[Weekly's does not work correctly]

Same here. My alt account doesn't have expansions, but my weekly vault missions require them. Not sure how to do them anymore...

Edit: never mind. I just understood now it offers two different objectives, so it can be done anyway!

[(Suggestion) Luck essences = material storage]

I wonder why Luck Essences aren't considered a material that can be saved into the storage. It fills too many inventory spaces once you've reached the maximum luck level, and have to move all low tier essence to an artificer to refine them for the exotic ones (needed for legendary stuff, among others).

Maybe because it acts as a consumable + account upgrade?

Alright, then it is in the game indeed :')

Wish it didn't have to be using this particular method, seems kinda awkward.

Thank you a lot! Hope it will help other players too 😄

Problem is the more common is the fish, the more difficult is to catch it on hard maps (requiring high fishing power and Nayos apparently is such map). Increasing fishing power also increases chances to catch rarer fish so you will mostly get yellows or exotic ones. 

My solution is as follows: Try to fish just with lure and bait. Something like ~350 power. Fish on open water. Minimum power needed in Nayos is like 550 or sth so you will have red mark during fishing and catching fish will be very difficult. While you'll manage to catch maybe one fish in five you it will still have greater chances to catch white or blue fish this way.

Thank you for the suggestion! I already thought that would be a possibility, though, and tried to fish with a low fishing power. Haven't been lucky, still got plenty of Exceptional and Exotic fishes (even got a Legendary), even with the red bar and all the effort that implies, so I just gave up. Guess RNG must be terrible on my account and I'll just have to keep trying.

[Inner Nayos fish]

I'm quoting from the last patch notes: 

Quote

Fish from both Skywatch Archipelago and Amnytas can be caught at Inner Nayos fishing holes without needing the correct bait, but fishing during the correct time of day is still required. These have lower drop rates than fish exclusive to Inner Nayos.

More than an hour fishing on Inner Nayos rewarded me with fishes from Skywatch and Amnytas, yes. Almost all of them, that's the problem. For instance, I haven't got a single Phantom Pollock, a fish exclusive from Inner Nayos, which should be easy to catch since it's "blue" tier, and can be caught on Open Water. Don't know if the item is not in the game, or its description is just incorrect, but this just smells fishy.

[Skywatch Archipelago - Protector of the Jade Mech Habitation Zone (Escort Rescue Party) [Merged]]

That event is sometimes bugged in a lot of instances of Skywatch Archipelago: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Help_the_Kestrels_search_for_survivors.

When Stormy Silvercrests arrives at the last spot to revive Min-Ji (NPC for the next event), that NPC is still at the last spot from their own event, alive but with the "resurrect" icon on top, so it blocks the progression on that event chain.

[Horn of Maguuma Fisher]

I noticed some waters in Skywath Archipelago, when fishing there, give credit to other fishing achievements (Desert, Krytan, etc.) instead of the correct one (Horn of Maguuma). I don't know if it's intended, or it's actually a bug.

["Rise and Shrine" Skywatch Archipelago achievement]

The "04-Maguuma: Waterfall overlooking a Pact airship" shrine guardian infant is not granting progression on the achievement (the box doesn't mark as done even when you interact with the chest and take the loot).

UPDATE: Never mind! Seems like it wasn't the correct location. Wiki page got it wrong, probably still updating. Right now, the correct location for the 04 is on the number 16 at the wiki page: "Enjoying a view of a broken bridge". Thanks for the callout, Puitje 🙂

Either their drop rate is not actually that low or there isn't much demand. Prices have already drops by ~30% compared to 2 weeks ago, ~20% compared to 1 week ago. Cheaper than some weapons that drops from HoT weapons introduced 8 years ago compared to 2 weeks for these.

The actual choices are

• participate in Gyala meta
• buy from TP
• wait until they are cheaper then buy from TP

What is not an option is "I want these fast and/or cheap". Should they be? I have no particular opinion on that. If they are cheap I'll buy them for unlock. Their prices should drop unless you expect Gyala to become dead content and on this point I agree but in that case the post should be "please increase drop rates so I can get them before Gyala becomes dead content and prices skyrocket"

As for being a completionist. That is something inherently expensive. A single one of these https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge/Equipment can cost more than the entire collection. Same for a single gen3 variant skin. What gave you the idea that being a completionist was going to be cheap and quick?

I never said anything about wanting anything "fast and/or cheap" 🙂 I simply said that, after opening hundreds of caches and obtaining no result, the frustration is very high, and I don't have the motivation to keep running a new meta (and I think that applies to many other people). Which leads to the "dead content" thing: no rewards = no motivation for repetition. So maybe precisely that very low drop rate is what will make it a dead content. If they want people to actually try and get those new weapons, maybe making it a little bit more possible than "almost 0 chance" would be nice. But I'm no expert in how the economy of the game works!

And again, I'll quote myself because (again), I see the point is being missed: "I don't think it's about having to prove that real completionists do whatever is necessary, being easy or not". Some can be hardcore players who are willing to complete everything in the game asap. Some, in the other hand, will take it slowly, simply because we have our own lives to attend to. So I don't think there's anything wrong in asking to balance the drop rate of an item that, only if you're farming for hours and hours every day, will drop. Which, again (please, read the discussion before making me repeat myself, I've written that word more times than I'd like), leads to the point of "repeating the meta for that purpose is useless, I'll farm something else to get gold, wait for the prices to go down and buy them". And that's what kills the meta. If there's no point on repeating it, no one who values their time will.

good said, your "simply" value your time, insted of "highly"

your doing meta that is only 4-5g 

fishing is 5-6g (that takes up to 7min and you can do it by just parking alt)

and box is 2-3g as bonus, (around 0-2 for whole meta)

 

Why are you doing this meta in first place, insted of doing more valuable stuff to exchange gold for that boxes

I'll quote myself again, because I see the point is being totally missed: "The end solution will be farming something completely different to just buy it, and that feels wrong. What's the point of the new meta or the air filters, then?".

I'm perfectly aware that the most efficient way to obtain most things in this game is just "make gold, buy it", if we're talking timewise (because yes, I'm also aware that time is the most valuable currency, also in-game). I just wish I didn't have to do that again to get a collection, and that I could do it the way it is supposed to be done. But for now, that feels unachievable, unless you're willing to waste thousands of hours and research notes which, again, it's not worth at all.

If you're a completionist player, there's always an option of getting gold and buying boxes off tp. Unless you're only a completionist when it's easy, at which point... you're not exactly a completionist.

If you'd end up buying them off tp, you'd still be buying them off someone who keeps running metas and using filters. So their point remains the same, even though you might get impatient and would rather do something else.

As for changes in drop rate, I don't think we're able to judge it just yet (at least I'm not), but who knows, maybe anet is.

Indeed, as I mentioned, there's that method, way easier than the conventional one, given the circumstances. But, as I also mentioned, I don't feel like spending hundreds of gold on a basic collection, and I'd rather ask if a rate drop increase was something doable. I don't think that makes me or anyone else less of a completionist; I simply value my time, and if someone can spend dozens of hours every week farming, then congratulations! I can't, and so do many more players, because of IRL.

So, I don't think it's about having to prove that real completionists do whatever is necessary, being easy or not, or that some get impatient. I just think, having opened hundreds and hundreds of chests, without getting any single one, is very discouraging. Not about patience: I've waited months to slowly progress on some of those personal in-game goals, and I don't have a problem doing so again. I just think the drop rate feels so low that running that meta for that specific achievement definitely feels like a waste of time. Maybe I've been just veeery unlucky with the RNG. Whatever 🤷‍♂️ time to save up a bit.

Hi everyone!

Not sure if any of the ArenaNet members team will be reading this, but just in case: please, increase the drop rate of those weapon boxes. Please. Since last patch, I've opened hundreds of caches in Gyala Delve with the "special" air filters activated, and I have not obtained a single one, neither from caches nor events. The drop rates feels VERY low.

For us (at least, for me), completionists players, this is a bit discouraging. Spending many research notes on those air filters and many hours of meta-event to obtain nothing... feels bad. And I don't feel like spending hundreds of gold on the trading post for a basic collection. The end solution will be farming something completely different to just buy it, and that feels wrong. What's the point of the new meta or the air filters, then?

Thank you!

[Stormcaller Weapons, Tier 2 -> Tier 1 deleted]

@"Ashantara.8731" said:Dear ArenaNet,

Please make it easy to obtain Tier 2 for those who have already acquired Tier 1 but deleted those skins afterwards.

We've already had a situation like that before - most players just don't have the space to hoard stuff for possible future content. Please don't have us recraft all of the Tier 1 skins.

Thank you.

Those are exactly my thoughts as well. And I highly disagree with a lot of the answers this post is receiving. Not everyone cares enough about the description of the items to read them all, some of us are constantly getting exotic gear and do not pay much attention at it. Some of us only cared about unlocking the collection, not the weapons themselves. And some of us don't have enough space on our inventory/bank to keep an entire collection there for moths. Be a littlebit more comprehensive. Thanks.

Said that, I totally agree ArenaNet should really offer a way to re-obtain those Stormcaller weapons, just as they did with the Restored Boreal weapons: "The merchant Humble Stone in the village of Still Waters Speaking offers spare account-bound Restored Boreal weapons to players who have already unlocked the corresponding weapon skin. Each weapon can only be purchased once".

This would be a really nice solution that would not affect the game's economy at all. ArenaNet, please make it possible.
