Umm yes, I made a decision to buy a package based on a slot that I could have got for free ,

You decided to pay 25$ more because of something you can buy for 10$ ?

You have no right to complain here.

I have every right to complain how and when I wish.

Did you buy the extra package, if yes then you can do what you wish, complain or not.

If you didn’t then really kitten all to do with you, move along nothing to see here.

K thx bye

No one is arguing about whether or not you have the right to complain about something. Everyone has the right to complain. In fact, the whole community did in a very toxic way. People are questioning the content that you are complaining about.

1. You stated that you purchased a package based solely on the character slot.
2. For example, the Deluxe is $75 and comes with a character slot.
3. Character slots are $10 each. If you wanted to purchase the Deluxe just because of the character slot, why not pay $50 for the Standard edition and pay $10 for the character slot?

We’re basically saying you shouldn’t complain about something because:
1. If you purchased any package just because of the added character slot, you made a poor purchase decision and lost money.
2. If you purchased any package for the character slot and the goodies, then there’s no need to complain if you wanted the character slot and the goodies.

You might be able to get a refund and downgrade to the Standard edition if you contact support. No guarantee, but it’s a possibility.

I’m arguing because ppl made a decision based on facts at the time, what ever the values are on how they cost, then a week later, not a year they changed those facts, which “may” have changed/swayed the decision taken.

I am checking the options with support, and yes as ppl have said maybe a bit quick to purchase, but hey I’m impulsive and like the game.

Gaile, what’s happening to peeps that bought the deluxe or ultimate because it had the extra slot ?

There was anothor post, i saw on dev tracker that said they will get a slot also, so I guess in turn they get two slots.

I don’t want 2 slots, and I may not have bought the version I did if there was a slot going with the basic version.

People who spent money already could feel misled into paying more now ?

Problem is they bought the deluxe\ultimate based on the extra slot, which they could have had for nothing. this completely changes the pricing dynamic and the choice you “might” have made. As such its a fair question.

So the question is very fair, even more so as they spent money.

Gaile, what’s happening to peeps that bought the deluxe or ultimate because it had the extra slot ?

Pre-purchased the version that already had a slot, because it had a slot what will ANET be doing about that ?

Yep they should, there will always be new collectables.

Valento.9852:

We feel entitled to stuff, mindlessly demanding things… I think we should sit and think about what we’re asking, and see if it’s too HORRIBLE if we don’t get it. It’s not like we’ll lose an arm if we don’t get a character slot. You can farm gold, convert to gem, and buy it. I don’t want ArenaNet to remove core game from prepurchasers.

You may do, I do not, please don’t generalise and include me in your thought processes

k thx ta

As someone who’s not a great fan of crafting a feel a little ticked off being excluded from a whole tier of weapons and armour unless I grind my least favourite activity for it, please allow ascended to be aquired through other forms of gameplay, doesnt have to be any easier just possible.

You can get ascended boxes from champ bags, lost bandit chests in the silverwastes, fractals, Tequatal, Triple trouble, sPvP reward chests, WvW rank up chests.

I’m sure there are others too.

I have done lots of the above and have never seen an ascended drop, RNGesus should not be the only other way.

So we shouldn’t say anything about a deal that penalises existing players and seems unfair?

Just meakly except it ?

No I think not.

No, ANET need to sacrifice for new players, I am a consumer of their product not an employee. I payed for the game and buy gems, that’s all the support they need from me.

It’s their responsibility to market the game, attract new players and keep the existing players happy, especially long term players (active) as they are the bread and butter of the game at the end of the day (as of any product).

The price strategy they have chosen is especially cynical as it pushes ppl towards the most expensive product.

As someone who’s not a great fan of crafting a feel a little ticked off being excluded from a whole tier of weapons and armour unless I grind my least favourite activity for it, please allow ascended to be aquired through other forms of gameplay, doesnt have to be any easier just possible.

Lol nothing to do with the effort thats gone into it. I can appreciate anyones work and still not like being ripped a new kitten hole for it

Anet here to say thank you for the gullible,

They should have released a version without the core game for those that have it, they should also have included a character slot in the base package, and the gems package is a cinical marketing ploy to get a bit more cash by making it the most attractive.

Title of this thread is wrong

Player loyalty
Coming from a long time gw player, while trying to grab new player is a good move but neglecting loyal/veteran player by giving them the shorter end of the deal is not. Those player are the one making the expansion possible by purchasing the gam years ago and supporting the game via gem purchase. Without them there won’t even be a expansion as the game would be consider a failure. Move and marketing like this will sent out a vibe that loyal supporter and player are not appreciated and will not bore well in helping the gw and arenanet branding in the future. MMO like WoW strive due to it’s loyal playerbase while company like EA and activision get bad rep for milking it’s player base with map pack and DLC galore. Which type does arenanet want to strive to be?

Daily rewards. PvP rewards. All of these things should also be considered as “loyalty rewards”. Why? Think about Tomes of Knowledge for a second. Many long term players who’ve been saving them/hoarding them are going to be able to put newly created characters DIRECTLY into the (pardon the pun) heart of the action. Want to level those professions? You’ll have access to crafting materials galore..not necessarily from farming them but simply from logging in each and every day.

You, as a long term player, have already been rewarded for your loyalty. You just took it for granted.

Thats what you get for playing the game? It’s not loyalty rewards, companies must love you.

This is like car insurance renewal, new customers get the special offers and deals, existing customers get the shaft.. It’s ANET taking its veterans for granted not the other way round.

Sorry for the loss and the Family’s continued challenges, I think a gesture in game like a grave stone or something named after them would be great, Its a large land and I’m sure something could be put in.

“Downed State” frightening , really, ppl need to get a grip if this is scary.

^ Yeah that’s pretty much what I mean.

If you’re still on the forums, you haven’t quit this game.

Some players still watch the forums because they want a reason to come back, because they like the core game. But the updates and “features” added to the game since launch have shown them that the devs intend to go in a direction that is very clearly against what they wanted the game to be. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of something you wanted to believe in, so you check from time to time to see if anything changed. It hasn’t? Well maybe in another 2-3 months.

If the game has not gone in the direction people enjoy in more than a year and a half chances are incredibly high that they will continue not to change in the direction they want. Reading and posting on the forums then is kind of counter productive for everyone involved.

No

What rubbish, do you argue got the kitten of it, I have quit the game for months, waiting for new content, doesn’t stop me reading forums to see if there is anything new.

It was more an example of how the Crystal Desert would be the same content as we have now, just with a different paint job.

The exact thing you’ve said you’ve grown tired of.

Different paint job != stale paint job.

So basically, if the Crystal Desert was exactly like, say, Frostgorge Sound, just in a different setting, it would be OK?

With uniquely designed jumping puzzles, other puzzle gimmicks, lore and encounters reminiscent of the Crystal Desert from Guild Wars 1. Sure.

And now you’re getting somewhere on the constructive front.

How would the jumping puzzles be ‘uniquely’ designed? How would the encounters from GW1 be worked into GW2? How would the lore be presented?

I agree with the poster, and to be honest your baiting him. As the poster is not ANET he does not have to come up with the new content ANET does, if they want vets to keep on playing past a certain point. I know a few peeps that feel that new lands to explore would be good as after you have done the same content a few times it can be tedious plus not all the content is for everyone so I might want new lands to explore but hate jumping puzzles for example.

Your not Tippia from Eve are you ?

Got one of these UK

Yeah a bit disappointing, while we are not owed or entitled anything, a small pressie from GW2 would have been nice, look at, Eve nice gift this year they even did 13 days of pressie’s (admittedly only the 24th one was good), a bit bah humbug from ANET tbh.

Thanks for my Wintersday card arrived in the post yesterday and Merry Christmas to all at ANET.

Thanks for the update, but that’s pretty poor communication from ANET, at least change the web site, you would have know before today that you weren’t going to deliver on time …

Hamfast.8719:

This has been brought up many, many times. I would think it’d be an easy fix. But since we’ve never seen it addressed, I can only assume it would throw the whole game out of whack.

The sun and moon go across the sky in the wrong direction, and they are different sizes in different zones. This also spoils immersion, but it can’t be fixed or it would throw the whole game out of whack.

My Sylvari has “lazy eye”. My Human Female Elementalist and my Norn Female Guardian have visible lines around their midsections, but fixing that would throw the whole game out of whack.

My compass only has a teeny-tiny letter N indicating north, and it is practically invisible. Making it stand out and adding the other 3 directions would only throw the game out of whack.

Early on, Human females developed a side-to-side wobble when they ran, and now they look like a windshield wiper. But fixing that would probably throw the game out of whack.

The oldest suggestion in the forums is to add search filters to the trading post so you can display armor based on whether it’s Light, Medium, or Heavy. Apparently that’s impossible without throwing the whole game out of whack.

People post bug reports in the GW2 Discussion forum instead of the Bug Reports forum. Sometimes that gets fixed.

---

Sorry. Just venting. Gotta do that sometimes. It just seems that the simplest things to fix are never fixed. And every time we have a new update, tons of other little things pop up.

EDIT: I see what the filter did to you there… “it spoils the immersion a bit.” And then you said “Cheers”. Even with the line break between “BIT” and “CH eers”, it thought you were talking about a female dog, and turned it into a kitten.

Lol just spotted that, another bug maybe with filter : P

Tal

Why do char foot prints (especially in snow) face the wrong way, when walking, one is facing the wrong way, when running both are … please fix as once you notice it, you can’t ignore it and spoils the immersion a kitten

eers

Now the T3 got a truly uniqueness…

You now know that most T3 owners are the people that asked anet to steal things other people got legit.

T3 from now on = shame…. just remember this.

Really ?? lol, Most T3 owners are ppl that invested 100 gold in an armor set that could not be found anywhere else, by your own argument then most ppl that bought the gem store item are ppl that want to cheat existing users out of a unique item.

GEM store item from now on = Shame

I don’t really think that but lordbyron is talking absolute tosh

Tal

Disappointed in lazy design (and bad at that), looks naff and just a rehash of old armour rather than new, would be annoyed if I had spend gold on human cultural t3 as well…. and if your going to go down this lazy route then please release all other cultural to the store but maybe with better textures, by the way all the armours take inspiration from existing armour sets not just the light

I have the same issue, logged a bug report grrrrr

What we want is a permanent tree harvester in the shape of a chainsaw with the graphics and sounds, now that would sell : )

NEEK.1057:

haha listen to these sad kids… ive opened about 15 and got one

been playing for about 2 weeks

wow your leet …

Approx 100 chest no ticket, 2 char backpacks

I raised this as an issue with Anet after spending a silly amount on keys to get the/a skin and got nothing back.

This was the answer

Fused Weapon Claim Tickets have an extremely rare chance of appearing in any Black Lion Chest (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fused_Weapon_Claim_Ticket). Although we would be unable to provide specifics on their rarity, please understand that increasing the number of chests you unlock does not necessarily increase your chances of receiving a specific item. This is true for all loot within the game. For instance, if an item has a 1 and 10 chance of appearing, that does not mean looting a corpse or chest 10 times guarantees 1 of those items will drop. It only means every time you loot, there is a 1 and 10 chance. Your attempts to find an item do not calculate on a collective level and trigger different results based on your history of looting.

So for me spending cash on this is over. I could spend all the money in the world and still not get anything, Don’t even get me started on the mystic toilet.

I don’t mind spending a bit of cash on games but there comes a point when you realise you are playing a mugs game and stop. Anet will win in the short term, but I bet a lot of ppl like me wont be filling there coffers in the long run. Such a good game being ruined by some silly grab the cash mechanics.

GW2 “Gambling Wars 2” it should be called.

I now have this issue logged it through the in game bug reporter. Wont let me buy Gems tells me approval has been refused, nothing wrong with card, funds in account.
