@ galhalean.7380

I’m trying to come up with analogies to support what I’m saying. And what was the entire point of that paragraph you just wrote? You just threw out some random rhetorical questions.

“did you see the reasoning behind why im doing what im doing? "
Please explain why you are doing what you are doing instead of just asking it condescendingly to dodge an answer. After reading your reply, all you are doing is asking a hodgepodge of questions without a central focus.

“did you sit and think that maybe the situation isnt as bad as you think it is? "
Yes, I did, which was why I gave you the analogy about the World Cup, as this issue is something that prevents you from to fully enjoying your entertainment and leisure activity.

" the complaining isnt going to make it go faster and time and energy spent going on and on about how terrible it is could be used toward getting more reward in different parts of the game. "
I have trouble following here. People are complaining because they want a specific item that can only be obtained from WvW. If they didn’t care about this specific item or how the delivery of this item was handled, they wouldn’t be complaining. A Twilight doesn’t substitute for a Mistforged weapon, and it only takes a few minutes to make a post on the forum at most, so it’s not like they are sitting all day spending 3 hours posting. And I even said in my previous post that it wouldn’t make the issue be solved any faster, so we agree on that point. Why are you even bringing it up then?

“you want me to comprehend and try to see things your way but you dont make a good case.”
Where is your evidence? You can’t just say something without backing anything up. Cite my reply, and I will try to explain to you why I said it. Make a case for yourself and give me reasons why my case is bad.

“So yes i comprehend whatyou wrote and i state that you didnt comprehend what i said. a constructive argument is when two people listen and compair points of view, which i dont think you tried did you? "
You aren’t saying much. And your grammar isn’t helping your case either. You’re not evening constructively criticizing anything, and your arguments are all over the place and only consist of generalizations that for the most part I already covered in my previous posts, such as acknowledging the fact that the issue can’t be fixed any faster and that people are frustrated.

" an argument with only one person listening isnt an argument. so i as i listened, did you?"
Are you sure you listened, because my last post was meant to explain to you why the people are frustrated and saying how Anet could improve customer relations by having more frequent posts, even if they are just “working on the issue still.”

So please, unless you have specific things to point out, don’t bother responding. I’m trying to explain an issue to you, and you’re just asking questions without a central focus. Never once do you offer any ideas on what Anet could do to improve this situation. So brainstorm a bit and get back to me with ways that this situation could be handled better rather than just a few rhetorical questions written with poor grammar and punctuation meant to attack me rather than improve this issue. My goal is to kitten this situation so that any other person reading it can understand what the situation is like, so even if you don’t like my response, I can at least hope someone else will be more understanding of this situation.

Alright, I’ll give one last shot, since this argument can go on forever and will not change how quickly the rewards will be dispersed.

Since all my analogies have been “greatly exaggerated,” let’s use something on a similar scale to not getting an in-game reward. Let’s say you and your neighbor are hyped to watch the World Cup, but one day your neighbor’s cable goes out and he can’t watch it. Likewise in GW2, the people are all hyped to get their WvW tickets but some unfortunately did not receive their chests after completing the meta.

So your neighbor calls the cable company, but the only fix is to cut off cable access to the entire community until they can resolve the issue with your neighbor’s cable, just like how the WvW tickets are effete as of now. “That’s fine,” you say. World Cup is just a source of entertainment, as is GW2. No one’s life is on the line; you just won’t be able to enjoy something that you’ve been waiting on for a long time.

But since you’re concerned and interested in knowing when the cable will be fixed for your neighborhood, you decide to give the cable company a call. They reply that they’ve “identified the issue and are working on it but not on weekends.” You are now a little frustrated, since there is no ETA on when the fix will be, and you won’t know if you can catch any of the World Cup matches live but aren’t sure whether to make plans to do something else or not because the cable could come back any day. Not to mention, when you call in every day to check on the status, you get no reply on the other line. Once in a while, you get a notification that merely reaffirms that a problem exists but doesn’t give you the progress on fixing this issue. This essentially mirrors how Anet is treating the issue with WvW rewards based on the reactions in this thread.

Bear in mind no one is dying over something like missing the World Cup, but now you have to deal with the frustration of everyone in the neighborhood who were also soccer/football fans who wanted to catch the World Cup matches live who now cannot just because one person (the group of players in GW2 who did not receive their rewards) in the neighborhood had an issue with his cable. And to make matters worse, the cable company doesn’t disclose any information about how far along they are in fixing the issue other than the fact that they acknowledge an issue exists. So now do you know why people are angry despite the fact that “Anet is working on it”?

Of course, no analogy can be perfect, but I feel this faithfully exemplifies the key opinions and feelings that are flying rampant throughout this thread. Of course it’s important to be patient and wait things out, but I would hope that whatever you do, you take seriously and to keep people abreast of updates. Much of the dissatisfaction voiced in this thread now is not about people not being able to use their WvW tickets but in Anet’s reticence in keeping people updated about the current condition. Even a short daily post that tells people “We’re still working kitten the issue” helps allay a lot of frustration and shows that Anet has their customers in mind.

And if you cannot comprehend this analogy, then there is no point in further replying to your comments as they are merely serving to underscore technicalities that do not facilitate further discussion.

Imagine if doctors didn’t have to take call or work on weekends. You’re hemorrhaging blood? Sorry, I don’t work on Saturday.
And before someone says a video game issue isn’t the same as someone’s life on the line, I just want to drop my 5 cents. Regardless of what scenario, you should hold yourself to a higher standard and be accountable for your actions. If you can’t solve the problem in a timely manner, at least let others know so that they aren’t kept in the dark.

Ok well where to start…. Well first, your comparing a small issue with one part of a game (as in, the game is still playable with the issue at hand) to a serious medical issue that puts someone life at risk? can you be more stupid? let me lay some knowledge on you. With medical issues there are lives at risk where some doctors are on call for emergencies cause you know… people can die which is why most doctors have varying off days of call ins… because, again people die….. with games people do die over the issue and seeing and no one can die from this issue they have the normal days off as any office staff would with weekends off.cause you know people dont die over it….(getting the hint yet). They are taking accountability for the mishap by actually trying to fix it. So if this is you feeble attempt at an argument feel free to try again lol casuse i love swatting the weak argument out. Because, if you say that you know the compairison is bad then why still make it?

Of course, I would expect someone to respond without having fully read my post and then make a direct attack about my intellect. Of course the comparison is exaggerated to make a point. I even note that a patient in critical condition is different from not receiving an in-game item due to a bug. But regardless, when fixing a problem, one should hold him/herself accountable and work hard to resolve the issue regardless how serious the issue is. And if the issue is something that isn’t that trivial (which in this game it seems to big a pretty tough issue if it’s already taken this long), then instead of just saying “we have a lead” or “we’re working on it,” they should just say the issue seems more complicated than we had thought instead of giving ambiguous updates that keep players waiting with bated breath. And just to make another medical analogy, since you seem to “enjoy them oh-so-much,” if someone had a diagnosis of a severe illness, would you as a doctor wait until you had already treated them half-way through before you told them what they had? Transparency is good for rapport regardless what profession you are in.

My bet is now till July 1st.

Rewards will be with the next living story patch. If not, no rewards.

You guys should just focus on season 3 and pretend that season 2 rewards never happened. Owait…

I don’t even care about the mistforged skins at this point. Just let me dual wield those 250 WvW tickets so they don’t go to waste.

Not sure what the original thread is even about anymore with all these arguments flying around.

Place your bets!

Over/unders for fixing the issue by 6/8/2014

We have identified the issue and are working on a solution to distribute the proper tournament chests to all who should have earned them. We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this.

Thank you.

I am happy to see at least some communication from Anet. Do we have an ETA? I’m not too picky; I am a bit miffed about the wait but the wait is insignificant as long as we actually do get our stuff this time around.

Anet and ETA? I don’t think we are ever gona see that, they messed up twice so far on this, first they couldn’t work on proper distribution system for 9 weeks, than we get ETA on June 3rd and that failed too, so you get my point….

Can’t spell Anet without ETA!

Anyone looking into this issue?

The ancestral outfit for several races have clipping issues. Namely in human males, the pants clip through the shirt when running.

Any change you guys are looking into the clipping issues for this item?

Other races have been reporting clipping issues as well found here:

Thanks in advance!

Yaptap

When will the rewards be delivered?

For human males, when you are running, the pants clips through the shirt.

Any update on the clipping issues along the hips?

Muahaha keep buffing banners and let PvE farm go even faster!

Any NA servers have Balth open?

The lag issue is probably the biggest hit for many players, especially with guesting. An easy fix would be just to limit chests to be per ACCOUNT instead of per CHARACTER. This prevents alt farming and you won’t have people guesting on all the servers with their X number of alts. That or make it so guesting on servers doesn’t qualify you for drops.

Also, could we get a dev confirmation that this issue is being looked into? Thanks!

I have my fingers crossed!

So I just finished farming my 100 charged lodestones today and crafted the Foefire’s Essence! Took me a good 2 months or so of moderate grinding and dailies.

However, as I equipped it I noticed that the chain of the sword does not even come close to connecting with the loop of the hilt. The chain is free-floating and it really bothers me that for such a difficult weapon to craft, that the graphics on the weapons could be so buggy. I have attached an image to highlight this problem.

If someone could look into this issue and notify me whether this graphical error will be addressed or that, that would be wonderful!

Thanks,

Yaptap

If you have to pay gold for your dungeon master title, you might as well stop playing. what is the point anymore when you are just buying accomplishments instead of actually playing the game and having the satisfaction of achieving something moderately difficult.

So true, while I’m not against selling spots for speed runs or clears, I feel that titles like “dungeon master” are trivialized by such actions.

They should’ve just kept all of the daily tasks available every day. And from that giant list of daily tasks, you can feel free to complete 5 or however many it requires and finish your daily. So you pick any 5 YOU WANT TO DO!

For these values to be accurate, the sample size needs to be more than just a few hundred or thousand. Maybe 100,000s and that might lend a bit more weight.

My guardian! Got her to 80 a few days ago. Still finalizing the shoulders and boots.

Hopefully they are working on this issue. I actually didn’t notice it until my guildie was looking at my character and saw it from the front.

This line cuts across your character’s abdomen especially if you are wearing a short shirt. when you character idles and stretches, it also seems as if the upper half of your body is split from your lower half.

Would this post have existed if the OP had gotten Dusk?

You aren’t missing out.

I love the new invisible champion mechanic and the 5 FPS mechanism they implemented with this patch!

Such a visceral experience!

Yup just happened to me. Would love for this to be fixed ASAP.

Hey Daphoenix,

Are you still using PVT armor with cleric jewelry?

Thanks!

Are you still using cleric jewelry with PVT armor and weapons?

Hey guys,

I was wondering how do I play with my buddy on another server when we quest and explore the world.

Do I need to be in an overflow server to do so? And if so, how do I ensure I get into the overflow server?

Thanks!

Phoenix would you mind sharing your skill rotation or skill priority when fighting?

DAT A@@!

Made my day

Haven’t run anything all week. Just did CoF path 2. Got 45 tokens.

There are bugs in every dungeon. What’s GOING ON????

Confirmed that the loot bag is still not fixed. Got some lvl 18 blues.

Just about to start a storyline quest and the servers crashed? Anyone else get this problem?

This will help cure my addictive personality disorder.

Only 70 more tokens to finish out my CoF gear, thank god I farmed last weekend.
