My guess is it is not Guild Wars 3. It will probably be a Guild Wars 2 mobile app. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnackParty.3178 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 It's Dragon Bash, all year 🤣. Yeah, I'm not going out of the way, unless they get better, at higher tiers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suialthor.7164 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 It feels like more time is spent traveling between rifts than actually fighting them. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 While doing Rifts a thought crossed my mind. About how much I love this game. Rifts are pretty good by themselves, barring certain spots overlapping already dense locations. The motivation crafting cost is the problem. It could benefit to drop at least more rare unidentifieds on top of the usual T3 rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget these are just the beginner rifts until future updates bring more challenges and different types of bosses Where have you read that? How do you know it? T3 rifts already exist and looking at the legendary armor collection nothing new in regards to rifts is coming. Its a bad system and is made even worse by the amount needed to be spent to open higher tier ones. Would I expect a exotic tier and an ascended tier or legendary tier rift? Yes! But that is just wishful thinking. Sitting in front of a tier 3 rift and waiting to see if someone is bold enough to spend the 10 gold to open it for a green item some essence and a bag of 1 silver is the most exciting feature that was ever added to guild wars. The system is just bad and needs a complete rework. No idea how this even passed the weekly planning meetings of the dev teams. It either needs a better way to scale based on how many monster's are killed in a certain time window or something, or permanent rift opening motivations, or a way to craft them using essence only instead of mats. Like you go do 10 tier 1 rifts so you have enough essence for 5 tier 2 rifts so you can have enough for a tier 3 rift, or just award them for the new meta's. 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is gold required to open a rift? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need an organised squad with a comm organising alacrity and quickness into subgroups. Those are the only times I do DE, and it's now ?1.5 years since EoD launched. I thought DE is dragons end, but you describe it like a 10 ppl speed run of dragon storm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes DE is dragons end and usualy commander put alac and quick in as many subs they can of the 10 they have, they dont keep everyone as a big blob like all other metas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been in one big zerg when doing that meta. Dragons End, Dragon Fall, no difference in handling. But I've only done it about 5 times in total I think. Maybe 10 if there was an achievement to do it 10x. Edited August 30, 2023 by Lucy.3728 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz I saw "do one heart" for daily and was like wow that's boring. XD I can't preview the legendary armor in-game yet so I'm not too worried about it atm. I'd rather see the full picture of everything I'd have to do at once before bothering too much. I've noticed the buying Motivations for 7g+ each to speed it up sounding ultra unappealing though, as well as seeing commanders apparently scamming people into sending them in mail to them to continue trains. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Another thing that bothers me about rifts is that I don't know why I should be doing them. The use of the essences is extremely limited. I'm done with the achievements that need essences to complete, and now there's just a few minis and armor, both of which hold no interest for me. There's hardly any other reward than these essences, so just over a week in, I'm 'done' with one of the major activities offered by SotO.

So a lot of players are going to do them, I am not one of them but the main purpose to do them is for the new armor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's zero motivation, pun intended, to do rifts now. I just think no activity should have so small a scope for rewards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a lot of players there is motivation because they want to craft the new legendary armor. Maybe there will be more rewards in the future that we can spend all the essences from rifts. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
