Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask the developers to consider this reward for anyone who participated in the Mordrem Invasion to thank the players for their involvement, making the event such a big success.

The 60 Blooms are an equivalent to a full set of daily blooms bonus available by completing an event in either Brisban, Kassex, or Diessa map where the Mordrem invaded.

During the event there were many issues that caused the collection of blooms to be difficult. And it seems like Anet did not intend/foresee this difficulty to happen.

Some of the difficulties include but are not limited to:

1. Rewards box not appearing in the first day of the event.
2. loss of the buff showing event completion due to: Disconnection and server hiccups, accidental character selection, moving to the next map (Brisban->Kessex) to prepare for the next wave only to find that the stacks and rewards are gone. A problem at the end of the event timer erases all stacks and getting even 5 more stacks just seems impossible at the end of the timer because everyone has reached their goals.
3. Toxic community players who refused to finish events causing a loss of 5 possible extra blooms every now and then.

I believe that it would be impossible or at least not feasible to track how many blooms each player has missed out on.

A flat consolation prize of 60 blooms to all who participated seems like a fair and positive gesture to all who participated in the event.

Thank you for reading!

Please leave comments if you agree!

No. This whole thing should be quickly burried and forgotten forever.

I couldn’t continue reading after this :P

I got very little blooms due to the fact I went link dead, came back to see my dead corpse, get rezzed and all of my 15 stacks GONE!! I spent 30 mins and I got nothing And the sad part is I would have gotten something if I had that last 25 blooms, now all I got to show for this event is a bitter taste in my mouth.

Seems like someone is 60 blooms short on the item they want.

This disappointing event as Malediktus said, should be buried and forgotten.

I think we should be grateful for ANet’s efforts to keep this game fun. I just think everyone would be happy with a consolation prize is all.

True in regards to this entire statement, along with the fact that normal events continued to pop up along with the Mordrem events. Poorly planned as well as poorly executed.

Problem is that nothing about the event was fun.

I honestly think the main reason that contributed to the event not being fun was due to the difficulty of obtaining blooms. I think a consolation prize would ease the pain.

Lets just forget this event and give us Boss Blitz I almost sure it was on this time last year.

Nah, the event was bad, you can not retroactively change that and even if you could, free blooms is not the solution. Arena Net admit that the event was not very well planned, which is the only apology you are going to get, you might as well forget the 60 blooms you need.

Well, I need more than 60… 450 would be nice.

This is what needs to happen to this “event”. So OP, please help the rest of us forget about it and put it to rest.

They couldn’t do a consolation now for 60 blooms, because people having spent theirs already would complain and want refunds and it would be a nightmare of work.

I am a firm believer that a masterpiece is made with revisions and modifications and repairs where needed. 60-450 blooms, whatever amount they decide, would be a gesture that is appreciated. I do believe it won’t “fix” the problem, but a kind gesture from ANET right now is really needed in our community.

AND! I think the community (us) need to stop simply bashing the event, but try to find a way where we can all come out a bit more happier.

For instance, a consolation prize could be the toy miniature egg for 75 blooms. So give people 75 blooms for it, but let the players decide what they want to spend the 75 blooms on. ANET is researching how many blooms to give to those who were caught in the bug. If they have that much time to spend on each individual account… I dunno, this 75 blooms rewards seem much more time effective to me.

If you played since the first day you should expect a prize of unfulfilled blooms. While it’s unclear how many that is, you should hang out and wait before blowing what you have on anything else.
