Guild Wars 2

…when you complete your last daily achievement only to see that your representation buff has worn off just as you completed the jumping puzzle that was inexplicably much harder than it had been the last time you did it.
…when you complete a massive event chain only to realize your buff wore off right after the first event was completed.
…when you complete a dungeon that took much longer than it should have and realize your buff wore off (that you refreshed twice, even) right before the end.

Feels awful, man. Especially the daily one; I have to wait another day in order to finish my last Kiel achievement now.

Bring one more button to these activities than you are bringing now.

I had a stack of 50 in my inventory. It isn’t about not having enough buttons, it’s about the buff wearing off without realizing it.

I feel your pain.

/hugs

I’ve been there

I’d be nice if you could just spam a few to have the duration stack.

I haven’t done any of the major ones in this thread, but I did let my buff wear off and complete 2 Ascalon events (working toward’s Evon’s homeland support) without realizing it.

Now I’m paranoid about it happening again, or even worse. This thread is not helping >.>

The whole mechanic is sort of weird. Dumping hundreds of votes in to get hundreds of temp buffs that don’t actually buff anything but run out at inconvenient times when you’re trying to get achievements just seems really clunky.

I’m not sure what they were really going for with this one. Why not let us get a permanent campaign button and skip the hassle?

At the very least, we’ve got another 11 days to complete the achievements, so there is plenty of time. Its just especially frustrating when you finish a frustrating activity and lose out on a reward not because you didn’t perform well or any such reason, but because the (very small) buff icon disappeared in the thick of things without you realizing.

I wish they had let us get a permanent one, but for completionists that could be difficult to manage. I think it would have been kind of cool to have the buttons as a currency, but at the same time we have had so many currencies I think it’d just kitten me off lol

Buy the perma-rep button off the trading post.

Problem solved.

PS – Buy the Gnashblade one

You can also do the daily pvp, they count as daily representation. That way you can do 2 daily per day. You can finish both in 3 days this way.

Did it already.

Fixed your spelling mistake.

On a serious note, I strongly suggest activating your rep button halfway through whatever you’re doing. It guarantees you’ll never miss completing the tasks while under the buff effects.

Much easier said than done.

Daily in PvP counts too and is much faster to complete, shouldn’t be a problem to get it…

All of us have the ARRRRGGGHHH moment…we survive though. At least we have multiple chances at it vs do it or die chances. I feel the pain of everyone who has missed by the absolute bit on this one. So far I have been lucky keeping an eye on that buff but do realize how so easy it is to forget it. I think it is always in the back of my mind.

This is an issue that bugs me about ALL consumables… that’s there’s no Center-Print middle of the screen text telling you that it just wore off. (yet there’s one for when we open these silly Kite Fortunes???)

Would be nice but, gee, I love to live dangerously and have to make myself look to see what is expiring. It should not be a hand-it-to-me-easy-because-I-cannot-do-it-any-other-way. I can see for some consumables but not this one. It is not suppose to be easy so I have no expectations other than I need to keep my wits about me. Yeah, missing the expiration of the buff and not grabbing the next one before an event ends does bite…but so does real life.. We pick ourselves up, throw ourselves at the next event, throw on the buff and move right along.

pay attention to the buff timer?
