Well, seeing as I've gotten one green drop in Factions since it came out, at three times that rate I'll only have to put about four months worth of play into this weekend to get the drops I wanted.

Nah, it's not Kanaxai's Edge. It's way better than that IMO as I don't rate the Sundering prefix that much.

It's a gold Barbed Crenallated Sword of Fortitude.

You probably just hit the farming code or somethin. I was farming Swiftscale's Shortbow for a while and got it about one every three runs for a while along with several purples and golds, but now it's almost all whites and blues and it's been about 7-8 runs with no drop.

I love it , I can sit back and chill during the weekend and then buy cheap "greenis" next week for the "Hero's" in Nightfall.
LOL

I wonder how low the prices will be for greens next week.

kitsune23 · Oct 13, 2006, 04:05 PM // 16:05

If what happene dwith the Urgoz longbow after the elite weekend is any indication, expect a good price hit on Canthan greens.

Should be interesting to see, that and how many more will be added to the hard to sell list.

I've read all the theories about green drop rates in this thread and several others and I don't think anyone really knows what triggers them one way or the other. Though I suspect that amonsgst all the theories, one of them is probably correct.

The one thing I don't understand though is why would or should the drop rate be any different (however it's done) if I decide to go with henchies or human players? What makes the difference who I choose to go with if the drop rate is random or luck as some suggest?

I've farmed with both and to be quite honest, my luck is the same no matter which group I choose to go with. Rotten. Either the henchies get any green drops if there are any since you can't see them or some other lucky human player gets the green drop.

I just wish that the drop rate for whatever it is, gold, green or whatever would be equally fair for all players. The way it is right now I don't feel that's the way it's set up. Just my 2 cents on the matter.

DeanBB · Oct 13, 2006, 06:06 PM // 18:06

At least without henchies you can tell when a green is dropping at all. With henchies you always have to wonder if anything good did drop.

Sir Skullcrasher · Oct 13, 2006, 06:32 PM // 18:32

I would suggest those who can solo bosses in Cantha to do so on this 3x Green Drop Weekend.

Don't be ridiculous. You bought a year old game and you get year-old-game level support. ANet needs to make a profit so they spend their time and money on generating new products and servicing their latest releases.

I agree with this point with other technologies and software but not with this software (Guild wars) because this game is designed to keep you playing for months. I have been playing almost a year and I still haven't come close to achieving everything the game has to offer. I have Prophecies only and I have been playing one character only. I have 2 sets of FOW armor and still working on my first title. I have a long way to go and I refuse to buy factions until I accomplish everything in this game.

Also people are still buying prophecies. So let me put this in your tone.
Let take all prophecies games off store shelves. Why sell something you don't intend to support. Or, let’s just say Hey new customer you bought our product and thank but screw you! We don't plan to support you because you decide to buy a game we made a year ago (which we designed to be played for a year or more) so it's your mistake not ours.

To end, you know you are comparing a car to a video game right? You're not even in the same ballpark with that analogy. Did I say ballpark, I meant to say city oh hell how about your not in the same country with that analogy.

Anet,
How about investing some effort into fixing or, at the very least, identifying what causes lag and educate your customers. Here is a suggestion for an event. How about for one weekend you let greens from Cantha bosses drop from bosses in Prophecies for those of us who still play prophecies.

Did this start or is anet half an hour late as usual?

garethporlest18 · Oct 13, 2006, 08:09 PM // 20:09

I'm pretty sure it started as I got 3 Chkkr's in a row...

Lenny, give me one!

Big_Iron · Oct 13, 2006, 09:23 PM // 21:23

Has it started? I logged on when I got home, around 3:30 Eastern, and there was no download and still haven't had one.

Sir Skullcrasher · Oct 13, 2006, 09:30 PM // 21:30

whos up for some farming tonight?

Gli · Oct 13, 2006, 09:46 PM // 21:46

Is this active at all? Duo-killed 11 bosses over the last hour and no greens yet.

Since this is the only evening I get to play this weekend I sure as hell hope it's active.

badseed · Oct 13, 2006, 10:23 PM // 22:23

yes it started there are tons of sales for greens in all the typical sales places. plus in non xp zones all over where people are farming.

But typical greed most are asking for more than you use to find them by hanging out for 20 or 30 minutes.

Give a day or two and they'll be giving them away.....
