Good call Xhyros, but the problem is I was already one away, that was the last one I needed and had already done the other hero point. I guess I’ll go back and see if I can do it and if that completes it. Will report back.
Just tried it and submitted a bug report. This is still bugged and preventing map completion.
And to note, the event still didn’t fail, it completed even though she died then no event after.
We just let her die after the server reset, killed the risen king. She respawned, and still cannot talk with her, so that didn’t work. And the next events didn’t start.
Explorer Loana for the bolt volume 1 collection in Orr attached to the event “defend her from the risen king” is still bugged. She’s now appearing in a pillar and still does not turn into a vendor.

I think the main concern regarding this is the level of importance of the story.
It’ll be interesting to read people’s feedback as each wing is released, and their reactions to what comes after.
I think that most of us are looking forward to giving that feedback, myself included, however I’m also curious about the question that doesn’t seem to have been answered unless there’s another thread that I’ve missed. Is this storyline presented through the raids only going to be accessible through the raids, and if its such an important reveal that it bridges the gap between HOT and ‘the next big threat’, what was the decision behind gating it through raids?
I understand that its new content and you want to get people pumped and excited for it, which I certainly am, and I’m sure that even if its just a ‘reveal’ leading up to the next big thing that we’ll see possibly in LS3 or the open world eventually, it’d still be cool to be able to go through and see the reveal firsthand. Me personally, I’m a raider, and planning on raiding, however there are those that for whatever reasons being their own, don’t enjoy it and may not ever. With something so seemingly integral and ‘cool’ to the ongoing story of GW2 are they to only be able to watch the story through youtube replays from other people afterwards?
It just seems like a curious design decision, where one would think as story driven as guild wars 2 has attempted to be, that reveals such as this would come through LS or through the open world in general (accessible by all) and then the raids would supplement that by going and possibly fighting some of the big bads, rather then being the wall barring the way to the rest of the story.

Looking forward to the event!
I think this is one of those things where Gaile will post here and explain the issue. Everything else is kind of just going back and forth in this thread.
Yeah these usually end up in arguments between jaded nerds regarding topics that may or may not be related to the initial post (which I shamelessly took part in). So I look forward to his post even though it will most likely be along the lines of “you made a stupid name as a grown man and are banned for 3 days” DealWithIt.JPG
I think naming your character after a real life “celebrity” name is also a ToC violation….so your main point (that it’s not about your junk, but about the rapper), is still a violation (tho, the use of a “nickname” could be debated, I guess).
Yeah since it is a nickname I want to get a final answer. To use a talentless artist as an example, Lil’ Wayne goes by Weezy sometimes. Would naming my character Weezy be against TOS?

Why it was reported is irrelevant as well as what you meant by using it. It’s a registered trademark, so it violates the naming policy.

That alone is enough to force a name change.
Better ban Chris who posted above you too:

AND Blue Stocking who posted here:
so you don’t think urben refernces are good enough reason for a ban so what if s name was a word begining with C that is slang for ladys parts that is not The real meaning of The word would should this be allowed then?
That is a well known slur. The character name I had selected was a reference to a muscial artist.
This post is going in a poor direction that is unrelated. Let’s call a spade a spade; NO ONE reported me because they thought my name was a reference to drugs, they reported me because they probably thought it was a reference to a ball sack. It was not. However, I can most defintely see how it may offend a person that is unaware of the meaning. And the idea that it is a reference to drugs solely comes from urban dictionary which is a stupid source of information (see the third post of the thread that was made in response to astral projections).
My main gripe is that if you google the character’s name it shows what it is truly a reference to for hundreds of pages with the exception of the urban dictionary “hit”.
On a side note the musical artist used that name in this context:
Big Boi names his next solo album Daddy Fat Sax in honor of the great service he received at White Castle http://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/big-boi-names-his-next-solo-album-daddy-fat-sax-honor-great-service-he-received-white-castle
It’s also in violation of one or both of these clauses, drug references aside:
-Reference real-life people
-Reference names of copyrighted or trademarked characters, materials, or products
It’s a reference to his alias not his real life name or his name as a musical artist. I wouldn’t fear legal repercussion from Ron White if I referred to myself as “Tater-Salad”.
Using urban dictionary as a source of a name being bannable is kind of silly. Here are 2 reason why
If my name had “twerk” in it would I get banned? Probably not. However if you look at urban dictionary it would be banned:
“The rhythmic gyrating of the lower fleshy extremities in a lascivious manner with the intent to elicit sexual arousal or laughter in ones intended audience”
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twerk
The artist IS CALLED Daddy Fat Sacks but Urban Dictionary states it is a term that references drugs and sex. (!warning very graphic—→) Why don’t you look up “limp bizkit” on urban dictionary? That is a band but according to that site it is something very different and lewd. Another example is this: What if my name was Wiz Khalifa….then I went to urban dictionary and looked up “khalifa”
“To take a pee and a poop at the same time.”
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=khalifa
I’m ok if my ban is not removed I’m just saying that using urban dictionary to justify what is acceptable to Anet’s TOS is quite stupid. That site takes words so out of context….
Hi there!
First off, I apologize for posting here and potentially wasting your time since I did submit a ticket once I got booted off line. However, I do have a question that was not in the ticket I submitted. My in game name was “Daddy Fat Sacks” which is the rap alias to a member of OutKast (Antwan André Patton AKA Sir Lucious Left Foot AKA Big Boi) and a strange nickname I received in junior high. I can understand why it can be taken out of context as some sort of slapstick reference but it is not. With that said I have two questions:
1) Is there anyway I can get the violation cut down/removed since it was indeed a reference to this man:
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/34433477/Big+Boi++Dre+Present.jpg
and NOT what I most likely was reported for.
2) I have a different character with the same name and slightly different spelling so will I be given the ability to change that character name to avoid offending anyone and possibly receiving another ban in the future?
I appreciate you reading and look forward to your response. Thank you.
Reference Incident [Incident: 130829-000190]
Also, I do acknowledge that when I first starting playing, my first character’s name was made as a joke referring to an awkward conversation I had with in-game friends in regards to a conversation we had about his brother’s pet reptile -_- and I was forced to change it right away. So this is not my first “offense”.
