You missed 1. On the 03.26 patch, it bugged both PVP monthly and daily. So for march you could get 31 for each day, 10 for monthly, 10 for PVP monthly, and 1 for PVP daily on patch day. 52 total for March.

^ This is how. Confirmed that you could get 10 for monthly PvE and PvP after the March patch.

Has anyone actually gotten an exotic from the bonus daily-like chest?

Yep, got a named exotic from the Maw bonus chest. Also have received up to 3 rares from the regular chest, for a total of 4 from one event.

Monthly Reset this weekend

this is Bull, if we have 31 days in a month then we should have the full time to do so. Anet should have made it clear to everyone that they were going to do this, because people wont know about it till it happens. They are all about making money off the players and dont care about game play at all.

Not quite sure I understand what your point is, but you do get the full time to do the monthly. March’s monthly started at the exact same time, on Feb 28th at 19:00 for me. So what’s the complaint?

Mobs without loot

There’s only a “chance” to loot a mob, even if you kill it solo. In my travels it seems to be roughly 50% to get any loot at all, or slightly higher.

explain the boss/chest farming system

Wesley Of Florin.2150

Did something change from this statement then?

“In the next release we will adjust the way that world mega bosses award their loot. The current chests will stay lootable once per day per character, but each boss’s guaranteed rare item drop will be moved to a separate chest (visually similar to daily achievement reward chests) that can only be acquired once per day across an account.

Our intention with this change is to keep providing rewarding loot for world mega bosses while avoiding overwhelming participation in boss fights (and overwhelming the economy with rares) from players cycling through each character slot for each boss every day."

I mean, if both the regular chest AND the bonus chest are lootable once per day per account, what was the point of separating them??

explain the boss/chest farming system

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Wesley Of Florin.2150

Wesley Of Florin.2150

First of all there’s a lot of simply wrong information being given out on map chat that is making things harder to figure out. With that in mind here’s the way I understand it…

You can get the loot chest after getting a gold achievement/reward once per day per boss per account. In addition to that you can get the bonus chest once per day per account. Is that correct?

If so, and even if not, I have two other questions:
1.) Does the per day mean every 24 hours or per reset (currently 15:00 central time) period? Meaning if I get the loot chest from Maw at 19:00 can I get it the next day at 15:01 or do I need to wait until 24 hours plus 1 minute or 19:01?
2.) There may be a bug in the Tequati boss since I farmed it once for loot then waited over 30 hours to do it again and got no chest despite the gold achieve. Either it is bugged or I simply do not understand the system after all which is the reason for this nooby question. I can get other chests like the Shadow Behemoth each day but not Teq, maybe dragons work differently than the Maw/SB/FE, I have not tested that theory with Jojo or Shatt.

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

I’ll fix your assumptions:

“You can get the loot chest after getting a gold achievement/reward once per day per boss per account character. In addition to that you can get the bonus chest once per day per boss per account.”

My definitions:

Loot chest – the large chest that gives about 5 items
Bonus chest – the little bouncy chest that gives a guaranteed rare or better

1) Per day means between server resets. In your example, you’ll get misleading answers because of the timing you chose. The server actually resets at 19:00 central time, so if you do an event at 19:00, you can’t do it again until the following day at 19:00. However, you don’t normally have to wait 24 hours. If you did the event at 18:59 you would be eligible to do it again 1 minute later.

2) I haven’t had any strange issues with any of the events, including Teq, so I can’t help you here. All I can say is that all world events have worked normally for me.

No reward for Tier 2 Guild Bounty Completion

You get 1 chest a week… Doesn’t matter if you do a T1 or a T3 its 1 chest after the first bounty killed. Doesn’t matter if you fail the bounty or succeed. You will only get 1 chest after defeating your first bounty target.

I believe the reset is Saturdays at 8PM EST.

^
All of that is 100% correct. I’m guessing you did the bounty (more than once) before the reset, or you had already done a bounty at a different tier.

One chest per week per mission type.

I read in another thread that this happens because the client-side names that you assign are actually stored in the GW2.exe file. So every time there is an update, patch, or anything that modifies the executable, the names are all wiped.

I don’t suppose that helps anyone solve the issue though. That pen and paper sure sound good right now…

There is nothing special about the final rest compared to other exotic staffs though, is there?

Only that it didn’t drop at all (for whatever reason) until a few weeks ago, so the supply is somewhat limited compared to other named exotics. It became a huge treasure hunt to find one, so everyone wanted it. Now it’s just, meh.

Mega Boss loot changes

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Wesley Of Florin.2150

Wesley Of Florin.2150

I can’t believe how many people are posting here and not understanding what Martin has said, so let’s try to break it down…


Chest A: Pre-buff chest which usually gives blues/greens, with a rare or better about once per week (from my experience)

Chest B: Buffed chest that gives a guaranteed rare or better drop, and up to 4 rares in a single chest (again from my experience)


Here’s how the new system will work:

My main character does The Shatterer event for the first time today. Upon completion I will get a Chest B which will be a small dancing chest in the lower-right corner of the screen. I could get 1 rare, or 3 rares, or 1 exotic, or 2 rares and a precursor, whatever! At a minimum, I will get 1 rare.

If I do The Shatterer with one of my alts during the same day – server day, so between daily resets – this time I will only get a Chest A. I could still get a rare, exotic, or precursor, but the chances are back to what they used to be before the buff. There is no guaranteed rare this time, but it’s still possible. I will most likely get blues and greens this time.

If I continue to do The Shatterer in the same day with all of my other alts, all of those chests will also be Chest As. I can still only get a chest once per character, per day. Any repeated kills of The Shatterer will result in event credit (XP, karma, small coin) only.

And the rates will be still better as they were made to be prior to the one chest per character fix and this one after. This is what I’m saying in addition to what you said above. I’ll be doing Ulgoth SB, Wurm and flame shaman, If I still get rares all the time (after my account rare or better) even still, then I’m right. And you’ll all say, “I told you so.”

I seriously doubt ANET will be nerfing the “Chest A” to pre chest/champs giving better loot levels. It will be a agreeable drop rate besides the 100% one (maybe 20%? I don’t know).

I hope you’re right, I’m just not counting on it.

Stealing from guild bank

Posted by: Wesley Of Florin.2150

Wesley Of Florin.2150

This is a legit question guys, stop over reacting by being little kids. He is not saying he intends too, just wondering if their is a punishment. I mean I could walk into my guild bank take everything and leave – its like if I left my game running, my mom came and took all my gear for her self.

Anet should Ban, perma and IP (NOT just punish) those who steal.

Well, I’m not saying it’s right, but actually I don’t think it is bannable because I would think it would be up to the guildmaster/officers to decide what should and shouldn’t be available to new guild recruits.

Leaving it wide open like that is just asking for an idiot to take things and leave.

Crappy as it is, I don’t think it goes against ToS.

100% this. No way would Support take any action on this “thief”. Actually, if the guild invited him/her, AND allowed them access to the guild bank, then how is it stealing? The guild bank shouldn’t be anyone’s personal storage, it’s open to anyone that has access.

I agree that what the O kitten uggesting is not morally right, but I guarantee ANet would have no problem with it.

Are you going for a legendary?

To the OP – the fact that “everyone will have one too” shouldn’t be a factor in your desire to obtain a legendary. That race was won about a month after the game was released. You should get it to make yourself happy, not to flaunt in front of other people to show how “cool” you are.

Just my opinion.

So people are going to log in, hit the 2-3 events on their server that happen to be up when they log in then guest to another 8-10 servers to hit the rest of the events that arnt up on their home server.

Myself personally i never guested ever even after the rare per chest patch, i just spent longer amounts of time on my weekends running events on my server with all my level 80 toons and getting my rares.

To your bolded statement above – obviously you never guested, else you would know that you can only guest to 2 servers in a 24-hour period.

This is good to know. Can you go freely back and forth between your home server and the other two or not in that 24 hour period.

Sorry if my reply seemed a little insulting – guess I’m in a crabby mood! Thanks for not calling me on it.

To answer your follow-up question, yes, you can freely switch among the 3 (your home and 2 guest servers) throughout the 24-hour period. Simply go back to the character select screen and change your server as you wish.

I have a feeling that during peak concurrency there will still be overflow issues and ofc ppl will still guest during said times.

People will still guest because the timers are to long, i mean seriously if anything its going to get worse now that its only 1 per account because people will want to hit each event every day or they will miss out.

Before it wasnt a huge deal, as long as you had 4+ lvl 80’s you could spend a afternoon hitting all events in all lvl80 toons and stock up on rares, now that wont be a option you will have to hit them all once a day.

So people are going to log in, hit the 2-3 events on their server that happen to be up when they log in then guest to another 8-10 servers to hit the rest of the events that arnt up on their home server.

Myself personally i never guested ever even after the rare per chest patch, i just spent longer amounts of time on my weekends running events on my server with all my level 80 toons and getting my rares.

I would just log in quickly and do dailys each day in 20-30 min and only do events if they happened to pop while i was in that map anyways, just got rares on weekends when i had the time it wasnt a huge concern and i didnt put alot of thought into it.

Now that this isnt a option and i have to get them everyday im going to guest everyday to maxamize my time spent. Ill probably extend my daily playtime to 60-90 min so i have time to do dailies then guest to whatever server has events up to catch them all in the time i have. Why wait a hour for a dragon when on another server one will be up in 60 seconds.

Did you even read my breakdown of the change? It affects nothing!

You can alt all you want and still have good chances at rares. The only difference its not 100% chance for all the possible rares (1-3 from what I see now before this fix starts). The rates are so high even without the guarentee, you’ll still get a rare on top of the change.

I’m right and you’ll see.

No way. See my interpretation several posts above yours. The subsequent chests will revert back to pre-buff levels, watch and see. In other words, it’s only worth doing each event once per day, period. That’s the whole point of this change…

Benefit of grouping in PvE events?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Wesley Of Florin.2150

Wesley Of Florin.2150

Recycle is right. Your parties total damage is used to determine if you did enough damage to qualify for loot. And as long as you ‘tagged’ an enemy and your party does enough damage, you will get loot.

So, more times than not, it is better to be in a group to get the maximum amount of loot possible.

Be careful how you word that. There is no guarantee that you will ever get loot, regardless of how much damage you or your group does. Try killing mobs solo for about 5 minutes and tell me how many mobs fail to drop loot. By solo, I mean nobody else around the area, so you are dealing 100% of the damage.

I think the whole “grouping for loot” is an urban legend…

I was guild leader and I'm now the lowest ranking member

Wesley Of Florin.2150

seriously you been a guild leader since release, yet you haven figured out yet that no one person can have more than 1 permission at a time? Hard to sympathize with you when you don’t even seem to be able to think logically

I agree, and fail to see how anyone could see this other than being purely OP’s fault. A lack of a warning does not take blame off OP. I don’t understand how one can think that making a new rank is more efficient than editing the current rank, or how she expected GM rights to magically transfer to a brand new rank.

My 11 year old knows how the guild system works, yet a grown woman who is obsessed with her guild to the point where it affects her emotionally didn’t take a minute to learn how it functions?

While I agree that a warning should be implemented, it does not take away from the fact that the OP is responsible for their own actions, no one forced her to make a new “Godess” rank and assign herself to it.

Are you all the worst kind of people or is that just how the internet is presenting you?

Let’s leave the holier than thou, should have known better crapola and just agree that in a game where you have a confirmation to salvage a green item there should be freakin confirmation for Guild Leadership change.

It’s really that simple. People make mistakes, get tunnel vision, happens all the time. It’s why we have confirmations in nearly everything!

Stop being jerks and just admit that a confirmation for Guild Leadership changes should be in the game and stop ragging on the OP.

I think ANet should have known better, and I’d be right.

Um, the post that you quoted does admit that there should be a confirmation, as do most of the posters in this thread, including me.

Sadly ANet will not -and should not- do anything about this issue. They have no business messing with guild matters whatsoever, for any reason. Yes, I’ve read this entire thread and while I sympathize with the OP, I don’t see any reason for Support to intervene. It wasn’t a hacked account, or a bug, or anything else that caused this issue. Yes, as we’ve all already established, there should be better controls to keep a guild leader from inadvertently giving up that role.

What if the OP stepped down as leader intentionally, but then changed her mind and now wants leadership back? How does Support know the actual circumstances, not just in this case but in any future requests they might receive asking for the same thing? All they have is the testimony of the affected person, which isn’t much to go on (no offense). That is my reasoning for why they shouldn’t intervene, and I think that is also their reasoning.

I’ve done this a couple of days ago, was very hard to understand what I had to do in order to get this done, but I did it with 3 guildies.

There will be a pre-event, helping two NPC’s fight some mobs and such. After you done that, the captain will come to kill. There is one merchant NPC I think, or one NPC near a merchant, which name is Jenny. That NPC has to be alive once you kill the captain, in order for her to flee from the island.

After you killed that captain, wait for about 10 – 15 minutes, the next event should start in the chain, which I think is to eliminate some cannons.

At the end of the event, you’re supposed to kill the hydra queen.

This is pretty much spot on. The NPC is a merchant and her name is Lionguard Jenny. She gets attacked every minute or 2 by a constantly-spawning risen mob. My job was to keep her alive while the rest of the team took out the captain. Once he was dead Jenny took off for the beach with the other 2 NPCs and they disappeared. 20 minutes later the rest of the event chain started.

Because of guild missions, our guild dwindles

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Wesley Of Florin.2150

Wesley Of Florin.2150

We have a decent sized guild at 248 members. We have just enough influence to be able to queue guild treks when our economy level 6 is done. However, we keep losing members to guilds that already have other types of missions unlocked. We run bounties at least twice a week right now, but these other guilds are hostile towards us when we try to claim our bounties.

We have only had 1 player ever leave our guild before guild missions existed. Now we seem to have at least 1 per day. Those who respond to me when i ask why say they have joined a larger guild on our server that run these missions at least once a day.

Was this Anet’s intention? Our ability to unlock further missions relies on our active members. However, those members are the ones leaving to join larger guilds. I doubt we will lose more than 10% at any point, but this is still a knife in the heart.

The biggest problem with guild bounty, when there are multiple guilds hunting at the same time. The smaller guild that engage the boss first usually get shafted, the bigger guilds just stand there and looking at you rather than helping out. When there are a lot of people around the mob, it gets way harder. A small guild with 5-6 people can’t kill it if it scale up to 30-40 people difficulty. Also most people don’t understand, you can only get reward once a week per tier mission type, regardless of tier, per account anyway so even if a guild does it everyday it won’t get you your stuff faster.

Since you posted this 14 hours before I am posting this reply, my reply is relevant.

I, along with everyone else according to map chat, experienced the same things you have described above. That is until today. I did all of the dragons, Maw, SB, and the Golem, and there was absolutely no lag at any of the events. Yes, there was still a giant zerg at each of them, so the relief wasn’t because of lack of players. I assume something was fixed server-side. Most everyone in map chat shared similar relief from the lag starting today (after your post).

One downside: I somewhat enjoyed seeing everyone do the Fear Shuffle…

Forging precursor

Posted by: Wesley Of Florin.2150

Wesley Of Florin.2150

Yeah, there is a chance, key word is chance but it’s low. The higher the quality and rarity the better, or so they say. Here is what I do. You don’t have to do it, and I am sure there are better alternatives.

I farm CoF with my warrior and mesmer. I get about 1,000 tokens a day and at least 30-50 ectos.

Daily I make about 30g

I spend 10g on nothing but rare greatswords ( Daily ) I have been doing this for 3 days = 30g spent, and I have not gotten 1 precursor, however I have gotten plenty of exotics which I am saving up to attempt to use those.

Legendary is all about determination and dedication ( Don’t sacrifice your health ) if you want it you’re gonna have to farm your kitten off.

Just out of curiosity, how long do you do this per day? I mean, with 2 characters, 3 paths, and DR hitting on each subsequent run, this must take all day to amass 1000 tokens/day.

So crafting rares? Do things like sigils and “named” rares make a difference? IE “travellers torch of the Orian”, as opposed to just “torch”.

No difference at all. A rare is a rare and an exotic is an exotic. I know that sounds silly but it has been confirmed that all items of the same rarity are treated the same by the MF.

You’re better off selling exotics, especially the ones with higher value, and buying more of the cheapest rares with the profit.

Don’t confuse the crystals that spawn when he’s at 50% health (or something like that). Those are not the crystals you are looking for.

In my experience, and especially now, the crystals are only up for mere seconds due to the sheer number of players in the area, so there is a bit of luck involved in tagging them.

There are no specific farming spots for rares like there are for non-rare material.

I must disagree, there are plenty of places in the open world that you can farm all types of lodestones.

There are Embers in Malchor’s Leap (multiple locations) and during an event in Cursed Shore near the stairs to Arah. You can farm these guys to your heart’s content – I have gotten Lodestone drops from them.

Sorry I’m not in the game right now to get exact names and locations, but I figure you can do a little of the research!

Posted by: Wesley Of Florin.2150

Wesley Of Florin.2150

I was only 2 dungeon runs away from finishing my (1st?) monthly, since I started in beta. I spent the last 3 days trying to get in 5 runs and it was a horrible experience. This is running CoF, AC, and CM on a 80 exotic mesmer and/or a 65 well equipped thief (no MF!).

Forming a full group was harder than I thought, even using a couple guildies if you can find any that want to do a dungeon. I found no one communicates and was surprised how many didn’t know what to do. Even when questions were asked, no one says anything.

I guess the zerg groups that always run these in 15-30 mins. making 5-7 gold a run must be few and far between. All I saw were frustrated groups, dropped or dead toons or only certain classes allowed. It’s almost like everyone in this game was told not to talk to strangers??

3 days for 3 dungeons…um no thanks. Atleast I really tried to finish my monthy, but never again. Total waste of time for maybe a profit of a couple silver after all the repairs and traveling….Thankfully alts are still semi-entertaining for now.

Of course this entire thread was amusing, but this statement (bolded above) was the best so far. Last I checked it was 28 days for 5 dungeons?

why some people have trouble with jp/wvw

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Wesley Of Florin.2150

Wesley Of Florin.2150

This. Also, some named areas are in the JPs, and if you can’t do the JP, then you don’t get the map credit. I can’t do most of the JPs because they make me dizzy and nacreous. This means I can never get 100% World Map completion.

I’m pretty sure you still can get 100% world completion, the thing you’re reffering to is something different. Getting all named areas is a different achievement, like ‘’Maguuma Explorer’‘. Don’t think WvW maps count, just like dungeon maps

Unfortunately, at least 1 vista is located at the end of a jumping puzzle. So you literally must complete the puzzle in order to get 100% map completion. Also, the WvW maps do count, and they can be a real pain to complete.

There already are some weapons that only drop from specific bosses, I believe. There’s a specific scepter that drops from Tequatl, a focus that drops from the Great Worm in Caledon Forest… and probably others I’m sure.

Don’t forget Final Rest which drops from <Dev please fill in blank>

Yes. I’ve pulled a few rares from the Maw chest on my 80s.

Confirmed. I pull a rare (level 76-80) from the Maw chest about 50% of the time.

Question: does the magic thingie work after mob dies but before looting? If so, seems you could make a hot key to trade out outfits before and after looting.

MF applies (and loot is decided) when the mob dies, so that won’t work. This has been stated by the Devs.

Alas, I find it highly unlikely. Why put an item on the TP if you weren’t trying to make a profit?

That being said, I will again say very good for Emperor if that is what happened. While I am sill extremely suspect, I will redact my previous statement and offer an “anything can happen” clause, lol.

Some (a lot?) people prefer to have their money instantly, so they will meet a buy offer instead of posting an item for sale and waiting hours or days. Sure they will lose a little potential profit, but it happens all the time. Nobody said they weren’t making any profit, just not as much as they could if the waited it out.

Currently i am at 334 rares and 936 exotics thrown into the MF, zero precursor…

Well I don’t believe these numbers, but I’ll entertain them for a moment. Do you realize that you could have purchased 2-3 (low estimate) precursors if you had sold those items on the TP?

Yes, the 334 rares is a typo; it is 344 rares. Exos are up to 956 thrown into the MF now.

Anyhow, you are completely wrong with your assumption because you don’t know my strategy. My current cost for those tries is under 100g; would have been an even deal if the RNG wasn’t punishing me with Donald Duck sized bad luck.

So you don’t understand what I meant, apparently. If, in fact, you have thrown in 956 exotics (don’t even care about the rares at this point), that means over the course of these attempts you have acquired about 717 exotics. How much do you think you could have sold those for on the TP?

On a related note, it sounds like you’ve discovered an amazing way to make infinite gold. What’s your secret?

Claw of Jormag and event credit

I’d also like to mention that I wasn’t dead at the end, I didn’t disconnect, and I had been doing all sorts of other things prior to the event so DR wasn’t a factor.

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before (a quick search was fruitless), but I was surprised that I didn’t receive any credit or loot from Jormy even though I was present and active during the entire event. Here’s how it went down:

Phase 1 – I stood with the mob on the right side shooting at the wall to bring it down, then rushed up and laid on the hurt while he was on the ground. This sequence happened twice and I dealt many 10’s of thousands of points of damage – easily enough for kill/event credit.

Phase 2 – Here’s where it gets a little shaky. I stood on the right with the crowd again, but I focused my fire on the ice pillars, reviving downed players, and taking out mobs as opposed to hitting Jormy. I wasn’t able to get any major damage to stick, but I did a little damage.

At the end of the event, I didn’t receive a medal, which means I obviously didn’t get a chest. This seems wrong, as I clearly participated and dealt plenty of damage in the first phase of the event, and played an active supporting role in the second phase. This happened one other time in the same event, but only because I arrived late (5% HP left) and wasn’t able to land any significant damage.

Is the first phase not calculated? Is this a bug? Can I just show up at about 25% left and still get my gold reward?

Is the math off today?

That makes sense too when you consider that listing can be done anywhere but vendors are only in outposts. You can lose 15% on the listing to sell as fast as possible, 100% to trash them, or wait a very long time – if ever – to break even.

Doesn’t make sense to me. Do people really go so far off the beaten path, and stay there, that they can’t find a merchant to offload their goods?

Guild leader made a new title with no permissions and put himself in that group without understanding the consequences. Now an inactive member is the guild leader and support can’t/won’t intervene.

I’m glad I run with guildies most of the time – they don’t care (or even ask) what gear anyone else is running, regardless of what we’re doing. We also take whatever characters people have available (gasp) when we do dungeon runs, so CoF P1 might take 10 minutes or more (oh no!).

I think most of the people in this thread, that are worried about what other people are using, are playing the game wrong. But that’s just a casual player’s opinion…

Good advice, but most likely didn’t happen.

Oh and if you did actually salvage it, you won’t get it back through a ticket. Sorry.
