Votes are closed? I thought I could vote till tommorow. I should have double-checked the date at the event page. I guess I can throw away all my support tokens……
Thing is the event page didn’t say the time. I checked it last night and the GW2 twitter said nothing either. So I figured I’d have until the next patch or until the end of the day at least. I usually cut anet slack on stuff but this irks me a bit seeing as I wasted some gems on one of the support kits. I guess this is another “learning experience”? Hopefully anet will get to a point where we can stop using this excuse for poor planning and communication.
When I say removed I’m not referring to Cantha as a whole I mean the Canthan District in DR which actually was in fact removed from the game. It no longer exists and now we have a dev in here saying that according to lore it never was a Canthan district but rather an art district.
I honestly don’t get why most of the community wants to rush the idea of creating something Canthan themed or an expansion that gets us there, we’re not even done with Kryta and now everyone wants to move to the next continent.
I mean don’t get me wrong I loved GW Factions it was a great expansion; but still everyone says that if they don’t remake the Canthan district people will rage.
Seriously as of now there isn’t anything Canthan in the game and you don’t see posts everyday about it, if they place something else in there we’ll be in the same state, with no Canthan influence so I don’t see the reason to rage.
Keep calm people and stop grabbing your pitchforks and torches everytime you see something like this.
According to lore the Cantha District never existed but in reality it did and was removed before the launch of the game. Supposedly at the request of NCsoft to be culturally sensitive to eastern audiences and to keep the game more “universal”.
I believe people are so eager because they are afraid we’ll never get to see Cantha. With the fact that it was already in game to some extent and than removed and covered up by lore is sort of a troubling thought. The comments from Josh Foreman in the Cantha Thread make it sound like they would need approval before approaching it again, which seems like we won’t see anything heavily Canthan related until an expansion. I think though that if there was some confirmation that Cantha wasn’t a taboo subject and that Anet would definitely be visiting it in the later future that would sort of quell the concerns and eagerness.
I had this happen to me as well tonight. It’s definitely a pain in the butt.
If this event is going to stay beyond the living story I hope Anet will fix this. It would also be great to be able to report this griefing rather than having to select from the predetermined list of things since none of them really fit this.
