All this did was give fuel to the toxic lowlifes in guild wars imo. Baffles me the childishness of once kids now adults in a 25yr old game lol

Prices will level out eventually. it's not even known what players will have to go through yet to get these minis etc.

Prime example below & 10 fold in kam lately. So Anet has a bad habit of screwing with the mini prices mostly in GW2. What happened in this event upcoming is prime example.

Anytime a mini holds Any type of value in gw2 someone complains & cries to support then they release them to the public for some form of their RMT Gem currency. mostly black lion statuettes out of black lion chests.

Anet doesn't actually care about the people playing the game. Past practice shows this.

Is your vision so blurry from the tears in your eyes that you can't even identify what anniversary we are dawning upon? I'm guessing you had some mini pets stashed away buddy..

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I feel Stephen did a great job listening to the community, everyone's been talking about this for the past 3 years. Should have paid attention to what the community was asking for!

For Steam Deck.

That's wicked cool. Might have to get myself a steamdeck

The toxicity is not unwarranted, sorry to those caught in the crossfire who are innocent of the plague this has caused to the economy over the past 3 years and RWTing developed from this. That said, finally a depletion of those who have been dumping irl into, hoarding, and selling gold, all which is directly correlated to the minis. Most of these end up being bought or sold for irl cash so it’s about time it was nipped in the butt per-say. GG

The coping is real with these minipet people... Anyways

I got 55E on it

Quote from Unholy

Dev in kama just now. Make of it what you will

I asked them in party chat about any plans for 20th anniversary, and they said we should be getting new quests, including rewards of rare minipets that haven’t been available for years! Really awesome to see the ANET team online and interacting with the community!

This guy actually said exactly what they were going to do lol anet dev troll?

Quote from Sweet As Ice T

you maybe thought about the untradeable copies of the pets?

maybe they are not only not tradeable. Maybe you also can see it in their outer look? i was thinking about a "ghosty" version. Maybe like the celestial version of a kuuna und the real kuuna ...

That wishful thinking and serious coping there

Quote from Pleikki

Well see, there is that last line "And you'll want to keep an eye out for some other rare drops."

Maybe we get reindeers at drops and OS weps? or other minis

But what makes me wonder most is the line of randomized drops and ranges of mods, could this mean the skins drop OS in tyria/cantha and insc in nf and eotn? And do they also drop in pre ???

And do they drop in q8 then in the relevant areas (sword/shield/focus)

I’m thinking they will, I need me a req8 expertise chimperic prism with a +30 mod

Quote from Pleikki

Yeehaw, even more excited eventho its quite what was expected

i get to finally get a chimeric prism too

Bahahahaahahahahhaha GG mini pet nubs! Finally I can get my IG back lul alittle disappointed I can’t get a frog!

Wtb unded IG 50e

b/o jade sword

IF they do in fact bring back q7, q8, DR, etc to the global drop table, it would only be fair to bring back the key less chests too. Personally I'd like a coupon to make an item of my choice unconditional. xD

Side note, I would absolutely LOVE to see Team Arena's make a return. That was some wonderful content right there that should have never been changed. It'd be a huge trip down memory lane, and something everyone would get excited about. Hoping that was a teaser, and not just someone slapping a random image up. Please PvP updates for the 20th!!!!

If this image has a purpose: I could think of introducing an embark-like pvp outpost

They have since deleted the twitter post, and reuploaded with a picture of lions arch instead

A favorite of mine

Quote from Haxor

Granted, it took about 220 birthday boxes to get it. Maybe a few more. Still, beats Mad King #9, Charr Shaman #12, or Nian #15

Fun fact, disregarding the Shiro'ken Assassin, the least common drops I got from the boxes were MOX and Zhu Hanuku (both 3x), followed by the Flowstone Elemental (4x). The most common ones (seemed) to be Koss and Candysmith Marley, but I didn't count all of those.

May be a phenomenon, but I’ve noticed if I open the gifts on a certain character they give me the same mini pet. I’ve gotten 4 zunukus or w.e they are called on my warrior, 3 flowstones on my derv, and 4 bone dragons on my ranger. Strange

Retract

Quote from Pleikki

Ecto, In the end some pay 100a for single mod q8 staffs also. This is much rarer than most q8 10% staff that regularly hit 50a mark.

For years ive personally sold prenerf 1mod shields wands and offhands, even Core skins 10-20a each, think seen some rare skins like magma etc sell even higher here in legacy and exalted is among rarest prenerf skins around. It might aswell go higher

Dont need to be smoking to know what ppl willing pay, but as usual post for sale to find out

Pekki ensuring his entire single mod stash is holding its value so he can peddle it to the poor suckers who get tricked into paying 10a for a singlemod..

May the best chimp win is right, less than 10a is my price check for the ugly duckling

Quote from TiniWeni

Annoy Red Fireball You Say,

Imagen his storage had a nasty fire, all of his shields would burn to ashes as he watches helpless to save any of them

Red Fireball watching his Storage and shields go up in Smoke.

Red Fireball sorry mate.

Only a little man with a TiniWeni could think of such atrocious things… dw red I will defend your towers and defenders with my life!

750a

Quote from trademeimfamous

skipped from the first dps phase right to the cutscene!

I've never had this happen before and it was HM too, and i wasn't particularly attempting a speedrun

Someone showed me how to do this the other day! I don't recall the time we completed it in, but it was astonishingly fast.

Nice hammr and rod compatriot!

Gotta flex my Tyria-locked Ironman drop.

Thats a sick drop

Req8 +5e Eternal Bow

Quote from Mr. Clean(-Value)

A little Number fun

Woah bro chill, that fuzzy maths is already too complicated

I've been to busy to play FA recently so I haven't seen this behavior. That said, that is super lame. Has it been going on for weeks or just this weekend? Maybe just name drop the person here, and in the lobby, so people can get them dishonorable consistently as soon as they que. You could also record it, and send it to Anet support. drstephencw is also reachable via various platforms and occasionally on in game. I'd imagine he would hear you out. Hope this helps.

Got this as A drop on the Iron Ele.. Wish it was a Fire Staff.

306a, rationalize it however you want, but the bow should at least not be a polished turd in pve and that’s putting it politely. I’d rather have -10armor on a ranger.. And for pvp I’d never buy an imperfect.
Maybe the problem with collecting is people chucking away stuff into the dumpster xunlai chest to never be used, all while RWTing for it. A lot of new faces with armbraces appearing out of thin air.. At this point collecting is dead with how expensive a turd like this is and they should get out while they can.. For reference 6 months ago a q8 15%-5e storm bow fetched 250a… Good luck reselling this if you ever had though, more money than brains.

302a, does everyone understand rangers are naturally energy deficient or do people want to pay 300a for a imperfect near unusable bow… I get mangos want due to collecting bows but the other bids don’t make any sense… the only case this bow has going for it is to store energy while fighting e surge mesmers while in pvp….. Insanity

Sure, thanks for the Debbie downer view bluey

PvP sure it’s dead if you don’t know where to look, I get certain aspects of pvp though. It still has its moments of actual pvp. FA, RA, GvG, 1v1s.

PvE I’m not sure how that relates to kamadan as kamadan should not, and never should be correlated to PvE. PvE is alive and well if you seek it, there’s actually tons of fun stuff to do if you ask around and make friends to play with. A guild helps but there’s tons walking around the game interested in fun stuff.

Anyways have fun, it’s a wonderful game and most everybody is willing to help you if need be outside of the collectors world. Best place to start is Ironman, that has been the most unedited form of the game thus far for me and makes every drop exciting(as someone who has a nice collection on my main character).
Anyways, welcome back, if you need any help or guidance pm me. -Ascalon Arena

what's there to lose? There is no subscription fee, the game is still active enough, and we are coming up on the 20th anniversary.
