Pirindolo.9427 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 If they run events with random (and ultra rare) rewards that are the only special and valuable items among a long list of common, everyday trash, the % of people participating in them that will have a negative perception of such event will be equal to the % of people that didn't get any of the ultrarare special reward. Special events should have special rewards based on participation, not on luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I had fun during the entire event, which is pretty _rare_ at least for consistent stretches inbetween patches :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShiningSquirrel.3751 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Got nothing but trash. I actually played less then I normally would have because the boss fights where just far to over crowded. Not even really a problem with the crap drops as much as the event just was not any fun at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexybeast.7046 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I only did around 80 and got one exotic (twin blades?), my friends had over 170 each and they got nothing too. A currency system for hard work would have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a couple of exotic weapons with a skin I had not unlocked before. Also, a couple of Charms from salvaging Rare armor. I did about 20? WBs, if that many...so far. Edit: Ahh, was explained above.

They should have both, but they deff shouldnt have ultra rare and expensive rewards tied to participation, unless the participation requirement are very very demanding at least.

Ashantara.8731 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Welp, so far no luck. However, since I have only done four rotations during the whole week, I don't feel cheated (like those who have grinded their hearts out). At least some of the boss fights _are_ fun to participate in, so it's okay. I agree that, when it comes to those new chests, participation in the event does feel unrewarding.

Teratus.2859 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Nope but I wasn't honestly expecting to.. I have bad luck with RNG in general so I learn not to expect much from it. That said I did get a lvl 80 exotic staff with choice of stats and lots of ecto from all the rares salvaged so it wasn't a bad week ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrita.7846 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Opened a stack of boxes, got nothing of value. So glad I wasted my time with this trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Boy.7138 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 i didn't get anything, and i haven't heard of anyone getting any of the rare infusions that could drop. big waste of time and big let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I didn't do it. Was not much motivated, and after hearing from guildies that they got nothing interesting, it kept me definitively away from it. The lack of interesting rewards seem to be a quite common feedback.

Nidarrock.5692 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Nothing from the new event boxes, but can not say I've done too much, maybe only an hour every day. An EbonMane's box dropped from Teq, so there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Naw. I didn’t do this event. I previewed the loot table and saw it was matts in the first section and infusions in the bottom section. I knew that the infusion drop rate would be “lol. You’re dreaming if you think you’ll get one” which meant it was only mats. Said to myself, ‘thanks but no thanks’ and did other things instead.

dceptaconroy.7928 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Bloke in my map received the chakk infusion after 50 odd boxes. He was just back to the game after a long time away, 5k ap. What a welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousNaru.1705 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Terrible event. World bosses are very time consuming only to get absolutely nothing. I assume they kept the drop rate the same as the boxes from festival of four winds. Except with 4 winds I personally bought thousands of boxes with trash mats and globs, this event I only managed to kill a little over 50 bosses. I understand that not everyone should get super rare drops, but other than the drops being too rare the boxes hold no value they added too many useless low grade items that serve almost no purpose but to waste our time. Anet fails to implement a proper reward system yet again, they needed to make this event reward you for time spent and bosses killed. As for the amount of infusions dropped I can only assume barely any because during the 4 wind festival chak infusion/confetti almost sold out on the tp to the several 10k orders, this event barely any sold AFAIK. I hope they take this as a learning experience to craft a proper and logical reward system based on time spent and not some bs RNG with trash tier 1 mats.

Gop.8713 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Nothing for me. I only had 45 boxes bc I quit after Thursday so I could get this week's wvw pips out of the way before the new ep comes tomorrow :) Even my 45 unid rares didn't give me a single exotic :( I did get two new skins from the regular boss loot, only worth around one gold apiece but I like new skins so I'll take it . . .

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 My interest in this event waned after about 5th or 6th boss kill. Sure if I hadn't killed them before or had all the achievements, yay and all, but as I do, it really wasn't worth the time. But if this did expose new players to world bosses, something they might never have seen before because they don't know about the event timer, or weren't on the map at the right time, then I guess overall it's a good thing.
