Guild Wars 2

So I read the patch notes yesterday, and today I figured I might as well use up my karma jugs etc. without any boosts as it doesn’t matter any more. I logged into the forum tonight and it turns out that there was a rollback.

Does that mean that I just used non-boosted jugs at the original karma level?

This isn’t the biggest deal, and I realise that the change back was made with good intentions, but it seems a little harsh if correct. Could we please get an in game mail next time a change like that is made outside of the patch please?

yes temporaly rolled back modification until 3rd september they said

I was getting 9,090 Karma per jug. How much did you get?

They said those that consumed karma under the changes will have the amount adjusted to be as close to what they could have gotten as possible. Wouldn’t worry about it.

I was getting like 5,000 i think

They said that those who used them when the new system was up would get their karma boosted. But I wasn’t under the new system, I was under the reintroduced old system because the patch had already come in.

They made it so that karma consumables are not affected by boosters but made it as if you had a booster on when using them, increasing their value by 50%.

Anyone that used them after the patch, but before the hotfix will be compensated with free karma — they get it sent back to them in the mail.

Anyone that used them after the hotfix without boosters not only lost out on the 50% increase but will also not be compensated. Until September 3rd, people that don’t use boosters normally will be missing out compared to if the hotfix never happened.

Regular players that just use the jugs will miss out on like 40k karma due to the hotfix.

Yeah, this does seem harsh. Responding to people who wanted a warning is great and really good to see. But doing so without actually telling people seems a bit of a misstep.

As I say, it isn’t a huge deal, but an in game mail in future would be much appreciated
