Guild Wars 2

Navi.7142:

It seems they gathered enough information from us? (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Dragon-chest-bugged/page/3#post1440169)

I think it is a critical point where they are now and how they will decide to handle all related loot issues.
If they focus on us costumers (and on our money), they will present us a lovely and satisfying solution (regardless if it was a perceived or non-perceived issue.. it was a huge and game breaking issue for many of us!). -> people that would love to play their game will stay and play
If they insist that it is mainly working as intended and will do nothing to mollify the masses, they will lose more and more players. :-(
Don’t push us away from your game!

Hopefully they will be back on track soon and cheer us up. :-)

I am at a critical point in this game. In all the mmo’s I have played, I always farmed and crafted, I was able to sell the items and make gold. I can not in this game, many of the items that sell relies on random drops, if I do not get the drops, I can not craft the item. Now that the drop rate on the mobs have drop that reward is gone too. My guild has gone from having people waiting for turns to run dungeons, to god i hope enough sign in for a guild run. Many in my guild have been together since the start of Age of Conan, now its just biding time until elder scrolls comes out because this has just become a disappointment for many of us. I am a pver, so don’t say pvp if I am bored. It’s not just bored, I don’t feel I am accomplishing anything at all really . None of the thing I like to do are truly viable.

Nalora.7964:

Well, I was hopeful.

I am back to drops on less than 50 percent of my kills and it is all junk drops.

And I wonder why none of my friends log in and the 4 Guilds I am a member of no one logs in anymore….

Bingo and that is why i am basically on the forum and not playing….

Raine.1394:

The purpose of the loot system in a game is to give players a sense of reward for play beyond the reward of the gameplay itself. It’s hard to miss it when the loot system isn’t working and that’s why we have all the threads on the subject. The only other game where I’ve experienced something similar also was based on RMT. It doesn’t take a tinfoil hat to begin inferring possible reasons for the absence of loot in the game. I hope they fix it as game play and game world are very good. Loot, I believe, is the second biggest problem with the game right now.

Agreed.

NatureBlade.7910:

So I am on my journey for a legendary, and I need to get my Weaponsmith and Armorsmith up to 400. I have spent around 3-4 gold just to get Weaponsmith lvl 120, and I think I am doing it wrong. I always sold my mats so now I have no lower tier crafting ones.
I really need help on how to boost it up.

Google pwniversity

Masamoon.3864:

I don’t know, 40s isn’t even that much..most games wouldn’t even let you do something like this to begin with.

I have to agree, pay it or do that craft on an alt.

Magiofdeath.2745:

The only drops that are actually guaranteed anymore are heavy moldy bags….

Agreed.

MalakiteGW.9651:

ArenaNet, can you please add in another dozen or so purchasable bank tabs? I have bought all of your bank tabs available right now and I am still running out of space. Most of my characters also have all thier pack slots bought with 15 slotters.

Help! Will this be added soon?

You are proof of the mmo horder…

MacLeod.5386:

I always felt that a game was fun to me if I only came to the forums to add a suggestion on a way to enhance gameplay in a positive way.

If I came to the forums for anything else, the game was losing it’s fun appeal at that very moment and forum pvp overtook ingame fun for at least a little while. (Usually until my sub ran out lol)

LOL…the hunnymoon is over I guess for me. Now its just a time sink.

Dante.1508:

Great post OP.

This is why i’m looking for new MMO’s currently, the loot drops just aren’t worth playing in its current state.

It needs to back to how it played 4 months ago, but i doubt it will, so its time to move on if Feb doesn’t bring much needed fixes to the loot tables..

I have to agree, I like to feel rewarded too. If I work in the game, and farming for mats is work/grind and I get no reward, why bother.

I run d/d, minion master, my traits are
20- VI, IX
0
25- III, X
25- II, VII
0

I use Well of blood for healing, Blood is power , Bone minions, Bone fiend and Flesh Golem up at all times. My gear is all Valkrie with 6 superior runes of the dolyak, two beryl orichalcum earrings, amulet and two nightmare coils with crest of the soldiers.

My power is 2389
attack 3370
I won’t mention crit, its none…
toughness 1550
armor 2470
vitality 1906
health 28272

I rarely come close to death even in orr. I die less then my gaurdian does.

Stormborn.1549:

I agree that there a lot of diversionary things, such as events and exploring but I guess I was looking for more character building and less fluff. I like all of those but at the end of the day it feels hollow. I’m not insulting the game, I play a lot so that would be hypocritical. But I was / am a little confused with the “incentive” of the endgame. Most of the time, I feel like I’m looking to find that driving goal to keep me going after I’ve gotten all my skills and the armor and weapon look I want.
As far as a guild, you are 100% spot on, I’ve tried finding a guild but so far I just haven’t found the right fit, but maybe soon.

I wish you luck on that I have a great guild that I have been with for a few years, we follow each other from game to game, the only game I did not play with them was The secret world….

If I could get them back into AOC, I’d be happy.

Then allow the level 80’s to change race…the story is over, or once they reach kill the dragon, it is

Lunarminx…duh!

No mounts, I want motorcycles and flying brooms……

Or crafted run speed potions( 75% buff), much cheaper way point jumping….

That being said….just waiting out the time now.

Ikcen.7518:

There is no endgame in GW2, and farming for gear is pointless, cause there is no individual competition too.

This is true. There is no end game period. Maybe I am use to 20 man raids that take a bit to get down, you have a few of them. We have a few 5 man dungeons that have 3 paths. Each drop their own tokens for gear you may not want because the stats are not what you want but you run them for guildies. Yes you can explore the world……, you have jumping puzzles, you can farm but wait. The best farming area got nerfed to where that is now boring to farm even on a clothie….

Allow us to be able to trade in unused dungoen tokens to a vendor for ones we can use. Even if its 2-1. I run many dungeons with guildies where I do not want the gear the tokens can buy. They are just wasting away in my bank. I know I could buy the gear and salvage them but that is even more of a waste.

I think its he constant * This won’t end well* that is a major turn off. Its like slepp rock…wowzie wowzie woo woo, woe is me attitude. Nobody wants a leader that always spouts this is it, we are all gonna die.

Yes I would pay to change my race. Too much time invested to just create another ranger, not included that she has 4 -400 crafts with top recipes.

PS, Those chest we pay karma for should never ever ever have vendor trash in them…..

IMO the drops in orr have been reduced, it may be because the mobs have been reduced. I never had a problem with the amount of mobs in the Cursed Shore myself, my first toon was an elementalist and I soloed her to 80 except in dungeons( I prefer it that way, I can gather to my hearts content and not kitten anyone off).

For me to have fun in a game, I have to have fun with my guildies, make money(I farm and crafted in every mmo I have played) I have not found the crafted item to consistently make money on, so farming is it. Now that has been reduced. I can not stand at the TP and play the trader, that is not fun. I know many in my guild has noticed this too. It seems like you are making it harder to get things to make it harder to get what you want, but that just drives people away. You had the sweet spot and ruined it IMO.

Unlocked dyes
Completed zones
Completed dungeons
Karma
Exotic recipes that some crafts share
Armor and Weapons, as long as your toon can use it
Stones bought for mystic forge
Blueprints unsoul bound period

But I hate the fact that I can order stuff for the trader for the toon I an crafting on, jump onto another to help someone and need something off the trader and have to get all the crap that was waiting to be picked up. Separate the trader per toon.

Meowwilson.5106:

As long as you get the chest from the dragons you getting that “good” loot.. so heres what you do mk.. you do 15k damage maybe.. more or less to get bronze on the event, then you go kill the 1000 mobs that spawn with the event. tons and tons of loot. especially if you have a group of 5 doing this with you. little harder than chickens perhaps.. but you do get a tiny higher chance of rare exotic if you do that and get the dragon chest.

Never much luck with the mobs around Jormag either. If I want loot, I just farm a normal area. The only reason I do a dungeon is for guildies, I got my TA staff, the rest of them I find the gear hidious. Normal farming in Orr is you best bet for loot period. Basically this game is built for gold sellers, you get the most from the easiest of the mobs.

[/quote]

Umm…agreed to the fullest

But I think they mean they want to see yer junk afore you run with them in their devastation party[/quote]

LOL…I know but its a pet peeve of mine so i throw it out when ever I can.

This was the dumbest idea I ever saw for a guild anyways. One guild period, another lame idea.

dutchusuk.2801:

i agree most loot is crap in the same time you kill the champ. you can kill a lot mobs and get more and better loot.

And this is why the game is failing. They did so well with GW1 that the idea that they could fail with 2 made their most insane ideas a go ahead.

Winfernal.9208:

So first off, for those who don’t know what it is.

“Inspecting gear” is a feature where you can check anyones gears in a UI. By right clicking or something else.

My view on this:

It would make it easier to check out someones gear if you’re curious. You wouldn’t have to link every piece.

But then again, It would also increase the level of “gear checking” for dungeons, etc. At that would pollute the community. “You must have x gear to enter this group”. Just like the “You have to be warrior to join this group”, only worse.

It would also make it easier to bash somone because of their gear.

These are the only things i can think about when it comes to this topic.

So, i ask you.

Should it be implented? Or not? Give us your opinion!

No but we should be able to preview gear on the trader before buying it. Its kitten that we can’t.

Dante.1508:

I’ve never seen a rare from a dragon, Chickens and the rest occasionally dump a rare mostly green trash or worse, personally don’t understand how a AAA MMO can do it so wrong but i guess nerfing everything to them makes sense, even if i cannot see logical reasons why..

Don’t worry, Elder Scrolls is coming ;P

Different daily bugs.

Laurel vendor page opened but no credit given, picture and bug report submitted.

Crafting not registering for daily, bug report submitted.

Events finished but no credits( 0%) for kill variety, not even one kind. We know you can’t do 5 events and not kill something….. report and photo submitted.

two dailies unable to complete because of bugs, the rewards lost because of bugs. If this keeps up I guess I will never get my monthly finished….

Paul.4081:

Town costumes are the personification of waste of cash……who-ever dreamed them up needs to play GW1 once!

they need to die in a fiery death!

This is the reason I hardly do not even do dragons anymore. Never Jormag, he’s 45 minutes for 3-4 blues….no way. A yellow shaman talisman that has to be vendor, is not worth my time. I think I have gotten 2-3 rares from dragon fights since the start of the game. Nope. My daily has been bugging out for days, yes I been submitting bug reports, less and less guildies have been logging, beta other games…..fun fun fun

jamesg.7128:

So they changed the formula for downscaling apparently. Has anyone found the increase in difficulty unusually tough? I took my L80 Engie back to Fireheart Rise to finish off the map and instead the mobs were finishing me. I couldn’t even get close to finishing some of the skill challenges and even small mobs were wiping me. I’ve never had that problem before and could usually solo this stuff.

Anytime an mmo tries to fix something, they make it worse. where I haven’t been to a lower level area, I can say Orr has been dumbed down and boring.

MMOs are a grind get over it. Some mask it better then others.

How can you sell an item so dumb looking like the backpack cover and allow it to be seen while questing/fighting but town clothes can not? We know its true on how silly that baby backpack is. It should be town only.

Huck.1405:

This whole new daily system was, IMHO, not well thought out.

Half the crap they come up with isn’t well thought out. That goes for all MMOs. Couldn’t they have spent some time fixing the trader by separating heavy, medium and light items instead of coming up with a counter making you heal an NPC? Next thing you know, you’ll give us horse racing….

I get an error after sending two mails to guildies. I am one of the main crafters for our guild and we do not have the room to leave a few people’s gear in the bank. Allow us to trade or send unlimited guild mail.

Have a right click and open all option for those of use that has many stacks of bags/sacks.

sahand.9138:

biggest failure ever

Agreed! Total waste of my time. Having to do this event should not be on our monthly either.

Yes this is a dumb comment but last night was my first time in WvW. I thought gear didn’t matter in pvp for this game. I was thinking about just getting starter gear for just pvp. So am I wrong? Confused, all the above?

I have to agree, if they can make the trader account bound, the bank account bound, why can’t the dye be account bound.

Speaking of dyes, we need hair dye too. Just allow use to use any dyes we have unlock on that toon.

I have to agree with Icecat, the cost to buy gold legally is very expensive. The cost to port and repair is too expensive. IMO if you make it so everything feels like you always have to farm in order to not waste time, IE using the way points, you will lose people over having them just play more. I am not saying make it easier, just much less costly. If someone plays just a little a week, but always is broke and hurting for money they will not have fun for long. They will not play for long. It’s a game not work. When a game feels like work, its not fun.

With all the colors we have for our armor being able to dye my hair would be awesome. I do it in real life all the time. Just allow use to use the dyes we already have.

I would love to see when a guildie logs on.

Being able to preview armor that is on the trader before buying is needed.

Being able to see what the name is of the gear others are wearing would be nice, even if you didn’t show the stats.
