While a nice idea, I think this boss is watered down too much with no real mechanics present or responsibilities needed.Freezie encounter at least had the rolling snowball which someone had to kite away from the rest of the group in order to kill the boss successfully. During this ice construct fight you can just dps in the middle ignoring most of the damage and outhealing it. It can be done with 2-3 dps classes in the squad. In order to get some raid-feeling these strike missions should force awareness and give more member responsibilities.

Lately I usually allow myself to buy 25 keys per month from my paycheck just for that short thrill of opening them. Might as well call it my guilty pleasure, and also the way to support the game. I have been doing this for the past two years. So I have opened around 600 chests in the last two years.Majority of times I get both exclusive items from uncommon category (gliders, mount skins, wepon skins etc) from monthly 25 chests.I have received a bundle of 3 golden black lion chest keys three times in total.On average I get 5-6 cases out of 25 when I receive 5 items. Most of the times they are weapon skins.I have never received a drop of glyph.I have got two home node drops.And luckily enough I have received 2 permanent contracts - bank and repair.

I get this POI approaching with a mount from above. When landing towards ground floor from above you have to carefully land by the walls, because if you fall too fast you will trigger teleport out. Other than that I got this POI with mounts for most of my characters (10 or so)

That's because Junundu event gives amalgamated gemstone and is faster/easier than Maw of Torment.

Well you can't play in LS4 maps without owning Path of Fire, so that is not an unexpected requirement. Getting trade contracts is the least of the problems here. Literally any chest in PoF maps, any PoF daily, adventure (including griffon challenges) gives you these contracts. Also if you have any Tyrian Exchange Voucher from black lion chests, use them to get 250 of those contracts per voucher.

To my understanding yes. You get 4 HC chests from 4 maps, but only from 4 fixed events.in PoF you also can get 4 HC chests, but for Vabbi and the Desolation you can pick which of the two events to do.I haven't tried doing both metas in Vabbi or Desolation, but according to patch notes you shouldnt get two of the same type chests per account per day.

So you can only do one meta per map? Seems an odd implementation - there’s no incentive to do one if u did the other That's how they stated in the patch notes: "For consistency with their Heart of Thorns™ counterparts, the Chest of the Bazaar Raider and Chest of the Forged Hunter have been renamed Domain of Vabbi: Hero's Choice Chest and The Desolation: Hero's Choice Chest respectively.Hero's Choice chests have been added as rewards for defeating the doppelganger in The Path to Ascension meta-event in Elon Riverlands and the Choya Pinata event in the Casino Blitz meta-event in Crystal Oasis.Path of Fire™ Hero's Choice chests are now guaranteed to give three Pieces of Rare Unidentified Gear. An offering of one Amalgamated Gemstone replaces the choice that was previously a Piece of Rare Unidentified Gear. These chests will be obtainable once per account per day." So for Vabbi and Desolation you pick one of the two events per map to get the Hero's choice chest. But you will get only one that-map-specific chest per account per day.

I think its only 4:Crystal Oasis - Casino/PinataElon Riverlands - Path to AscensionThe Desolation - either Junundu Rising or Maw of TormentDomain of Vabbi - either Forged with Fire or Serpent's Ire

My bad, there are 4 hearts on the map.So for one character: 4hearts x 5 crystals = 20 crystals per day + short mining (5 crystals) + 5 crystals from Dragonfall = at least 30 crystals per day [20-30 mins] TOTAL 9 daystwo meta events = 10 more crystals per character per day. Thats 40 crystals per day per character. TOTAL 7 daysif you have more than one lvl 80 character it can take a few days, maybe even one. But don't burn out by rushing this.

3 hearts x 5 crystals each = 15 crystals per character per dayassuming you do minimal mining in the map and get just 5 more crystals per day from mining thats already 20 crystals per chracter per day. Of course you can mine more than 5 crystals per day.5 more crystals you buy from Dragonfall vendor for volatile magic.So if you have only one character - you can get at least 25 crystals per day (approx 20 minutes of time for hearts and mining). that would be around 13 days to get 250. However you get 5 crystals per character per day if you defeat Zohaquan and 5 (maybe 7) from specimen chamber meta. So two metas in that map will give you at least 10 more crystals per day. If you plan to do metas and need karma, I recommend buying the Karmic Retribution from Volatile Magic vendor in this map. The metas have a lot of mobs which all drop karmic retribution.Doing metas even once per day on the Sandswept Isles + hearts + quick mining is 30 crystals per day (+5 from Dragonfall vendor). 35 crystals per day = a week to get 250 crystals.

I would not have stated the collection had i known what was involved. i done all the way up to sky scale saddle and gave up just over a week ago.Got up this morning and thought il give getting these currency's a try. I loged in went to sand swept isle and done the inquest heart to get Difluorite Crystal..and got nothing and loged out. Is it a bug then? every heart vendor in Sandswept isles is supposed to sell Bundle of Difluorite Crystals per character per day. i thought it was a reward for doing the heart. So i need buy them.i got 5 Difluorite Crystals .and a pounding headache. awesomeIts been like that in all LS3 and LS4 maps. After doing the heart you can buy limited amount of local currency for karma from that vendor.

So dont take it as a grind. For example during the collection I have found some activities I have missed during mine gameplay. For example in Desert Highlands - Dwarven mines with those plates and I have completed those weapon skins. Or on LS maps I havent finnished map rewards. So now I have all corsair skins + as I have figured it out, its a good start for the new Vision trinket. Or just do metas on maps, enjoy them, because later on they will be dead as used to be. Or you can do WvW or PvP for reward track. Final reward is 10 + selectable 50 and I dont count previous rewards. As you can see there are more ways how to obtain currency. the whole collection is grind.repetitive tasks over and over and over.read all the threads on the forums and reddit about itgrind is what some mmorpg s use as a substitute for proper content.guild wars 2 has gave up its values and abandoned a lot of its loyal customers who came to the game because it claimed to be different.check out there manifesto from 2010.Can you please stop repeating the same stuff (you clinging to the manifesto) over and over again in different threads? We get it, you don't like the collection and you stopped at the skyscale saddle (I think you posted the same content message at least 4 times in these forums). Some of us pointed out to you that the grind here is purely optional as the mount is just ay style item giving you no advantage over others and is also tied to legendary item. And mastery points from skyscale track are just numbers which also give you no advantage. However you keep on ignoring those posts and still see everything only one way, there is no point trying to show you any other way by now. Just provide a different type of feedback instead of shuffling words from your default statement and reposting it every day. Thank you.

There is more than 200 people here saying that material price is reasonable, and its a majority in this poll.And with risk of repeating myself I will just emphasize that there is no real grind needed for highest stat armor or weapons. All the essential expansion masteries are easily obtainable. Only luxury items, like this mount, require much more work. But gameplay-wise you have the same ceiling level as everyone else.Mastery points is just a shiny number which gives you no benefit (no loot scaling or related improvements). So not having some extra numbers because of mount mastery track is still in the category 'WANT', same applies to Raid masteries, which you probably don't have either and shouldnt worry yourself about.
