Guild Wars 2

Although it is not currently available, all of the previous gem store dye kits are available as an choice for a single account-bound dye in the Celebratory Dye Pack from the 3rd birthday gift. My question is: once the Shadow Dye kit is out of the gem store, will it be added to the list of dyes you can choose from for your 3rd birthday gift?

• Warhorn audio fix
• Return of events/festivals from previous years such as Queen’s Gauntlet & Dragon Bash
• Warhorn audio fix
• SAB
• Warhorn audio fix

Main issues my guild discussed:

• The event is not enticing at all to new players – to whom this event was supposedly aimed at. No exp earned for kills/events, no money earned…. in fact, you LOSE money WPing around the map, and the rewards you can get with the blooms cost even MORE money – more money than and new player can scrounge up. It’s sad that basic dynamic map events are more rewarding than this event for new players.

• Rewarding selfishness – along with new players, this event was advertised for guilds to recruit and team build. However, the only way to get the best rewards is to run around being unhelpful, tagging things and leaving. This made it impossible for my guild to play together and have fun, let alone think about recruiting during this madness.

• Unfun grind. I am no stranger to grinding – I actually love events like Silverwastes and the Queen’s Gauntlet. THOSE events, however, give lots of different incentives to participate. Exp, gold, drops, etc. This event lacks everything that could make grinding worth it.

Basically, this event rubbed everyone in my guild the wrong way, and has caused a lot of salty talk in gchat.

EDIT: Also the lack of achievements made most of my guild not want to return after one try of it, because they already had the skins they wanted from the vendors from when they were available previously. So veterans are bored too.

Bumping this again since devs seem to be responding about the mordrem event.

My guildies are now calling the warhorn “the sharthorn”. My legendary is officially retired to my bank (RIP Howler) and I’m beginning to lose hope. I am just so sad that my favorite weapon has been reduced to a joke.

I don’t even care if any Anet devs comment on this issue at this point – as long as they ninja fix it back. I was so looking forward to using my howler on my elementalist come HoT, but now…

… nothing says sylvari, graceful wielder of the four elements, like an obnoxious farting tuba.

Chaos.5072:

Can we please get some official word that this warhorn sound bug is known and they are working on a fix? This sound is so irritating!

Seriously, still no official word. Not even a “we hear your complaint but that’s how it’s gonna be” – which would be awful, but still better than this silence. My Howler is beginning to gather dust in my bank.

Brigantia.5746:

So they actually changed it to sound like this atrocity on PURPOSE??? I thought this was a mistake it’s not permanent right?

Still no “official” word on it. I can only hope this was a test or a mistake, because this sound being the default warhorn noise (and especially the LEGENDARY warhorn noise) is ridiculous.

That would be neat – or at least have the ability to remove runes at will without using the (crazy expensive) upgrade remover from the gem store.

I really hope a dev sees this thread. I sent an email to Anet support and was told to post my complain in the forums, so here it is:

I spent a lot of time crafting Howler. First I tossed hundreds of warhorns into the mystic forge for the precursor, then I crafted the different components – all of which required a lot of time. It took me MONTHS to do this. Finally, I got my legendary, and was very proud of myself. I got foggy footsteps, a cool “howl” as the sound effect, but to my dismay I found out that the day/night effect had been taken out. (The glowing moon that I thought looked AWESOME on the wiki.)

While I was disappointed, I figured it would be put back in at a later point. Probably just a bug! (Note: it was never put back in.)

Fast forward to this past week where my legendary has pretty much been ruined.

That sound effect… is hideous. It’s downright embarrassing to use my warhorn now, because people point out that I’m “farting”, and you can’t even hear the howl (for HOWLER) over the ugly noise.

For Anet to arbitrarily change the sound like that on an item I spend SO much time on is a complete letdown. I don’t even want to use the legendary I worked hard to create. First it the day/night effect was removed, now this. I wish I could trade in my legendary for another, or at least get all the gold I spent back.

If nothing else Anet, please change the sound back.

Game was working fine for me after the patch until a few hours ago, was disconnected during the Shatterer fight, and haven’t been able to log in since. Keep getting the error code below:
