Whatever, gl to all who haven't gotten the compass yet, and grats to the dude who got it on his 5th crack.

I was over-complicating things, it seems. The easiest way to find your screenshot folder is to simply take a screenshot in game. Hit Print Screen, and the screenshot location pops up in your chat. Just take a new screen, and look in the folder GW displays in your chat window. Easy.

Exactly, and how would a screenshot prove he got the compass on the fifth chest in the Uplands after the update? I could open 80 chests before getting a gold celestial compass, take a screenshot, and claim I got it on the third chest. Who's the wiser? A screenshot would prove he got one from a chest, but by this point getting one is probably not all that amazing and could have been done by Bohya after making the first post in the thread (though getting specifically a max gold e storage compass would be a bit harder). The bigger question to me is when he got it (as the fifth chest would be amazing), and a screenshot would never satisfy a real skeptic in regards to that question.

Ok ... you can take scrennies of wherever you want .... but dont ask us to belive in you. I dont believe Bohya got one Compass, but i will change my mind if a see the scrennie. For me, it dosent matter if she got in the first, or in the fifty lockpick ....

R.Shayne · Mar 13, 2008, 01:09 PM // 13:09

I don't care how many lockpicks he used or how many chest he opened. I want a screen shot that proves that celestial compass drops from locked chest in Dalada Uplands. No screen shot means it didn't happen and I lost my screen shot sounds like the dog ate my work.

fro some reason this made ma laugh... take a ss, and if you cant find it. take a second SS to find the old one (which wont be found anyways because you cant find the folder

)... or you just take millions of SS's and search for the most bloated folder in your system

I'm pretty sure it's something like...

My Computer
C:
Program Files
Guild Wars
Screens

Oukanna · Mar 14, 2008, 10:39 AM // 10:39

Yeah it is in your Main drive, find your guild wars folder, you find your screens folder...though i know if you run Vista it is somewhere else. My bf recently got vista and he couldnt find his screens until he took one in game and looked where it allocated it in the chat, c drive> user> (your name)> guilwars> screens.
Something like that.

If you still can't find your screens folder...then that is really odd there is something seriously wrong with your gw, even if you delete the screens folder when you take another screenie it creates it again.

stretchs · Mar 14, 2008, 03:31 PM // 15:31

On vista the location for screens and templates are different

*in case he was using it

Maybe they have used over a 200 lockpicks like me and haven't seen it drop or had any confirmation that it drops in Dalada Uplands. I have done several clearing with other people and it still not dropping there.

afya · Mar 14, 2008, 07:54 PM // 19:54

I understand many of you feelings. I've used 50picks but doesn't even get one. However, I don't think people who got the drop have the responsibility to PROVE or SS it for any of us. Believe or not, they say they got it. All we can do is to either /giveup, /open. Or may be some of us will eventually get it and SS it.

I agree, pics or didn't happen!

I see nothing wrong with asking for proof to back up a claim. Because if someone is going to claim something to be true, a little evidence to back up those words holds alot more strength to their argument, rather than saying their statements to be truth.

You can disagree with the person who asks for proof all you want, but calling them an asshole; lets just say "look who's talking".

And if you forget to SS or whatever, that's fine, just don't expect everyone to believe you without evidence.

dread slayer · Mar 14, 2008, 08:24 PM // 20:24

I Just Want Any Weapon thts worth alot
I wasted alot of pix too ya know!
It just isnt fair....

Siirius Black · Mar 14, 2008, 09:19 PM // 21:19

Come on guys. I'm on my 120 lockpick already. (noticed that all of them say 13% chance to keep, ) and nothing good except for runes and golds.

I too want to have that compass, but there's no guarantee that I would ever get it. Its more the satisfaction of finding it... With the money invested in lockpicks I probably should have bought one .

I'm sure there's some people out there giving bad info to try to get the most of farming them, but what can you do? you either belive in other people or not. It just comes to that. its your decision if you want to invest your time and gold searching for it.

If someone finds it and provide a pic, excelent, if they dont, same thing.

Eventually the truth will come up in a few weeks. Then if they were misinforming people we will know because of their post, but unitl then there's no reason to doubut what they say.

okashii · Mar 15, 2008, 07:09 AM // 07:09

just out of curiousity - does anyone recall new files being added while zoning into Dalada Uplands after the new items update?

and IF it is really true that those items can be obtained from a chest there, maybe its some specific chest? <like the chest in raptor cave to drop Saurian Scythe or the chest in Boreas Seabed guarded by Oni for Oni Blades>

manitoba1073 · Mar 15, 2008, 09:08 AM // 09:08

in Vista the SS are in the documents folder.

R.Shayne · Mar 16, 2008, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Still no proof that the celestial compass drops from locked chest in Dalada Uplands?
