Yes i agree, the reward system in this game is just godly awful, same two people doing exactly the same effort, should more or less get the same rewards, but here, thanks to RNG someone can do 100 times more effort than the other guy, yet the other guy get 100 times better rewards! Its dumb and this game will slowly die if this doesnt change, only the ‘lucky’ people will continue to play this.
For sure more pvp modes has been asked since beta 3 yet they stick to conquest, same as duels a feature that had to be out since release. Maybe im misunderstanding what a community based game means but i haven’t seen any feature asked by the community added yet. Dont get me wrong i still love the game!
So i encourage everyone who reads the forum, to write down the features they want to see added/missing to the game! Because i cant see how is this a community based game i havent seen any update which pleases the masses needs.
I will start:
-Less RNG, better rewards for high efforts, for example fractal weapon skins.
-Duels: for sPvP and PvE
-New pvp game types.
-More sPvP accesories to allow diversity
-No DR
-Better looking light armor skins for asuras!
Also for gods sake, dont move this post to suggestions, these arent, i just want to know what what people feels is missing the game and would like to see in the so called comunity based game!
I want ANET to make this dungeon like all the others, and let me spend my tokens(relics) on the weapons i want.
Doesn’t seem an unfair request, since they caved for people complaining about rings and made acquiring those in line with other dungeons, buying with the dungeon currency.
I wish ANET could read this and do the necessary implementations to the system already we are all begging to it.
What makes me laugh is that they are even going to do a conference and say how much they made comunity-based online game, when yet they have never added something asked from the comunity (duels, new game modes, less RNG, better rewards, no dr, and million more)

Just wondering, did anyone buy the light armor version of this? It looks sooooooooooooo bad, horrible, worse than AC set, comparing to the medium armor version which looks pretty nice, who the hell pays for such a bad looking armor? Light armor in this game seems to be left behind most of the sets also look awful =/
I heard lvl 40 daily has way bigger chances, i dont know tho. I have got a few but not the one im looking for. Gotta agree, make them tradeable, or add a mystic forge recipe involving pristines shards other weps or w/e but get rid of the rng already.
On the worst case, considering how Anet loves this RNG and loves making people do effort for nothing as a reward, you could add a mystic forge recipe, involving 1 fractal wep, relics pristines w/e but the result would be ANOTHER random fractal wep, at least you can have higher chances of getting this.
I have heard people of getting two of the weps they were looking for in basically 3 or 4 dailies, it is just unfair, some people do over 100 runs and get nothing while others get everything in just a few, this kind of gameplay is totally unfair its worse than korean mmos.
Lol at everyone crying omg eles this omg eles that. Seriously 1 immobilize and RTL is totally shut down, im looking forward for some classes to be better than others at running the orb, might create new team diversity.
I wish but everyone is so negative with random bs like personal story would be too hard to change or something. They made a whole freaking game wake up coding that is a cake walk.
I know im level 32 running lvl 30, 26 and 10 so i should be getting rewarded for lvl 30 26 and 10, for a good time already over 250 fractals they all seem to have the same drop rates for the exception of daily chest and essences/globs/shards.
This game is made so you cant get anything by yourself, all you have to do is farm gold mindlessly or buy gems and then go to the trading post and get the stuff you need. Trying to get something in particular will only make you waste your time, just be happy with the unexpected/unneeded drops while you farm gold which gives you more gold.
Call the mythbuster! Does higher level fotm really give better loot? Im talking about bosses chest, and monsters drop. I know the only better drop from mobs are essence/glob/shards to upgrade rings, thats for no doubt a better drop. But thats it! For the exception of the daily chest and upgrade mats, the drops from mobs/chests are exactly the same, there are no higher chances of getting rares/exotics. I have run fotm lvl 30+ without getting a single rare and i had no DR, while i have run lvl 10+ getting 5-6 rares on average.
If there are higher chances of rares/exotic, i guess they increase at rates of 0.0000001% per level.
I just cant understand how could this game release without a duel tool, should be one for Pve/WvWvW chars and one for sPvP chars, instanced or w/e but there should be SOMETHING, using game rooms to duel just because someone for sure thought “duels who need them? im sure no one will notice!”
I guess that making direct damage (no conditions) break stealth/invis would be a HUGE nerf but i wish there was something else you could do to reveal someone.
Damage sure doesn’t. I have been stealthed from the thieves AoE stealth, ran past massive waves of enemy players in WvW spamming aoe and skills yet i remain invisible (stealth buff, not talking about culling). So what exactly breaks stealth?
Did u see the new chests they added when you get a rare or higher item? Did you see most of the time they have garbage instead of a rare or higher? That’s right! Its not really a bug, actually you really got a rare but the game DR replaced with garbage!
Having 1/190 chances of getting it aint fair neither, make it a mystic forge recipe, cost relics, level requirement or something, but not this huge RNG.
Only people saying precursors should stay as they are are probably the ones who made legendaries when they were mega cheap and dont want more people with them, im sorry to tell you but you are too late, a lot of people have them already and they arent that rare any more =/
I think I have gotten a little lucky when it comes to getting Fractal Weapons but very unlucky in getting the one I actually WANT.
So far I have gotten 2 hammers, a trident, a staff, a warhorn, a spear and an axe. All I actually want is the GS and maybe the shield.
So in one aspect I would like to be able to trade my 30 Pristine Fractal Relics for the one weapon I have been trying for (I have 36 pristine so that’s 36 attempts) but also not hating getting them as drops either.
Funny i have got a GS and an axe as an ele, but not a dagger!
I would make it more interesting, instead of just 30 relics, make it a mystic forge recipe, like: 1 fractal weapon of any choice, 1 exotic weapon (which will decide the result), a few pristine relics, and a few shards.
Theres no gear grind at all unless you want to look cool.
When talking about PvE (and by extension, WvW) you are wrong sir.
For the OP: I think you made some good points. I don’t think hotjoin should go away, but they do need to do something to create a transition from solo player to tournament team.
Really? You can get a whole exotic set in a few days. Do a few dungeons, get some gold buy jewelry, done!
I dont know how people is still having problems with daily dodger…. I just play the game and it comes alone! You dont need to even pay attention to the achievement, i do 1 fotm run and stay around WvWvW for a bit, there, dodge done! Pretty much in the first map of fotm.
I quit sPvP for the same reasons mostly and the boring conquest mode and no 2v2/3v3 death match/other modes so i can play with my friends instead of wasting hours and hours to try to find people.
To all who haven’t explored the other aspects of the game, PvE/WvWvW, i tell you, quit sPvP and join us! There’s where the game really is and it is awesome
Well if there are 19 weps you need to do even more.
Now the thread was moved to suggestions so it will get lost in the vast void of posts and no one will discuss it =/
We need a mystic forge recipe to create it with relics other weapons maybe shards and another exotic i duno something, but this rng is terrible. Run 120 times the same 4 dungeons to get something (and maybe not) makes no sense.
Make them tradeable just like legendaries and add a level requierement of fractals lvl 30 to be able to use it. You still need to work hard, still a lot of RNG like Anet loves to add to everything, but also skins are now useful and its easier to obtain the one you want by trading.
Also assuming drop chance of a wep is 10% and every wep has the same chance, and 12 weps (including under water ones), chances to get the item you want would be 0.08%?? (0.1*(1/12)). Means in average you need to do 120 runs.
Yes! I so want to change my asura to something where armor/weps actually doesn’t look so awful, but i know it will never come, i will have to make a new char, of the same class, farm all over again, items, dyes, ascended gear, god that’s not gonna happen.
A trade system would be the best, i dont know why would they stick to RNG, it just favors lucky people and frustrates unlucky ones.
Allowing to obtain these items with a trade system, at least, gives you a goal, run fotm xxx times and get your prize, instead of run fotm xxxxxxxx times and maybe get nothing.
Rare and hard to get things are rare and hard to get, you may never get them.
Working as intended, makes sense to most other people – still can’t see your problem (school holidays perhaps?).
You can still make it rare and hard with a fixed goal like relics and/or trade with other weapons. Its not rare and hard for the lucky who got it on the first try. Its pretty unfair some people have to work a lot to get something while others get it easily! I felt so much sorry for the two warriors and mesmer in my group when i told them i got a fractal greatsword and i couldnt use it.

The problem is that you may never get one, no matter one, having such RNG is dumb. At least, make fractal weps sellable or something, legendary weps can be sold/traded i see no reason why fractal ones couldnt, with this you could actually make use of the items you get that you cant use, and shorten the RNG a bit.
Just because you have a fractal weapon doesn’t mean you have run FOTM a lot, just means you were lucky, thats it.
If you want to make fractal weps fotm users exclusive, just add a level requierement for them and DONE!.
Can we do something about this already? I have been trying to find a fractal dagger for a few months already, i have got a shield, a staff, and a greatsword, yet no dagger, lots and i mean LOTS of rings, and pristine relics, all of them useless, can we make an use to these, a trade system, a salvage system, something?! Any future plans on doing something? You get a fractal weapon 1 out of 10 runs, and after that you have 1 out of over 10 weps to pick from, its just, impossible.
It would be dumb to nerf the ele and leave guardians bunkering as they are now and thieves 1 shooting people. Hopefully they all get balanced at the same time.
You are complaining about a 5.5k heal? Thats pretty much higher than what other classes have, the problem is that warrior’s hp is so huge it feels like you heal low.
The only higher heal is the guardian one which heals like 7k
Mist form/elixir S does not give stability, comparing them just because they both provide some immune effect is wrong. Stability doesnt prevent some stuff as roots or slows. while immune prevents EVERYTHING incoming, for the exception of already applied condition.
This has happened twice already, once when i first started playing and now in a dungeon. Somehow, i lose control over what i can target, the only way i can target enemies/allies is with the tab key, i cant use my mouse click to target something and the only fix is to close and open the client again, any help? Pretty annoying when you cant do this.
Eles wasting one of their most precious survival cds to stomp someone, being vulnerable for future bursts, for the exception of a 1v1 fight i dont see how’s that considered overpowered.
What they should do ? The same thing that thief and engineers medium armor do at melle range, just a tad better – dodge, run , time their attcks and use their shields.
Not turn off the fight when they please to, not that.
Thieves do the same and worse. Sure nerf RTL, but give me warriors HP and thieves damage when going melee then so we can go melee without getting our faces melted in seconds.
This happened in WvWvW anyways, we were fighting for a good while and every time i was about to kick his kitten he just ran into water, i killed his pet yet it would still heal him so thanks to no underwater stomp, really low underwater damage and bugged pet he could just come back to life any time he wanted!
An ele shouldn’t be able to do what an ele can do in a downed state…
Riight we should be as weak as the rest and have half of their hp and armor. Not to mention our #3 is really really bad. While others #3 is pretty awesome, see mesmers #3 which deals a lot of damage or warriors that can come to life and wreck ur face when u were trying to finish him off.
Everyone having the same skills, traits, downed skills, and utilities are perfect! What a fantastic idea… instead of balancing lets just all be lazy and have no diversity or interested gameplay. lets all have these skills
I cant see anyone talking about skills, traits, drowned or utilities – this is just about Downed skill #2 and NO one can say they are balanced. Just giving out opinions and possible options – its not as if any of this will be taken into account and them actually do something about it anyway…
The point is that they are actually a bit balanced. By no means a warrior should be able to do what an ele can in downed state, nor an ele should be as bad as a warrior is while downed. You see, guardians have as much armor as a warrior have, but way lower hp, so guardians get a little better downed skill than warriors.
I might agree that mesmer and necro downed might be a little bad for them being light armor users, but you see necros are the second highest hp in game so they shouldnt have something as powerful as eles, but still not something as bad as warriors. Mesmers are light armor with high lower hp than a necro so their downed should be a little better, thieves hp are the second lowest in the game but they are med armor so their downed shouldnt be as good as an ele downed but neither as bad as a warrior downed, should be between mesmer and necro… Not sure if you get my point, but giving everyone the same chances to live is plain stupid and as i said then they should give everyone as much hp and armor.
You wanted a warrior? High hp, high armor, well your skills wont be as good as an ele to get out of troubles you will have to use ur high hp and armor to live through, deal with it.
