SevlisBavles.3059 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Spoons as a trade-in currency, Spoons + Sunless runes as a trade-in currency, 250 of them, 500 of them, I don't care. I'd rather kill Tequatl 200 times knowing I'll get it in the end than doing him 100+ times and getting absolutely nothing. Sunless skins are perfect for Necros and for some are pretty much the ONLY choice. Don't lock them behind stupid RNG. It's been years now, please change it.

Strider Pj.2193 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The stats on sunless May be perfect for necros as you deem, however, the skin is just that: a skin. The stats, which make the weapons ‘perfect for necros’ can be obtained in many other ways. There is no problem allowing skins to be obtainable by RNG.

He never said anything about stats. This is purely a skin issue. And yes, it does take years to get a fair amount of the weapons. I've done Tequatl on a daily basis for about 3 years, round and about, and have 6 Sunless skins in total. That's 2 per year on average. Considering there are 19 skins, it'll take about 9 to 10 years to get them all. I understand his frustration. But I agree there's nothing wrong with having skins that are only obtainable through rare RNG drops. It just sucks for OP that it just so happens to be a skin set he wants. I have the same issue now with Scion weapons. But I'm not advocating for a more guaranteed way to obtain them. Some things should require patience and dedication. This is an MMO, after all.

Randulf.7614 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I don't think a currency, but maybe after 100 kills or 200 kills if one hasn't dropped via rng. Then it's the best of both worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I like the spoon trade-in option, but that vendor should have more than just the Sunless Weapon skins (and really only the skins, not the actual weapon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Hayes.6890 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 No item that is account bound should be rng only. That is just stupid by design. It is literally possible to kill teq every day the rest of your life and not get this drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't lock them behind stupid RNG. It's been years now, please change it. If you wait for Anet. It’ll take forever or never since Zhaitan is done for. Just now, I got a hoard. And it’s just my second run. I’ll keep on farming and hope for a 2nd one. Just keep farming daily and you’ll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lalocat.6793 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 At the very least they could replace the regular ascended drops with hoards. Last two times I came up for a nice drop from this event it was not a hoard, which is the whole reason I do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormcrow.7513 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Since beta I have gotten 3 sunless weapons and I do Teq almost every day. I agree 100% with the token idea. Even 100 spoons makes it viable. To those who say it is just a skin. Well GW2 is all about skins isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I was happy because I thought you got a Scion Weapon for every 1K chests you opened (in addition to RNG). Then I learned that was a one time thing and got very sad.

Luthan.5236 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Maybe the skins as random diret drops (no chest) that are sellable at TP? (And the chest with the full weapons as account bound rare thing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I learned that was a one time thing and got very sad. Me too. I also made a decision on which weapon to pick with the internal caveat that I would eventually be able to get another choice down the road. Even though I do quite of bit of that awesome and fun meta, I doubt that I will ever get another choice, let alone somehow complete the collection. Whoever somehow manages to get all the skins should get the title "RNG MASTER" in caps which changes colour and pulses with the skin aura. I joke but that would actually be cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares? Pressing 1 at the most braindead content in the game should be rewarded with a guaranteed ascended weapon ? And your reasoning is "because it's green and has black smoke"?

Make it excotic, who cares about it being ascended, by the time you've done Tequatl enough to earn enough tokens or whatever to buy it you've got ascendeds falling out your ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what would be the problem with that? "pressing 1 at the most braindead content in the game" gets you also almost a complete equipment full of legendary gear. If people were principled they would also take issue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emberstone.2904 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'm 100% for a guaranteed-over-time sort of thing for this. I've played GW2 since beta and I've only gotten one Ascended drop from Tequatl. It's pretty stupid how low that drop rate is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 They are quite easily obtainable. There are 5 occurrences of tequatl each day, each time you will have a one a gazilliomillion chance. That means if you keep doing 5 fights each day, until the day you die, there's more than 1% chance you'll see a drop in your lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like any ascended skin, true, but it also oozes a black vapour when drawn.

Not just this, you should also be able to use unique map currencies to buy other kinds of ultra rare meta drops e.g. Vial of Liquid Aurillium for Lumps of Aurillium and Pile of Auric Dust.
