The $10 accounts were the best deal ever offered. By simply selling your login rewards, each $10 account can generate $10 worth of gems in about 2 months. If you ever planned on buying gems, the $10 accounts were a far better deal.

^^ This .. better create the accounts earlier than later so you can start collecting
your daily rewards before ANet decides to change them maybe.

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

I turned off whisper a long time ago do to guild rep spam.

You know the RMT’s will be yelling in map chat if they can’t whisper. Whisper is kinda useless anyway. Just shut it off. The RMT’s will never know. Hopefully it will cut down on their use of map chat.

Also as one who comes from hundreds of ftp games and was once their avid supporter – do plz keep reporting these RMT’s. It does discourage them.

BUT NOTHING DISCOURAGES AN RMT MORE THAN MAKING NO MONEY – DON’T BUY ANYTHING FROM RMT’s!

Play right, play safe, play responsibly.

I also post on guildwars2guru.

Give them to your friends so that they can have full accounts! The restrictions on F2P are reasonably lax, but they’re still restrictions. I’m sure your friends will appreciate it when they have the time to play.

Also, there is a time limit on when you could get a refund. Pretty sure it’s 30 days. At least with a full account, they would like it more. Or having alt accounts is nice too.

I think if they’re just unsure keys though Anet might be fine refunding them. OP hasn’t used the keys to create accounts yet I think.

Anet still have limits on refunds though. They haven’t sold just the base game in a really long time (seeing as they removed it when they started selling HoT) most likely to remove this issue.

Hello,
With the recent announcements of core game going free-to-play, two keys that I bought during 10€ sale might be pointless. I have initially bought those keys for my friends, but due to real-life activities they were yet unable to play the game (they haven’t even registered accounts).
I would like to ask if there is really no way to refund those 2 purchases as they were never used and core game being free-to-play? Or I should use these as alt accounts or give them to my friends to make their game full?
Thanks in advance!

https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/95982157-Account-types-Free-Core-HoT

You bought fully unlocked games. Now your friends could start F2P accounts but when they start to chaff at the F2P restrictions, you can give them a full account.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

Lets talk about the new Gem conversion [Merged]

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: daimasei.4091

daimasei.4091

Hey there,

Here are a few tidbits from the team:

  • A lot of newer players had trouble with the interface. That doesn’t apply to you, you’re veterans who have been around the conversion block a time or two. But newer players will benefit from the updated system.
  • The goal was to make the Gem Store more like other shopping experiences, and if you think about it, there is more of that feel to it now.
  • You may be surprised to know this (I know I was) but very few people bought gems at smaller denominations than the first one offered in the new system. That’s not to say they never did, nor that there wouldn’t be the desire to do so. But overall, the current options were selected based on player purchases in the past.
  • The team is going to listen to your feedback and, if and when it’s practical and desirable, they can look towards adjusting the new system to better meet your needs.

So please keep your thoughts coming on the new system. Feel free to make suggestions but please, keeping them constructive would be very much appreciated.

Always fault of the new players, right?

Always an unintended change, right?

Always working as intended, right?

Always a bug, right?

Sigh…

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I appreciate your comments and will say that consistent, complex, nuanced characters and storytelling are absolutely my goal as well. I’m soaking up all the existing story that I can, via gameplay, wikis, our novels, and lots and lots of conversations with my coworkers who have great insights (and opinions) on our expansive lore. I really love the game and am excited to be a part of it moving forward. Keep the comments coming!

You never know where you might find cool things. http://guildwars2.tumblr.com/

Sigh….

“Wanna see new pics? Head to tumblr!”
“Want some different news or sales? Head to facebook!”
“Wanna see our new vids? Go to youtube!”
“Don’t forget to Like, subscribe, fav, retweet, hashtag…SOCIAL MEDIAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!”

You have a webpage…you can post everything in one spot to help your players. Please, don’t make me jump around everywhere on the internet (Or i’ll just go to dulfy since it’ll be done for me there >:P)

Agreed.

I think it’s pathetic that businesses buy into the new trends to be “cool”, whilst they are actually failing to reach their audience by spreading information across different websites (requiring different log ins/account information).

If they posted ALL information in ALL of these mediums, it wouldn’t be a problem, but when you’re asking people to visit 6 websites for 6 different posts you’re doing it wrong.

[Suggestion] Bounties

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Cole Eyre.8471

Cole Eyre.8471

Dear ArenaNet,

Please build a bounty thing where the “Destiny’s Edge” mentor for each playable race gives out a daily bounty. For example, human toons would go visit Logan in DR to get a bounty where he sends them out to kill something different each day. Maybe one day it’s a bunch of bandits, maybe another day it’s a bunch of centaurs.

I feel this would help our home city retain some relevance and would make the world seem a bit more living.

Love,
Cole Eyre.8471

I am sorry to say, but making non-constructive “feedback” (complaints) on forums hardly helps you.

I was playing chess with a friend and it suddenly occured to me that in all the years I’ve been playing chess, there hasn’t been one single major upgrade in it. The pieces all move the same. There’s no real vertical progression, and it’s extremely repetitive. The more games you play, the more you realize how repetitive it is. Last I saw, people still play chess.

SPvP isn’t about changing things all the time (and some things have changed. There have been many changes to the meta), it’s about getting as good as you can on your chosen profession(s).

World Boss Timer Overlay in Rainmeter

in API Development

Posted by: Sol Solus.3167

Sol Solus.3167

A Rainmeter skin styled to blend in with the game interface, transparent until moused over.

Preview | Download

Why Rainmeter?

Rainmeter is a lightweight, customizable widget platform. Rainmeter skins are easily modified scripts, and their .rmskin installers can be opened as zip archives, making them more trustworthy than executables.

Features

  • One-click waypoint link copy with boss name and countdown
  • Countdown and local time
  • Mini mode with next standard and hardcore bosses, with countdowns on mouseover
  • Normal mode with current and next standard bosses, and next hardcore boss
  • Long mode with infinite scrolling
  • 4 size settings corresponding to GW2 interface sizes
  • Mark events as done
  • Automatically reset done status at daily reset
  • Activate audio alerts for events

Usage

  • GW2’s display resolution must be set to “Windowed Fullscreen” or “Window”.
  • Left-click to copy waypoint link to clipboard.
  • Middle-click to toggle event done status.
  • Double-click to toggle audio alert for event.
  • Use controls on bottom bar to change mode/size.

- Fixed rare possible incorrect sign on copied countdowns.
- Fixed a Lua stack overflow.

The current cast is light years better and shows some real progress in story telling. I hope to see some really memorable work coming from the future. This is an area where the Anet team really seems to have listened to the players and made some meaningful work.

Thank you. This is very kind of you to say, and it makes me very happy. We’ve worked hard to make the PC’s best friends interesting and not cookie-cutter buddies. They’re the PC’s supporting cast, and as such, all their stories affect and reflect the PC’s story—your story.

Btw, I’m glad I’m not always the hero. There are millions of characters in the gw2 universe, it would seem rather crappy that they would all be the awesome hero who saved the universe from doom. I like being among the ranks: a commander in the pact, a faceless wanderer who joins up with some others and become the heroes of LA… It’s just a personal taste, I like being a not-so-extrordinary character who the steps up to the plate when he’s needed to.

This is a very interesting opinion since so many seem to feel the other way. We make every effort to put the player character at the center of the story because…well…it’s your story. But, I also believe that the player character doesn’t always have to be the one with the answers. Sometimes, your teammates (Rox, Braham, etc.) need to help out or risk becoming faceless flunkies. There’s a balance point, of course. Your teammates are an extension of you, living through your story with you.
