Seriously this lilttle "1 line-of-text nerf" really ruins this game for me.Not sure what to do when 3 of your 10 chars have beaten all 3 campaigns if no farming. I was so excited about Hardmode and other updates but this little thing just completely kills my GW gaming experience. Sorry Arenet, my initial intention to buy GW:EN is now gone. GG

I was excited about hardmode also, but this is an outrage. Im done with Guildwars if thay dont give us our drops back and im defenetly not buying EOTN inless thay fix this crap!!

im not sure about normal areas but i went into UW solo. Everything is normal, 75% of monsters i killed dropped something. I havnet found an ecto yet though :/

EDIT: finished smite run and came out with about 600gp of loot. Thank you Anet

Hard or normal mode?

lawby · Apr 20, 2007, 08:31 AM // 08:31

normal mode, sorry are you guys turning on hard mode?

Sk8tborderx · Apr 20, 2007, 08:33 AM // 08:33

I have not tried UW yet, but I am going to try on normal, I will post a screen of all of my drops after I am done.

HKSdivision · Apr 20, 2007, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Well I just did a solo run at a location, I used to fill up all my bags (or at least close to filling it all up) with the drops but I came home with only 7 items >_>

Then I went with a full henchie party and at the end I had 4 drops <_<

GG Anet!

lawby · Apr 20, 2007, 08:38 AM // 08:38

EDIT: huge mistake....each smite crawler group yields 1 or no items

Sk8tborderx · Apr 20, 2007, 08:55 AM // 08:55

That is all I got after a full smite run, I did not even get my entrance fee back.

lawby · Apr 20, 2007, 09:12 AM // 09:12

yep i also finished a smite run with similar results. looks like this marks the end of my time with guild wars. spent alot of time and money to get a farming character going over the past week, only to have them kill farming 2 days later. I know i sound like some whiner but this is just bs.

The Age of Farming has come to an end

Well this nice update just killer my monk and ritualist... i won't delete them though...And i just started buying 2 15k armors, now when i get enough money for them, it'll be new year's eve.

Though i see this hard mode very exploitable. It won't be long since some farming ideas pop up. Yep SOLO farming is dead, but i don't think that farming as such will die

darrengordon · Apr 20, 2007, 09:44 AM // 09:44

im lost are you guys doing this in normal or hard? im doing it in hard solo and duo and the drops are bloody ammazing just had 4 golds in one pull! where as norm one every 10 to 20 runs. I think guys you need to do hard mode as the rare drop has gone up in this one so it kind of counters the decrease in qty of players.
For one i love it my drop rate is thru the roof, the store of ecto i have will now double in price and my store of titan gems has just gone from 50k to 100k so i made 700k last night in titan runs lol
Sorry to all those who feel screwed though, i dont think its an end its just donw to uise to find new methods.
I think i remember similar threads saying end of farming when .... they now run from aoe spells ..... they now will change aggro from melee ..... etc etc

well i guess you just proved that this update will just make people who were already wealth even richer. Not every casual player in gw farms normal let alone hard mode. this update just made it extremly hard for the casual player to have any chance

True, but this time Anet messes things up in another way. No more loot when we solo farm. The times before we were always able to farm after some while, but just needed other skills etc. This time solo farming isn't profitable anymore (at least in normal), so why will we continue doing it (only reason will be the challenge)?

Have to get the protector titles for my characs now to see if hard mode is any different and if it really drops alot better like you said...

darrengordon · Apr 20, 2007, 10:33 AM // 10:33

True mate very valid point, its taken a lot of practice to do the farms i do and they aint easy. I agree for the average farmer who just farms for the odd 1-5k hour then this is probably gona suck if they cant come up with a build that will work in hard mode. All of the builds i use will be just the same in hard or easy mode.
Mind you try trapping its silly easy and should still work fine in hard mode.

darrengordon · Apr 20, 2007, 10:35 AM // 10:35

Ohh Koning you dont need protector title just to of finshed the game in normal mode

darrengordon · Apr 20, 2007, 11:26 AM // 11:26

really? thats cool.
But when i wanted to enter uw in hard mode on my warrior (no protector title), it changed to normal mode when uw loaded. A message said 'you don't have unlocked hard mode on this charac'. after this i havent tried it anymore.
