Mists and Monsters - the least rewarding content yet!


Recommended Posts

3 rares and < 2g of craft materials that are QUICKLY dropping in price.

Looking at a meta that has a chance to fail and is very fun that's going to give less gold/hour than even SoTo metas!

I thought Amytas and Unlocking the Wizards tower were bad, with their < queensdale gold/hr..but wow. This one really takes the cake.

Can you please start adding appropriate rewards to your content?

It's fun, but without a reward, there's no reason to continue to play it for long periods of time.

It also has a chance of exclusive spear skin which is quite desirable at the moment.

It was better when you could loot both bosses. It's a shame they took that away a couple of weeks ago. I don't think it's massively undertuned, but for 15 mins+ investment I'd be open for a bit more to keep it alive past JW next year

Maybe a chance at some rare decorations and ascended boxes rather than just the usual extra unids. That'll be enough to keep it going as we see with Tequatl which is of similar length

Are you entirely sure it's alive now? The vast majority of times I've been on a map with it active, it had maybe 3-5 players and was doomed to fail. 🤷‍♂️

You need to join a map instance via LFG that is actively doing the meta.

Yep. I’ve done it several times over the festival period without issue and 2 of those were in the early hours of the morning

If I thought I had any realistic chance of getting the neat looking spear skin, I'd probably do it more often. The chance is so low I could farm the event for years without getting it so .. not gonna bother.

They made a lot of the SotO rewards available through Gharr Leadclaw for map currency on the last SotO update. Hopefully, they'll add this spear skin to his inventory too otherwise there doesn't seem to be much chance of getting it.

Once it gets to the vendor a lot of its appeal falls away as well tho. A big part of the reason ppls want it is bc ppls don't have it. And then there are ppls like me who love pursuing the thing but don't really care about getting the thing. I did Knaebelag multiple times a day towards the end of the soo cycle bc I could never get his stupid sword to drop, but by the time it was available at vendor I'd moved on to other things and didn't care about buying it either . . .

But I do think adding it in to the vendor *after the content is no longer the new thing* is a positive, give ppls a chance to get it if they really want it for its owe sake . . .

If you get a job, then you might not need to play game content based on gold efficiency 

I have a job, and I'm smart enough to not waste my hard-earned cash on gold in a video game.

Ah, so you're one of those who thinks everything posted represents the opinion of the person posting it . . .

Apologies for being able to perceive things from other perspectives . . .

EDIT: went back and looked at the post you quoted and it's even more embarrassing. You didn't even get to  the third sentence lol ; p

The way I see it, you're either pulling out the credit card for Anet OR you're essentially doing the same thing but it's your electric company for the usage in monthly killowatt hours that were spent farming gold by other methods. There's no right or wrong way. It's up to personal preference.

Me personally, I would much rather have my hard-earned money go to a company that I respect & support such as Anet. They've opted to not force a subscription model on it's player-base and they don't employ shady gem-store practices.

Let me clarify my statement.

I did the event today. Started on Decima, then went to help the group at Greer, as they were behind.

My character died with Greer at 3% health. In fact, a lot of people at Greer died near that point. Decima was defeated, and the 30 second timer had started. 

I did this event in the past, where the group failed at 1% health on one of the boss. This didn't happen once, it happened it a few times. Time ran out, not enough DPS. Lots of people dead and not using the waypoint to run back to help out. 

This time around, the event succeed. However, by the time I waypoint and ran back to help out, Greer had gone down. As I said, I got the event chest, but when I tried to open the six bonus chest, I was told "You need to be present at Greer's demise  to open the chest". 

So I did the event only to be denied the bonus chest. What a waste of time!

Why Anet couldn't provide the bonus chest, like the event chest that appears above the mini map is beyond me.

Anything that has a chance to fail is good as it makes the player apply themselves.

I agree, I wasn't using chance of failure as a negative.

I was saying that it's well designed in that it can fail, but the rewards do not match the design of the encounter.
