Guild Wars 2

I recently purchased the Infinite Watchknight Tonic with my festival tokens and I have to say I’m disappointed. This could be a bug or something but what fun is it to transform into a watchknight for only 5 minutes? After that you have to wait 25 minutes to be able to transform again for 5 minutes.

I thought the transformation would last at least 15 minutes (the longer the better, of course). Could the duration of the transformation be increased? I really feel I have wasted my festival tokens.

You’ve obtained something that you otherwise could not have obtained anymore. That’s what the tokens are for.

Otherwise I’m all pro extended transformation duration. Viva la robothion!

Edit: If it makes you feel better, I bought the sun helm … twice … there’s 800 tokens down the drain … doh!

Yeah, I know. That’s why I got so excited.

Still no fixed?
I said it when I got it originally and I still think it.

Anet need to reduce the cooldown or increase the transformation time.

Seriously, it’s a fun item. Why restricting the fun that we can have with it?

I can’t believe they actually thought this was a good idea.

Everyone is sitting in the meeting room, tossing ideas back and forth:
Dev 1: what shall we do for a reward?
Dev 2: how about a transformation tonic?
Dev 3: which? Scarlet or something else?
Dev 2: I was thinking of a Watchknight tonic.
Dev 4: that’s sound cool. Let’s make it playable in combat. People have been asking for that. What sort of restrictions should it have? 30 minute transformation and no cooldown?
Dev 2: I know! Let’s make it only 5 minutes and then a 25 minute cooldown. That would be epic!
All Devs in unison: That’s the best idea I’ve heard all day!

OP, it has been like that since last year, the wiki clearly says it works that way. You bought it with all information at your disposal!

I admit, it was my own stupidity. I guess I should’ve done some research before purchasing the tonic. I still think they should increase the duration of the transformation or reduce the cooldown, though.
