Guild Wars 2

hm. thanks for the info

Hi Everybody! I just finished up all my gifts for twilight and have been patiently awaiting the precursor scavenger hunt, while i sit in my over 100% Mf gear killing monsters in orr, completely ignoring DR, pretending it doesnt exist, I am asking legitimate help in how to obtain dusk. Im really ready to finish this long adventure up. i recently found out they handed out precursors like candy in the lost shores event, which i took a break from gw2 at that time (great). SO. For people who have dusk/twilight/sunrise/dawn/eternity, WHAT is the best way to get the precursor of right now…..farming 700g would take years. Do i hope to get lucky and throw swords at zoromos, or dance a gold dance to make gold appear into my inventory? Do i just do orr for hours hoping for some lucky kitten drop? Please somebody tell me, cause i really have no idea what to do at this point >.>

Well bro. I hate to put it this way, but some people can get money , others can’t. It’s just, luck I guess. Alot of the blabber of people getting “5 onyx lodestones” an hour or “making an easy 5 gold an hour” is complete trash. Unless you become a TP baron, there isn’t a really fluent way to get alot of money. I mean, there is grinding more drops, but anet added diminishing return which greatly “diminishes” your hopes at that. Literally , just try to get good at merching. It is and always will be the fastest way to gain profits. I feel you about the legendary, I thought I’d never get 200 gold for the lodestones but I finally did! Now I just have to farm a year for 700g for dusk! GL man!

So for now, I have to hope that a pixie fairy flys down from the sky of Tyria and gives me 700gold or dusk?

I was happy to see that there are no more siege being built in the JPs, so I can safely grab my last 20 badges needed, this now brings me to only needing dusk to finally complete this long adventure! Is there any news about the precursor scavenger hunt thing or is that being put to rest? Just wondering because in this update the whole “achievement and laurels” things seems to be the tree they were barking up when talking about different ways to obtain precursors. Anyways thanks for reading please post if you know anything!

To the people defending the fact that anything visually striking would take over a year to get (if you can beat inflation), I present this to you:

how many weapons do warriors use?
how often do you swap weapons
how often does ANet nerf weapon skills forcing you to retrait and perhaps regear?
how long do typical MMOs last before they’re EOL (guild wars 1 was on the high-end of this scale in terms of operating life).

I did the math based on my current rate of personal gather for charged lodestones, and it will take me 16 years at the rate of 0.5 a month from “just playing the game” to gather 100. Infinite light requires a lot more than that. Of course, by that time, the relevance of this game will be long gone.

The main point:
anything that takes longer than 3 months in this MMO for the average person to acquire represents an unreasonable amount of time, as you still have other slots to fill. That’s 9 months for the typical 2 1-handers and 1 two-hander weapon setup, and then you have the armor to work on.

Then there’s the issue with most weapon skins that don’t share the same, rough-hewn, disorganized look are cash sinks only.

I’d like to see weapons that are a testiment to skill, or to what aspect of the game you play most.

Wheres the reward for 10-on-1 victory in wvw.
Where’s the reward for jumping puzzle meta-completion (and it’s cooler reward for timed).
Where’s the reward for soloing x group events.
Where’s the reward ONLY associated with reaching fractal 40, or 80.

In other games many of the coolest weapons are a testiment to skill.

^ everything i was gonna type already typed. thanks

I’m sorry, but this whole argument is made null and void by the fact that these “unattainable goals” are completely optional by design. Why not choose a goal that corresponds with how much you play the game? Seems like logic to me.

Nevermind the fact that every major weapon is 100% cosmetic and does not have any influence over the game outside that whatsoever. “Baaaaaww I need my legendary but it’s ‘unobtainable’”. So kittening what? How does a shiny skin stop you from enjoying the game?

Not sure why I even bothered replying to this thread considering it’s blatantly written by someone who dislikes it and is convinced that everyone thinks the same way as they do.

He said many times, “many people will disagree with me”. no need to rage. I disagree with your comment though. You say that we shouldn’t whine, BECAUSE legendarys are cosmetic. so what if they are cosmetic? the reason they people want them is because they want to set goals to get further in the game. Once you have your full exotic build with ori accessories, you basically are like, “now wtf do i do.”
you could go complete all the areas in the game. BUT why? what benefit or reward other than pleasure does that give? OH gift of exploration? you see where im going how basically gw2’s endgame is basicallllllly making legendary tier weapons. (which is an issue). Since this is the only post exotic thing that people wanna work for, it causes me upset people and posts like this. And i commonly believe that people who say they make 5 gold per hour easy blah blah blah are pretty much lying and spending big bucks on their credit card for gold. The whole point is that yes, im slightly biased since, Im done with all the gifts for twilight, all i need is dusk. However, That is physically impossible at this point do to it going up to 660g and rising. unless i spend 700 dollars. which ive researched and people rtw the ACTUAL twilight for 700$. so either way, if you slave away for 3 months straight nonstop farming gold, or but a leprachaun out of your kitten and get it off the forge, its a TRUE struggle. What people want isnt a easier way at precursors, they just want a way that isnt impossible for medium to high average players. but thats just my 2 cents, feel free to disagree

Yea. i agree. it really sucks for solo players like myself. Tbh, i wish the game had more options to let you solo. like a solo or duo dungeons options etc etc. Being a solo player has its limits though :/ but this isnt game breaking. i didnt play the game for the story line anyways
