i wonder if the a pre step, or step one for something else. maybe HoT, will be offering some new lion chest stuff or maybe a way to earn keys, or something.
100%ing WvW requires transferring to another server at least once
do you mean map completion? There is no more completion for Wvw and even if so, you get switch out to one of three color every week or two.
Laural are easy to come by as you can earn a lot in the 28 days of daily. more if the 28th day you pick Laural which to me is the best option.
I am sure other mention it, but for the most part, acceded equipment not needed at all, as you can get away from the other stuff. Full Exotic gear not to expensive too if you want.
Think of it also as the time to make it, add into the price if you sell or buy. If it was easier to make, they cost less, or you make less.
Yes I know you plan to use them too, but it still an effect to consider.
when you get hit while down, the bar drop quicker. Maybe after downed, a few stray hits get you before you were fully down and lost a good % of health.
I never buy key for 125 gem each, but maybe with the keyfarming mostly gone, they could do more sale. 25 gem for a key, I would buy 4 at that price, or say 5 for 100, sounds better to me, lol.
I also wonder if this is a first step to something else. I hope for the better, just a wait and see of course. Till then, just going to hold on to my key, for the chest not really offering to many things I want atm. Also to prepare my self and my friends, for a Sunday run. Since I am not worry about being slowed down now, i don’t mind doing it as a group with them, and getting them into it too, hehe.
I am not saying it easy. I am also saying, who knows if it effects matter. I am just saying, it might not be as bad, we only seen a couple days and a ton of panics and such.
Also sorry, some reason it corrected it to Runnier when I meant, Runner, though I am going to assume you know exactly what i meant.
I actually wonder if in the long run we wont see much difference or so. I heard lots of people who normally wont do key farming may start once a week. Without the large increase in keys, they may even see more sales, which in turn means more chests open too. Yes I know the drop rate is not much better now, as far as we know, but that still more keys too. It really way to early to tell right now how things are effected except for the fact some hardcore key runnier have to stop.
Black Lion Chest Keys from the early personal story rewards have been limited to one per week accountwide.
So i was having a discussion with my friend, the word early. You guy think that only mean the level 10 reward only?
I guess we need to watch the prices on the market to tell how this will effect be good or bad. I am sure there going to be some jump, more so people buying to re sell or maybe just people removing till they see, but it still be interesting.
I feel what they should’ve done is just restrict F2P accounts from obtaining keys via keyfarming (or atleast 1 key – per week). Them doing this to vets is another kick in the teeth, I still feel salty I have to pay for the game twice (and no i didn’t receive the free character slot Arena-net feels can make up for this). I love the game but each time they scheme makes the game more and more of a turnoff.
I really don’t believe f2p is the issue here. I think the sale we just had was them testing the market. When they put up keys for a crazy price even then very few people bought them. They then placed blame on key-farming rather than the BL chests themselves and decided to do something about it. Their fail logic is a bit silly this time. It’s the chests that are the problem, Anet. If the keys were WORTH buying, we would.
I know we wont get the answer officially i guess, but now i plan to do a once a week key farming with my group more so once we know how that timer works too.
So there are two other posted on this topic on the front page, and you felt you needed to make a new one to basically say no?
This is confusing me more then the keys, lol.
the cost of a waypoint jump was so low i made money during the event when i chop a tree, or mine while fighting the invasion. It can’t really be that bad of a cost, and lower level player pay even less, mine was a level 80 tax.
There really no reason to be such drama queens over this. The key farming while fun or good, most likely was never the best idea, and we should be happy it stuck around as long as it did. Plus we do not know the full impact of the update yet, so till we do, there no reason to go over the deep end with insults and such.
Now I’ll be able to keyfarm! Once a week is not too tedious.
I feel for the new players though, who will either have to space their stories one week apart or not get the keys.
I can’t see it effect anyone, seeing how it removing key from the level 10 story completion rewards if you try ti do it more then one a week, or you mean on multi characters at the same time?
The funny thing is, chest drop seem like it was already high, as I get a lot of them, and sold a bunch too. Though during the sale due to bundles i bought at least 15 keys, but since i see key as a lottery ticket, i never buy them normally. Though I guess we wait and see the drop rate.
I wonder what it is, cause I only seen 1, maybe 2 key drops before, and i killed a ton of enemy, more so when farming in a couple area. I done some key farming too, and a little sad, but I can understand the limit. I wonder if Tuesday is the week start, and what item replaces the key, or you just get 3 then.
well with the gems, i watched it jump up and down each day. people must buy the gems to want something each sale day while at the same time, other are trying to make some extra gold. Yes, it hard to say without real numbers to do the math with, but going up almost 50g for 400 seem like a jump to me, even if maybe said people did not get what they want, other did.
I enjoy my pet rock as a gift from a friend, even if i bought it for her first, lol. with the charges on sale, i bought the account bump pack since it was cheaper too, mostly to try my luck on keys and dyes since it was cheap. Mostly while i wish for a couple items my self, for the most part, I was ok with this sale, as i manage to pick us some nice things.
I like the break because after it over, i can get up, use the rest room, what ever, i am not rushed right to start again, which is one reason i might miss first 10 minutes of Dry top, sometimes.
who knows, maybe the week of or before, will have charter slots for sale. It sucks an item you want did not go on sale, but saying the whole thing was bad, just because it did not come up or go one sale, is just awful to do.
I’m happy the charges are on sale. I needed to buy more, just wish I could buy more than 15 at that price.
What are you doing that requires so many charges, since I seem to earn a lot in daily chest and or pvp. also the few i earned when i did map explorer and such.
I don’t really use them too often. I just don’t earn many at all anymore. Just the ones from the dailies. Lately I’ve been messing around with the look of my characters. I’ve also been leveling another character and use a charge every time I get a new piece of armor. A complete waste, I know. I have a feeling I will be using a lot of them come HoT as well. Buying 15 only bumped me up to 31.
I don’t PvP unless it’s to finish up a daily. I haven’t focused on map completion in a couple years now. It will likely be a focus in the near future though.
Yea, daily pvp more or less for me too, but I guess that explains why you need more charges. I not mess with the looks to much. more so i wait till i am done leveling to change the armor so i did not have to do it to much.

Darn it, I bought that jungle explorer outfit a couple week ago, well, two of them, cause I thought it be cool for HoT release, haha. oh well, luck is funny that way.
I am also not sure, but would you suggest we hold onto our bloom for a next time, or try to continue to earn away and see if we get to the prizes we might want?
I just want to throw in some things. I did like the time limit wait, at leas t the 30 minute one. 30 minute before the next invasion was good. I did not need to rush to the next map, I could take a quick break and sort out things I gain while playing. The 1 1/2 before the rest sorta sucked though, maybe trim that down to a hour or remove the wait and just keep the 30 minute blocks.
I did like the running around the map to help out the land though i guess why bother after a point, since the way stack works. I figure a two stage plan for a prize be good. Every Mordrem event stopped does have a thing on screen I notice. Maybe the amount stop could be used to convert to a prize to have people spread out to take care of them quickly, but to also stop people from just afking, they can help defeat 5 events too. Not sure how to stop the tagging unless the event you are in maybe drop something too, but that might not be the best also.
Not to sure how to improve on it more, but I am sure other people had decent idea.
This event is still glitched for me. I do not receive experience from killing enemies, I do not receive drops from enemies I kill, I do not receive experience, karma, or gold from completed events, and enemies do not count as kills for sigils, runes, and traits.
Please work on a fix asap.
What you describe are not glitches. That seems to be working as intended.
That can’t be right. why would this event be for new players if they could not level and gain loot from it?
It was designed by people who did NOT think it through.
No karma
No loot
No exp
Rewards tagging and moving on, not working together to finish.
Meager tokens for your effort
A gold barrier that the poorer members can’t get past by playing this new content.
Long down times between map incursions
Promotes zerging by those not tagging and moving on
No map finale with good rewards
Penalizes the new accounts at every stage of playing the new content that was put in a level accessible map for them to try out.
I’m not sure anet couldn’t have messed up harder if they tried.
ANet. They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity to not mess up.
the stupid “breaks” in between invasions is what kills the event imo
I find the breaks good, though that hour one does suck, mostly cause it allows me to get up, stretch, bathroom, anything without needed to rush right to the next one.
I love how the events track map progression, yet it does nothing. I was on a map during the first Mordrem Assault, and we saw the tracker for how many events our map had completed. I got really excited, we spread out all over the map and completed like 50 events or so mapwide. Amazing community work right there. Well, the rewards were obviously buggy, but now it’s (mostly) fixed it’s plain to see that map success counts for nothing, and personal ability to tag events counts for everything. This is really sad.
There is one flaw in mapwide rewards that I can think of, and that is people finding a good map and then afk-ing the whole event. At any rate, I guess it is too late to fix now, and I hope stuff will get better in HoT. Already pre purchased, already hyped, but if this is how open world is gonna progress then I might as well stick to my dungeons/fractals/raiding runs.
I do think it be nice maybe for next time you get one bloom for every 2 or so event completed map wide on top of your own completion prizes
i don’t know, i earn some bloom and the daily, i will try some more later, cause i needed a break anyways, but still have as you said 3 days, i feel no need to rush to get all the prizes.
Smart kid… oO! You feel no need to rush to get all prizes? If you would have checked ingame, you WON’T even get ONE prize during event time! So basically you are happy to pay WP costs, getting NO loot at and its fine…
So far I earned about 10 gold coins during the 3 events. Killing the normal mobs, and colelcting nods and doing events, and getting the event token, it been pretty good and still have till monday to contiune the fun.
I admit I not seen to many events, but this one does not feel bad. It hard to tell if you guys want easier for rewards or harder to be truthful, but maybe it not as bad as your making it out and saying everyone should hate it.
Wtf? Are you just trolling? You made 10 gold? Well 100% not from this event, probably you did the normal events which have nothing todo with this mordrem event. Mordrem event doesn’t give you gold!
And on further note, who cares about gold? The problem is that you won’t get ANY loot because it is IMPOSSIBLE to get enough blossoms during the whole event duration!
Please stop writing such —-—. Fact is you can’t get 250 blossoms even if you play 24h each day during this event!
i am up to 100 bloom i believe more or less from yesterday and today. and if you read my post, i said the money earn while doing the event from the normal mods in the area and collecting from the nodes. Gold is important to me, you never know when you might need to buy something. Yes, the big jump from daily, but that still counts, and i be able to earn more later, after a little sleep. At least then, my friends be up so we can play more, I work night and they needed sleep, hehe
yaya 10 gold only from mats and events in this areas in 3 *30 min AND enough time to do enough modrem special events all. sure !
you have to be an magician …. keep on…..
The event has you running all over the map, what else is on the map but nodes. Iron, soft woof, and depending on luck with harvests. Also I attack the creatures in the way, since they still spawn, I got a bunch of bags from the centaurs in kissex and other things. I even got like 3 tier 6 item form a bag a champion toxic spore creature thing. More or less, you do not have to focus 100% on the event, as you still get the event complete. I usually stack close to 10-15, depending on speed and luck of closeness to things.

what is wrong with the event beyond that then? you play how you want, and have fun in a group taking out the enemy. I can’t say i see a real down side to the event, besides people wishing for easier rewards.
Its not the easier rewards buddy. Its the fact that the event is only 4 days long! Barely enough to get the required blossoms to buy the top items. That’s if you do 15 hours days this remaining 3 days. Sure have the events locked at there current time but extend the whole event to at least a few more days.
I am literally waiting on the forums for the event to start. because we have a 1 hour break…… I had many new players on my map confused as hell what was going on. They cant waypoint like the vets so they don’t even reach the 10 stack to get blossoms.
At this point I’m just gonna buy the stupid scarlet glove and never touch this event. I got better stuff to do then this event.

I am serious, not a cat. The forums were so laggy it took me like 10 minutes to load a topic to see when was up wit the event. Forget about posting or the fact people posting multiple topics for one thing, it makes it hard to see any info.
