Troll Post Nice try:
How can you park all your alts where the chest is. The chest disappears in a certain amount of time, and 90% of the time your alts are no where near the event, so that will take time to just get your alts there, especially wadding through vets on the way, and on top of that, most likely you will get in a different overflow. Sooo I call bull Dinkles on the post.
Fun if you got a precurser, grind if you didn’t
That’s really not true and it’s an unfair judgement on the players. I didn’t get whatever the heck a precursor is and I thought the event was fun overall.
A Precursor is a weapon that when added with a shopping list of mats, gold, Karma, Skill points, 400 crafting in weaponsmith, and special gift recipes bought for10gold a piece. You take ALLLLL that stuff to make 4 things that you throw in the Random Number Genarator Mystic Toilet, and in hopes to get 1 legendary piece.
The Precursor weapon is good chunk of the grind taking out to reach a legendary status weapon.
TBH I’d rather have an ascended weapon over a legendary any day. But knowing how the devs are I would be surprised if it did not take a legendary weapon to get an ascended one. But this game is all about the grind so it will most likely be a grind to get an ascended weapon. Even if it does not take a legendary to get one.

Sorry but why is southsun cove worth farming? There are vets everywhere and it takes a group to bring them down, and Barely drop anything. As well as all the other things in this zone, barely drop anything, and there is only 5 waypoints. Do to the big population of wandering mobs, and the dificulty of them.
We need a couple more waypoints, and better loot from drops. There are a few events running but the guards are SOOOOOO weak the die constantly, so most of the time you and a couple of other players(If there are other players) got to solo Vets, with a big skill dificulty compaired to your 80 or 80’s?
Anyone else have bad luck during the event?
I was able to get in the event. However it was in an overflow, and we had Lag. invisible mobs, and all the other things there where complaints about.
yeah it would had been nice when I did phase 3 that I did it on my server instead and not in an overflow. It would had maybe increased my chances of a precursor. But it is what it is.
Shame I deleted them. oh well sux to be me.
To the OP, did you pay for my account? Well did you? I don’t think so. Just because you done dungeons and stuff, does that mean we ALL have to play the way you do?
I, meaning ME, paid MY 60$ not yours for MY game. I want MY 60$ worth, I don’t know about you.
That said:
If there are bugs, lags and other issues to the game, you bet your ars, I will voice the problems, so things get addressed. If it wasn’t for complainers, You would had paid 60$ for a buggy, laggy game, and I will bet, you will be in here complaining about it.
Ever here of BETA testers. They are all complainers, and they complain so YOU have a smooth less buggy lag free game upon release. If it wasn’t for complainers then aNet, NcSoft employees will be out of a job. Why have people on a payroll if they are doing nothing to fix the game?
Says the people in these forums in hopes aNet will see their thank you’s and give them that precursor for nothing.
Bottom line is if no one complains then NOTHING gets addressed for future events and such. Why play a game that you are not happy with? Why let bugs, lag, invisible mobs and NPC’s exsist ingame in the first place? Why let things go by unaddressed?
I paid 60$ just like everybody else, they got my 60$. And what people want is their 60$ worth of any game. Would you play a buggy, laggy game that you spent 60$ on just because you refuse to not be one of the one’s that does not complain? Its kinda like buying designer clothes, you want those pants, or that jacket, or that shirt, or even them shoes or sneakers, but they do not have them in your size. Do you buy them anyways? No, you look elsewhere, or buy an alternative.
ANet, NcSoft or whatever. They are a business, and there business, is desinging patching games. If they are not desinging they are fixing bugs, Why? because that is what the company does. If no one complains, and nothing gets fixed or addressed, then what are the employees gonna do? Can’t keep them on the payroll since they are doing nothing.
There is this thing called BETA testing, what it does is allow players to attend to do nothing but complain, so the game runs smoothly.(some games have ALPHA testing. but this is a whole other topic) Once testing is done then it goes to release. When release is done the game, gets tested then repatched, etc.
That is when the complainers come in, they give their personal feedback of their experience’s and problems in game. So you, the Non-Complainers have a bugg free game so we can get our 60$ worth and be happy, and the employees still have a job.
The worst part is, nowhere did ANET say when the event was going to happen, so half of the world that doesn’t have clocks couldn’t even participate. Plus I had IRL stuff to do that was wayyy more important but not important enough to not complain about not being there.
and it DID NOT changed ALL of Tyria like the add said it will. A good example is WoW’s Cataclysim. The add said it will change ALL of Azeroth and it did.
Troll post?
So what you are saying is Me, Me, ME. You think YOU are the only one that got to 80 by yourself? I got 3 80’s by myself., and I am sure there are other people that got 5 80’s by themselves. You don’t see me or them coming in here and demanding a Precursor of our choice.
Significantly cheaper to acquire for gold? I don’t know about this gold thing at all, unless you buy from third party who sells gold, or the gem store (which is a waste do to the small amount you get when you cash gems in)or am from another planet, gold is very, very hard to come by. I got a total of around 10g spread out on 5 characters. A TOTAL not one character. Gold is extremly hard to come by legitly in Gw2. Mobs that are champs and vets drop mostly trash, that MAY give you a silver for a lot of a specific trash items off a vendor.
Easy for crafting? Had you even looked at the mass list of mats and gold totals, just to bring your crafting up to 400 weaponsmith. I say gold totals here do to buying so many mats just to make 1 mat to get to 400 weaponsmith faster.
Now take a gander at all the Ledgendary mats. 250 of each mat of several mats+Precursor+500.000 Karma+some skill points+400 weaponsmith+recipes for gifts that go for 10 gold easily+more skill points+Mystic toilet that works off a RNG, that may or may not give you the legendary or precursor.
And you come in here a demand a precursor from aNet of your choice, what makes you so special? Just Saying.
And for the record I DID NOT get a precursor from the chest.

Heres a thought. Drop the whole RNG system for everything.
RNG=Random Number Generator
I was also not at the final phase, but had been playing for several hours and got disconnected twice. Money isn’t as important to me as time is, so if they mess this up too I’ll just look elsewhere for my MMO thrills.
There are Many, many free MMO’s that are free downloads out there. People will say they are all grind fest, but isn’t Gw2 a grind fest, even though there was hype about it not being a grind fest?
So good luck on your endevors
How can you explain then that several guildies got a precursor (the short bow mostly) on that particular event ? Dozens of people participate in my guilds not hundreds or thousands.
He just did a breakdown on Dusk, not the other 19. Depending on the price as to which another precursors goes for up in auction. You may or may not get different numbers. You said it yourself, “several guldies got the short bow.” If one got Dusk, then that guildie was one of the lucky 0.2% of people.
I agree on this whole post. Bravo!
Everybody and there moms should not be allowed in 80 world events = less chances an end game will be endgame do to, more bodies placed on the RNG system = less chance for 80’s getting upgrades of level 80 gear and weapons. Meaning all 80’s should be competing with other 80’s, not 20’s, 30’s 40’s etc just because some lower level is in the 80 event, and got auto adjusted.
You seen attachments from player’s in these forums, and what else you see is mostly the up arrow and 80 next to players name showing they got adjusted for the 80 event. It is understandable in WvW, Structural Player vs Player and Player vs Enviroment, although can be a annoying at times when a level gets reduced down to whatever level the zone they are in, because level 80 griefers will grief.
Not enjoying the gear grind what so ever. If I want to grind for EVERYTHING there are many Free to Play MMO’s out there that I can download for nothing, and play them. What will help with the grind some, is increase drops from the loot table. Now I am not saying everybody gets rare’s and exotic’s with very little effort of work. WoW already go that covered.
But to me it seems like the majorty of said Vets, champs, and world boss’s have a huge increase of vendor trash vs Masterworks, Rare’s, and Exotic’s. The Fines should be dropped from level 50 mobs and down. No fines should ever be dropped from 55 and above, do to players by now, in the 55ish to 80 level brackets start to think about saving up for the mass number of mats and coin to reach Legendary status. Lets face it a Masterwork is worth more then a Fine off a vendor = more coin in the pocket.
The break down should look something like this + less vendor trash:
5-50 loot table from regular mobs, Whites and Fines. Some trash. More trash in the 1-18 level bracket off regular mobs. I think the Masterwork gear starts at 20 level. So more coin drops added to help the lowbies be able to buy gathering tools, repairs, and maybe even a possible upgrade for their gear. As their level progress’s, they should start to see more coin and gear and less trash. I am sure there is a coin cap based on level brackets, so don’t go crazy with dropping mass’s amount of coin, although it would be nice, it will be OP.
55-65 loot table, some Masterworks, a Rare or two, and less trash. By now most players have Masterworks on or Rares bought from the TP. No need to have to many Fines in this bracket. Most players will just vendor the Fines or rip them appart for mats.
68-75 loot table, some Masterworks, and maybe more Rares and an Exotic or two. Again some Fines to vendor or rip appart.
76-80 loot table Rares. and some Exotics. There is no excuse to even have a lot of Fines in this bracket from drops. More Masterworks over Fines to vendor or rip appart for mats. Almost every player by now are wearing Rares and a couple pieces of Exotic’s.
Most players encounter their first champ at level 10ish. I also do not think there is Masterwork gear at this low of a level. I am pretty sure Masterwork gear starts at 20ish. That champ should not have vendor trash to loot. Better yet ALL champs and vets should not have vendor trash to loot at all, an ALL champs and vets should drop something. So many times if a Champ or vet get downed, they either have NOTHING at all or vendor trash. Not even coin loot.
Right now its mostly Trash, Trash, and more Trash. Mixed in with a piece of gear or two, and some coin.
And besides the rant above. I feel the zone level caps should of had a World event of the level cap of each zones. So lets break it down in say 4 events. Instead of one big mass one.
1-20 World event
20-40 World event
40-60 World event
60-80 the world event we just had so 60 should had been the lowest level to enter the 80 event.
Sure it probaly would had been a lot of work, but level 80’s competing with lower levels for the top spot in the RNG? Of course the drops are not going to be out of this world. So many people competing all at once for that top spot in the RNG.
(edited by drifter.8453)
How about Anet just send a random Precursor to everyone via mail 2moro?
1. you solve the problem of those who could not attend
2. those who got disconnected during the event
3. those who played on a lower level alt
4….and those who have played from day 1 who got junk from the chestProblem solved
Because Everybody did not get a precursor from the chest. The few that got one where the luky ones that the RNG favored.
I spent about over a gold in a half just on repairs. We wiped several times and it is just me, but if I get down once I repair as soon as I can. and each time it was over a silver and a half. per repair.
“due to precursors being handed out”
They where not handed out LIKE EVERYBODY THINKS THEY WHERE. Only a few got them from the chest. Most Where 2 Exotics, 3 Rares, a rare stat stone, and a 20 slot rare bag.
The 20 slot bag was the only thing people got useful, except the few that got a precursor of course.
i dont’ get why ppl think mf effects chest loots still….it never has.
^This
I been telling these hardheads for the longest time MF gear is all a gimick, it is a tool used for coin sinking that the devs implemented. a few people tested 100% MF gear relentlessly and did not find a huge increase on rare/exotic loot drops.
Don’t worry everyone that got loot got a bunch of stuff they cannot use. The only thing I got that I can use is a level 80 amulet that is account bound and I am level 57.
This is not true at all. Several people got 20 slot bags or the precursor items for legendaries. At the very least, 2-3 exotics were awarded. So there’s plenty of reason to worry and be upset.
Everyone got a 20 slot bag that was account bound as well as an amulet that was level 80. I was there fighting and got some of the stuff from the chest and everyone was talking about the weapons and armor were things they could not use.
Yeah the only thing I got that was good was the 20 slot bag. I got one Exotic Shield that was not even an upgrade on my other exotic shield I already have. The other thing I got was a few rares that where not upgrades on any level 80 alts. All my alts have Exotics, and a rare stone that has + bonus’s on it, that I can slot in a piece of armor. Unfrotunly no Precursor like some got. But oh well that is just my luck, there will be more events, right?
the event did not give EVERYBODY a precursor. I just wanted to throw that out there. A couple of lucky people got one. So don’t think all those that participated got one.
Yeah I guess it was all on luck for the event to run smoothly. My server had lag, lag, and more lag, invisable boss’s, and to many people lieing around dead making stupid Karka Jokes instead of releasing, especialy when at one point the waypoint was just across the bridge. Nah they just lied dead.
And everybody did not get a Precursor drop from the chest. I and many others didn’t have the luck as a couple other people with the lame RNG (Random Number Generator) system. So woahs me.
There must be some other way to do One Time Events. Apparently ANet feels that early afternoon (for NA) is a fine time to go gaming but those that have to work or have other responsibilities would disagree. I’m sure people in other parts of the world found the timing equally awkward.
I don’t know if it’s technically possible, but if you’re going to have a One Time Event, stagger the event roll out among the different groups of servers so that it occurs sometime in the evening in each area. This would make it more accessible and might alleviate some of the problems people were experiencing.
Good Idea but unfortunaly it goes by the devs schedule of work. A lot of people do not like to work night work, or weekends. So I think the events go by of the amount of employees available during the time of the event. Something that should had been thought about over different timezones for each server.
ALL KARKA REGEN HEALTH THE SECOND TIME AROUND. Do to the first healh bar is their shell, then the second is without the shell. It was explained va’gely by the devs.
I do agree the Karka barely drop anything at all if they do even drop something and most do not drop anything.
This could be do to the guessting. ANet does not want level 5’s going in and getting great drops. It might have something do to balance. We just have to HOPE the loot table gets changed drasticly after the event is done. If not people will keep on farmming Orr Risen instead = no point of this new creature race and or map area.
The Fractural Dungeon is a nice addon, being able to adjust the dificulty is also a good thing. I am on Yaks bend server and when the dungeon first came out, there where people standing in front of the gate spamming LFG Fractural. But not one person created a group I said **** this I am starting a group with random people.
I did: /s All you guys just standing around here. /s Thats it I am starting a group with random people. /s enough of this LFG map spamming I know you guys want in. /s I am here just selecting random people. /s who wants in?
So I got a group going we got up to the wisps, tried it several times and failed. No VoIP, so communication made it hard, and there where just to many traps and that part was irritating so the group dispersed. I guess the dungeon is desinged for players with mics. Mics are usually accessable when you are in some guild. I just transfered over to Yaks bend about three days ago and am guildless.
So those that want to get into fractural dungeon be sure you are in a guild that has Ventrillo, Teamspeak, mumble, or skype. The dungeon needs voice communication, and the game has no VoiP built in. That was the only time I did that dungeon, and had not once did it again. I also would love to see a LFG system, because the above statement is how people play.
Players want a party, but players do not want to lead the party. They rather spam LFG so they do not have to lead. This is like the 90% player base. Want to group, but don’t want to lead.
Please and thankyou add a LFG system and some type of VoiP, so PuGs can get in these dungeons.
I just hope this is just gonna be the way it is now just for the weekend thing. I hope the place changes to make it worth farmable after the weekend. As of now the place is more painful then fun. It is loaded with vet and champ mobs, has basic mobs that melt through your armor fast, and pulls you down that drop nothing.
Kinda like how the cursed shore risen are already. TBO it is a painful place but atleast the risen are farmable. Why would I go through the headache of the Karka places, when I can get that headache from cursed shore risen instead. Heck, atleast the risen you can 1v1 them to a certain extent and get somekind of drop off them eventhough it is mostly vendor trash.
I applaud this new zone. But I had not seen a single drop off the Karka besides crab meat, if they drop anything at all, and most of them do not drop a single thing. I my’s well go back to the Cursed Shore Risen, and farm them again.
That said I hope this loot table changes some. we now have to work towards ascending gear, and I am not sure if this is how the zone will stay just for the free trial weekend event, because if the new zone stays this way, I am sure the zone will be desolate do to the poor drop rates on trash and needing a group just to navigate the zone.
We got that same problem in Orr right now but atleast they drop things more often, even if it is trash most of the time, it is still something. Bottom line as it stands right now the Karka have no reason to farm them. 1v1 is almost impossible to do with out burning all your cooldowns, and make you run and repair constanly. What fun is not getting any drops, and constantly wasting coin to repair?
nice try on not revealing the name of the game. Per’say but you gave it away from saying purple sabre mount.
LoL I see bots CONSTANTLY.
It just seems impossible that the developers go through this content the same way we are and walk away from it thinking “well that was a lot of fun”.
They do not test their shiat. There are so many obvious bugs still left in game. The players are the ones that test it, and since I had not once seen a post at all in these forums from anet about their considerations of the player base. Honesly I think they do not give a rats ars about what their customers are concerned about.
The only post you see in here from aNet are when they move a thread.
I would like to add. What is with the one track mind on everything created. I applaud the new Sea of Sorrows area, but 90% of the creatures are vets and champs that DROP NOTHING BUT TRASH, if they even drop anything at all.
Voices has been raised on the risen of annoying snares and contested mobs, and slow downs, and how much it annoys most players. What do these new creatures in SoS have. ALL the same as the Risen. Annoying snares, etc, etc. Also the zone seems to be the Mists but a PVE version of it? You can not navigate this zone unless you have a zerg with you or you will die fast.
All this hype about ascending gear and in the new SoS area if you do get a drop, it is just the same ole same ole, I had not yet seen anything new dropping except the normal trash we all ready have, or nothing at all?
yeah he is really annoying. It gets autoactivated when every player get near him.
this is an English typing forum. I think you went to the wrong forum.
One thing I do know is: “I am not going to sacrafise an important stat slot just so I can get better loot drops from mobs.” I think the MF gear is a piss poor game design, period.
Sure I will stick around until the next big game comes out, and you can bet your ars I will be there. Why play a huge treasure hunting game like Gw2, that the only way one can get half decent loot is to have MF bonus’s on their gear?
Designing a game around gear that gives better loots is not a bright decision on the devs part at all. So I have to waste a stat slot, just to get better loots? No thank you.
I will stick around until the next big games comes out. I refuse to change my gear around, and lose important stats, just so I get better drops. I am sorry but this is not gonna happen.
Way to go aNet on makeing a huge game that is just based on Magic Find Gear. Forget about the players that just want better stat slots. So gw2 is just basicly one big treasure hunt?
As it stands now. You HAVE TO have MF gear on just to get anything worth looting? What a piss poor design to what could had been a nice game. The game is not worth the time and effort anymore. Unfortunly there are no other big games coming out anytime soon.
When they do, you bet your ars I will be heading there. I am not dealing with: " The only way you get better loot drops is, with Magic find gear on." anymore.
Too bad everyone stands out at each dungeon entrance spamming the /s/ and /m/ chat channels for groups… along with Lion’s Arch.
They will add one eventually. Give it 3 years though.
I am guessing the reason why most players do this, is because they want a group but does not want to lead the group through the dungeon. It may be their first time doing the dungeon, so they do not have a clue as to where to go, what to watch out for, or what to do.
So I think we should have some type of other way to get into these dungeon groups.
Maybe a looking for group system, that works on a global, and if you enter the LFG system you would have to had ran the dungeon, say 5 times first, in order to unlock the LFG system. That way a person can join in on the group, but can not start up a group themselves, using the LFG system until they did the dungeon 5 times.
So 1 -4 times running that particular dungeon only will allow you to join in on a group in the LFG system.
After 5+ times of running a particular dungeon you will now be able to unlock the feature of creating a group in the LFG system.
“I never see Guardians using Greatswords!”
or
Warrior
Mesmer
Not useing a greatsword.
we already have to much clipping in gw2. I rather not see capes at all.
And what makes you the speaker of the community?
The title should be “Here is what I would like to see changed in GW2.”
I think MF gear is a wasted stat slot. The devs just added MF to make players think they will get better loots when wearing it. MF is just another tool used for the devs so players will waste all kinds of coin to purchase gear with MF bonuses on it, and other MF bonuses. A way to gold sink more coin. Why wouldn’t the gear have MF on it by default if this wasn’t the case?
I doubt the devs designed the game to grief ALL other players that do not have MF gear. Meaning the person with MF gets better goodies ALL the time, compaired to the one that does not. Why would any company design a game that will give better loots, only if that person has MF or any other weird stat then the person who does not.
I much rather have a player in my group with a better stat in that slot. IE power, toughness, vitality, damage, etc. then someone with a wasted stat slot such as MF.
I’ve never seen or heard of it. Is it new with the Lost Shores patch? Please share if you know how it’s acquired.
Yes, it is new. You can start collecting mats for it now with Consortium Chests, but bar that, you’ll have to wait until Lost Shores for the mats.
http://www.gw2db.com/recipes/11624-apothecarys-intricate-silk-insignia-s
You can get the Karka shells from the TP as well.
Looks like GW2 is turning into a Pay to Win game. If I want Pay to Win. There are so many other MMO’s out there that fit that discription.
In what way? You realize the karka shells from the TP are from people who are opening Cosortium Chests, right? The mat can be farmed from the zone starting tomorrow…
We will see. If the TP gem store is bringing in the income, then why would they NOT add unique things in it to give a somewhat better advantage over whats in game already? Every game I seen that had a store like whats in GW2, eventualy want in that direction of a Pay to Win game. Although Devs swore it would not, but it did.
It is based on one of the most powerful words in the english language.
GREED
as long as there are buyers there will ALWAYS be botters.
My weapon at the proper level zone DOES do the most amount of damage as shown in the weapons discrption to a tee on the NPC’s of that zone. Not once has it ever done any lesser damage then what is shown on the discription.

I only see them making things more annoying then they where. However maybe the class nerfs are a need to Lost Shores or other content they might have in mind later down the road.
Duels No- I do not want to get spammed by a player when I am busy with other tasks costantly to duel me for their eggo bost.
Mounts no- We already have waypoints, problem is so many important waypoints can be contested at times.
Inspection no- This will just fuel elitlist jerks fire on the type of gear you have on.
you got to love when the game allows you to evade a powerful attack for your character to roll in place and get the full force of the attack head on and either dies or is very close to dying.
Or the famous, I rolled in place and just about dropped the NPC for it to wander off from me, and goes invulnerable and regens all its life back to turn around and kill me, since I burned off all my evade rolls. Gotta love when that happens so many times. / sarcasm
I would like to see, for those that already obtained Exotic sets, not only more stat combo’s but a free trade in of old Karma sets, to new karma sets. What I mean by this is, swapping out your old sets for a new stat combo of sets.
So if a player went in the support direction on their character, and say either they want to try a a damage build, or thier guild ask them to go DPS instead, they will be allowed to swap out there Pieces of Exotic Karma gear, for another set with different stat combos on them for free. Instead of grinding ALL the karma all over again just to change thier gear for their new build.

Yep. Well, sorry, no, that’s not true.
It’s actually closer to 2000.
But you can guarntee if it is 2.000, aNet will change it later to like 15,000. Just for shiats and giggles. I dunno their track record on each patch seemed to go in the. “How can we make this more annoying to the players.” direction.
I will be fine when they STOP adding more annoying content, and make the game fun again. I wonder what is gonna be up their sleave next. Adding even more damage output on the 70-80 risen, more mobs of them, and even adding more snares. I still can not figure out why when I hit Risen my damage drops drasticly compaired to any other NPC?
What was over, say 3k is now reduced to 300 to 400. I have an idea..How about aNet makes them absord even more damage then now so that 300, 400 can now be 15 to 20 with a level 80 exotic weapon instead. I can see this happening in the near future since, from what I and many others had experience. It seems they enjoy making things more annoying then before on purpose.
