I honestly think u guys dunno how MF works……at all….
Magic Find just increases your chance of getting better items then “white items”…if u increase it even more…… u will have better chance of getting items better then “blue items”…. even more… better items then “green items”. U get what i mean?
The table starts from WHITE items. If u have 50..100 mf let’s say that means u will 90% of the time get blues and up.
If u have around 200mf… 90% u will get green items
If u have 300mf (max) 90% u will get yellows..
These are just examples…but this is how MF works in any game. It doesn’t increase your chance of getting a precursor..it increases your chance of not getting crap items..like whites for starters.
Having 100% mf is almost nothing really if you are looking for rare/exo. Before the global MF patch u needed around 300% MF to actually start getting yellows pretty fast and about 1-2 exotics/major event (aka pre-karka queen event). Why do u think the MF cap is 300? Or did u think at “300 mf” u would get constant yellows/exotics.
Me at 120%MF i almost literally never see white items. So every item i get, i can salvage and get even more MF in time.
Maybe all new players should run the dungeon they way it was intended instead of rushing in and trying to learn how to skip mobs and the ways to go.
Because that’s the problem, Vet’s will just skip mobs and new players have no clue what’s going on – then they die/get kicked and make crybaby forum posts..
How about you just play the dungeon – no skips, every dungeon is doable then. You should have no problems, then you have a rough idea of the mechanics you may learn different approaches to the dungeon.
Don’t make QQ threads about people not teaching you when you haven’t even researched anything yourself.
You’re both missing the point. The gilded infusion wasn’t made to boost dungeon boss drops, it was made boost gold drops everywhere. This thing will still work as intended.
This is nothing more than player entitlement. “I can’t abuse this as much any more so you have to pay me back the costs.”
No point arguing with self-entitled children who apparantly think they run the game and can make demands.
Why are you all arguing, it’s very clear Anet couldn’t give two kittens about the history of guild wars. Everything is about “new” things. They made a game for the lore that wouldn’t fit in the guild wars game. they’re like microsoft “oh you msis the old lore? GO PLAY THE OLD GAME THEN LOL ))”
Face it, kiel’s won from the start, and i’ve had enough of asuran styled dungeons because they look like kitten sci-fi levels and now i’ll have to run 2 of them in fractals – nice.
i’m sticking to arah (even though you don’t get to see how it looked before it got kittened over because anet won’t make it)
What do you expect from a small team with too much on their plate?
Anet has stated that they don’t want farmers, and all you guys do is look for new ways to farm then cry when it’s removed. What the heck do you expect.
You scream and shout “Y U NO LET US PLAY DA GAME THE WAY WE WANT” when you should probably think “Why don’t i go play a game that let’s me do the things i want”
Anet made the game, but you don’t have to play it.
i spent over 200g trying to get the precursors, it failed.
i saved up 600g and bought it off TP, and I thought i would have missed that gold but… I don’t. If you really want twilight, then it’s a worthwhile investment. and a guaranteed one at that.
I play casual since beta and only need the icy runestones and ectos for my twilight. It got slow since i cant farm events in orr anymore but other parts like crystalline dust were made cheap and ectos too so i still think it’s kind of balanced.
you just have to shift your playing style, i think dungeons/fotm are the money makers now. (although i hate cof..)
That’s true for weapons awarded for finishing the game, or torment weapons, but if you wanted destroyer weapons or obsidian armor, or any elite armor set really you were faced with either farming and hoping for the right materials to drop or buying them. Sure you could buy them from NPC merchants, but at a price set by supply and demand from other players.
And how many people spent hours running dungeons hoping for a particular green weapon to drop? And how many of them just wanted to sell it to one of the many people who weren’t willing to take their chances with the RNG?
How is that any different to precursors in GW2?
the point i was making was you could always see how far you are from achieving your goal with guild wars 1, GW2 i can have everything but the precursor and never know if i will ACTUALLY obtain it.
The only reason i see anet implementing this is as a hook for you to play the game. (a hook for that type of player)
guild wars expansions were usually massive continents to explore. This game hasn’t even been out a year and guild wars 1’s first expansion took 2 years i think. It was worth it though (please bring back cantha!!!)
i always enjoy the kids screaming “WHY SHOULD YOU GET A FREE LEGENDARY I DIDN’T NO FAIR”
If only they played the first game, where all loot was available to you if you worked for it, it was fair, you always progressed towards your goals in that game.
I’m sick of this roll-a-dice BS bring back the hard work and we’ll be rid of the self-entitled children.
Why spread out RNG averages evenly between 100% of the population, when you can increase the rate for 10% of the accounts, screw the other 90% completely, and have people so desperate to buy gems to convert into gold to help themselves out?
this.
I mean, they won’ even tell us how the drop rate works. nothing can be random with computers
as you see in this thread, RNG is RNG, i have played almost 4,000 hours and had no luck with precursors at all. Yeah it’s disheartening to see people with under a thousand hours get 4 but that’s how anet made the game.
My advice? play another game for a while, you’ve poured enough effort into the game and you’ve hit a wall. wait for more content. in the meantime i’ll be playing animal crossing where RNG seems to favour me :P
i agree with bright, at any level as long as you know tactics, anything in this game becomes trivial and increasing reward for “harder” places only creates another CoF
Yep, I’m predicting another ban wave coming for people who exploited this. Be nice if they also got the Moa Race exploiters and the Dragon Ball food exploiters at the same time.
Just a guess.. They won’t ban anyone. Only the guys who exploited the mystic forge thing on a scale.
they wont ban them, i mean look at the godskull precursor exploiters, they got to keep all the items they made and no smack on the wrist. just disabled the bug from future use.
i think the problem is the guy you’re trying to res is actually somewhere else but the revive tooltip comes up as he’s next to you on your screen if you get my meaning.

now, i’ve allowed guild wars 2 emails to my inbox, this is pretty convincing but the site it tells me to log on seems fake to me and i just want to make sure http://login.guildwars2.rac-fae.asia/
any suggestions?
ALSO DO NOT ENTER YOUR DETAILS INTO LINKS I JUST WANT YOU TO VERIFY THEM
the only thing bad about it is obtaining the precursor. other than that i think it’s fine.
also, why do people who rushed for legendaries have to cry and get scared it might “get easier” for future people.
I’d actually be happier for them seeing as it was a pain to get.
they just need to up the drop rate a little that is all, maybe more so on the tougher events.
why did they remove precursors dropping from dragon chests, well not remove but make the chance 0.000000000001%
it’s stupid, if they make them rare then they get expensive, why not make them a little more common, why do they have a “top notch” economist working in a video game if he can’t do his job properly?
no really, i hate skiping mobs, but you just have to, it’s not only boring fighting the same mobs over and over.
but i am sick of hitting 1 all day and occasionally other numbers, i liked gw1 where you could ACTUALLY customize your build to make it more fun. but now, i have to follow someone elses cookie cutter build
Arah is designed to be like this though, most of you are missing the point when anet said arah is ment to be for the high tier speed clear runners from GW1 giving them some much more challenging content.
The reason we were speedclearing places was for the rare loot SPECIFICALLY found in those areas (ectos/gems/obby shards)
In guild wars 2, NOTHING specific is found in arah other than tokens, they even diminish after several runs in a day!
It is stupid to think we want to speedclear a place with little value, and believe me if it was worth it, people would be speed clearing the snoozefests already.
