easy to implement in the game.
But they aren’t there. So it means that ANet isn’t going to go these ways.

Forbiddenlove.1784:

I was wondering if there was any news on when that is coming.

We still have no updates from ANet about precursor scavenger hunt and situation with ridiculous prices.

“Thank you for your patience” © ArenaNet.

NateDog.1385:

That silly prereq is holding my legendary up and I am tired of feeding that troll zomeros :’?

Same here.

fellyn.5083:

I have nothing to base this on but it’s likely we’ll see the scavenger hunt in the January update.

I doubt that.

ANet wants some numbers. Ok, here they are.

Before the Lost Shores patch, full MF set + food (150% MF):
- Panitent/Shelter events: 1-3 rares per event in average
- Champions and veterans mostly drop nothing or crap (whites or blues, rarely greens)

After the patch, full MF set + food (150% MF):
- Panitent/Shelter events: 0-1 rares per event in average. Actually last time I did 6 events and got 0 rares.
- Champions and veterans mostly drop crap (whites or blues, rarely greens). Never sow a rare from them. About 100 champions were killed.

So something definitely wrong with drops. Probably DR works incorrect. I don’t really know the reason and don’t want to make any suggestions because we really have no idea how drop mechanic actually works in the game.

I hope devs will figure it out and fix it ASAP.

It’s just ridiculous… Dusk currently costs 535g:
http://cs410617.userapi.com/v410617093/3dc0/1U4KMmb_-lk.jpg

And still no updates from ANet. They just “working” on precursor scavenger hunt and “monitoring” the situation. I see.

I’ve done everything except Dusk for my Twilight. How many months/years should players wait till the real change in the situation?

P.S. Sure I can always buy it for GEMS. Just for ~$450, lol.
P.P.S. There are always a lot of ways to make soulbound or account bound precursors available for players for real ingame achievements. For example 250 tokens from each dungeon to craft two specific gifts, gift of <weapon type> mastery from special NPC (requires appropriate weapon master achievement) and any lvl 80 exotic <weapon type> with specific sigil. Combine it in MF and get you soulbound precursor. Problemo solved.

Just a reminder: precursor is only a part of legendary and shouldn’t be the main “pain in the *”.

And this is probably one time event with valuable reward…

Same here… Great event Anet…

I’m lvl 80. Did 7 champs, opened 7 chests. 0 exotics.
Doesn’t matter full MF set or no MF set. Drop is always the same – crappy greens.
Very nice, ANet. Some get exotic every time and some get nothing.

Dear ANet, please change the way to get Legendary weapons to real challenge not playing stupid games with random. It’s completely unfair when someone gets precursor after his first try and someone can make 1000+ tries and get nothing. Don’t let GW2 be Korean-style game with GREAT KOREAN RANDOM…

Current prices for precursors are unacceptable for the majority of players. We don’t want to grind TP 24/7 to get enough gold and buy precursors for these crazy prices.

The only possible solution here is changing the way to get precursors. Make the challenge. Make it craftable for example (like “250 ectos + 250 T6 type 1 + 250 T6 type 2 + Gift of * = Precursor”). It’s hard enough and w/o stupid random.

All dropped trinkets are soulbound by default. IDK if it’s a bug or by design.

Check you party menu. You should be able to form Squad now.

Got noticeable annoying stuttering on my GTX 580 with 306.97 (clean install of course)… Using 306.23 for now. Will report bug to NVIDIA.

I doubt that Devs will comment it publicly. But obviously some anti-farm code exists in the game and it’s really annoying. Moreover it’s unable to prevent botting.

I personaly don’t like this anti-farm system because it’s able to kill a lot of fun I get from the game. And I really hate when someone “says” me like “hey, you are killing those mobs 20 minutes already. I think it’s too much. I recommend you to do something else or I’ll reduce your drop to zero…”

Seriously guys, that’s wrong way to prevent botting. This is best way to make players hate you Everyone should be able to play his own favourite way. Sure I mean fair way. You shouldn’t force players to change the way they play every ~20 minutes…

His English isn’t good but actually the problem is pretty clear at least for me. His friend is able to login from his (Mesmeric.2360) computer. That means the computer is ok and capable to run the game client. So obviously the issue is account releated and probably caused by some data corruption or just glitch on the login server/database side. Client receives some unexpectable information/error code or smth from the server during login process and just crashes.

I’m a bit confused why Support didn’t check the issue on login server side… It shouldn’t be hard.

BTW, Mesmeric.2360 have you tried to ask Support to change your password?

Almost all escort events are bugged there now Something happens on the server side. Waiting for 24 hrs already – no fix.

That’s not a bug. Guardian was designed to have much less HP than Warrior.
