I don’t really know how it works, but since the reward is given via ingame mail I guess you will get it even if you get disconnected. And if you didn’t got anything probably your moa was 4th or 5th.
And they’re account bound because every time they add limited edition weapons that can be sold, the majority end up being hoarded and sold for ridiculous amounts of money long after the event, and it does serious damage to the economy.
Why is that bad? How is this different than buying a lot of Mini Reef Rider now and selling them in a year or two for a lot of gold?
You can improve your odds of getting this achievement by opening crates in the last minute or so of the round – Get a fishing poll – wait until the last 15 seconds or so, and use the fishing poll to grab the crab.
That’s not how the achievement works. Being the last man standing doesn’t mean you have to hold the carb when the game ends. If that would be true this achievement would be so much easier. To get the achievement you have to be still standing, holding the crab, while everyone else is knocked down(by a karka for example).
I finally got the achevement by simply dumb luck with the number of player in my team.
I joined a game and there was a single player and myself. Asked about crabtacular and She said she needs it too. A karka just spawned and since she was holding the crab I left myself to be rolled over by that karka. Asked is she got it, said yes and she throwed the crab at me. Next moment she was rolled over and I got the achievement. 5 sec later more people joined the team. Dumb luck.
Once you figure it out it is pretty easy to get this achievement. It is especially easy if you have a player that is sitting in a corner.
Now that populations in the game are lower it is almost impossible not to get this achievement since you usually only have to flatten 1 or 2 people.
I doubt that. I i’ve flatten more than 2 people several times while holding teh crab. No achievement. And base on achievement description “Be the last player standing while holding the crab” I doubt you can get it with just 2 people unless those 2 people are the only people in the arena.
the problem with all these suggestions is that it ceases to be a rare weapon. If everyone has 100% access to the skins then it’s not a rare weapon anymore, and it looses it’s value. I like the system they currently have. most people don’t have one, a very select few do. That select few stand out, which I like.
No matter how difficult it is to acquire, if there’s a 100% chance to get it… the game will be flooded with them. Look how many legendaries are around. Just walk around LA for 5 minutes and you’ll see them all over the place.
Wintersday skins were limited available and sold on the store for 500gems a piece. There are gone now. Did this made them more common? I have the Winter’s Edge greatsword and I ussually get 2-4 whispers every day from people asking me what skins is that and where they could get it. Sure the sclerite skisn may be common in the next few weeks if they were sold on the gemstore but they become rare with time.
The main reason we can’t use rifles is probably class balance. You dont wan’t to give too many weapons to one class and also you dont want to give them only ranged options. That’s what we have swords and greatswords instead of rifles
I loved it. However, my only complains: Crabtacular achievement and Sclerite Weapon Ticked droprate.
Crabtacular achievement. This is based on luck and hope that no one wants to grief. Really, if someone joins a game he could play in such a way that it will guarantee no crabtacular achievement for anyone in that round. An achievement for something that any player could work against is not fun.
Sclerite weapon ticket. Same deal like Fused weapon ticket. RNG and tradeable would be ok(just like Halloween). No RNG and gemstore would aslo be ok(like gemstore winter skins). RNG and accountbound = no fun at all. If I get a ticket and don’t want it is totally useless for me for being accountbound. If I want a ticket and can’t get it there is no other option for me but just keep trying more and more RNG. I can’t just save money and buy one from another player or from gemstore.
Just make them tradeable. I’m sure those who got lucky and got 3 tickets frim 20 chests would be more than happy to sell the extra tickets and those really unlucky people would be more than happy to know taht they need to save x amount of gold for a ticket.
Or 500 gems per skin in the gemstore for a week and I’ll be happy about it(liek the wintersday skins).
Unless they are going to be released again with some other update(I doubt it will happen) there is no reason they will gow down in price after June 11th.
What I would really love is tradeable tickets(or skins). If I get lucky and get more tickets than I want then I can sell it for some profit. And If I really want a ticket, but I have really bad luck I can save some money and buy one from someone who has extras. Win-Win for both sides. If that would be possible I’d have no problem with RNG. Like halloween skins. They were based on RNG but at the same time tradeable, If I really want a skin i can save money and get it even if i have really really bad luck.
But I doubt that will happen. So i’d rather have hope that I might get a skin someday than not getting one ever at all.
OR even better would be if they would make them like wintersday skins: 500gems per skin in the gemstore for a limited time, but this might make them more common than some people want.
TL:DR: Please add the tickets as a very rare drop from the daily Karka Queen chest.
I don’t want to make the skins common, I understand that being rare makes them valuable, so keeping them as a very rare drop from the karka queen will still retain their value(since you can’t farm them with a chest that can be looted just once per day per account) and at the same time those who didn’t got lucky with a ticket can still hope about getting one in the future.
Please add the Sclerite Weapon Claim Ticket as a very rare drop from Karka Queen chest.
This way the skins will retain their rarity since you can’t get more than one chest per day per account and at the same time, those of us who want a skin can still have hope about getting a ticket.
The droprate is terrible. Over 90% of the time the Southsun Crates only drop materials, not even skins from november update. Making the sclerite weapon skins purely based on luck and at the same time account bound is bad for both people who want them, and have bad lucky, and for people who don’t want them, and have insane luck of getting more tickets than they need.
If you kill the smashy-smashy guy first, the jetpack guys makes the arena smaller(some “force field” on the outer half which pushes you) and throws aoe like always.
If you kill the flying guy first, then Smashy goes crazy and I think he starts getting flame shield protection once in a while.
I found killing Smashy first as being the easier way.
I never had a problem with jumping as a norn(except for Troll’s End), but to answer your question. You can use Princess Doll, Toy Solider and Plush Griffon, all are able to jump and have endless tonic varaint. however the endless tonic is accountbound so you cant get one now unless you have the mystic forge ingredients for them.
From Halloween there is the halloween tonic which has a chance to transform you into a skeleton(human size, human dance. etc.) Also available in endless variant. Quite expensive :|
There is also Concentrating Halloween Tonic, which is craftable by Artificer profession and has a slightly smaller skeleton form.
I think is easier to buy whatever ores you will ever need with ~25 gold rather than buying a pick and mine stuff every day with a level 1 character. And if someone wants to pay 10 $/€ per character to be able to mine a few ori nodes with a low level character, well is their money, their choice.
They have updated the elemental potions and they are tradeable now, However you wont get more than a few silvers per potion. Also potions dropped before the patch are still not tradeable, just like the Halloween Endless Tonic.
I don’t really have a problem with Shadow Behemoth or Fire Elemental, but the Great Jungle Wurm dies too fast. The event lasts less than a second because the wurm is already dead. And even if you do damage to him before the event starts you wont get credit for it because you didn’t damaged him during the event.
I’d add “Foostivoo lottery” as a Down for Wintersday(I spent 7k gems to ge Foostivoo) and gemstore skins as an UP(500gems each and you could get any skin you wanted).
Also Halloween minies as an UP(1k gems and you could get all minies you wanted. acceptable) and Flame and Frost Ticket lottery as a Down(this is the worst of halloween skins(RNG based) and Wintersday(accountbound) combined).
Also I’d say that Flame and Frost update is not done yet so I think there is more to add there.
And I’ll go with Halloween. I’m not a fan of RNG items, but at least Halloween skins were tradeable so you could sell them on tradepost if you didn’t liked them. Also Mad King’s Clocktower > Wintersday Wonderland
All items from Master work and above are soulbound on use. Why should legendaries be special? Because it takes a lot of effort to get one? Volcanus or Infinite Light are exotics and take almost as much time and money to craft. Should they be made account bound too?
It sucks. I did both monthlies before the patch. They should email those who did both monthlies before patch 10 laurels. I don’t mind people getting one laurel from daily, but 10? That’s a week and a half worth of laurels.
I only upgrade my amulet with a versatile infusion since it only cost 75 relics. Until i get an official response that the amulets are/aren’t infuseable I wont upgrade it with an utility infusion
Using the same logic, players playing asura, sylvari and human characters should just skip the whole Flame and Frost content because is none of their business?
I’m pretty sure it was clarified before. Small Wooden chest can also contain supplies. But if you have 10 or more supplies you wont get any extra. So the small wooden chest looks empty.
