Guild Wars 2

Feral.3609:

Same could be said of legendary precursors, 5+ years or however long it’s been and have yet to see even one drop. On the flip-side, I’m the only person of my other friends who have played the same duration who has never obtained any. the lowest of them has got 5 by now.

RNG is kitten in this game.

Precursors can be bought from TP and even “farmed” with the Legendary Crafting mastery, i’d say they are fine as they are, increasing their drop rates would lower their price in TP and make the Legendary crafting route even less profitable (for most precursors you’re better off just buying in TP as it is).

I’m mostly reffering to skins that can only be obtained through rng alone, like Sunless weapons and Triple trouble armor skins.

TexZero.7910:

I’d say just let them be converted to from existing Ascended Weapons.

250x Sunless Runes
25x Ecto
3 x Cube of Stabilized Dark Energy
Weapon

But that’s just my take on how to adjust it.

I’d be down for something like that, or create a “gift of tequatl” obtainable in mf by combining exclusive drops from tequatl (mini, Sunless runes, Teq fangs, teq tail pieces, etc).

I did indeed save them for 2 months (all the chests), got nothing, just saying, a ticket system for the skins (no asc. stats) or a mf recipe (there are super easy ways to get asc weapons, wouldn’t be anything crazy).
Same can be said for the Triple Trouble armor skins, not a huge fan but to each his own.

MoarChaos.8320:

The spoons have a use, they’re apart of the Koutalophile collection.

As for making a merchant to obtain it that would involve making a currency only obtainable from Tequatl, or saying ok everyone can have it if it’s karma or gold. I think either option is poor. Thus it should remain the way it is to not burn the people who already have it.

The fractal skins are in a different boat because they have always been exotics while the blue one’s are only skin tickets. Then the change made a reason to collect the full golden fractal set in a growing game mode. While Tequatl is just an easy event for most people. To me it just opens a bad door of make this skin easier and this one and this one.

I’d say that making a “token” for it like chak eggs/reclaimed metal plates, then adding a merchant for skins (just the skin, no ascended weapon) for a decent amount of tokens wouldn’t do any harm, or just making a recipe in mf to convert regular ascended weapons into sunless weapons (involving the teq fangs and thoose exotics).
Once again, i’m not saying to make it easy, i’m saying make it obtainable without rellying on rng, just based on the fact that there are not alot of weapon skins that are only obtainable through RNG.

So, after many times (well over 500x) running tequatl, still no sunless weapon and i just gave up on it, however, it got me thinking, there aren’t a lot of skins obtainable only through RNG, fractal weapons used to be, now they have a merchant, even gold fractal weapons are obtainable using the mystic forge (both by random and specific weapon).
It’s about time we get a way to obtain thoose weapons (or even just the skin?) in some sort of way without rellying on RNG, either by adding a mystic forge recipe to convert regular ascended weapons into sunless weapons, or to make the whole thing (perhaps give thoose exotic tequatl items a use? spoons too?).
I’d love to hear other players opinions too.

They just turned fractals into annoying content forcing players to run specific stages… that’s what this update did.
Before the update you could rush a full daily run 77-67-56-40-32-x-x-10-2 in less then a hour and get some decent daily rewards out of it. Now, you need to run at least 3 fractals in Tier3 to get about the same rewards while being much, much longer/harder/annyoing content.

So, gj Anet, you’ve been failing since HoT, and you keep on doing so…
Been playing this game for well over 3 years and it has been nothing but dissapointment for the last year…

Same here.
Before HoT i was playing very well in a PC that’s far from high end, with a 32 bit OS.
When HoT launched i started to crash in high populated areas and HoT maps, by decreasing the graphics i managed to stay longer ig but i’d crash at least once an hour.-
With this last patch, i cant even stay in for 1 minute. Its ridiculous.
I mean… we buy the base game, now HoT… to get a broken kitten game?
Fix this ASAP.

Same problem here (also Portugal), my cousin wanted to buy the game, as soon as he saw the 75% off he got a paysafe, and now we find out that paysafe isn’t a avaliable paying method… i dont think its fair to have a false advertisment on their website, now the poor young man has a 10€ worth paper that he cant even refund or convert in any way.
