1500 dmg from 5 burning stacks with a -33% and -20%.
They should hurry and split the modalities.
We do have to learn 3x different moves?
We don't care, trust me, we just want balance, less conditions and less spam.

I don't have boons as a renegade ( i was vengeful hammer which give -20% and it's not a boon, Kalla's Fervor which gives -33% and it's not a boon, and paladin amulet, so i was near 2800 armor ). Didn't use any boons because i have few and they can corrupt.
It's simply ridiculous.

Can't wait to see the next expansion.

Ok at first it seemed that you had more chance to resist, but after being downed by a scourge in 5 sec i have to reconsider my idea of "conditions need more time in order to deal damage" ( with a -33% + -20% dmg from condi ).
It's senseless.
Still a condifeast and the modify really did nothing.

They should now remove traits which enhance condi durability and expertise.
The patch itself is good, but they didn't consider this part imho.
edit: nevermind, the patch did nothing. Still die in 5 sec with a 33% + 20% condi dmg reduction ( vs 1 single player ).

Some are avaible through TP but prices are way too high.
Probably in the next months we will se a way to get them ( gold sink probably ).

Danikat is making most detailed posts so far.
Helpful as hell.

As said, maybe a 4th path ( or more likely they could have removed the frozen effect in the third. but compared to the previous years, for those who don't handle well JPs, it's a nice upgrade ).

You should have stopped at "Necro".

To me it's simply part of the game.
This time we do have a easy, medium and hard path, which not all JP outside do have.
The possibility as you say do exist, but it's the game which is meant to be a time event... you are saying "i want it as a not time event".
I do agree a fourth patch could have be present ( with less rewards and with no time limit, which for quaggan part is 1min and 40 sec ), but even so the quaggan part is ok.
You asked about the fire in you first post, which makes me think that you were somehow close to it ( or managed to think that you could have been able to get there ).
Just try a little more.

If you want a skin, then winter presence could be a long term goal ( unlock the collection and do the seasonal parts, then the rest can be made during the whole year ).
SPvP and WvW reward tracks can reward you with some stuff which could interest you with its last reward
[ultimate Wintersday Gift
](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ultimate_Wintersday_Gift "Ultimate Wintersday Gift
")
There are also infusions.

Yeah, don't get me wrong i do agree with the number of tickets you decided.
I was praising the possibilities that system could offer.

One word.
Practice.
You will eventually find some confidence by doing the JP over and over, and then you will realize that is not that hard at all ( and the time granted is fair ).
Also, the last part is the easier ( Danikat here above made a nice post to show how to handle the JP ).
I started with the high diff and needed more or less 30 tries to accomplish the first chest.
Now is pretty easy though sometimes i miss something ( we are humans and it happens :lol: ).
The Quaggan ones has 2 sticks which could be the harder part, and since you can't practice on them but you have to redo all the path it could be frustrating, i do understand.

I like it
A full stack of keys is 25 for 2100 gems, and 25 won't allow you to take a rare reward, so you have to buy 5 more... but it would be a waste if you decide to pay for the 5 keys bundle, so maybe the player will buy the 25 keys bundle again, and so on.

It's a less than 2min jp, and ofc you can't respawn at the fire.

But it's the same.
He will obtain an item ( who cares about the skin, as the OP said ) which he couldn't have obtained if not as a long term goal.

> Minor corrections, there is 17 bosses (3 in wing 1, 3 in wing 2, 3 in wing 3, 4 in wing 4 and 4 in wing 5). Thus your first armor would be 150/17= 8.8 weeks, not calculating in the fact that Dhuum and certain bosses are more expensive.

I did count the minor bosses too, thanks for correcting me.

Could be an idea.
Instead of random seasonal stuff as granted, maybe a scrap which allows you with X tickets to chose what you want from a list.
Obviously the list would be
* Limited ( can't containt any rare tradable items like nodes or contracts ).
* Account bound ( whatever you decide to buy, it will be account bound. So you won't be able to chose a skin in order to sell it ).
* Common drops would be more reasonable because of the granted ticket.

> I'll give you an honest answer. BL-chests are RNG. This means you can get a useless item. It is what gambling is all about. If you don't like it, don't do it.
The RNG here is not the problem, as said many times.
It's the fact that even if you don't like the drop ( or it's a duplicate ) you can't trade it.
And because you can't trade, the duplicate items ( and i am not talking about teleport to friend or dyes, because the first can be stacked and used since there's no permanent one, and the second is RNG itself which can be TRADED ) should be fixed instead.
Trade or Check.
I don't see any other fair solution here.

I asked around in the past weeks and more or less the result was
* 300 ecto for a single boss.
* 260 ( discounted ) for all bosses needed to cap LI for all armor pieces ( light, medium or heavy. not all 3 ).
260 ectos are more or less 60g, and you need 150 bosses in order to reach your 150 LI.
So, 60gx 150 = 9000g.
Also, we must consider that it's a time gate long term goal, and currently we do have 19 bosses.
So, you will need 150/19 ) 7,8 = 8 weeks in order to complete your armor.
If you want to bypass the timegate with a shop boost let's say that each week could be worth 800 gems, so 5600 gems, which are worth 1420g.
You will have also to partecipate the raids, which is time spent, and if we assume that an hour of pure optimized farming is 20/25g ( let's say 20 ), you will need let's say... 6 hours per week to complete all the raids? so 120gx 8 = 960g.
So, a little recap
* Raid cost = 9000g
* Timegate Skip = 1420g
* Time spent = 960g ( this one is for the average farm, but we could consider that it could be way higher since it's an extra ).
* Total = 11380g = slightly less than 40k gems for a full set.
And you asked 400 per piece.

In fact it produces the opposite response. This is clinically proven in addictive gambling studies and also probably backed up by ANets own sales data, which is why you see things the way you do in the chests.

Changing this may not be to ANet's advantage financially. I know people don't like it...heck, I don't like it, but it's not an accident that it works the way it does.
It must have a value.
If i decide to **play the lottery** and i happen to
* win a prize i don't have but i want, i take it.
* win i prize i do already have, i sell it, trade it or give it for free.
**Here you can't sell duplicates**, and duplicates have no value if you already own the item.
It's not the same.
Even i RNG loot boxes games like overwatch, hearthstone, battlerite, paladins, etc... every duplicate you have is converted into currency you can use to buy something else ( in gw2 since there's no general currency it should simply rerolled into something else ).

That's the point.
Though the argument could be discussed, it's ridiculous to scream like it was a scam.
They could and they should write that better?
Indeed.
Still, i find hard that somebody who read the ads though that he was going to buy 5 new mounts for 20€.

GW2 Main balance issue : 80% of attacks are AoE
in Player vs. Player
Posted
You don't say.
AOE with a hybrid system like GW2's means spam of attacks, conditions and boons.
But they didn't do anything since the release, so they don't really care ( and the fact they decided not to split skills and mechanics among the 3 modalities says everything ).
* AA spam which deal 70% of total dmg or even more ( and confusion skill which works on AA too ).
* Condifeast with has no way to be mitigated ( no possibility to build -% dmg ) unless cleansed.
* Condition users which also deal a high amount of dmg throguh physical dmg because reasons.
* Boons AOE spam .
* Corrupt AOE spam.
* AOE spam also on AA.
* Persisten AOE skills ( want to shake hands with the genious who managed to create the Scourge elite ) which obviously can't be evaded even if you play good.
* Instant skills which can't be countered.
* Skills with the same animation which can't be distinguished from the others.
Let's be honest, the don't care about skills do relate between players.
They only care about PvE overall balance.
But since GW2 hybrid system has born already broken, then it's not their fault at all if the SPvP and WvW are a mess. It could have probably been more balanced, but still the system would have been definitely not good.
