You have to serve your newest product. |
Gaile has said on several occasions that there would be no more updates for Prophecies, but why exclude it from events such as this? I do a little coding and I can't imagine that it would be any more difficult to increase the green drops Tyria than it would be for Cantha. But I feel like I'm beating the dearly departed horse. Anet isn't going to change their minds. I think we should move on and try to make the most out of what we're being given.

That, and Win98 was actively supported by MS for several years after the release of XP, not dumped immediately upon the release of a new product.
Terra Xin
cool I might actually get my Ssyn's staff with henchies this time.
Sorry to hear about the unlucky drops for some of the people here. The first time I farmed Sskai I got about 5 of his greens in one day. :P

Supported yes, but given new features, no? The win98 example is ok, but a better one is Xp vs Vista, Vista is getting DirectX 10, Xp won't, though Microsoft will continue to support XP Sp2 for several more years after Vista is released in January (maybe).
As far as things still being on the shelf and available for purchase, you can still buy HalfLife AND Counterstrike: Condition Zero. Do you really think you get much in the way of anything as far as 'support' goes for those games these days outside of bug fixes to possible security holes

Yeah people really need to get over the "what not tyria" i would think by all this time you wouldn't be surprised. As someone said, once Nightfall comes out the same will happen to Cantha so rest easy. It's how the game works and if you don't like it there are other games you can try.
Alleji
Meh. I'll just wait for prices to plummet (further) and then buy the few I want.

A better example might be other software, but the basic standard is once number 2 comes out number 1 just gets forgot about. Anet is acutally doing VERY GOOD by even minimally supporting Tyria (new greens, they got the new falg inferface in the preview, etc).

eh the only green i farm is scar eater and i get about 20 out of a 60 run so im happy as it is
the economy is always down anyway. but people still sell items for 100k + XX ecto and pppl still buy them.
ill bet when nigthfall comes out and people start farming greens they will be worth 100k + and people will still buy them even though they should know by now w8 1-5 days and the price will drop 60k at least and w8 a couple more and its like 10k

You know, if you look at the view point of "Why not to include Tyria" that has been stated several times, its a wonder they dont just suggest that the Tyrian servers be shut down.
"Its the old product so no one cares about it anymore" Well if no one cares about it anymore why even have it there?
If its going to stay up and people are still going to play in that campaign, then there should be special things going on in it. Maybe not at the same time as the Canthan events, but it doesnt mean it should be excluded entirely.
And as I recall, when companies like Microsoft stop providing patches for their products, usually independent software designers start. The downside here is, the ToS stops us from tampering with the software.
But the point is valid. Just because something is old, doesnt mean things stop getting done to improve it. And just because you're driving an old car, doesnt mean you cant drive it in the parade once in awhile.

Not like I really care that much..since chances are the only green I'll be getting is Arrahhsh's Aegis.Since it has the same stats as a Buckler I currently have but a different skin.

/offtopic:
As for the "Why not include Tyria mentality" theres is a simplier explaination.
If we look at the recent barrage of events of which some are factions exclusive only, it quite clear that faction sales/gameplay falls short of expectations and hence these weekend events were employed to keep player's attention to GW until the release of Nightfall while trying to selling a few more copies of factions before no one ever looks at it again once Nightfall is released.

Oh so true, and I agree. It's as if they're saying:
"Look, umm, Factions doesn't suck! Cause it's got, like, umm... events that, uh, Prophecies doesn't! See? Isn't that kickass!? So there! Factions doesn't suck!"
They have to frantically squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube before Nightfall comes, too. Since they probably realize that once Nightfall is released, everyone will pretty much be saying "Factions, what?" and "They have Chapter 1, and Chapter 3, but what was Chapter 2?".
Terra Xin
That is so true, our guild was having a discussion about it, myself and a couple of others were like "I'm ditching Factions when NF comes out !" :P.
Beourg
This is the first, and hopefully the last, post that I will do on these forums. Generally I just haven't felt the need to post anything, as I have been pretty happy with Guildwars in general, - both Prophecies and Factions. It's kept my spare time occupied for over a year now.
BUT, - all I ask is that this upcoming green weekend be extended to Tyria too. PLEASE!

Personally I think everything will go down in value. I usually religiously farm greens when I am bored and get a drop the first three times most of the time, but that is of course soloing certian areas like jaqui's and stonereaper.

You are EXTREMELY lucky if you get them within the first 3 kills Bloody >_>

Over the past 3 months I've been trying to get Sskai's Sword with no luck. At the last count I've killed him 378 times and he hasn't dropped it once. I soloed him each and every time yet nada!
Perhaps this triple drop weekend will finally allow me to strip the snakeheaded miscreant of his sword.
By the way, it wasn't all in one sitting. I am aware of the anti-farm code, so this was about 10 times a night all inbetween gathering faction to trade for amber.

Lol if everyone has x3 in the Deep than really your chances are still the same as those greens drop EVERY time he is killed.
BoondockSaint
I for one am thankful that A-net is doing this becuase there are some greens i would still like to get my hands on. as for the Tyria not being included, it does not really bother me but it again brings up the issue as to wither A-net will continue to encourage its previous campains through plot or events. My suggestion has always been for the new chapters in GW to build of the previous ones.
such as the next installment would be were you would go backto presuade the human kingdoms to raise an army to head north and take revenge on the charr while investigateing the rumor that an Orr fleet may have survive their disaster. new characters could be formed in the new lands while old one would have to complete the end quest (so i can finally get a team to finish the last SF mission and the final titans mission anyways im off topic, i would guess A-net did this to help us get those greens for our heros for NF.

I can think of a few greens to be gotten for later use Nightfall heroes will need some weapons 
I just REALLY hope that they fix the ecto drop rate, it has become a REALLY rare item for me again

The x3 Drop Weekend is for drop rate, not drop quantity. That means that greens will be three times more likely to drop. That doesn't mean that if a green drops, three copies of it will drop.
Kanaxai will be unaffected by this event because he, like Urgoz, always drops his three green weapons. They will only drop three greens per run, no more, no less..
Hope that clears it up for you.

Well there was a whole thread full of people bitching about the double weekend not being enough (myself included), so they have increased it, a step in the right direction, someone mentioned earlier that 3 times is way too much, but a lot of the bosses out there barely drop greens so 3 times might be a good balance.

I concur. See the post on the GW site below:
Quote:
| This weekend, every Canthan boss monster that you slay will be three times as likely to drop a special, or "green," item. The start of this event will be Noon PDT on Friday and the greens will continue to drop at triple the normal rate through 11:59 p.m. PDT on Sunday. Good hunting! |

I plan to solo farm loads of Rajazan's Fervors.
1 for my mesmer
1 for my warrior
1 for just in case I need a 3rd
<<Amount>> will be sold very cheaply to my guildies.
(cause I'm nice)
Hopefull I can get other people in my guild to do the same, but for different greens.

I love going for greens for myself...
I was really anticipating this event for last weekend, but it was a well needed maintenence.
Oddly I got my Ssaki sword the week before, so really there ain;t much for me to go after. Chances are if I get greens I'll be one of those bargain guys and sell really low.
I only sell high or mid range when there's armor I want.
