Guild Wars 2

Judging from the gold→gem history it seems account upgrades cause gemprice spikes, black lion keys aswell as some Rox/braham etc. skins and the new outfit. Although on September 1st it could also be due to the dye kits. I have been holding on to my gems that i converted a long time ago. Perhaps I should have bought the bank tab expansion etc. Here is hoping the final day will bring an item I was hoping for :P

Tomorrows Sale:

Bunny Ears
Grenth Hood
Phantom Hood
Toxic skins
Character slots
Harvesting tools discounted
hairstyle/Makeover
Airship/Terrace pass

And then I woke up…

if that tomorrow, wont it be kinda bad, i mean except for character slots, nothing good on that list, plus we already had harvesting tools, I like something new.

Yea, like bunny ears. They can bring it back for 2k gems, and people would still buy them. Like me. Seriously ANet, people have been requesting this for AGES, I don’t know why you all want feedback if you don’t listen to it.

Let’s hope Anet does something big for their last day of sales!

LIKE BUNNY EARS?? I’d be happy if they put up bunny ears.

They do read our feedback about putting in the gemstore the Bunny Ears and the Grenth Hood. The eyeglasses and the Toxic armor pieces. They do!

Glad we’re making someone happy :P

Let’s be realistic here. Many people bought HoT Ultimate package. All those players got 4K gems. To spend them they had to be lured into it with offers. This sale with “not so loved stuff” was for them, to spend those gems from expansion, and later on start buying gems with real money.

They hit 2 targets with one blow (or Anniversary Sale): most new players and Ultimate HoT buyers with 4K gems on the line got broke but happy, and most veteran players with lots of gold spent some gold to not miss the offers (while gold-gem conversion got more balanced). As a side note, they dropped electro dyes price from the 1K mark with gifts and offers during this time.

It’s pointless to argue if we are happy or not. We are happy, otherwise we would not be playing this game or talking on it’s forums. New players are also happy, because with 100$ they exit from free account limits, while getting core-game, expansion, extra deluxe bonuses, plus 4K gems they were very tempted to use in an Anniversary Sale. We are all happy, otherwise we would not be here reading these lines.

Yeah. I’m estactic. I’ve never been so overwhelmed in all my life with exciting choices, good prices and the return of items that have been requested for months. My little heart goes pitty pat, it has had so much excitement. I don’t think that ANet can do anything to make the last day of sales better, it’s been so amazingly good.

I’m not surprised we haven’t seen character slots or makeover kits discounted — these are items that people are likely to buy regardless. In contrast, things like bag slots, gathering tools, etc are things that some people will buy if offered at a reduced price.

not sure if sarcasm or………. ????

Behellagh.1468:

We got one more day. We’ll see what that brings.

Lots of broken hearts and no bunny ears, i hope.

Was hoping for royal pass, but all in all i spent most of my gems from buying HoT in the sale and i’m happy with what i bought so far.

Bunny Ears?

• sadly sings * You can’t always get what you want, but if you try some time you just might find…
  A-Net gives you Mordrem Ears instead

Looks like the 2500+ post topic requesting Bunny Ears was deleted along with our hopes of seeing them re-released in this anniversary sale.

Final hour countdown to the last day, will they go out with a bang or a fizzle?

Well they did offer the Silver Fed Salvage-O-Matic but so far not the Copper one.

That may be today’s candidate.

• Sale on the other gathering tools.
• 3-pack minis from sets return
• Weapon Skins that hadn’t returned yet (chain sword)
• The armor sets they pulled a while back.
• Rehash of all the previous sales.

Edit: Well that’s disappointing. Crafting Licenses (30% off), Tradesmen’s Package (80% off limit 10) on sale and Bone Pick returns (didn’t know it was missing).

Final day includes
Additional Crafting License 560 gems (usually 800 I think) Limit 2
And the Tradesman’s Package 1 for 20 gems (Usually 100)
or 10 for 160 gems Limit 10 (Usually 800)
Fizzle.

Well that’s a wrap I think. Too bad it didn’t end with a bang\

Edit: Nevermind, there’s still hope.

What I wish Anthony Orden actually had said to the people who decide what goes in these sales: “The short answer is that new gemstore items, great discounts and putting in the Anniversary Sale what people have been asking for, is not going to drive people away from the game. There is absolutely no evidence to support that it would.”

/sigh. Maybe next anniversary sale. (Yeah, right. Lol.)

I gotta thank Anet for caring about my finances tho

I really shouldnt be spending so much on gems and they know that lol

Sale extended through teh mordrem event!
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/encore-sale/

Thanks Tee Why for pointing that out!
There’s still that faint hope!

As the news says

Mordrem are invading Central Tyria and we need your help to stop them! To keep you stocked for their assault the Black Lion Trading Company is extending the Anniversary Sale through the weekend. Check in every day during the Mordrem Invasion Event for new sales!

Oh god.
And for a second I thought my wallet was in the clear.

Additional crafting license… lolololololol literally one of the most useless gem store items… lolololololol

So this was the last deals? By this time tomorrow the 3rd year anniversary is over? Right?

Please note, there is a bunch of stuff available as part of the event, like scarlets grasp and shoulders for event items and 10g!
So some of the skins people were asking for are back in-game!
The Selfless Potion was in there too!
I’d include a whole list but my game just crashed!

Thanks for the sale on Bunny Ears ANet!

From reddit thread.

Time to go farm. Cya.

So they really are doing a throwback to scarlet’s assault with the thoughtless and selfless potions. I might actually grind for one of those halos this time around.

I actually wish it had ended today …. put it out of its misery. If they are not going to have the most requested items on sale (character slots and bunny ears) this is just delaying people buying character slots and keeping the cost of gems way too high. Whether they are in the sale eventually or not people will yell about them until they can buy them again.

I think this anniversary sale was a bit misleading as far as the “bringing back classic gem store items” angle. Everyone was hoping for some rare outfits & accessories, but instead we were offered white/black angel wings (on sale not long ago) and discounts on existing gem store outfits & items. If anything this sale was more focused on selling bag-bank-crafting slots etc.

Granted, I spent over $50 during this sale on necessity items for maintaining my nine characters, but I was really hoping for fun cosmetic options that we have not seen up for sale in a long time and extremely disappointed as far as sales event go.

Unless they release a bunch of stuff on the final day id say this anniversary sale has been lackluster at best. Most of this was only taken off the store a couple months ago. Where’s the character slot sale? I wanted more pvp finishers on sale. Should have had everything on sale.

I hadn’t had any interest in it before but then I realized … they’re adding “scribe” to guild halls and I’d like my main crafters to be able to do that too. So I sprung for it.

My other professions are already spread across 4 toons so I dont have to spend money to swap (yes, I’m cheap, swapping toons is free), so I’ll likely give it to my Rev.

Oh, I have two each on a number of alts. I have a couple that would ICly be scribes though, so I want them to have the option. Anyway, done is done, ’tis bought and consumed.

Just added, Total Makeover Kit 122 gems (normally 350).

Also Heroic Booster
1 for 105 (150), 5 for 445 (637), 20 for 1470 (2100).

Not that I recommend using gems on minor consumables, but if you want to, hey, it’s on sale.

The makeover kit isn’t too bad. A lot of people will be make a Revenant or chars that specialize in the new elite professions. Many will be wanting to give them one of the gemstore hairstyles, hair colors or faces so this is a good time to pick up a makeover kit.

Just fair warning, the TMK is limited to One Purchase at that discounted price.

You can only get one. It doesn’t say that there but after you buy one the price changes to 350 gems. (I was going to buy 4 at the sales price. Oh well).

I bought the Total make over but with the leaked new hairstyles they are putting out I seen on reddit I am holding off on using it.

Hey… 1 is better than the none I got. But thanks for the heads up guys.

Won’t complain, it gives me a second so I can actually use one and still keep one to use to preview looks.

LOL… so according to today’s sale items, the best way to defeat the Mordrem is to look reeeeally good?

And that you should spend you time crafting instead of going out to the field to defend Tyria against the Mordrem threat? :P

They better give us better fighting stuff over the weekend, or they’re gonna be eating their words…

No complaints here! Just thought we should note it for everyone, since usually those kinds of limits are shown in the Gem Store/advertising.

Hey, y’know you can use the kits to bulk up your muscle, get in better fighting trim (or, hmm, lose muscle if you’ve overdone the workouts and are musclebound). All in the name of making you a meaner fighting machine.
