Yey!
Today i achieved my initial goal on my HC ironman, and got leg VQ, Guardian and leg master of north! i think that's about done now, since i am not farmer and rest titles would require that for Gwamm
8,5 months ago when started this project, my though was to make it harder than usual ironman etc (was before the current batches), so i decided these main rules additional to normal HC ironman (I bought 100% fresh account too for it)
- No second professions on me or heros (i used 2nd prof to cap elites but thats it)
- Only single attribute skills in one build (ie, only Curses skills or only Healing skills, i allowed "No Attribute" skills like res sig).
- No skill traders ofc same as no mat, rune etc traders. So i tried building builds 99% With hero skill trainer skills only as i got some hero skill pts (i ended up capping 2 normal ritu skills, everything else was from there, couldnt make 8 ritu skill of same attri otherwise)
Now, 8,5 months and tad over 1000 hours of gameplay finished last vq
Ran 99% of time:
Me: Necro SS myself all except for some 4man vqs i ran BiP
Heal prayer monk
Prot prayer monk
Death magic nec
Blood Magic nec
Channeling ritu
Dom Mes
Dom Mes

-

Post auction.

-

^ yeah i used to own it way back (2010), but as ecto pointed out EK has it now
-
Some shields cant drop q8 tho and are still prenerf, and also demon mods only happen in cantha, so all OS skins cant be demon modded.
Echovald and q9 outcast def possible, i sold q9 tac 10demon/2we outcast few months back for like 200a.
Q8 demon shields have sold, but not on those skins afaik

Ive seen earth bos sell 30-40a in kammy recently. Id guess 50-60a

If they put back OS items that were avaialble as insc before, I hope they will release only insc items as OS.
One dungeon would drop OS scythes / skins could be very cool.
Wouldnt arm existing items value but would create new items to hunt for.
Ehm. Would effect all the mauso spears and scythes

From my perspective, GW is running out of pre-nerf things to collect soon, and some measures have to be taken to keep the game attractive for a larger and/or remaining player base. And as a collector trying to think of ways to do that, I think the best option is to add existing items.
Like for example q8 items — they used to be really common, perfect ones sold for a few ectos, and now after time has passed, the same items sell for hundreds and thousands of arms. Even those q8 swords that still drop. Sure, I agree removing unobtainability takes away some scarcity, but it shouldn’t be all that matters.
The point is, if done correctly, I think adding things will be good for the whole community. If we take the example of that Rolex and let’s say one new one is added every year, it wouldn’t make that big of a difference to the previous ones.
As for GW, I think if all q7 and q8 items dropped again with tiny odds, it could bring a lot of players to hunt for them (some short term and some longer), and maybe it motivates people to play longer, keeping the game alive. It would also help the dying collector community since more items would be on the market (Kamadan has been dead af for years). I would be more than thrilled — sure, these hundreds of q7/8 items would lose something, but it could make it possible to obtain more q7/8 that are not possible anymore, and at least for me that would motivate me to log in for another 10 years more than looking at an empty Kamadan.
I can see Anet attempted to do this with the latest update, only one foe at the end of the dungeon, and after the hype ends it might stabilize and we won’t see that many in the end. But we’ll see, and everyone has their own points of view — I hope everyone just respects them all and stops that stupid flaming. -
Sorry for a long wall of text in advance.
As someone who has also been affected by these changes, I give my two cents to the discussion. For reference, I have Krytan, Serpent, Crysta and many 3-mods and all that. I am affected probably more than most, in both good and bad ways.
First of all - I welcome all these changes! I don't really personally see it affecting the big picture much, and I am more happy with new content and I am quite excited about hunting for these new things, even if they do seem a bit too common, at least from a short perspective. The future will tell how it turns out.
As many others have stated, GW has a unique, great scale of different kinds of items to drop, and even if some "old treasures" are added to the drop pool, there are still so many more prestige items to collect, and many things exist in drop pools that still have never even dropped to this day after 20+ years. Just move forward into something else than crystas or something, if you feel GW is ruined because you cannot keep hunting them because it's no longer "prenerf".
I like to think collecting is a journey; it's not about owning the items, but the main thing is the memories and effort we make for them. That hasn't changed even if some items we want or own are now worthless. I think that is irrelevant, if the journey has been done and the items sit in a "vault" as a memory of the journey, that's all at least I want from a game like this. I surely can't speak for everyone, but that's at least my case, since I wouldn't sell them anyway.
For example - I think I have the only active gold Krytan axe from before the update. I still remember so well the moment, after all these years, when I managed to buy it and how happy it made me. I still have the item that I would never have sold anyway - so what if new ones pop up? It's not as prestigious, sure, but after 20+ years in an old game, who cares lol. Right after I achieve something, I put my mind and hunt into new things, and I think most people do the same as well. That's the great thing in GW, there's always something else to go for.
With so many things to hunt, I highly doubt that everything will become available and lose its value. I do think that with fewer different "rare" items, the remaining "rarities" will rise in value; that has happened with minipets and happens always. Since there seems to be an unlimited source of currencies and fewer items to buy, even as an owner of a lot of other prenerf things as well, I am not happy about that side. For some it's a good thing, I suppose (the people whose plans are to sell things), but for a large majority of players it makes many things even harder to obtain, and that's the real issue here, in my opinion. I can see trading going even more into item vs item trades, and new players can't reach rare stuff; that's a real shame.
For this matter, I think that allowing prenerf things to drop would be a good thing. But it has to be done correctly and the odds have to be really small, so it doesn't completely crash the market. I think the majority would agree that it would be better to have more "affordable" items to collect instead of just a few items that are almost extinct. Otherwise, the collecting game is soon over, unless new players and items are brought into that part of the game.
But with that in mind, I would like to remind for the third time that many things that still drop (and have for decades) are insanely rare. Something being "prenerf" has too much value, in my opinion. The hunt, or as I like to say, the journey, isn't yet over with a few skins and additions.
What does make me sad, though, is if they decide to remove items from the past completely, like the 3-mods they said they will. I wish they would rather make them non-usable or something if they feel it's game-breaking, and let us have our trophies

Ppl seem to forget 2weeks said they will bring OS items to chest too back when they fix the bugs.
Im waiting for OS +5e eternal blade when that happens

There are more new drops to add from the last updates.
Gold OS Crystal, Krytan-Axe and Tyrian Serpent Axe drop from the new Varny.
Maybe other new stuff will be added here as well. I read something about new mini pets ?! 🤔
Miniature ghost of althea seem to be atleast one of them, maybe another will be Varny orso

When the update came, i knew i had to get some names cus theyre so cool so "hoarded" that ~10 of them i could, just cus its cool and one day i might find use for it. And yeah few of them for sure i will, others might just sit as storage
Didndt think about the selling aspect nor about receiving my own nick/ someone elses at all, just to get some gw related stuff that would be cool! Didnt even try to get "Pleikki" cus yeah to me thats not gw related lol (hi to whoever got it lol), until tried that someone took it when read about that here in legacy hah.
I understand the cooliness of 1 word names and the market in them, nothing wrong with buying/selling them imo, when it comes to gw related names

I have a few screenshots (the infamous “Charr Ghosts”):
- The names are mistranslated. In English, they don't have the “Charr” name. But in French, they do.
- That doesn’t rule out a difference in HM in this dungeon. Depending on the situation, you won’t face the same monsters in HM.
- I assume, you won’t get the same rewards—purple or gold, depending on the situation in the final chest (see below).
- I tried doing the quest directly in HM for the first time. Or only the second time in HM, other caracter, account, etc. But I don’t know what factors influence it...
Explanations of the images below:
- In the first image, you can see that the translation isn't correct (Eng/Fr). But that's not all.
- You can also see Horsemen (Skin: Banished Dream Rider). In the same location, they aren’t present in the second set of images. The monsters’ names are also different in these two situations.
- Finally, this isn’t the only place where this happens—it occurs throughout the entire dungeon. For example, in the second set of images (the one on the right), there may also be “Charr Ghosts” in that spot (etc, etc..).
- The version with the Horsemen is more difficult compared to the one where the monsters are the same as when you first enter the dungeon (before unlocking the dungeon quest and triggering HM). The latter is very easy (too easy...).
- Having played both versions in HM: with basic monsters = 2 purple items in the final chest in HM. With “Charr Ghosts” + Horsemen = 2 gold items in the final chest in HM.
And you what version of monsters and drop did you get in HM?
According wiki (and my experience) after first finish u get the horsemans
-

I suppose its due to skill balances? Or?
I wish they used the nerf hammer more than just constant buffs

k 2nd question. What if the buyer takes the name after an hour on one of their alt accounts and says they never got the name? would the mod pay the buyer or give back to the seller?
Id say if trade mod offers safe manner, he should pay out of his pocket in this case as guarantee or offer different way to do it.
I guess one option would be that the trade mod has extra account just for this, he lets the buyer have access on the particular account (with char named what ever hes buying) and him only to delete old char and make new on other account, it could be agreed that after the char is deleted the buyer has gotten the name (at little risk)

The purples i dropped from foes were OS so i aasume the crysta above was too
-
2Weeks out here giving us yet again more inscribable items that no one wants
Anyone seen these new minis yet? Wonder if they were added to the pre-version of the chest as well?
Probably still didnt find a way to bring OS items back..
Well time will tell and same goes for possible minis. Hope many post their drops so we see what kind of stuff coming! Does HM drop 2 items?
