Guild Wars 2

Next time, just log out and log back in, just make sure everyone don’t log out at the same time though, might get kicked out of your fractal, this happened to me before and I re-logged and came back at the start with the respawn option, think it’s a glitch, only has happened to me once in like 1000+ fractals.
I think we were doing Legendary Shaman, not sure though.

I’m getting good drops farming pent/shelt and guesting other servers, I have gone from 20 T6 dust to over 200 in 2 days.
What I want to know is if the Heavy Moldy bags have any chance at all to drop cores, and if not, does anyone know why or if a suggestion has been made to this? Theres elementals in orr the bags should have a chance to drops the cores and such imo.
Where do you all get your lodestones? Buy or farm?

Ya, I have been screwed a couple of times on looting the chest while in dungeons, mostly by people in a hurry to make their daily, and that always upsets me cause I never care about my daily, they are a burden to me, if I get it done just a bonus.
What I like is what WoW had, when you missed loot in a dungeon it was mailed to you, if you made a mistake with loot in game you could petition a GM and have that loot exchanged to the person that it was supposed to go to, I liked that about WoW, they need something like that here.
And yes I understand the game is only new but they had years and years to work on it, they should of thought of all this stuff ya know, especially with games out there with it already.

this game is not about loot but about a boring story with unlikable characters

This game is all about loot, it’s all about the grind and all about the farm. Anet saw to that when they made those insane recipes for the legendaries and then they started making every way we have to make gold disappear. You find a decent way to farm, they will remove it or nerf it, cause they don’t want you to get ahead, they want you to buy gems to trade for gold. They buff everything and never increase drop rates. That’s why I stopped farming fractals for my gs skin a long time ago cause it was getting stupid running it 4-6 times a day doing multiple 30’s and 40’s on 3 toons and getting nothing but blues and greens and no skins and them denying they nerfed the drop rates in there, they think we are stupid and don’t notice this stuff. I think it would be nice of them to mention nerfed drop rates so I could move on to something else instead of wasting my time but no they probably enjoy wasting my time.

Some of these events are over in less than a minute. Fire Elemental and Jungle Worm comes to mind.

Are there any plans to redesign these events into 10+ minute epic battles that are worthy of their loot?

Worthy of their loot? I’m sorry but you get a rare from most of these events, i don’t want to waste anymore then the 5 mins i have to to obtain it, I hate spending like 15-20 mins on jormag just to get the 1 rare and 3-4 blues and greens from the chest, why make the events longer when they wont make the loot better?
They always make things harder and longer but never make loot better. Don’t ask for it to be harder or you will regret it.

If you want epic, ask for raid instances, I doubt you’ll get epic from a dynamic event from anet. I doubt anet could design anything epic, they dont know the meaning of fight mechanics. Any fight you go to you can stand there and bang your head off the keyboard and get loot. Try doing that in an instance in WoW. Those bosses had fight mechanics, those developers knew how to code. Anet has 300 employees, I think only 5 actually work on this game, seems like everyone else is playing ping pong and foosball, who knows though.

Guild bounties are simple. before you activate the bounty, meet in a private spot and have all your guildies join parties and squads, and then make sure you are all in some kind of voice chat, and then track down all the bounties. They are all located easily on Dulfy.net.
Next when every bounty is located and being tracked, activate the bounty and see which bounties you have and then go to them, in order or in the order you wish.
Any tier can be done this way, bounties are very simple, I think that’s why they made them harder.

I say leave it how it is, if they change how ascended gear is acquired, then why not make precursors available in some other way to? And as far as WvW people go, I could care less, let them whine, if they want the gear, let them get it like everyone else.

Anet always nerf’s, even if they do make a dungeon more difficult, in the end something in that dungeon, more then likely the drops, will get nerfed, happened to fractals, they buffed the crap out of all the mobs and then nerfed all the drops. And denied it all.

But all the people who run fractals daily and do it multiple runs everyday know for a fact they did it, they just think we’re stupid and don’t notice, or don’t deserve to be told. A lot of people just run fractals in this game, it’s the only hard and challenging thing in here, I think Anet likes to cater to carebears more.

And I’ll tell you what’s a real slap in the face to all of us who grind everyday for the frac skins, this stupid SAB that they have now, new skins for every world that they are supposedly releasing, why nothing new for fractals, why nothing updated in fractals? They hate us don’t they. I hate them to.

RNG is flawed and Anet uses it anyway, some people, like me, never see precursor’s, I have thrown thousand’s upon thousand’s of rares into the mystic for hoping for my precursor, nothing but crappy nameless exotics, I have done meta events over and over, run fractals on 3 characters 4-5 times a day into the lvl 40+ and still nothing, I have seen 10 precursor’s drop in the parties I have been in, and my guildies have gotten a few, but a guildy of mine got 2 in 1 week, that is not random.

All I can say is, ESO can’t get here fast enough.

Keep dreaming, this game does not reward skill, look at fractals, I got better rewards from levels 1-10 then I am now getting in the 40’s, they don’t care about skill, rng don’t care about skill either. Whole system in this game is a joke imho.

Do you think a game that would allow you to max out a char and get fully equipped with practically BIS gear without even leaving the main city you start in would reward skill? I don’t think they know what it is, see them from time to time in tpvp, little buggers.

I don’t think you truly understand what makes a guild a guild.…

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about what a guild is. Guild content, however, is designed to be about challenges that can only be overcome by working with other people. The new mission type is not intended to change that by circumventing the content that’s already in place. All it does it make it more accessible.

No Offense man, but 99% of the people in this game could pretty much care less about guild content, they want END GAME Content, this game has NONE. Thats why you are losing players!

Lol what do you think guild content is? Also fractals?

Fractals is a joke, it’s not End Game content, let’s hope not, I’m lvl 49 and I hate it, the higher you go the worse the rewards get, the mobs get tougher, and the repair bills get bigger. No one runs fractals hardly ever anymore, especially at high levels, and guild content isn’t End Game content, takes minutes to complete missions.
I got an Idea for you ANET, when it comes to End Game content, Steal! Cause you are clueless.

Why would anyone even bother with doing the real missions if you could get the same reward for doing the easy mode version?

Why would anyone even bother with doing Tier 3 if you could get the same reward for doing the easier Tier 1 version?

Larger guilds like the one I’m in do T3 missions for the merits to unlock other missions. But I still think missions are a waste all together, can do a T3 bounty in 7 minutes and if you already did your mission that week you just get some silver, I think these guild missions are a joke personally, just like high level fractals.

Amun Ra.6435:

As I read the statement you will still get one rare/per boss/per account. If this this is true they will still be farmed, which is good, but just wont have people getting…I don’t know…30+ rares per day. This is a good change.

That is indeed correct. You will get one guaranteed rare drop per boss per account per day. You still have the chance to get pre-cursors/exotics/rares from the regular dragon chests every time you play an event. It is just the guaranteed rare drop that has been restricted.

I still don’t see how anyone can see this as a good thing, you are nerfing drop’s again and half these events are usually bugged and glitched and unable to be done. Instead of looking for ways to keep players from making gold, how about looking for ways to keep the events running properly and trying to fix all the bugs. You’re not doing anything but driving away honest players.

Another nerf, ANET at it’s best, the Dynamic events are all that GW2 has going for it right now, you make it a 1 time a day thing and you’re gonna lose a lot of players, this game is failing HARDCORE, only thing to do all day is pvp and farm the events and now that will be gone, soon so will most players, you dropped the ball ANET.

Nerf loot in all dungeons imho, they nerfed loot in fractals and it’s the only real challenge in this game and there was no real outcry about it. I think there should be nothing but blues and greens in regular dungeon chests. They should buff chests in fractal and maybe people would go back to running them again, used to be worth running, now it’s a waste to run.
CoF is a joke, my guildy got a precursor ikittenmin speed run the other night out of there, that dungeon is a festering hole and I can’t stand it, I don’t like easy crap and it is easy, that’s why I don’t run it, I like a challenge and fractals is the only challenge here but I won’t run it for 2 hrs just to get 1 rare out of a lvl 48 run.

Dwayna bugged again on Yaks, the Malchor part of the event never starts, it just freezes.

Lot’s of people carry 2 sets of armor when running fractals, well used to, some would carry 3, and if you don’t know a fight just check wiki or youtube it.

Dub.1273:

What about Dungeon Chests, same effort but even less rewarding than fractals.

Same effort as world bosses maybe, I think CoF chest loot needs a serious nerf, takes what 5 mins to run it and you can get precursors from the chest? Same effort?
Riiiggghhht…

Fractals is the only challenge this game has and they seem to want us to not want to run it, that’s the feeling I get, cause I seriously don’t want to run it anymore, it’s not worth my time, I’m lvl 48 and it’s more rewarding racing to beat overflow to world boss zergs.

I really didn’t notice if there was a new build or not but you must be kind of new to fractals so I’ll fill you in. Fractals used to be a good run, you use to run it and come out with anywhere from 4-8 rares and 1-3 exotics, then anet did a shadow nerf, and said they didn’t nerf it, but those of us who were running fractals everyday know different, we aren’t stupid, I myself am lvl 48 and don’t run it cause I don’t think 1-2 hrs is worth it for a repair bill just to get a rare if I’m lucky and then no skin over and over again, it’s a joke and they are the ones laughing.

Also Dwayna has been bugged all day on Yaks and the I think the Southern Invasion for Balth is stuck.

Winds.3087:

But developers stated that there’s no DR for fractals at all.
On the other hand I heard there was rumored system in GW1 that granted increased drops to any first-timer.

Developers also stated that there was never a nerf to loot in fractals, and everyone that was running fractals dailies 30+ and 40+ knows for a fact that there was a shadow nerf and then they turned around and buffed all the mobs, made it all harder and gave us lousier drops. Thats why everyone is talking about leaving, unless they make big changes and soon, this is the best dungeon in the game and they keep messing it up.

lekyii.9856:

Thats true, but why now? why only after patch ppl start to complain about the loot!?

People have been complaining about bad loot since day 1 of the fractals. It isn’t new, and generally I don’t bother to answer those questions since it is just RNG and speculation. Some people find a precursor in that chest, and others get blues. Just the nature of RNG whenever you open that chest.

I’ll ask around tomorrow to see if anything changed, but looking at it right now I see no changes to the fractal chest loot.

I used to get good loot from fractals till that first nerf, now I run 40+ fracs and usually walk out with 1-3 rares, I have on occasion walked out with a few more and sometimes an exotic but rarely, if it is RNG then shouldn’t RNG be tweaked and DR be left alone since it seems to be working and RNG seems to be what everyone is complaining about?
Another thing, I don’t think it’s right to buff the mob’s in a dungeon and nerf the drops, if you’re gonna make the dungeon harder, drops and chests should give better rewards. Just my opinion though.

they nerfed the loot, don’t listen to trolls, believe what you get in your bags. I do and I don’t get squat anymore. The people who are saying they get all kinds of loot still are just trolls. Anet is ruining the game, they nerfed the loot in the only real dungeon they have. kind of stupid in my opinion, they should have added more loot and more fractals, now I dont want to go there anymore and I’m telling my guildies to do the same, it sucks there, waste of time.
Only thing in this game to do now is events, and I hope that holds me off until ESO comes out…

I also think they should make the weapon skins from fractals something that is on the vendor also, they are a transmuted item and nothing that any WvW peeps should be crying about if we are able to buy them so i dont see why we can’t buy them, they never drop anyway.
If they can implement a farming code then they can put in a code that makes it so that certain items dont keep dropping over and over and over again on the same account, I run a 20 and 30 daily everyday and if i get anything its always the same freaking ring. YAY, 4 more silver.

Has anyone else noticed that the loot in fractals has gotten pretty lousy as of late? I usually run a 20 and a 30 daily everyday, and I don’t just run a 20 or 30, I run like a 26 and a 36, and I used to walk away with a bunch of rares and at least one of those unnamed exotics. But lately I haven’t been getting anything, the other day I ran both my 20 and 30 right after each other and I had 2 rares in my bags. If Anet is trying to say they didn’t nerf the drops in fractals then I think I can believe that, when I actually see the pig fly.
