Randulf.7614 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 So if we did them all once...itdoesn't count? That's got to be a bug. Then again seeing how poor the rest of the episode is...nothing surprises me anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 If this is true? Yeah no, this isnt worth it. I completed the whole set of restored weapons. No way im making them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashberry.4510 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Didn't they do the same with the LS4 ones, Astral I think? Long term goals for normies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Fey.1035 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 In what way do they need to be remade? As in: 1. you need the Restored Boreal Weapon as a recipe component to create the Illuminated Boreal Weapon? 2. the achievement for Illuminated Boreal Weapons does not retroactively unlock even if you still have all of the Restored Boreal Weapons?

Linken.6345 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Then they should just resend the weapons to everyone who got them unlocked problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't need to have the weapons for Stellar. Just unlock them. Same with the Dragonsblood. Last time this happened was Caladbolg, and they offered a way to re-obtain them.

Thank you, was a little bit turned around (need more Desert Coffee). It makes sense for the weapon to be required for the next tier, but in the same breath they should do what they did with precursors and put a note on the tool tip "Used in creating X". Coming along 2 months later with "SURPRISE you should have kept X" when most people already have dozens of Berserker weapons so would mostly only hunt the achievement is absolute lunacy.... THORN!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisaria.8136 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Yeah I'm absolutely sending in a ticket to have them restored to my inventory. Completely ridiculous padding if they think it's reasonable to make people remake them just because they as devs didn't know they were gonna want to go in this direction with them ahead of time. If they won't restore them, I'll just never make them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediwolf.8724 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The recipe is: 1 restored boreal greatsword 2 amalgamted draconic lodestones 10 globs of ectoplasm 35 eitrite ingots I am hoping they figure out a way to give these back to us if we no longer have them. Something along the lines of broken Caladblog but much cheaper. Not the 10 elonian wine per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not really first tier of the weapon wasent even a physical thing only a skin you had to buy to be able to craft tier 2. Why couldent tier 3 just be a skin to buy aswell?

jediwolf.8724 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 At least refund us the inscriptions. Berserkers Ori inscriptions are not cheap to buy or make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephire.8049 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I sent in a ticket for mine to be restored as well. I would have fine having the Illuminated weapons require the Restored one for crafting _if_ it was released at the same time and it was clear that that was the case. However, A Whisper in the Dark released November 19th and they didn't say anything about having to hold onto upwards of 16 weapons for months to craft the next tier. Especially when the previous tier only required the skin and Astral and Heroic weapons only required the skin and related achievement. What should have happened is that to buy the Illuminated recipes you simply had to have completed Master of the Ancestral Forge. Put that as a requirement and remove the need for the actual Restored weapon in your inventory. Here's hoping they change it—or at least return salvaged weapons—because I am not grinding out a whole new set of Restored weapons because someone thought it would be a "nice" surprise.

Luckster.4076 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well, I'm genuinely angry. We had absolutely no way of knowing we'd need to hold onto these weapons for another stage. Not a single solitary word was said of it in the descriptions or from the NPCs. Nothing. And as previously pointed out, Berserker Inscriptions, and T6 Blood Vials in general, are not exactly cheap. All this does is send a message from Anet to not actually DO anything. No collections. No Achievements. Do absolutely NOTHING until everything is done. Because they very well may just pull another fast one. "Oh you completed a collection for all 3 weights of an armor set? Well, we're introducing another tier of it. Hope you actually KEPT the armor and aren't actually using it on anyone right now! Would be a shame if you put expensive runes on it too!" I am absolutely entering an angry ticket about this later. It's bad enough finishing The Moot went on hold because of how much t6 blood I used for the collection. This is just a sticky loogie to the face, followed by a slap. **Update:** I did submit a ticket and GM Fiction restored the weapons to my account, so I am quite grateful for that. It doesn't make the situation any less annoying, as now I have to paranoidly wonder if there are other armors and weapons in the future I will need to hoard in case this happens again. Bellecoso is practically full up on hoarding overflow. Time to assign another toon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intox.6347 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It looks like a joke, but its real ... its like fallout76 style of thinking :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maerad Moore.3481 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hey Anet, this is not okay... After crafting and unlocking the skin, I'm pretty sure almost everyone salvaged the Restored Boreal weapons. And this is coming from a legit hoarder.

Manasa Devi.7958 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 This is pretty unreasonable. I guess changing things so we don't need the actual restored weapons will involve some work, so how about meeting the community half way and add unlocked restored weapons to a vendor?

Linebreaker.7904 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Adding my voice to this debacle. Yeah, I'm not happy with this. Like most people I salvaged the weapons. This is a poor reason to replay the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1763 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 WOW, wth anet. I salvaged those shortly after obtaining them. Make them function the same as the first to second tier, CONSISTENCY is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 of course I salvaged every single restored piece - they are worthless for anyone with any decent play time. And no warning that this crappy stuff might be needed later. Really a bad move. But... the whole episode was kind of underwhelming so far. so... no surprise actually. Reusing open world events for story steps... reusing music from Pof (or at least it sounds like it was in PoF) and a map that is missing the grandious beauty of the the other shiverpeak maps without the horrors of Orr. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm wondering who was surprised. Its also peculiar that this is the discussion instead of whatever is going on in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
