Guild Wars 2

- So new/returning/discounted items will be added everyday? For how long 10 days or 21 days?
- How long will they stay for sale for if they are limited time? I don’t want to buy something and 5 days have no gems for something else really cool…
- What time will new items come to the black lion shop is there a certain time everyday?
- Finally why are Arena net being quiet about this, as in why have they not given us a list or an announcement at the start if the day as to what is coming and when, just something rather the item just randomly popping up out if the blue at a random time.

Would be greatly appreciated if a developer could take some time to answer some of these questions or if another player knows could tell me and other like me who are unsure. Thank you.

The sale goes on for 21 days; “new” items will be featured every day during those 21 days. The items listed during the first 10 days will stay on sale for those 10 days (until the 30th). After that, I assume that the sales will be 24 hour sales, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

I’m not sure on what time the sales will go up each day, as I didn’t check when today’s item(s) went up. But Anet isn’t likely to give a list of items ahead of time because they want to keep the suspense. They want to tempt you to buy the items you see during the flash sales, and then they want to tempt you to get more gems for the next flash sale item. That’s just how it goes (and it usually works in their favor, as far as making money goes).

As to your other queries (likely they could have been in one of the existing threads), it sounds like the first ten days of items will accumulate, then likely be gone Aug 30. From the blog: “the first 10 days of sales will keep stacking up, but only until August 30!” Then there are still 11 more days.

So for now you can peruse the offerings each day, and decide by Aug 29 which if any you want. After that it may be day to day. Sure it would be nice to be able to budget your gems. Since you won’t have the info needed for that, then I suggest you use my buying mantra: “Will I be sorry later today I didn’t buy this? Tomorrow? Next week? In a month? In a year?” And if my inner voice says I’ll berate myself forever for passing up the thing (mild regret I can live with, berating is something else), and buying it won’t be devastating to my finances, I go ahead and buy it right there and then.

I’ve bought things I almost never used, but I have never regretted that nearly as much as passing up something unique only to have it vanish. Don’t forego food, shelter, education, or other necessities, but if you have a certain amount of whim money then spend it on whims without worrying too much that something better will come along. If you really want the thing and will yell at yourself later, then there isn’t anything better! Just comparable

The sale started at 9AM Pacific Time yesterday and today’s new items was at 9AM Pacific Time, so most likely that will be the time everyday that what they are selling is changed.

Hmm. I wonder if they are doing two phases of 10 day accumulations and then the last day have a blow out of all 20 days of items?

Just musing.

And put all the items that sold full price at a big discount to encourage sales.

Though possibly that might cause some forum discontent.

They’ve done something similar before, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Half the posters on the forums merely need to wake up in the morning to be discontent.

It is extremely common for things to go on sale in almost every aspect of sales, in the entire world. If folks are going to cry about that on the forums, then it was inevitable that they were going to wake up and cry about something else anyway. They do not really need a reason.
