looks like you want to do world bosses

Hi. Im looking for examples of players who have gotten multiple precursors in a row from the forge or just out and about in their normal play. I was reading the D3 forums and came across some posts suggesting that the d3 loot must not be truely random as players have experienced getting exactly the same item with exactly the same stats twice and three times in a row. Players who claimed to be knowledgeable in such things responded that in fact clusters such as these indicate that the system is indeed random as an indication of a fake random system is the lack of such clusters.

So even though I am pretty sure that I have seen posts where players have gotten two precursors in a row I ask have you or do you know of someone who has gotten multiple precursors in a row. I hope to see someone respond with the ultimate three dusks in a row. Thanks.

I dont really think its not random and the tests indicating about 0.6% chance from the forge seem very fair to me. 0.6% chance is pretty good I think. Ah perhaps I have a bit of tinfoil hat but not too much.

what i read was “i want to be able to ignore the lfg description, do what ever i like, and if the lfg creator doesnt like it ill kick him”

you provided no details as to what enraged you so to come here and make a post about it so im assuming you gave none as they would incriminate you

if you truely did run into a troll then i apologize

i believe it is thick leather sections im thinking of

is someone betting on them or is something actually happening? all sections were bought from the 8copper to 15copper price in the last day or two… about 1million sections I guess

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

what Lawrencii said haha

but seriously having the best gear and skills equipped in the game actually lowers the required skill…Ironically the game gets easier when you hit 80…. like in that other mmo when id put best enchants on my boa and turn off xp to fill in the blanks with best in slot, then turn it back on so I could go smash, someone would say “you are good” reality is I wasn’t good , if I was I wouldn’t have needed the best stuff

Having played this since launch…

“Game will not change”

Sorry but it always was and always will be a zerg train. Take what you want from it and when you have had your fill just leave. Im almost full just 3 more dungeon paths.

One of the best $60 I ever spent. Having said that… flee you fool. flee this this game you will not find what you seek here

become a dungeon speed runner, get good at a bunch of paths and do them once every 24 hours or as often as you like, save gold and loot earned towards buying a precurser off the tp, use the tokens earned to puchace dungeon reward weapons from the dungeon vendors and put them in the mystic toilet for almost a 1% chance of precurser

or salvage the dungeon reward weapons and sell the salvage

this reminds me of something…. say players want dueling…. so you can buy gems and spend them on dueling development… or whatever

I married a BearBow. Then we had BearBow junior. Then the other child made the exact same character I first made which was a male asuran thief. Too bad I suck on thief and could give no good examples of how to play. Life would be easy if they were all warriors but you deal with what you have. Spouse is a zerker BearBow at least and the only time I got kind of annoyed with BearBow was when trying to pop the hologram on Clockheart while my BearBow kept kiting Clockheart away. Bearbow Junior spends 3/4 time in sword so good there and have switched him to more of a zerk build as he has moved away from using any contions. Still has his Barkskin so didnt change his style any. My little thief
asked about being a guardian so I ground his lvl 10 guard to 75 which he finished off. He used guard to do Aetherblade.

Kid#1 lets Kid#2 die right beside him without bothering to even drop his shadow refuge. I ask why he didnt and got no response so I look over and Kid#1 is is completly engrossed in an Archie comic auto attacking the final boss. Wasnt aware of anything outside the comic at all. Sound like some pugs you know?

Bearbow Mom is getting frusterated during a path and states that she doesnt even like tbis kitten game. Kid1 and Kid2 took it personally and said fine you dont want to be here we and proceeded to vote kick Bearbow Mom. Bearbow Mom suddenly finds herself outside the dungeon wondering what happened. I tell her and she is not impressed. The dungeoneering was suddenly over that weekend. Dont be pulling Mom aggro. Dont vote kick your mom it dont end in your favor.

cof path where you have 60secs to gather components for the kaboomium Kid2 says after we failed to four man it once… why dont we all preposition ourselves at the pickup points before you start it…. mmm smarter than me already?

kid1 makes a necro and goes ac story… proceeds to drop the staff aoe’s onto the casket before it is opened… mmm efficient…. also smarter than me already?

I was a god guide at first but they moved beyond that. Which is good because sometimes its all I can do to keep myself alive. Ill still try and tell them what to do once in a while but they dont listen. Its good they have developed there own things which get the job done. They have started to use the jungle cat pets mighty roar after I finally asked them to. They do choose to listen sometimes.

Probably had to be there.

Oh and their Aunt. Aunty Warrior is our fifth sometimes. Vengance! Vengance! Always use vengance at every opertunity even if someone is only one tick away from reviving you.

“Dad…Aunty used vengance again should I revive her?” and me “…………………no” in a quiet sad voice. “I just push all the buttons when Im downed” aunty said when I asked.

had to be there

gave up on eotm as its just a train

sorry i cut the post off phone problems… so notable moments makes no sense

bump… thanks for your support… I tend to underestimate the humanity of the players on this forum

my apologies

Only the legendary halls of Arah await us now. What challenges will we face inside and is this where we will finally meet our ends?

things that have stood out as difficult for us so far:

cof path3 when you must kill five(?) waves of flame legion without wiping to continue

coe Subject Alpha for various reasons we chose to kill it without stacking on paths 2/3… twenty wipes before we mastered this… to bad we wont be reusing our hard won skill

The new reactor fractal final boss fight with the disapearing floor…. probably twenty wipes with only one kid and myself surviving… the other kid died five seconds before… so close

Aetherblade Path… ooze kiting twenty wipes… Slick and Sparky twenty wipes… Clockheart ten wipes… spread over three attempts… on the third attempt of the dungeon we beat everything on first try except Clockheart which took us two tries… so I guess we did master the place in the end

I question how casual the Aetherblade path was. Maybe not casual at all. Coe was not too bad as we could have upped our dps and gotten a fifth to stack Alpha I believe.

Noteable moments:

CM path 3 I ask kid#1 why he didnt shadow refuge kid#2 when he was downed RIGHT beside him

it is kind of interesting how if a noob in an ac spider stack causes an aoe attack that 99% of the time everyone will just stand in it and die….even though by that time all the spiderlings are long gone and everyine could easily move out…. is this an example of lack of skill?

You have just experienced the game the way everyone did at release. Consider yourself lucky.

i thought for sure i would have posted in something like this but guess not….pro necromancer yes…

get rid of the second wave of spiderlings that spawn when the spider queen drops down and its all fixed….this first boss encounter is too mean on new players unless anets intention was to teach the stack strat right away in the very first encounter of the first dungeon…. if so then mission accomplished… the encounter was fine before the anet revamp

zerker works best when the entire party is zerker… too few zerker then they dont have the sustain to survive the stack before the mobs die and the zerker ends up downed….thats why you see posts where someone who was not zerk was the last one alive while everyone else was dead

the solution has always been to make your own group and to not join groups requesting zerk

heres a super cheesy probably bug thing you can do on the clockheart….if your party dies except for two of you run in separate directions…. the boss will follow one of you allowing the other to get out of combat … now the player with the boss dies…everyone dead now has a small window to hammer on the waypoint…. and whamo your entire party is alive again then teleported back into the boss room before its health resets

me not stacking but using every other type of cheese that i see fit lol the hyprocracy

you running after that carrot just like they want

0.6% chance from the forge by putting four exotics greatswords in is the best odds you are going to get….way better than running around the world hoping for a drop

0.6% is not that bad is it?

so you are saying that eventually anet wants dyes to go to five gold per? should i invest?

My guess is the ooze kite to door puzzle. Its a stumbling block for pugs who dont have someone in party who can explain a method that works and all it takes is for one or two party members to not play as a team and blow it. Then playes quit perhaps the dungeon opener so the players still around find themselves rudely ejected from the path. At that point most say kitten this. This stumbling block is early into the path and the players have not committed. Slick and Sparky are deeper in so the players are more invested. By the time they get to Clockwork they are very invested.

Ooze puzzle sends them away crying imo. But I never wanted to play with those quitters anyways. Im just guessing.

there was a vid not too long ago of an Anet tag being finished off the edge of a cliff with a battering ram LoL lol that makes me laugh just thinking of it

haha almost got me! I was about to write a lengthy reply but heard this POOF noise and yep my neck was completly covered in a full bush of hair…. it even burst into flames and started speaking to me but I quickly shaved it

Ive made my own group comprised of my spouse and two children. We only intend to experience each path once and as of yesterday have completed everthing except Arah. We dont stack because I havent shown them how…well we stacked CoE path1 and as for Arah only time will tell. When not pugged the dungeons Anet made are truely a beautiful experience. But then we are not farming them. I imagine they would get stale if we did that.

the point was that the dungeons can be a beautiful experience if you choose

there is no way you should be getting one hit in dungeon unless you are going zerk or closer to that end… outside of a few bosses

if not ready for full damage then put more stats into surviveability

spikes in floors have red circles….what was the rule in wow? dont run ahead and dont stand in red stuff

no not smart at all….npc wouldnt come….i failed lol

if it took three times as long you all could have booted the opener and started over…that way it would have taken twice instead of three times as long…that afker is only a 20% reduction in damage so shouldnt it only take 20% longer to do the run instead of 300%? that player must have been carrying something fierce

im trying to be a smartkitten is it working lol

forget which temple but one picks you up and drops you causing much damage….use the trait that reduces fall damage by 50%….ive never done this myself but saw it mentioned in chat at the event

give wvwvw some major seducing, wining, dining, caressing, and a weekend of lovemaking

nvm i cant read….you wrote armor not weapons sorry

once you click the upgrade onto the two handed weapon another window will pop up showing both upgrade slots…..then on that window click the slot you want the sigil to go into…by default the top slot is set to recieve the upgrade… i overwrote my sigil of bloodlust that way wups!

maybe try it out on a cheap weapons with some cheap sigils first

im pretty sure thse are the bots of someone conducting a Turing Test on us

they are failing miserably btw

Matrix sunglasses with trenchcoat take my money!

i know i would have paid gems by now to have a outgoing mail expander….say twenty items instead of five

actually….zerker kill stuff so fast it requires less skill than killing stuff a bit slower…then there is the other end where your surviveability is so great that it doesnt take any skill either….somewhere in the middle is what takes the most skill

i just deleted what i wrote as i do not want to encourage you

you guys are going to get the dungeons nerfed

my theory is that they increased the chance of getting better drops from them so decreased the number of times we can open them. was it just me or were yellows coming out of those chests like crazy just before the update? by crazy I mean almost getting a yellow from one of them every run

Well if they dont like handing out gold perhaps the drop rate for recipes could be increased. I’m an a.c. running freak and I’ve gotten one recipe drop after over a thousand hours in there. Common kitten horrible loot.

He is a good noob boss as it is a very forgiving encounter but is not easily accessible to noobs because of the encounter where five waves of silver mobs spawn. If you know what I mean. Also if the noob party did not have a thief or mesmer they could all rage quit at the part where you must run up faster than the explosions. Why is this noob boss hidden way in the back of this path? Does not seem to fit.

Your idea sounds fun.

We don’t read and we write “you do know” way too much.

Noooo! How will the best players know which dungeon parties to quit less than a second after joining?

This is the star of the planet of the space goats.

I almost never find myself standing outside the dungeon due to a rage quit. This is because I enter the dungeon first then make the lfg. I realize that not everyone can enter the dungeon first because if we all did that we would be soloing everything. I enjoy taking new players through the first dungeon and it is unwise to let a new player enter first as the chance of a ragequit is high.

Something like 2600 hours and no precursor. I’m no a dedicated toilet gambler though. Keep your money imo.

Anybody have any solutions for him? Like the one above said…dungeons. Are mega server on all servers yet? I know nothing about this. Could you guest to a server where it is not implemented yet?

Also I thought that champs were scaled to number of players now? So the previously champs would become only a silver or copper if only one player was present?

Found a couple uses for it in pve. Taking noob under 80 squishies through ac the water staff pushes them through that spider stack. Also makes killing the ghosts while detha assembles the traps go pretty smooth for the same under 80 group. But still useless for experienced party imo.

Wvwvw only use it to pvp door and as a result splash water onto the ram operators.

Zerk stack and smack is the most efficient way to complete everything that I have seen. But everything (save arah and aetherblade as we have not done them yet) is doable by children. My two kids say hi from their carrion and clerics. So dont worry you dont have to zerk out if you dont want to.

But it is impossible to deny that zerk is the most efficient. Just go on a run and watch the boss melt in only a couple seconds.

Is good. I like the SAB weapons on the mesmer and want the same look no matter what stats I use. Also always wanted those sweet pistols for thief. Unless I dont understand that single pistol I got can be copied many times now. I think its only 100g on th TP….
