Guild Wars 2

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/llama-finisher-and-more-in-the-gem-store/

This says this week we have a free key (posted april 29th, yesterday). The other items are available in my gemstore (mad king’s outfit can be seen in the screenshot), but not the “zero gems option” for the key.

It’s not a big deal anyway, but it’s annoying because I see thant something is not clear.

Ok, but why can’t I get the free item today if I got it in a previous sale? Is that intended?

As the title says, I’m unable to get, for example, the free BL key today, but it appears in my Promotions tab. The same happened a week ago with the last giveaway. However, I could get those items during the previous sale. This is happening with every item.

So, I got my key, repair canister, magic find boost a few weeks ago but they are still in the Promotions tab as in the screenshot below (I assume that after their “free” time, they should disappear). So, when those items are free again, I can’t get them.

Is that intended (just one item once), or is any kind of bug? It seems like some kind of “gemstore cache” isn’t cleaning properly.

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely agree!!

I started playing the content and it was fun. Then I realised that problem about hologram camping, discouraging teamplay. After that, I saw that 100,000 candies needed. And finally, I see that I have to pay 50s for a single bet… I think I will play the minimum required to get the free wings and open some random coffers, but I have no more objectives for a whole month event, because is an event done for making me waste my money.

To those talking about this is a recurrent event that will come every year… In GW1 we had different minis every dragon festival, so they were obtainable in just one event. I don’t want to get my 2013 wings in two or three years of dragon bash grinding.

You are on time to check this numbers, Anet…

So, Blind Man, you are the kind of commander I would probably work with. I would see how you give orders, if those are logical, and if those drive us to success. If so, I would remember your name. And you don’t have to kill a single enemy, nor receive credit for attacking the enemy (because your artillery position is so far away from the capture point).

To OP: So, you prefer other people to tell you who is a good commander, don’t you? I prefer to test it by myself and follow them using my own experiences.

I like the way it is now.

What you want is being able to take a fortress without wasting your money in expensive trebuchets, that require supplies to be built, and people going to resupply to the nearest camp. Using a catapult to defend a tower/keep right now prevents unorganized mindless zergs to be successful.

Catapults are the almost only way to effectively damage people rubbing against the door. Also, door catapults are part of the secret defenses a tower/keep has. Atacking one of them has this point of surprise that makes you think about another strategy.

Towers/keeps are for prepared players (no meaning pro players). Supply camps and caravan are for smaller groups, and you can take them for free.

No, it is not possible (happened to me and all my halloween consumables are in my former server).
I’m thinking about going back, recover my goods, and return to my new server, but this takes a few days if I want to do it for free…

Me too, but not only in Lion’s Arch. I played very smoothly before. I don’t know if it’s the patch or the server populations due to event, but today (since 19.00 CET, when I started playing) I can’t see even PVE enemies until I’m on them.

I understand what OP says. Some people (myself included) don’t play much PVP, but we must if we want to get the whole map explored or jumping puzzles done. I don’t care blueprints at all, and don’t mind the world bonuses, as I am an average player that can’t feel the difference of having a 1% more health (I’m going to die anyway).

Thankfully, I have encountered some “enemy” players with maybe the same problem, as we have even cooperated to get to the chest. Those campers have the right to camp, because is in the rules. So I don’t blame them, but the game for making WvWvW a “must do” for many players.

I hope one day I will have a decent character that allow me to survive any 1 on 1 encounters in the borderlands.
