Guild Wars 2

While trying to get JUST the princess endless tonic i have tried to forge it 30 times and have never gotten a single endless tonic.
Because I am broke in-game (and IRL I can not afford US$ to buy gold for this) I will not be able to get any more stuffing/glue.

The number one thing about MMORPGs for me are the holiday events and rewards, this Winterfest was nothing a (very) annoying “dungeon” with no rewards at all except turning my shortbow into a slingshot. With that said, I think it’s time to go to a game where they care about people having fun instead of making the rewards fail 30 times in a row so you’re forced to pay US$.

In short, what was meant to be a fun little event has turned out to be nothing but a pain in the rear and for this I say, thank you for killing the holiday spirit.

what does a chance at mystic forge have to do with holiday spirit

The spirit of this event doesn’t consist of your choice to go after a well known difficult RNG item.
The event consists of:

• 1 dungeon with 5 alternate versions
• A beautiful jumping puzzle
• An extremely fun Wintersday themed PvP match (Long live the Slingshots!),
• A survivor mode, fighting all the little toys
• Two free festival mini pets
• A unique music challenge (didn’t know guitar hero could be played with bells!)
• A fun backpack skin
• Free 15 slot bag (may not seem like a lot to most people, but I’m still rock’n the 10 slot bags lol)

All of which are free. To complain, and say choosing to go after an item based on chance ruins an entire event seems selfish to me. It’s not like you didn’t see your coffers / mat supplies running low when you kept failing to obtain your tonic.

Honestly.. I don’t even understand those endless tonics. You can’t use them while your fighting, unlike the little pets. To each their own I guess.

wait what free pets

that the events are not good.

Rewards should be for everyone who completes it, not a selected few. This was being talked about in map chat a moment ago before the update, and most people did less work (all 5 dungeon only once each) and have 2+ of the tonics. While some, such as myself, did all 5 dungeons twice on two accounts, gave the stuffing/glue to main account, totaling over 30 tries and end up with nothing. I may be the one posting this, but at least 20 some people are complaining about it in just one overflow of one zone.
Instead of having a fun event, it’s a big “eff you” when you fail over and over on the forge for no reason whatsoever.

All you guys crying ruins the “spirit” for me. When I hear ppl QQ cus they spent $100 on a free game for some cute pixel trash, yet others can’t afford gifts for their loved ones, or don’t even have a home and stuff……

just shut up….

I would respond the exact same to those 20+ people, as would many others I’m sure. So trying to speak on other people’s behalf doesn’t strengthen your argument.

This item didn’t trick you into using all of your mats. You knew the item was a random chance. Just because other people obtained the item in 2 tries, and you’ve still yet to get it on your 30th doesn’t make a random chance item any worse or better.

It’s a random chance, and you knew that from the beginning. The item wasn’t featured in the event. The toys were. You do the dungeons to work up to obtain the toys. Which many of us did. This endless tonic was a little extra cherry on top if you wanted to try for it. You did, and the RNG didn’t work in your favor.

People whining every 5 seconds is what ruins the festive spirit.

As a family exactly like that, things like this matter.

In a games virtual world, you should not have to have the same feeling of everyone else getting the stuff while youre being kittenon due to pathetic “drop rates” in the forge.

‘As a family exactly like that,’ I don’t think they would be spending money on a video game that won’t matter in 10yrs……

‘Tis the season of giving, so how is festive spirit ruined when there is a lot of giving away involved? That’s why I choose to give my monthly budget for this game to charity instead. Not a significant amount, but I did my best.

That was very festive of you, and actually a really good idea. Thanks for sharing. No matter the amount, I’m positive those less fortunate will be thankful you did.

What’s really not funny at all is that this is expected. There was a part of the player base that knew another part would kitten and cry AS SOON AS THE EVENT STARTED!, and Bless Their Tiny Hearts, they didn’t disappoint.

I once heard a rumor a long time ago…I once heard that haters ( that is the ppl that hate) they will hate. Is that true?

Who cares.

Merry Christmas!

The game was bought for me by a fellow gamer friend the day before the first beta. I have spent $0.00 on this game.

Theres an old, old proverb or saying or something I read on someone’s bathroom wall, or maybe it was on SNL….

…the gist of it is that when you begin to compare yourself to others, you are inviting despair. The solution is to be the best and happiest you can be, and fk everyone else. Who cares what they do? Only Facebook and Twitter.

I don’t want to get into technicalities, but if you have enough $$$ to support this game through computer, internet, electricity, etc.. compared to those without homes at all… really what is the difference you didn’t get the tonic you wanted? XD

I’m confused, you claim that a friend bought you a $60 dollar game for you to play for free. And then other ppl in that game got things you didn’t get, and now, even though you have a family that you can’t buy gifts for Christmas, this is Very Important to you?

shut up

Don’t you know that you can’t take it with you? Don’t you know that its only pixels?

People like to rage against sex and violence in media, but it’s there because it sells.

This is what you want, this is what you got.
