Hey A-Net,

Thanks for the new end game weapons at the end of Prophecies. I wish I had time to look at them all, but there was a small problem. Unlike other endgame places, when someone in the part leaves this one EVERYONE leaves with them. So one guy gets what he wants, and beats a hasty retreat out the door, dragging the whole team with him, leaving the rest of us empty handed. Sure, I just have to do the mission again and I'm there, but what's to stop the next tool from racing out the door leaving us empty handed again... and again... and again. If you could fix this, I'm sure everyone would be much happier.

Same.

Also, not to sound too negative, but I found another "bug". :P I can't add a focus core to my brand new gold Deldrimor Focus.

I do full guildie/ally groups, and we're not idiots.
Did not happen to me.

I say make it an enclosed zone and force people to zone/warp out themSELVES. So people who are shopping can hang back.

What may have happened is that a party member may have used the portal to Droks instead of mapping away. That could be the source of the entire party leaving.

On a related note, for any cartographers out there, the area where you get the weapons is the old Droks arena staging area. You may be able to pick up a small amount for your map.

At least they allowed for there to be a crafter for gold versions of the weapons. I was gonna get pissy if they only came in a green version.

Also is there a storage chest there to get resources from or do you need to bring them with you like the other stupid end game ones?

Our group discussed about not zoning out before-hand. We got our talisman's and some got their weapons, but someone -still- wandered out as the rest of us were exploring...

It would be nice if this was fixed to zone more like at the end of Urgoz or something. Individual and not group zoning.

[Add/Edit] Knightfall, it's 10k. I think 10 deldrimor steel and 10 steel. Mat's need confirmation though, I'm only certain on the price.

Your right. You got the mat right. Just 5 min ago, I went to the End-Game area for the second time. Discussed circumstances ~ 2 min before actually entering. I got to stay for a good 2 min. Suddenly, some random just walks out. The whole group was shouting at him to stop, yet he continued. Afterwards, he said he wasn't "thinking" and set his status on DnD. *sigh*

Wow 10 deldrimor steel and 10 steel ingots AND 10k? Wow those some expensive golds and they are blank aren't they? Last I saw deldrimor was like 750gp each so that's what 7500 gold so around 20k total sound about right?
I got a feeling deldrimor steel ingots are gonna go sky high for awhile though. So some of these things could cost 30k+ initially.

I was thinking about that myself. Why encourage grouping up with real people when they know this happens?

I agree fully, I just now heard about it as I havn't played for the last few days, and I am very very glad that there are gold weapons, I hope these can be added to the HoM. Give me a reason to use my deldrimor steel and millions of steel that drops for me.

I don't know why I didn't h/h it the first time. The PUG I was in had people yelling at me for wasting a slot on Winter. WTF? I mean they were busting my balls for a ranger bringing Winter in the Fire Islands.

I say leave that doorway there. My guild had posted about it, and I knew I wanted the Scythe anyway. I got my talisman, the Deldrimor Scythe, and was through that door in under 30 seconds.

The last thing they saw before I left the group in Droknars was 'Winter just kicked your a$$'.

The endgame portal in Prophecies is my smirking revenge.

You can always read the instruction booklet. Character names act in much the same way.

just so you know.. winter only converts to cold damage after the armor calculation takes place. so essentialy winters only use anymore is to make it so mark of rodgort never triggers or in conjunction with greater conflag to convert alll damage to cold damage.

back on topic, picked up the daggers and a motivation sheild, shield was a bit bigger than i thought it would be so it just looks weird on my monk.. guess one of my para heros gets it. daggers are pretty sweet tho.

thanks anet for finaly adding end game greens to tyria, i appreciate it.
