I will add as a mini collector and a avid gem purchaser, I am rather ticked that the only way to get this mini is all based on RNG. I have already opened over 5k bags and nothing. I always buy the gem mini’s to complete my collection. I will have to stop now due to this matter.
boohoo to me I know, This is now the only aspect of the game I enjoy ( I am a digital Hoarder)
I understand, Vladimer. I am the same sort — I’m still playing sometimes for a MPB (Miniature Polar Bear) in Guild Wars during the Wintersday event.
If you continue the quest, I will wish you luck, as one collector to another.
I’m not sure you really understand the mentality of a collector, Gaile. I have every single mini in the game. Every. Single. One. For the sake of completing a collection, I purchased 2000 gems for Mr. Sparkles. For the sake of completing the collection, I’ve purchased every gem store mini, even the ones I thought were ugly and would never use. For the sake of completing a collection, I begged and bribed and formed a ToL team and trained for weeks to win a Mini Llama. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on gems, but always on gem store items, because I refuse to convert gems to gold for rewards that can be earned within game. If this mini were to be so unrealistically unobtainable that the statistical expected return would cost over a thousand gold in ToT bags and moreover this amount has to be amassed within a 2-week time frame, it would destroy my collection and eliminate my desire to continue pursuing a complete collection. This would eliminate my desire to further spend gem store purchases on minis, and also remove a core goal that drove me to play and enjoy this game.
I’m not trying to point fingers or start an argument. I’m only giving some player feedback on the matter. I only hope that my feelings are understood and considered, and I also seek to understand Anet’s perspective as well.
I think it’s great that some things are account bound, to indicate that the player participated in a specific event. I think it’s great that some things are really costly to obtain, to indicate the player has invested a lot of time and effort into the game. I think it’s great that some content is temporary/seasonal, to indicate that the player prioritized and participated in certain events during that time. However I think you need to carefully consider which combinations of these you put together, and combining all three, I propose, is a terrible idea.
I’m fine with Tequatl weapons because even if I kill Teq every day for a year and don’t get one, I know I’ll always have time to get one eventually if I’m dedicated enough.
I’m fine with precursors being the price that they are, because I know that I’ll amass the gold eventually, if I play long enough.
I’m fine with (and I have) every temporary living story skin that is no longer available, because they were all obtainable within a reasonable amount of time/effort/gold within the time frame that was allotted.
I am NOT fine with this Mini Gwynefyrdd because it is unreasonable to put in the amount of time/effort/gold required for the statistical yield of this item, within a two week period. Do you understand?
Nice post, well said. My feelings as well.

You can use one computer, you need 2 keyboards and 2 mice. It will split screen or you can use 2 monitors. I hope this helps, All jokes aside I did get a good chuckle. Hope this helps.
Just imagine the lagfest in WvW or a PvE boss battle with 2 players at once on something like this.
I have used it with a GTX680 4gb vid card, and a OC’d 3770. No lag at all for me, although I guess It depends on the PC. If he\she wanted to just basic pve with a friend it works fine. In this thread so far this is the only real option posted.
Some people with fixed income or any other reason may only have one computer. This is a nice option for them.

I am very pleased with the update, was very popular my server was flooded with people for once.
My only concern I have :
I have been playing since the 3 day pre start. I have accumulated several armor\weapon’s either buying or using karma. Some if not most have been destroyed in my journeys of leveling and changing my look. One in mind was the karma armor (temple armor) cost me 252,000 karma. I no longer have this look as I had re skinned it several times to get the right look. I no longer have this or all the others I had collected prior to.
Is there or will be a option to scan the account to unlock previous skins?
It would be great if there was.
Great thank you
Love the update
Seriously, I can’t help but feel extremely bad at those who made 2 incinerators for example. 500 hours wasted!
why ??
2 incinerators or 2 bolts, You can add infusions to both ( unable to with exotic)
No stat switching.Not best in class ( what if they change to a higher stat per legendary )
Just a skin that’s all.
1 incinerator + 1 incinerator ascended – currently the best you can get, and identical for now.
1 bolt + 1 bolt ascended – current the best you can get, and identical for now.“For now” are the key words, the main reason I decided to grind for legendaries was the security that comes from the Best in Slot. I can switch my build for WvW whenever I want or even boss like tequalt where my Berzerker stats are useless. Legendaries still have their advantages. Every ascended weapon takes 75? gold or so, along with 1-2 hours of farming for the Dragonite/Empyreal. Eventually ANet is going to release a new tier, or even raise the level cap, those with legendaries won’t have to bother upgrading.
Correct we are thinking the same way.
