Guild Wars 2

People come in, expecations rise up when they find the potions for 450 blossoms on the reward table. But when you start doing a quick bit of math?

24*5*4 = 480blossoms

Which means:

24 hours*5 blossoms*4days = 480.

Anet, just please.. is this even serious?

The event rewards are broken and they’re working on a fix.

That is if youre lucky enough to even receive 5 blossoms.

Its a 4 day event…. This, should have been tested. Its a joke. A bad one.

I misread the subject of your post, but in hindsight, it would have worked equally as well, I think.

Is it true they are not giving xp and karma for this? From the posts it seems like it was aimed at non-80 characters (saying what level you should be at) and the main thing there is xp (karma is a handy plus though).

You’re expected to play 48 hours a day for the whole event, it’s not like people need to work, eat, or sleep right?

Or as posted, the event is currently bugged and they are working on a fix.

We know that the endreward not being ahnded out is bugged and being worked on, we know nothing whether it is actually meant for tehre to be only 5 blooms/hour or whether that’s a bug too (like ex. scaling with events 5blooms/event) Which is what scribe is getting at. Currently, if you only get 5 blooms per hour, you need to play atleast 90 hours to get the selfless/selfish potions. Which is quite ridiculous for such a short term event.

So I am supposed to take 2 days off of work for pixel rewards?

Put them in the gem store anet! It is not like we will not buy them.

Extend the event for one more day, as a sign of apology, anet?

It’s been out for barely 3 hours and it goes through the weekend.

I suspect the mobs should be dropping blossoms, but I guess we’ll find out when it’s fixed.

You know it will be fixed, just give them time.

Yeah out of 3 maps doing them to their entirety and my stacks reaching the mid to high teens I have received 5 blooms in total. 2 maps rendered no reward of any kind.

It’s very much bugged. I think it’s best to wait it out until we get some word on it being fixed before we go crazy about prices.

What is the point of that? Sure, if the extra day could be on a weekend but given it ends on a Monday that extra day would have most of the game sleeping and going to work/school/errands.

Actually I don’t care about some of the bugs. Things happen.

What does concern me is the minuscule number of event rewards and the scaling issue. I could really care less about the initial bugs. However, looking at the speed at which mobs die and the amount of rewards at the end of the event, I hope that it’s a bug, because that right there, is downright stupid.

Initial bugs I can tolerate. Illogical math and expectations, no, that’s just silly.

My current participation level in the events:

Bugs are to be expected with new changes to code (whether they be events or whatever), but Anet sure hits them out of the park when it comes to bugs that are so bad that they cripple new content.

For all the “but we’re working HoT” commentary we get from them, HoT had better be pure polished gold.

look kids! An Engi in its natural habitat!

Same designer as the WvW achievements?

When i saw the potions I thought yes!! then I realized that those rewards are extreme grinders only. so much for the ‘no grind’ philosophy..
