No, and I’ll give you examples.
Warhammer – Keep trading all day to obtain event loot and rank
SWTOR – Kill trading in Ilum to get rank
Those are just two examples that took all of 30 seconds to remember that players will abuse to take the easy route.
Sorry, if you only want to play a small portion of the game, you don’t get a legendary. I hear WoW hands out plenty of gear for the entitled.
Material cost for this sword is through the roof.
It would depend on the amount of materials you have vs. how many you need. It should be in the 4g to 5g range if you have at least some of the materials.
That’s the one I was talking about. That’s the one I used. The other site is great for everything else but the cooking since it wasn’t done by the site owner.
No farm, no grind = no legendary.
Leave the life argument out of it. You have time to spend in WvW so you have time to play. If you choose not to grind or craft then you also choose not to get a legendary.
Nobody is going to convince you and nobody should even bother. If you like the game, play it. If not, good luck where you end up. These posts are as bad as the I quit because XXX posts.
There is no nerf, there is no coverup and people need to kitten about it already. For every person that claims they got none out of 5 there are just as many that get 10 or more out of 5.
It’s all RNG. Yes, it sucks, but it is what it is. I’ve actually gotten more since the patch than before. Again, RNG is RNG.
Great website with complete guides for all crafts.
Cooking was the cheapest by far. Next in line I would say Jeweler or Artificer. I’m not really sure how it cost you 8g to do Jewelery unless you had to buy everything. Mine was around 4g but had some of the upper tier mats. I have all crafts done and used this site for all. The cooking guide is a little off, but there are some better ones out there, including one on this forums but it’s back a few pages by now.
Who cares, the “sale” items were junk anyway. Money grab at it’s finest and you can tell that just by the first day item being those worthless keys.
Long story short a day before the lost shores patch I was “permanently” banned for botting, macros etc and by the time the support reviewed my case and lifted the ban it was already a bit too late so I missed the entire event.
I was farming like a zombie the sparks in malchor’s, steel tides, and the claw of jormag event to get enough money for my legendary/precursor and now I missed the chance because of a mistake made by arena net, should I try to ticket the support since I see that they will give rewards to those that disconnected in the last phase?
No, you should not qualify. You were not there, regardless of the reason.
This forum disgusts me. It’s ok for some events to be random items (like Karka) but it’s not ok for the FotM to be random? The entire game is one big clusterkitten of RNG.
Get over it or move on to another game. I’ll say the same regurgitated crap that people told the event folks…RNG is RNG. Run it again and again until your group gets lucky. End of story.
Darn that ANet for wanting to do something in the middle of their normal working hours anyway.
There are 39 Time Zones fer pete’s sake. You can’t satisfy everyone.
Wrong. You certainly can. You make your one time event cycle every 3 hours for 24 hours. Then again, I assume you are unemployed by your statements. Nobody’s “normal” working hours are at noon on Sunday unless you play in the NFL.
Dungeons already drained all my coins lol, so i simply decided, that in a dungeon, id only wear clothes if it was some stronger boss fight, not to waste repair money by being swarmed and killed by those little mobs.
(and you cant repair while inside the fractal anyway)
I would kick you instantly for this. This one statement invalidates your entire post.
My wife was in the same boat as you, while someone in our party got a precursor. He then logged in on an alt and looted the chest again really fast and got another precursor.
Perfect example of why this event was terrible. Legitimate people couldn’t loot the chest once and some clown logs over to an alt to loot it again. These are the people that should have their items removed.
I totally disagree with the fact that any account online for an hour should get a prize. It’s like giving the losers of a soccer game medals… It doesn’t make you a winner.
I spent 3 grueling hours of my sunday to get a chance at that big chest and I would be furious if ANET gave that karka earring/bag to everyone that participated… That actually made all the time i spent WORTH IT.
I was in an overflow and we got wiped a few times and a bunch of whiners were like “anet suxors im out” and you think those people should get credit? No.
For those of us who stuck it out, I believe we deserve what we got. For those of you who didn’t, better luck next time.
3 hours? I spent more time than you and got nothing. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I think every active (paid) account that participated in ANY part of the event, who did not receive the chest package of ring + bag, should receive it. There were WAY too many bugs/issues in ALL phases – the third phase being horrible (especially on an overflow, of which I imagine the majority of people were in.)
The funny part about this is that’s all I am personally asking for. I don;t even care about the random chance to get a precursor. I just want the bag and the trinket that everyone got. I don;t care that I couldn’t loot the chest. I can get over all of that as long as I receive the basic reward that everyone should have gotten for participating.
Legendaries take such a ridiculously insane investment that it would be unfair to NOT auto-upgrade them.
And no I don’t have any legendaries myself.
I’m with you, and also don’t have a legendary. That amount of time/money investment into the game/gem store would be unfair if it stayed put stat’s wise.
this^^
Agreeing with this too (also no legendary here)
Legendaries was also set up to be the best ever, it is supposed to show extrodinarily much work and investment into the game. If they suddenly were not the best, that would be void.
Actually, there is not another game that I can think of all the way back to EQ1 that actually autoleveled any weapons or armor just because it was legendary or top tier. New items come out, they make old ones obsolete.
I don’t care either way to be honest, but in every other game, these items take tons of work and they become obsolete there as well.
Sadly, I was so pissed at not being able to finish the event due to DC that I logged off for the night. Now I hear that people went from overflow to overflow to gain multiple chests and I am even more pissed.
Quite doubtful I will ever spend another cent on this game.
You need him to work, which he doesn’t.
This entire event is one of the most broken, pathetic events I have ever seen. Given the fact that it is only 3 days long in total, this is a disgrace.
I use the Karma set (Power/Vit/Tough) with Soldier runes. Zerker Jewelery, Zerker Weapon. I may not do as much damage as those glass cannons, but 1 simple mistake won’t have me dead either. 0/20/20/30/0 – FGJ, Shake it off, Endure pain, Signet of Fury. Seems to work for me and I’ve never had any complaints.
This is also not really a DPS spec and much more of a support/stay alive while damaging spec.

no one cares if they are contested cos it dont effect their plinx farm
This is the entire fundamental problem with Orr. Put a MUCH longer timer on the Plinx event and make people actually move around the zone to do the events. In fact, make it so each of the temples has to be controlled for ANY events in that vicinity to pop other than the taking of the temple.
Plain and simple supply and demand.
While banning bots makes everyone happy that they don’t have to deal with them, they will now have to pay higher prices.
Most of the folks in this thread simply want Orr to be less annoying so they can farm with ease and faster. It’s pathetic really.
Assume much?
People want Orr to be challenging, rather than the monotonous bore it is now, but some people seem to think Orr is engaging and challenging already. It’s pathetic really.
Read the actual complaints before you make baseless assumptions that have nothing to do with the topic. People don’t war Orr to be dumbed down, to the contrary, they actually want it to be difficult. Orr needs some actual engrossing gameplay, not a bunch of scattered mobs with snares, which to a few seem to equate fun and challenging… as if that makes sense.
Ive read the complaints. It’s nothing more than a bunch of entitled people whining to get everything dumbed down so they can move freely and finish up everything they want as fast as possible so they can pretend their life has meaning. They don’t want it hard. These are the same type of people who will play a game on an easy setting and complain they finished it too fast.
It’s been the same in every single game for the last 10+ years. So before you want to come in and try to lecture someone who’s played everything that’s been out, you might want to do some research. There’s not an MMO made yet that wasn’t nerfed into oblivion because people complained they couldn’t do it, or it was too “annoying” for them to bother with.
Most of the folks in this thread simply want Orr to be less annoying so they can farm with ease and faster. It’s pathetic really.
This is just another case of people whining to whine.
One man’s “whine” is another man’s legitimate concern.
In your very first paragraph you admitted that it’s “annoying”. Annoyance is NOT a good idea in a game. It just drives people away. Annoying does not equate to challenging much less fun.
No, read it again. I never said it was annoying. I said that’s what all the people in here are saying. I find it very enjoyable.
No, it’s not a legitimate concern. People asking for things to be dumbed down so they can farm in peace or finish their legendaries in day vs. months is nothing more than a whine.
The exact same people are the ones that would quit and cry there is nothing to do if Orr was just another easy random zone. I’ve seen it in every game. People cry something is too hard, it gets nerfed, they get their items, they cry it’s too easy, and eventually quit.
It’s a typical cycle for an MMO, and I, for one, hope it stops here.
Tone down the spawn slightly so people can move after a larger group kill and it would be perfect. That may possibly be a bug because like you mentioned it does not happen every time.
However, the density of the mobs, the conditions they use (even the anchor pull), and the feel of the zone is excellent for an end game zone.
Most of the folks in this thread simply want Orr to be less annoying so they can farm with ease and faster. It’s pathetic really.
Orr is one of the best zones I’ve ever seen in an MMO and I’ve played about every big one since Meridian59. The zone is a hassle and it was designed to be so.
I’m with kineticdamage.6279 – This is the best zone in this game, and any other, by far.
This is just another case of people whining to whine. if it was toned down or the respawns were slower, the zone would lose all of it’s appeal. Then you would have people complaining they are bored.
