Guild Wars 2

So here’s the thing: i have stacks of tokens i planned to use today, but it seems the election is over and i wasn’t able to use them. That’s peachy but i’m really jonesing for a kiel support button seeing as I haven’t finished her meta achievement yet and i really want her mini or the completionist in me will most surely perish.

So, the question is, can we still trade the support tokens for support buttons even though the election is over?

Easiest way to find out is to give it a try. Won’t affect the election, but it might work for achievements if you get it in before the patch comes through in seven and a half hours or so.

Yeah, the support boxes are closed it seems. I was wondering if there were some special merchants or whatnot that could trade them for you, but it seems there isn’t.

I know i was told that it ended today so I have over 500 I have been saving for today to use that special double banner with only to find I could not turn them in. Many people online thought it was today as well because Anet was never clear on what time the voting ended. This is a common problem in the game. They are never clear when things really end so a lot of our votes were never made. I feel if we were properly given the time remaining the in the game, we would have had a different outcome. There should have been a event timer showing when voting ended. This would have made things way more clear for people. I know I personally did not want Ellen to win and many others as well but now there is nothing we can do. Timed events need to be fixed in the future.

I don’t really care for who won though, I just needed a support button to get those stupid achievements that force you to use them in order to complete ‘em. It’s pretty stupid we can’t get them or finish the stuff before the event is even over.

Whilst the time was given in the patch notes, you are right, I expected some sort of mail or herald or in game message (like when a build is incoming) or even all 3. It takes away some of the immersion in such a roleplaying based scenario to locate the info outside of the game.

Also, I’m surprised the candidates are still canvassing for votes and tokens still drop. The post-rp immersion has been lost here. I expected a cutscene, a bit of story, some celebration in LA maybe. No change at all. I thought this was “Living Story”..

If you still need buttons for the achievements, they’re not account-bound so you can buy them off the Trading Post.

Really stinks that you can’t get the masterwork Representation buttons anymore. Lot’s of achievement points that are going to be missed out on.
