Guild Wars 2

Hello,
first of all, I know there is a lot of people who like Experience scroll, which advance your character to lvl 20, but I am not much fan of getting it as a reward in Birthday gift and I would try to describe why :-)

It will get character after one year and I suppose character will be lvl 80 in that time, so it is useless for that character and it would be great if is possible to get something what can be used – “It is my Birthday, I want something for me!” :-) or at least if is possible to choose from some items, like choice after completing one part of personal storyline. For example, if I can I would change my character hair style because it does not look as I thought while I was creating it, so some hair style kit would be lovely.

And why I do not like Experience scrolls, it will get my character to lvl 20 so all the fun from beginning is gone. I tried it once with my engineer and never more. It is like you are lvl 1 fresh and happy to enjoy the world and then you are lvl 20, blah, you just run through storyline and map, because you are op (I am going to destroy my other scrolls and create my remaining classes from lvl 1 to 80 as happy Tyrians).

Yes, it is good for people who want to be fast lvl 80, but for others it ruins the fun which game offers from beinning, so it would be awesome to give them at least a choice to choose what they want for reward :-)

P.S. 3x BDay gift: GW1 = 3 different minis, GW2 = 3x Queen Jennah
It is like 1. WOW, 2. wow, 3. hmm, .. , n. army of queens? :-P

Sorry, if there is another post like this, I am not as good as dredge in digging and for my english too :-)

Hi,

I think these scrolls have potential issues but I do think that the b’day gift is the perfect location for those who have interest in it. If you are inexperienced you should never ever use such a scroll. So it is good that it is only available for people who are very experienced in the game. The b’day gift is a great way of making it so.

That doesn’t mean you have to like it. I recently used one on my thief. I had created/recreated characters a lot to play all the 20-30 story lines for all races. So it was great to be able to skip that part. In the beginning it did fell wierd, but now im level 37 and I don’t see any difference anymore from my experience with previous characters.

I’m not saying you should like the scrolls yourself, but it isn’t a valid argument to remove it from the gift. As you said you have the full right to no use them and even destroy them.

Yes, you are right. I was just thinking to give a player some choice of reward.

After a year of playing I already had at least one of each class at 80 (yeah I have two of some classes, I’m kind of weird). The point is, I’m kind of done leveling toons, so with the birthday gifts and AP, I currently have 5 of these scrolls. It would be cool if they could be traded in for skill points or maybe 1 free level for any level character like the boosts you get from BL chests.

But I did really like the birthday booster, so I don’t feel cheated :-D
